    So Blair thinks "May is a lightweight and Corbyn a nutter" and that he should come back a rescue Britain from brexit.

    Well we got rid of that smarmy Cameron who will hopefully disappear into oblivion as should Blair. That apart I'm not so sure.

    It's clear what were gaining DT - chaos, indecision and an economy going down the tubes. Unless, of course, it's a big bluff to lull Europe into thinking we don't know what we're doing.......

    Putting it in terms that some of you may understand, think of the EU as UKA and the UK as the FRA.

    When the FRA joined UKA it was a tough decision. Ultimately, whilst the FRA still has a great deal of influence, the ultimate responsibility is with UKA.
    UKA make all the rules, and whilst the FRA has influence on them, so do all the other "interested parties" and sometimes something may be put in place that doesn't best suit the interests of fell running, or an aspect of fell running.

    The linkage to UKA is still an issue for some members of the FRA. There are costs and benefits.

    I'd say with the EU, that the costs have eventually been deemed to outweigh the benefits.

    If UKA were the EU then individuals excluded from races for rule infringements would appeal to UKA claiming it infringed their human rights to enjoy themselves.

    Problem is, it would require an economist whole has carried out detailed research into the UK's trading/regulatory relationship with the EU to give a truly accourate answer to that question. Majority of us on here are only basing our opnions on hunches/guesses/prejudices

    This is about much more than pure economic cost / benefit.

    For me it's much more about building / preserving the kind of Britain I would want to live in and I would want me kids to live in. An ever expanding population with accompanying infrastructure / housing etc. is not what I have in mind although I do realise much of this is not related to the EU.

    Without a "Logan's run" type of culling, the population has to keep increasing to pay for all those retired people.
