EVERY news channel has its agenda. Our job is to realise just what that agenda is and adjust our credulity accordingly.
So very true.
All of these postulations are just guesses....and not very educated guesses either.
What these folk who spread this tripe fail to realise is that every time one of these stories is published, those in the EU rub their hands in glee....because they see the population of the UK running around like headless chickens.
They like to see these divisions sown by the media...It makes their job so much easier.
It is far easier to conquer and rule a divided nation.
We do NOT need the EU anywhere as much as they need us.
We export only something like 39% of goods into the EU and this figure is falling.
If we accept a customs union and a single market we will be tied into the EU forever....paying into the coffers, but with no say in any policies(not that having a say makes any difference...we have NEVER had a single vote that has gone in our favour in the past)...this would be the worst deal ever.
We could not broker deals under the WTO rules while tied into this kind of deal.
We need to be OUT....right out, this is not the hokey-cokey.
