Why does the UK need the Eu? It doesn't !

So this week we have an acceptance for the Greece debt problems. However, these will prove to be only temporary.
Working for a bank that is a combination of 2 counties I am beginning to see cracks.
The bank seems to have panicked and are now slashing jobs left and right!

Now the EU is trying to force the UK into 2 things at the moment.
1. Give benefits to any EU national who comes here for a holiday. This of course will not work the other was as other countries may only offer a pittance of benefits or will not give them to visitors.
2. Trying to force the Financial business into restricting derivatives in the financial markets.

The UK will not like this as approx 25% of HMRC revenue come from banks and their trading.
Which is why the EU wants it to be spread to Germany and France etc.

If we left the EU, we would save an enormous amount of cash to pay off our debts.
We would be able to control our laws and general sales rights.
Lots of other items

It will also put a huge financial pressure on Germany and France (who is a net taker of cash from the EU)

Yes Germany is our best trading partner of 40%, but will they stop trading with us? Maybe by putting an extra tax on us. However, we will find other markets to grow, like the USA and Far East.

I think it's about time our Government started to think with Common Sense and put the pressure on the EU and not the other way around.
What I do think strongly is that if the UK break away then other countries will as well, like Denmark and Holland, which both countries think alike the UK.
