It’s “Stab it with their steely knives, but they just can’t kill the beast”.........the “check out any time....’ quote above is correct, and very appropriate in that the EU will do everything it can to make leaving difficult, understandable self preservation but change will be driven from within over time due to both external and internal factors. Quite frankly we are better off in the long term ploughing our own furrow. I am amazed how the predominant political arguments seem to centre on wealth, income , future affluence or otherwise when the issues of democracy and self determination are so much more important. We are so lucky to be able to argue our case in a peaceful fashion, one has only to look around the globe where populations have lost tens or hundreds of thousands of lives often unsuccessfully fighting for basic democracy and freedom from tyranny and external control. They never seem to so willing to die for the pound in their pocket.
