I obviously have more faith in the British spirit than some. Observing rules to export somewhere is what we do all round the world already. It may even be a healthy thing to be freed of the Euro shackles so we can plow our own furrow around the world. There are plenty of takers. I can see the argument that to change and improve the Euro Block it is easier to do so from within but frankly I feel there are just too many self interested parties for that ever to happen the way it is currently configured. There is no reason we cannot rejoin the EU at a subsequent point in history, on our terms, with hopefully a much stronger grip on trade around the world to bring to the table. Its what we do.

On immigration, when we are out of the EU, followed closely probably by Poland and possibly Italy we can initiate a sensible policy that encourages anyone from anywhere round the world with skills and required abilities to settle here whilst stopping the flood of economic migrants that we cannot support. These people are a global problem and its not just down to us to resolve the issue. We can help of course but its not something we can do alone.
