Brexit: More from the Ministry of Fear

AND still it comes from the Department of Fear, also known as the Remain campaign in Britain’s EU referendum. A so-called study by Travelzoo and Bournemouth University has found that:

A British exit from the European Union could cost the UK’s tourism industry up to £4.1 billion a year in international tourist spending

Many people in Europe would be “less likely” to visit Britain if it was outside the EU

Sentiment among the four largest EU nations – France, Germany, Italy, and Spain – is that the UK should stay in the EU, with just under 70% in the Remain camp

Firstly, note the word could.

Secondly, that people in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain want the UK to stay in the EU is in no way surprising: Britain is the second-largest net contributor to the EU’s vast budget. Since when have turkeys welcomed an early Christmas?

Thirdly, the survey also found that respondents from some nations – notably France – believe that leaving the EU could make Britain a safer destination for holidays … in which case, why would our neighbours across the Channel be “less likely” to visit Britain?
