re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
Being honest benefits have nothing to do with the EU referendum and are a separate issue that already has many threads dedicated to it's discussion. Stephen you were asked by two of us about your commonwealth comment and you haven't answered I'll assume you recognise you got that one wrong. It is patently absurd to suggest that in the long-term our trade will be less then it is now the ability to make our own trade deals would increase substantially out of the EU and allow the uk to be far more dynamic to changing circumstances.
As for lord Guthrie reversing his viewpoint he wouldn't have done that if nothing had changed and he clearly knows something that is coming and it's enough to make him change his stance. Despite the continual promises from the government there is a great sense of unease about a European army within our military and little faith in the government to keep us out of it. People need to realise that the uk is not the only EU member with a growing anti EU sentiment I've lost count of the amount of French and German friends hoping we do vote out so they can try to obtain a vote for themselves and looking online it's a common sentiment, it isn't just the uk that has problems with the EU and the sentiment is growing.
