Rather than be economically tied to mainland Europe, we should be capitalising on the fact that the international language of business in the world is English!

If Switzerland, with it's three official languages, and Norway, who are isolated in the fact that Norwegian is spoken nowhere else of any importance, can have strong economies, and good international trade links with the rest of the world, without having E.U. membership, we should be making the most of this massive language advantage.

This is ignoring the fact that not one member of the public in this country ever voted to have a government based in Brussels, issuing laws totally unconnected to trade, that we are now forced to live under.
