Marcus - his father was head of electrical engineering at the Poly.The guy with the tool shop no one ever enters or exits on Weston Road has loads of 'leave' stuff up.
In this major debate, we hosted former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, who has long supported further European integration. Against him was Gisela Stuart, the Labour MP and chair of Vote Leave. No ‘little Englander’, she argued that Brexit is the progressive choice. But this was a debate with a difference. As well as our two main advocates, there were three special experts – who shared the findings of their research on the economy, law and immigration. In addition, there was a professional fact checker from Full Fact, an independent fact checking charity, who was on hand to resolve any disputed claim at the click of a button.
The problem with the EU that would bother me most is that around 40% of the budget goes on agriculture - I note that every referendum poster/placard that I see on farmland is for leaving, yet I've heard nothing about what would happen to farm subsidies as a result. Is there an 'official' position on this?
In fact, I haven't seen a single Remain poster/placard anywhere.
Up until a few years ago you didn't need to be a farm to claim payments, I know of several people with gardens of 1 acre who claimed subsidies, of course in the UK we have a large population living on a small amount of land so few normal people would qualify or even realise they could make a claim.
It's not surprising you had all these alleged French farm owners up in arms, when in reality it was just a villager with a garden getting something for nothing.
I to my knowledge there are a lot of hoops to jump through, and rightly so.
