We're going to keep losing out like this if we aren't part of the single trade and if we are then immigration remains the same and so does everything else except we won't get a say in the EU any more but hey! We got to stick it to the man, right?

It's rather satisfying to watch the Brexit campaign continue to self destruct so quickly after their victory. Leaving won't help the NHS' funding, it won't change immigration and we're still going to have to dance to the EU's tune. What were meant to be the benefits of leaving again? There doesn't seem to be any.

As I posted in a thread t'other day (the one where someone thought that "scandinavia" wasn't in the EU ) the prime minister of Norway himself stated quite clearly that the reason his country is able to do well out of the EU is because they are told what's going through as EU legislation, and they piggyback it into their own laws so that they still mirror the status quo. He went on the say that "doing that wouldn't work for a country the size of the UK" (Norway has just 5 million).

But no, of course the UK "has da BIG chair now!!" and so we will be able to write our own rule book whilst dictating trading terms to the puny, terrified EU countries.

You couldn't make this stuff up.
