DAVID CAMERON makes some gloomy predictions about the future of York should we vote to leave the EU (“Cameron sets out case for remaining in EU”, The Press, June 9).
Predictably, he starts by sowing the seed of doubt in our minds about trade and investment when nobody really knows how, post EU, the world will respond to a more dynamic and free market UK.
He then worries EU tourists will be put off visiting York by some new mythical visa requirements.
There might be a few changes but it is unlikely that our Spanish or French counterparts will want anything to get in the way of UK tourists visiting their destinations.
Finally, he suggests research funding to our universities will be at risk.
He forgets that universities only get the recycled money we have given to the EU in the first place (less the appalling cost of EU bureaucracy associated with managing this money).
