WE NEED TO CHALLENGE SOME OF THOSE BREXIT STATEMENTS
Well, the 'official' EU referendum campaign has finally begun. Funny, it appears to have been going on for months already. I was interested to see the images of the two official campaigns juxtaposed today in the BBC report on my TV screen. The 'Leave' campaign was illustrated by old footage of Tories Grayling, Gove and Whittingdale etc. manning the phone lines, whereas the 'In' footage showed Tory, Labour and Lib Dem politicians, including the Prime Minister, doing the same thing. For an organisation that has tried so far to be unfailingly impartial in its reporting of the campaign in its 'phoney war' stage, I have a feeling that the BBC has possibly given the 'In' campaign a visual leg up, by showing its multi party nature. Now, whether we get politicians of different parties actually sharing a platform as we did in 1975 is a different matter.

PwC: "100,000 financial services jobs at risk from Brexit"
The International Business Times reported today that a PricewaterhouseCoopers study has estimated that as many as 100,000 financial service jobs could be lost by 2020 if the UK leaves the European Union. This would cause a £12bn loss to the British economy, which is 50% more than the £8.5bn the UK pays to belong to the EU. The impact would not be limited to the southeast: TheCityUK, an organisation that represents the industry, has stated that two thirds of the 2.1 million jobs in the sector are not in London. With financial services representing 12% of the gross domestic product, Brexit could deal a hammer blow to the economy.
