I am not supporting the side that is pretending we can unilaterally call the shots. Britain is going to find imperfect trade deals, compromises and the inability to get every we want inside or outside the EU. The question is can we have as clout or get a better trade deal out of the EU. I don't think we can and the idea that the fact we're the '5th largest economy' will have little difference when you're dealing with a trading block that will be far bigger.

Another Brexit fantasy. You need to the qualified to do many jobs. One of the examples I gave a few pages back is the Tech Industry in London. They'll take as many IT and mathematics graduates as they can get their hands on and recruit across Europe to do so. It's not for want of trying that they have to go to Europe rather than Britain-Only.
