The United Kingdom is two weeks away from an historic referendum that will determine its future in the European Union.
On the streets of east London, it鈥檚 certainly not hard to find those who will vote to leave the European Union when they will be faced with the question June 23.
"I think we should look after ourselves before anybody else. This country, in my opinion, is not going the right way,鈥� said Leonard Schooling, a flower vendor in Romford Market, Britain鈥檚 oldest market, where buyers and sellers have been bartering and buying in east London since 1247.
People in this working class neighbourhood aren鈥檛 merely 鈥淓uroskeptic,鈥� a now commonly used term. They are convinced greater power and prosperity lie outside the Eurozone.
"All the money this country gets is given to the EU,鈥� merchant Mark Arnold told 麻豆传媒.
In this land of leave, the capital is Margaret Thatcher House, a shrine to the former Conservative prime minister, and the headquarters of the bid to thwart current Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron鈥檚 campaign to keep the U.K. in the EU.
Here, 100,000 flyers are ready to be sent out urging voters to reject EU membership.
Those who favour British withdrawal from the Eurozone -- commonly referred to as the Brexit or the Vote Leave campaign -- say it would allow for better control of immigration and trade policy, as well as save EU membership fees and diminish bureaucracy.
Those who want to stay, say a move would risk prosperity, diminish the U.K.鈥檚 influence over world affairs, jeopardize national security and create trade barriers.
For Tony Geary of the Romford Traders Association, the primary concern is immigration.
"In fact, there's too many people here now in this country. We are an island we are covered by the ocean, the sea. And we continue to let too many people into this country."
