Boris Johnson: June 23 "Could Be Our Country's Independence Day!"

BORIS JOHNSON: At the end of this campaign I think you will agree there is a very clear choice between those on [the Remain] side who speak of nothing but fear of the consequences of leaving the EU, and we on the [Leave] side who offer hope.

Between those who have been endlessly rubbishing our country and running it down, and those of us who believe in Britain. They say we can't do it. We say we can.

They say we have no choice but to bow down to Brussels. We say they are woefully underestimating this country and what it can do.

If we vote Leave, we can take back control of our borders, of huge sums of money--10 billions pounds a year net of our tax raising powers--of our trade policy, and of our whole lawmaking system. The democracy that is the foundation of our prosperity.

And if we stand up for democracy, we will be speaking up for hundreds of millions of people around Europe who agree with us, but currently have no voice.

And if we vote to Leave, and take back control, I believe that this Thursday can be our country's Independence Day!
