| Lots of words. No response to my question - just more stuff. (I note the reference to 1975 - are you sure you are not channelling the spirit of RG?) I did not ask if membership of the EU meant investment in skills, productivity, etc. I asked if the UK government was more or less able to make such investment in or outside the EU. The answer is "no" - no difference. A UK decision. And clearly our trading with other countries will not stop with Brexit. No-one has said that. The issue is whether we should throw away the most advantageous, favourable trade arrangement with a $16bn bloc ($19bn less the UK's $3bn). Plus, us being in the EU does not stop us trading with other countries. We do that poorly compared with many other EU countries. So please brush up on info and read questions more carefully. |
