...........They'd be welcome, it isn't worth a toss.

We'd be better with some kind of deal with Russia and Scandinavia, they tell you we need the EU, but that's just propaganda.


Not true, it's worth a lot to the exchequer, however unpalatable it may be.

Until we turn into a net exporter of goods instead of a net importer, we will have to rely on taxation of service industries for a considerable part of our income.

Besides ...what do you think we have got that the Scandanavians and Russians want any more than the EU?
