Very interesting, thanks WP. I wasn't aware of that - especially the bit about many state-funded institutions being in the CBI. I guess it makes sense that the CBI would want to talk up their importance.

Farmers is an interesting point. I would have thought farmers would be all for EU, since it pays them a lot for not doing much. Anecdotally, one of the fiercest critics of the EU I know is a local farmer. I see the NFU are against a no-deal brexit, but I'm not sure what they think about Brexit in general.
