We managed to avoid anything deeper since Gordon Brown's time and doubt any politicians would have found it electorally attractive to do so. The way things were going was leading to a two-speed Europe with countries like the UK and Denmark on the outer core remaining as they were and countries like France and Germany in the central core integrating more deeply.

On the other hand it might just be a particularly feeble attempt at yet more scaremongering posed by someone who's really so fixated on remaining tied to the EU that nothing else matters, even their self respect. That's my bet.
Yes it's all one way traffic - the UK can't survive on its own, the banks will run to Frankfurt and the economy will implode because the EU countries will refuse to sell us their stuff or take ours. Companies will all desert the UK because they'll all prefer ever more onerous EU style regulation and French style strikes. As a supposedly balanced argument it's bizarre which is all the evidence required that it's not balanced at all, it's just more post Brexit apocalypse guff which only ever acknowledges one side of the argument. |
lol. My original post was upbeat about there only being 150 staff relocating. Never mind, no pleasing some people.
