In case you don’t pay close attention to what happens across the water, the British are thinking about leaving the EU.
More than thinking about it, in fact. They’re having a referendum which will decide whether or not they leave the EU this Thursday.
While it had been looking too-close-to-call for the last few weeks, the Remain side of the argument is beginning to build a lot of momentum going into the final few days of campaigning.
This will surely be buoyed by David Beckham, posting a message pleading with the British electorate to vote Remain on Thursday 23 June.
He posted the political message to his Instagram page alongside a picture of him celebrating a goal with his French former teammate Eric Cantona, hailing the multiculturalism of the teams he’s played for, saying “we were a better and more successful team because of a Danish goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel, the leadership of an Irishman Roy Keane and the skill of a Frenchman in Eric Cantona.”
“We live in a vibrant and connected world where together as a people we are strong. For our children and their children we should be facing the problems of the world together and not alone. For these reasons I am voting to Remain.”

Well you’ve convinced us, David.
