No single market access for UK after Brexit, Wolfgang Schäuble says

Obvious blackmail attempt from a country begging us to stay on their magazine covers.

Influential maybe, but without sway over the EU. The claim is that we can't have the same arrangement as Switzerland, that we're either in our out, but how can he make the comparison without explaining why we'd be subjected to different conditions?

Yep. hardly mentioned in our media though is it. Poor old Hollande isn't being very socialist denigrating workers rights is he. Interesting times for the left in France.

Probably just trying to bring the French workers into the 21st century nick,let's be fair they have got to be the most selfish set of b******s in Europe.

It's been in the media for weeks.

The chance of any finance jobs being lost to France should we vote out, as was another threat, would be close to zero.

The labour reforms are actually very sensible, and needed. The workers rights you speak of are frankly ridiculous, which is why unemployment remains so high and why they have few entrepreneurs.

The biggest joke of all is Jerome Kerviel who lost £3.8bn and nearly brought down SocGen, has won a case for unfair dismissal. They're bonkers, and the French agree apart from the unions/civil servants. Even some civil servants agree it is a grossly unfair system and a failed one.

Let me rephrase it then.

10,000 EU workers receive a higher salary than the British Prime Minister (regardless of which party he/she is from).

I see the EU as a bit like FIFA.
The sooner they realise it has failed and start a new organisation the better it will be for all the interested parties... Except that is, for the ones who are still riding the gravy train at our expense.

Big difference though- FIFA was (and is) irredeemable as an organisation. EU isn't perfect, but isn't (yet) rotten to the core.

Bit silly to think that we leave, and everyone else throws their hands up and says, 'oh well, UK gone, we'd better pack in the whole thing and start again.' Let's hope if Brexit happens we aren't pleading to be let back in to the club in 5 or 10 years time- something tells me that won't exactly be looked upon kindly by the EU!
