Cashy that is what the Europhiles want us to believe. It is scaremongering. It is the citing of job losses...and other things, that would make life in the UK harder for the common man...telling us that the countries in Europe would refuse to trade with us.

If we have a good product that is competitive...then the world will beat a path to our door.

It really doesn't matter how things go, to us 'oldies'. We have had our lives.

It does matter for the younger generations....if they do not want to be constantly paying for the debts of the weaker countries in the EU....Saddled with financial responsibility of them......if they do not want to be ruled from Brussels with laws that do not reflect our(the electorates) wishes....if they want to have work to support their families...then we must have the chance to be the authors of our own destiny.

We must be allowed a vote...and a vote that has the reality of action attached to it.
If we are allowed to vote and that vote is not acted upon - for whatever reason. I think it would be safe to say that British democracy is dead......and we might as well turn Westminster into a nursing home for old duffers.
Still, looking on the positive side(which you taught me so well Cashy) we could stop paying for those lazy, money grubbing, trough snorters....the MP's(Honourable isn't exactly how I would describe them).

As an aside. David Cameron is just playing a cynical vote catching game, that might just turn and bite him on the bum.
