Training Risky,

Yeah right, and devastate the UK economy inside five years!

My particular speciality in Law is Commercial, although now practising rather more broadly, I do retain certain "relationships."

These are mainly with the larger multi-nationals, the companies who have invested so much in the UK over the past 20 years and kept our manufacturing sector the size it is.
They are here to take advantage of our labour practices, our ethos and our language. They export 80 to 90% of what they produce and most of that goes to Europe, our largest single trading relationship.
If we were outside the EU these folk would scale down their operations and move elsewhere. They wouldn't go overnight, but they would go.
Even being outside the Euro Zone causes some of them significantly increased operating costs.

Norway has a trading relationship with the EU and has a very tiny population, they also pay very high rates of tax! You cannot compare the UK to Norway!
