If it's that cut and dry why are the only arguments I've heard so far in favour of staying in hyperbole and baseless claims regarding trade?
I read material from a bunch of people, including heavily from Labour MPs and MEPs, and none have made a persuasive case. All fear, doom and gloom. The exact same arguments that were brought out to try and get the UK into the Eurozone.
The Murdoch press are an easy target for sure, but I'm not convinced it's quite that simple. Indeed the hostility to some negative reports on the EU that can be heard south of the border makes me question this all the more.

I am sure I will return to the trade thing again, but for fear of going over it all again right now I shall just stick to the myth thing.
It really is worth trawling through the EU myths site, not least because all official EU sites are bound in law to state facts accurately. Here you will find retorts to the bilge trotted out by the Europhobe press and politicians.
