I think bojo wants England to be the tax haven of tax havens. A Sanctuary for the worlds wealthiest.
It's a dirty game but would make us richer one day. Don't think enough people will buy it though.
Also it might seriously give Russia a chance to take a bite out of Europe If Europe breaks up, which could have a messy ending.Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.0 -

Which is why his Dad suggested he has made a big mistake.He also has a point in saying that an "In" vote basically takes away any negotiating power we might have and will give the "Full Steam Ahead" signal for more EU integration. Like BoJo says, a leave vote may still see us in the EU, but more along the lines of an affiliated member and in all probability alongside a handful of other countries who dont want more political integration.
BoJo is not the most decisive fellow. A leave vote will see us leaving the EU. But yes that will mean the Exiteers will have to work out what they agree with in terms of the forward plan. A Norway solution, a Swiss solution, a Australian solution? No doubt while we are discussing this exit plan we will work out the strategy for the mess we have created by leaving. I doubt the solution will involve a renegotiation of the terms of staying!Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -

"er EU said Brussels bureaucrats were ridiculed yesterday after banning drink manufacturers from claiming that water can prevent dehydration.
look it up.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/8897662/EU-bans-claim-that-water-can-prevent-dehydration.html
Look it up?
http://www.efsa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/scientific_output/files/main_documents/1982.pdf
Two Germans try to convince the EU that dehydration is a "disease", and that drinking water is a "cure". The EFSA convens a panel that very politely tells them to f... off.
I don't like the EU very much either, but there's no need to be silly about it.0 -
theProstitueState bloke doesn't quite get the level needed to communicate effectively with your average UK voter, does he?
Like Boris, you have to lose detail, and then talk about sovereignty a lot (preferably pointing to a picture of the Queen on a pound coin whilst you do so)0 -

I never said we could not. What I was referring to as a mess was a situation in which we have voted to leave but have no plan what to do next.
Negotiating the terms of an exist is one thing. Farage sees this as a straightforward, borders raised and total independence. Others see an arrangement like Switzerland and others like Norway. Which is it? Until we agree how this is done it will be a mess.Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment.

So you do not want to be in the EEA outside of the EU?Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0
