I would strongly suggest you read it and perhaps try countering those points rather than simply describing us as Little England and, without supplying any background, claiming that we would be much worse off in the long run than we are tied to this customs union. |
Perhaps on hindsight Little England was a bit OTT but some of the points put by Daniel Hannan l simply don't agree with.
On his first point there are more benefits to staying in the EU rather then being on the outside looking in in my book as pointed out in this article.

Granted London is a great city to visit but its also become very expensive and for many people wanting to get on the housing ladder its simply way too expensive now as even with the living wage its still not enough to get even on the first rung of the ladder.
We are also reducing our Armed Forces at a time when the world is increasingly becoming a dangerous place and we don't even have a Aircraft Carrier until 2020.

Most of our sporting events have gone out of the reach of the working man as they have simply become too expensive for people to go to them.
