Many British farms not viable without EU support, says NFU

Another referendum on our membership? Remind me again when the first one was, bar joining back in the 70's. I think you're confusing Brexit with the votes on the Nice & Lisbon treaties. I wasn't happy with two referenda, but unlike UKIP - who totally have the Republic of Irelands best interests at heart - I won't be having a stroke over it.

As a farmer I'm happy to be in the EU, there are huge flaws within CAP but 90% at member state level.

As a country I'd say we'd do well after a Brexit. We'd be the only, well I think bar Malta, English speaking country in the Eurozone. Happy days for the only thing our Government know what to do, attract Foreign Direct Investment, pharma, tech companies etc.

Ireland as a whole with the possible exception of farming could do very nicely out of Brexit, but depends on what deal the UK ultimately gets from the EU.

Yup, true, not quite sure I'd agree on farming, that's mostly internal issues here. You know what they say about how things will be after the revolution, different, not better, just different.

Or the Republic or Ireland, or just Ireland as the rest of the world calls us.

We were becoming net contributors to the EU before the sh!t hit the fan in 07/08.

Some believe we gave away much more to the EU in fishing rights than we brought in in other ways.
