Greg,
One thing to consider is the number of Japanese companies with manufacturing or assembly plants in the UK, thus helping or 'trade figures', purely on the basis when they were announced of our proximity and membership of the EU
This is no reason to be in the EU. Are you saying we British can not build our own things any more? Sadly too many seem to think like you do rather than takingf the attitude of we once built the best things in the world and we can do it again given the chance.
Who is stopping Britain getting on?
Not Europe for sure.
As Too Hot says, the British are their own worst enemy.
If there are negatives in Britain's membership of the EU she should be relentlessly exploiting those negatives by turning them into positives and taking the trading world by storm with all her other opportunities from within (at least) the Commonweath and beyond.
But, does she do so? No. No. No. She listens too much to politicking fractional parties and attempts to preen her image with cosmetics to disguise her ageing ability to cut the mustard and then blames everyone but herself when she inevitably trips over a poorly repaired paving stone.
Ditching Europe will not aid her cause; it will secure yet another nail in her coffin - and there are far too many in place already.
Britain needs a strong and imaginative leadership. A renewal if you like. Cutting off her nose to spite her face is not the way forward. Sadly, in the current class of politicians, I see no one capable of leading Britain in such a revolution.
coming from someone who left britain, i am not suprised at your negative comments. from where i sit i would rather be here, than in the land of the onion.
britain has been thrown to the lions by europe at every avenue. with health and safety issues and the huge amounts of do's and dont's that europe has placed on this country, is it any wonder companies have not moved forward? banks that do not want to lend to companies, and when they do get the money they are then forced into unwrapping the red tape madness that europe has placed on us. britain has indeed put nails into it's coffin, and everyday we continue to be stiffled by europe is yet another nail.
europe is falling apart at the seams. the beloved french and germans dream of a federal europe, with one voice and one currency is down the toilet. if europe was disbanded tomorrow, france would be down the same line as italy and spain. only europes bankrolling of france make them any kind of power. the french have done nothing constructive for years, and always look over there shoulders towards britain.
the only thing france is good at is making Champagne, germany is europes super power. all well and good running britain down at every opportunity, but at least this country was once great unlike the onion country who have never been successful at anything.
