    I'll accept your apology in advance...

    You're an intelligent man, I can't understand how you cannot see that some of our industries will absolutely be under threat from leaving the EU? I'm not saying millions of jobs will be lost, I'm saying they will be put at risk.

    800k jobs in the UK are directly or indirectly in the automotive industry sector, which relies hugely on the JiT delivery system...which relies hugely on the Single Market. The costs are not pretty when a production line goes down at one of those plants. And the majority of them are foreign owned. I should highlight this is only one of our industries that is under threat.

    And if you think we don't agree on the EU....don't even get me started on Thatcher!

    My perspective on the whole Brexit debate is pretty simple, we are economically far better off remaining in the EU than we are leaving it.
    Yes you are correct I unreservedly apologise for missing a crucial full stop which makes all the difference to how it reads. Still obfuscation and Brexit certainly go hand in hand.

    Do you you anyway feel obliged to apologise for

    asserting joining Europe is why London became a financial powerhouse?

    the UK stopped being the Sick Man of Europe because of EU membership?

    FYI a neighbour of mine is a City Banker (not rhyming) and he tells me it's a widely held belief (not unaminous) with his colleagues that EU rules and regulations are holding back our financial services sector and we are falling behind the likes of NY and Far East.

    Do I believe leaving the EU puts jobs at risk. Yes I do.
    Do I believe it offers us massive opportunities. Absolutely I do.

    And there in lies the difference between us.
