Re: Stupid people don't know they're stupid
I assume from the nature of the thread that you are speaking as if leaving was the stupid thing to do...
a) I have nothing against you speaking out against it IF you are relying on fact not name calling. There are plenty if good reasons to leave not least the cost of staying and the serious lack of benefit that accrues for that cost. (and a trade deficit is NOT a benefit!!!!!)
b) If the concerns are legitimate and have no work around then I would agree they need looking at, this load of cobblers is neither a legitimate concern nor one with no workaround (in fact it is a very simple workaround that has been used many times before)
c) It is undemocratic to ignore the majority whether you think them right or wrong.
d) I fail to see how leaving could possibly end up a bigger disaster than staying. Before we joined we had space programs, built our own planes, had armed forces worthy of the name (and not equipped by Spanish tanks and Belgium guns), control over our own sources of power (not told we can't burn coal and must import French energy), could grow and sell any apples we wanted, could produce enough milk for our needs, could sort out taxation as we wanted, could make enough steel for our industry and decide if an industry was strategic and important enough to support etc etc etc
