UK and the EU: In or out?

<t>Unintended consequences. There's this nasty - difficult to invert - thing: Erosion. Maybe "England, England", J Barnes, becomes reality - England rebuilt as "theme park" at the Isle of Wight?Edit: but there's entertainment: the UK can watch the EU falling apart while. say, Scotland tries to get i...
