I'm too old to care either way really. I do think that our PM is heading for early retirement no matter which way the voters vote. We could be heading for an early General Election too. 'Project Fear' could very well backfire on itself.
All I will add is we did pretty well without the EU from 1940 to 1945. Could you imagine the 'health and saftey' and PC. brigade during he summer of 1940? No Spitfires or Hurricanes to fly below X feet, and no shooting down those misguided Nazis in their bombers. Perhaps if they invaded we'd give 'em benefits
Reminds me of a little story I read on another forum. Allegedly the German air controllers at a certain Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They, it is alleged, not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 209.
Speedbird 209: "Ground, Speedbird 209 clear of active runway."
Ground: "Speedbird 209. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 209: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 209, have you not been here before?"
Speedbird 209 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark,... and I didn't land."
