What would the companies do? They'd get out of the UK to Singapore,USA etc. What would we do without that 11% tax? More cuts, more job losses,more taxes? That would affect everyone!
Fer my money,thats the worst position Britain could be in thanks to Cameron, we hadn't that many,but we have now "Become Billy No Mates" in the E.U. n the fact he says No Referendum needed,will leave us well goosed anyway, Time will tell.
