Thanks for the reasonable and polite reply.
I have to disagree on certain points (obviously), as I believe the EU actually increases the rights of workers, and the Euro is certainly not 'our' final destination unless we want it to be.
That may well happen, at some point in the future...perhaps...but it will be of our choosing, not foisted upon us.
As for the capitalist nature of the EU, you cannot escape it here, neither in the south east or Norfolk.
But I respect your view, nonetheless.
May I also ask what you personally believe, will be the benefit/s to the country (as a whole) by leaving?
For me, personally, it would be issues like the ability to re- nationalize service industries. I would like an interventionist industrial policy that allows us to subsidize our steel industry without going cap in hand for permission from an EU competition committee. I do not want my vote on these issues subsumed into a block of 28 countries with hugely different economies.
Anyway, we digress. These issues,NI etc are best discussed on the Brexit thread although I don’t go there as it has more than its fair share of intellectual snobs, loudly accusing anyone who disagrees of being stupid.
