angst should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Sparky, do you have the website address where you got that info? As to your question, nobody can say. And that's one of the points that I raised earlier - all figures are blurred/fudged/brushed under the carpet. I do know that we pay a great deal of money to be in the EU, and it seems to me that it is the biggest protection racket I have ever seen/heard of in my life. Basically the argument goes that if we're not in the EU then we won't be able to compete on a level playing field as the rest of Europe!!!?? Isn't that a threat? Basically - pay the money or we'll get you.
Maybe I've got it wrong, but that's the other side to this - we never get any sort of reasoned debate on the subject. Which makes me wonder what there is to hide.
But I agree with the general feeling that the protaests should be called off for now.
Now, around election time might be a good time for another set of protests.......
