Good post, momentary.

Matthew Elliott doesn’t say what the costs would be to us if we do leave the EU in terms of how will it affect imports and exports? Will they become more expensive?
Will other EU countries refuse to trade with us?
Elliott doesn’t say what the economic impact is envisaged to be. It’ll be no good us leaving and each person saving approx £1600 if it means the cost of food and living goes up due to increased export and import tax.
Being argumentative is fine just as long as you balance that with a touch of common sense.

Too true, Panda.
In theory we could buy non EU food cheaper but lots of other things would be more expensive. In practice because world food prices have actually recently pushed EU food prices up, even that is unlikely to happen.
Our exports to Europe would become less competitive and nobody else would be rushing to take us into their club, cos they just don’t need us (and no-one likes people who rat on their mates).
I’m really off to get that life now – well at least I’m off to get lunch. Does that count?
:lol:
Just had lunch, Momentary!
I think some ppl forget we don’t have an Empire to rape and pillage anymore.

Can’t argue against the Matthew Elliott point in your previous post about doing a full analysis of the costs and benefits of the EU.
We are all guilty of picking the bits that excite or interest us and making a full case from those (well I am sometimes anyway).

Sadly I haven’t – just getting a bit too involved.
I hear a baked potato calling – I know how to live!
