where did you get this 2.5% figure, cause I suspect it's total bks..
Well, if you're too lazy to google it, try this:http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/docum...
Plus you might want to reflect on this, and the impact of all those elderly Brits currently being looked after by the Iberian health systems who will be back claiming off the NHS if we leave the EU:

Anyway we would be better off financial.

F*cking unbelievable. Even Bliar must be laughing at this!
Surely Putin should be nominated as well?
And now the head of GE saying that international relations are more important than whether UK is in or out of the EU.

What the hell were the 13% thinking about http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11909...

Yep he is spot on. From his perspective he is, it matters not much. Taking other factors into account means the 87% in the Telegraph poll, unscientific and self selecting though it may be, are also correct. EU is a fair weather organisation, events of the last few years, and in particular the last few months, have shown how particularly useless it is when the fair weather ends and the stormy waves whip up. Any organisation can survive and prosper on a calm and rising tide, rough weather and low water soon shows up poor planning, navigation and captaincy. The EU has all the marks of an old square rigger, embayed in uncharted rocky waters with a strong onshore gale.steveT350C said:
As the first comment says the Euro-philes will have nothing much to say in answer to that, except in their snidey way to point out that Pete North is the son of Richard North, as if in their little minds it makes what he has to say of little worth. They're just plain wrong in that of course as the EU is an expensive encumbrance. Bit like one of those companies with many layers of expensive key rattling middle management. FiF said:

Indeed it is.It would be good to create a wiki list of all the big guns who have joined the 'out' campaign. If it were in a jpg format I could use it on Twitter. I would do this myself but
I will start pulling together names, organisations and quotes....
The Sunday Times front page suggests that CMD is in a panic after the Out campaign launched, while The Independent - it is, are you - puts scaremongering before reality when it says we would have no say on the terms of a Brexit before caving in straight away by admitting that our economic clout would have the rest of the EU licking our boots to maintain trade via a favourable deal.
This will do for me:
“It's time to be a bigger part of the world rather than a smaller part of Europe. We believe Britain could do so much better outside of the EU”.

I seriously struggle to understand how anyone could genuinely believe the EU is worth keeping, let alone believe it's worth being a member of.
I am a aware of nothing, and I challenge anyone to show me anything to the contrary, that the EU has achieved that is worthwhile and couldn't have been achieved without the EU existing.
Recent years have shown again and again that, as an entity, it is inept, incapable and a huge waste of resources.

It's not just the UK, or even another European country that has 'issues'
