Excellent article, which Europhiliacs should read:

2016-02-17 Ten Euro-myths debunked

But of course they won't

[TheFaQQer]

I particularly like the use of gross figures to support the claim, ignoring anything that comes back.

Absolute bunkum, if I could really be bothered I could post links to websites that contradict most of what is written there but I can't see the point...

Oh go on!

Oh go on!

What's the point? You've made your minds up and nothing is going to change them but lets tkae the second sentence of the first point:

It comes from a paper by the Brussels-funded CBI...

This is a 'non-truth', not a lie but not quite the truth. The CBI is given a grant by the EU but it gets the majority of its funds from Britain. Now if he has to do that, intimating that the CBI is a Brussels cabal, then what else is not quite right?

I could point you to:

The EU - What's in it for me?

Each side has their own little 'debunked' story...

**** the statistics.

If it costs us 25% of our GDP - so be it.

I read it.

Didn't mention the fact that we have hundreds of thousands of ex pats all over europe who may be on dodgy ground, and that it scuppers many peoples plans to do the same in the future.

I read it.

Didn't mention the fact that we have hundreds of thousands of rich pensioners all over europe who pay their own way but of course if we leave the EU Spain etc will throw these cash positive residents out just to spite us, and that it scuppers many peoples plans to do the same in the future, imagine buying a house in an EU country then finding out the planning and zoning are all correct instead of our fellow EU states ripping down British owned homes across Spain?

FTFY
