Therein lies the root question.
Do we 'belong' to the EU? I contend the answer is no. We are able to be self sufficient and should be self regulating.
Do we belong in the EU? Again, 'no'. Norway is out, the IOM is out, Channel Islands, Switzerland.....Personally I see no benefits to the UK to be in the EU and am very much a Eurosceptic.
I think we should get out of the EU and EASA at the same time.
Please feel free to convince me I am wrong!
