Europe should become euro wide including the UK, and forget this business of a trade agreement with the US."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark Twain -

So you both want a continuation of the loss of £50 million/day directly to the EU, huge waves of poor immigrants into the country choking all our public services, and the strangling of more and more economic, social, and cultural activities by the EU? No thanks.
And by the way Major is wrong - look at Switzerland. Not part of the EU and as rich as everyone else!Comment

He's a much better ex-PM than he was PM, it has to be said. It makes you wonder if today's politicians might turn out to be quite intelligent once freed from having to be politicians.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Britain would be better off out, although there would be a dip of 3-4 years while our economy adjusts.
After that we'd be trading with larger markets on better terms.
Plus of course, if we did leave, the EU wouldn't put up punitive trade barriers with the UK, since the Germans still want us to buy their cars, the French their cheese and wine, and so on.
The "worse off" argument is scaremongering.Comment

If the UK leaves the EU, there is no reason to suppose that we cannot negotiate with the EU. The EU is free to adapt its rules based on circumstances outside itself as well as inside.Comment
