:10:56. > :10:59.stock, but it's also more than five hours Drive from the Scottish border
:11:00. > :11:03.and in the context of the EU referendum, that's a very different
:11:04. > :11:08.environment, so when it comes to Corby Scots casting their vote, does
:11:09. > :11:17.geography or history play any part? If you look and listen carefully,
:11:18. > :11:23.the Scottish influence is clear. But with the date fast approaching, how
:11:24. > :11:28.does Corby's experience of the EU referendum compare? I want the
:11:29. > :11:32.chance to vote for it, too. In the town's Theatre, they are exploring
:11:33. > :11:35.it on stage. Corby is a very diverse town and there are many people who
:11:36. > :11:41.have come from other places to help the town grow and it might be that
:11:42. > :11:46.it has a particular kind of insight about EU debate that you might not
:11:47. > :11:50.get in other places and maybe not in Scotland, but certainly they are
:11:51. > :11:52.very energised about it here in Corby.
:11:53. > :11:57.ARCHIVE: The gigantic machine is shifting man across the field...
:11:58. > :12:02.Decades ago, Corby's steel industry was a magnet for Scots looking for
:12:03. > :12:08.work. Today, people arrive from different directions. Immigration is
:12:09. > :12:13.a big talking point. They are coming in their thousands now, lots of
:12:14. > :12:17.people, and we have more eastern European voices that you hear, more
:12:18. > :12:22.than the English voices, and I think it's widespread. You've got to
:12:23. > :12:26.remember that if it wasn't for economic migrants, Corby wouldn't be
:12:27. > :12:32.here because it was built on economic migrants. And I think
:12:33. > :12:36.people have got a short memory. At this butcher 's, business is the
:12:37. > :12:39.priority. Scotland is an important market. The owner is mindful of a
:12:40. > :12:45.possible Scottish dimension to the EU result. If the second referendum
:12:46. > :12:51.comes and Britain decides to leave the EU, then I think that
:12:52. > :12:56.personally, businesses in Corby that deal with Scotland would definitely
:12:57. > :13:00.sit up and listen. Corby has already voted to leave the EU, albeit in an
:13:01. > :13:05.unofficial referendum held last year. The remaining campaign
