Another positive for EU membership has been the pressure on mobile phone operators to bring their roaming charges down. We can thank Vivian Redding for championing the cause of the consumer in this battle.

Mobile operators have all put up their contract costs because of this. So if you are someone who doesnt travel to the rest of the EU on a regular basis, your phone bill has gone up unnecessarily.

Had no idea that two thirds of Tory MP's are supporting Brexit. Is that accurate?

Hmm, that doesn't sound likely.

If it were true, someone is missing a trick by not providing a cheaper no-roaming-at-all contract. Unless this is banned?

Don't know - but I'm personally really disappointed (if not surprised) at the state of the Labour Party with regard to them promoting the pro EU position (which is supposed to be Labour Party Policy). I've seen more off Kate Hoey than any other Labour Politicians (anti-EU)

Useless. Why are they discussing Trident and nuclear disarmament when they should be discussing the EU. !!!!!!?

I will blame them as much (as anyone else) if we are stupid enough to get a Brexit.

They are doing their usual thing of avoiding 'dangerous' issues that may be controversial with leftie voters/opposition MPs – since many of them probably support leaving the EU. Judging by the increasing and obvious mess the EU is in (even leaving aside issues of sovereignty, etc.), I'm not surprised that so many people want to Brexit.:T

Oh dear Angry, really, even you should see how silly that is.
You just can't except that there some things to be written on the positive side of the argument.

A normal company faced with a fall in revenue will seek to increase it.
Any such increase will be constrained by the competition: if all the other suppliers increase prices then the prices rises will hold, if not they will fall.

I've no idea whether mobile price are rising or falling or whether roaming charges were a significant profit centre.

Not really sure if the likes of Corbyn, Diane Abbott or Emily Thornberry adopting a pro-EU position would be a good thing for the 'remain' campaign. :eek:
