Kippers

[CMAC]

It would be suicide to leave and anyone or party that thinks Britain can stand alone these days is naive. Just as naive as thinking if we werent there we would have £55m per day to spend on what we want.




p.s don't like kippers- rainbow trout grilled in champagne and served with truffles is my preference.

To quote UKIP
I cannot see any way that the EU would not want to sell their goods to their biggest market, it would be a disaster for them not to.

I agree. They'll just likely be more expensive!

Btw. I believe that £55m is Gross cost. The net cost is something like £5Billion per year/£15m per day. Probably about the same as some Government Departments spend on Paper!

As for the reduced power vacuum cleaners, that's to 'save the world' and will probably be good for UK as Dyson cleaners will still comply! It's along the same lines as the Fuel Efficiency/Pollution requirements imposed on Car Manufacturers. Do you see those as bad too?

So our goods would be more expensive! No one would be better off with trade barriers, especially the EU.

I doubt very much if reduced power Vacuum cleaners will save the world, you will have to use them for longer to do the same job. I see them as matters best dealt with and decide on by ourselves, we don't need outside agencies to control such matters, we pay for an army of our own civil servants to do this. It's Ok for the EU to advise but thats all.

If we are out of the EU the £55 million will be our own money to do as we wish with.
