It is true when they try to report on other subjects too. Yesterday the MoS/DM had 3 articles that mentioned 20,000 police officers have "2nd jobs". It wasn't until you actually read the article that one officer's supposed "2nd job" was to become a vicar AFTER retiring from the police and another was a police staff worker (not an officer) who taught pole dancing in her spare time. Of these 20,000, the biggest single "2nd" job was buying and letting property. So given they cannot even get facts correct in silly articles like that, how do you suppose they have any chance with the complications of the EU?

I don't know ... figuring out that many of our so called 'journalists' are half wits doesn't seem to add much to the debate. Anyhoo ..

For me the real issue in that cut was the first couple of sentences. Cameron, or his successor, will only have three real options...

(a) In with both feet.
(b) Hang around getting invited to the party as a formality (but we drink alone in the corner and get told to shut up)
(c) Out via Article 50 - let the EZ go its own way and we negotiate a new 'relationship'


(a) There is no way that 'in with both feet' will pass in this country. Not now, not ever.
(b) 'Can kicking' - with the hope that the future will bring a new 'landscape'. Even the dumbest citizen will realise, after a year or two, that drinking alone in the corner was always a temporary solution.

We are left with (c)

If anyone wishes to correct me then (quote and correct (my wrong thinking)) ....
