THE Remain Camp are constantly telling us that we are better off and stronger in a united Europe.

That together we are better placed to negotiate with other of the world’s largest economies.

Well, currently, the EU does not have a trade agreement with any country larger than South Korea, a country with an economy half that of the UK. So why is this?

Well for example, France blocks any agreement that might compete with its own inefficient industries from farming to airlines.

Are the French about to change their ways?

Also, Remainers are unable to allay fears on immigration, currently running at unsustainable levels.

Can you blame a Romanian on a average net monthly income of £293 moving to the UK, where the net average monthly income is five times that at £1,560?

With the statutory minimum wage likely to rise to £9 per hour (or more) by 2020 think what a magnet the UK will be then to impecunious eastern European countries.

Free movement among member states is non negotiable Mr Cameron.

If you are undecided on which way to vote, ask yourself this. If the UK was not currently a member of the EU, would you vote to join it?
