The freedom of movement rules also apply to Norway and in a large part to Switzerland (both of which countries have a higher number of immigrants per capita than we do. So this whole the EU will let us trade without any of the legislation is shown up yet again as being balls.

You sound worried.

I remember you being totally confident 2 years ago that there simply no possibility of a Brexit. Not even the faintest.

Sounds like a nice day out. I'd much rather that than spend 30 seconds in a pub with Nigel Farage.

Well, if I'm being brutally honest, I'd rather have lunch in Berlin (love a bit of currywurst) and Paris after.

I'll trump that. 1964, me 9 years old wedged in with my six year old brother, and my dad, transported by my uncle in his three wheeler all the way to Skeggie, with the passenger window permanently stuck in the full down position. My second only car journey. Put me off cars for years...
That's not a leopard!
