What I'm still waiting for is for someone to post here a well-thought-out few paragraphs that say something along the lines of, 'closer European integration is a good thing because, 1. 2. 3. ...'
Preferably this list should avoid meaningless cliches about inevitability (because it isn't), and putting forward holiday exchange rates (which are utterly trivial when compared to the economy as a whole).
EDIT
Just spent a few minutes reading that site. Long on the scaremonger rhetoric (Britain will be 'on the fringe', 'left behind' 'has nothing to fear', etc etc etc etc) but very short on fact-based discussion. A real pity, as I genuinely want to engage with this issue. I think my favourite part of the whole site, though, is the link which promises to tell you all about how the Euro would be good for Britain ... it causes a 404 Page not found error.
