Our reader takes issue with MP Bill Wiggin's argument for leaving the EU
Bill Wiggin asserts the putative benefits of Norway and Switzerland being outside the EU(readers' times, March 31). Again I have to remind him that both these countries have to abide by EU regulations, have to contribute to the EU budget and allow freedom of movement.
It is a matter of judgement what funding will be available for farmers.
A post-Brexit government will be under severe pressure: The pound is projected to fall; FDI will dry up; Tax revenues will diminish; Wales and Scotland will seek independence; Ireland will be in meltdown. The farming community will have to suffer with the rest of us.
