I am by no means an expert on Britain's relationship with the EU, but upon Mr Cameron's announcement that on June 23rd, we'll have a referendum on the UK's membership, everyone from Jermaine Jenas to Boris Johnson are suddenly experts.
On a serious note, its become an interesting issue within the conservative party, with Michael Gove and, of course, Boris Johnson joining the leave campaign, whilst the rest of cabinet remains in the pro-EU camp, or at least Cameron hopes. It's also come to my attention that the pro-EU campaign is eloquently named Britain Stronger In Europe. Catchy, really rolls of the tounge that. The EU has been one of the most divisive issues within the UK ever since we first joined the EEC, remember that John Major bloke? At least within the conservatives there appears to be a deep and unrelenting split between the two sides.
At least something will be settled in this country soon, what with talk swirling of another Scottish independence referendum if they were to vote against what the wider country wants.
