Every bugger hates it, everyone wants out, nobody's interested, and yet ....
Wrong, I like Europe, have many good French friends, I want the UK to trade with Europe in a free trade area to all of our mutual benefits, but I don't want to be ruled by a European dictatorship or UK law to be subservient. I want a strong independent UK that makes its own agreements around the world, sits and has its own voice (Not the EU's on global standards committees) so we go back to what we are good at as a global trading nation.
I haven't got a lot of time for the IMHO fool Lord King, but this UK / China agreement of the UK trading their currency is the sort of thing we are good at and must have Brussels, Paris and Frankfurt cursing us again, where we continue to reinforce London as the global financial trading centre, that they are out to destroy.
I think many Europhiles will be proved wrong again if / when we leave the EU, as substantial supply side reforms will then be possible which will make our economy much more attractive and we will have a mini manufacturing boom, just like Turkey is enjoying at the moment. Turkey and Eastern Europe has similar wage structures, so ask yourself the question why are companies investing in Turkey and not Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic? It is because Turkey is outside of the EU and all of the costly social legislation. Turkey is adjacent to a major market without all of the incumbents costs!
