You ask all these questions, but haven't they already been answered many times over. Europeans living and working here; is there any reason why they would not be allowed to stay? There are already people of ALL nationalities living and working here. The 350m IS the correct top line figure, even Boris will admit we get perhaps half of that back, but his point remains... We have no control over either how much we get back, or what it is spent on, and of course there is still rather a large sum that we DON'T get back. Roaming charges.. Well perhaps I'll grant you that one, but do you really believe that to be sufficiently important? And even if the are abolished, the providers must surely recoup the money elsewhere, so if you don't pay roaming charges, you will simply pay more elsewhere. Traveling in Europe; can't you already travel the whole world? Can you really imagine Spain saying Sorry, we don't want British tourists anymore. European students: student exchange programmes already operate outside the EU, and are generally considered beneficial to all. I can't see any reason why we want to change that. How will the City fare: well perhaps it is the City who are calling the shots here, but there is a whole world out there that they already operate in, and unless you are saying the UK economy can't operate outside the EU. Of course the EU could put restrictions on financial transactions, but then we could put restrictions on EU imports. There has to be a balance. Restrictions on Google etc. Can't see why we can't do that outside the EU, after all, it's a global market place and we already have to cooperate with many other countries to counter tax evasion. And, as you say, it has taken the EU many years to act. Workers rights: surely not beyond the capabilities of our own government, who we actually can kick out should we not approve of there actions. It will take several years to negotiate our way out of the EU, so EU laws won't disappear overnight. Perhaps we might loose some laws that we rather like, but we can still make that known at the ballot box. And even if we do get Boris as our next prime minister, which I rather doubt, he to will have to face the electors quite soon afterwards. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Polly, and new EU workers coming to fill needed posts? Out of the EU it will cost more and add delays.
£350m is an irrelevant figure, we NEVER hand that much over. Boris might as well claim we cough up a gazillion pounds a week since we'd get most back. Even the rest of the Out campaign is too embarrassed to claim we pay that much. Of course we will still be able to visit Spain. But without the right to free travel it will become more bureaucratic, in both directions. We could indeed put tariffs or constraints on EU financial transactions or trade, but as we are so much smaller that the combined might of the EU, who will win that battle? You think the UK government will have the guts to take on Google etc? Just remind me how much tax courageous George extracted out of them? At least the French are doing something about it, we just caved in. Workers rights? Frankly I don't trust the conservatives to protect them. I think it's alarmingly likely we have Boris as PM by the autumn. Tory MPs are already openly challenging Cameron, and we'd be stuck with him for 3 years. |

I think it mirrors quite a lot of governments, I think they are similar to senior civil sevrants here in the UK (although not identical). Although they aren't voted in, many important jobs don't even have a vote closed or otherwise in this country and I'm not sure that's overly bad. It would be nice to vote everyone of importance in, however you end up too many elections. At some point you have to let, whatever system of government you have, get on with it.

The truth is the amounts the EU retains that come back as grants are project-specific, we have no control over how that money is used. In addition, the 'discount' is calculated after our 'membership dues' are subtracted. So the combined real world total is that £350 million a week that we would retain total control over and would be able to use as we see fit rather than being told what we can use it for.

If you ask to borrow £20, I agree to lend you £10 and then you only return £5, my exposure to you is £5. In these circumstances it would be wrong to claim you've cost me £20, when in fact you've cost me £5. |

Agree it's quite tricky, it's a three legged stool. We could of course remove them, but that could cause problems that we won't forsee. Communism, that's a bit strong. |
