Chris Grayling - Mr. BRITEXIT

Chris Grayling seems to be preparing to lead the EU BRITEXIT faction in the Conservative Party.

If we left the EU it could cause the break-up of the United Kingdom as Scotland would almost certainly want to stay in the EU and so would Wales. If the financial services sector moved to Frankfurt or even Scotland - Edinburgh for example, how would we fund benefits and retirement pensions in England etc?

If we left, how keen would the EU be to see trade with the UK. What if the door was shut and bolted behind us, with tariffs and regulations that simply made doing business with the EU that much more difficult?  

In military matters how much clout have we got with an army of just 70,000 odd servicemen and women against China as an example with two million troops? How could we tackle international terrorism or trade wars on our own? International crime, such as money laundering, tax evasion and drug trafficking.

The argument that people come to the UK to claim benefits is largely a myth. We find most legitimate foreign workers doing just that [working], driving taxis, washing cars etc. The wages paid are helping their own countries in Eastern Europe grow and become better business partners for the future and prospects for own manufacturers, sadly the few we have left.  

The EU is the most democratic organisation in the world. It does not chortle the benefits of EU membership to the UK public because that’s not what it does. If there are problems the EU is made a scapegoat by politicians.

The EURO as a currency has caused unforeseen issues. The fact that the EU is so successful has caused it to be a magnate for migration. In time these problems will find solutions.

After the ‘War to end wars’ we have seen how conflagrations can ignite, even in civilized Europe, take Ukraine as an example or the Balkans. As part of the European family we may have our differences but it is better to ‘jaw, jaw than war, war’.

The ABC recently wrote to all the European Countries in the EU via their Embassy’s in London regarding WORKTV. Here is the list:
