The minimum wage is a sticking plaster over an amputation.......Don't YOU know ???
As you seem to know you must mean those hard working people who travelled herd to do the jobs that the locals either did not want of were too lazy or lacked the skills to do and fuelled our booming economy?

Their clothes are made in India and China and they have stores throughout the EU and other countries.. If their profits are struggling its more likely because of super cheap imports by the supermarkets that sell them at a loss.

Nothing to do with the EU

Could it be because your wife has not yet gained a European citizenship and you feel she would have more chance in Britain?

Wrong, I want you out, because that was your democratic choice. I still think it is stupid to do so, but the brits are not renowned for their intelligence but for their stubborness.
My wife was born in the netherlands, just like her father. She feels a bond with britain because her father fought in the RAF. And way back there is scots blood in her veins. But as the scots say, one drop is enough.

Well don't worry, I am sure that leaving the EU will not prevent her visiting the UK when we leave.

I think it was British intelligence that put us on the winning side in in both world wars, but god help the EU now Germany has welcomed so many illegal immigrants....the only side they will be supporting will be Allah's!

Good point.

Whatever the EU supporters say, I am sure that our intelligence services provide far more information than theirs do.

Haven't you heard? They have free movement in the EU, so they all go to ireland. Since there is no border (check) to the UK, prepare to extend your famous british hospitality to them!

No I'm not - next sells mens, women and children's clothes as does tesco, sainsburys etc. Its probably more to do with high street rents than anything eu related.

What are you googling up now ? Lord Wolfson used to be a remainer by the way ...

Your clutching at straws again
