It's not harsh Pete, you and I can disagree on things but you always conduct yourself well, Joey is just a lost cause.

We are all different, and we do argue, yet all on here are ‘good guys’........
But there is a veto. Makes more sense to assess this based on what is happening rather than on what could happen

Not poking fun, just don’t know much about this, pre EEC, was the commonwealth a trading block/single market? (Post colonialism)
Alls I know is what in real life affected my family my friends on a council estate we lost the cheap commonwealth food, and got clobbered with VAT as I described it became a general tax not a luxury tax on the rich!

What Joe excludes from his story is that the basic rate of income tax has also fallen considerably around the same time as VAT has risen. Granted, your tax expectations won't have fallen, but equally, they probably won't have risen much either.
It's also worth looking at the consumer prices index over time.

You'll see that yes, inflation was high in 1974, but unless I'm mistaken, the referendum to join the EEC was in 1975. Joe obviously omits to mention that for the past 30 years it has been not only very low, but also very consistent.
So that history isn't rewritten, it's perhaps also worth noting the #projectfear of Benn, Powell et al from the time.
the Common Market "sets out by stages to merge Britain with France, Germany, Italy and other countries into a single nation," in which Britain would be a "mere province".
40 years on and that vision is no nearer to reality.
That's not to say that the CAP isn't still something in need of reform, but it's clearly come on a long way from those early days of butter mountains. It's also worth pointing out that the National Farmers Union supported the remain side.
