France's finance minister has said his country could end UK border controls in Calais and allow migrants to cross the Channel unchecked if the UK democratically votes to leave the EU.

Er what? The agreement we have with France is nothing to
do with the EU, it’s an agreement between two countries and has absolutely
nothing to do with membership (of either side) of the EU.
So is he really saying that if the UK democratically votes to Leave, he will tear up a completely separate international agreement, out of spite one would assume, as the UK will no longer be funding his French farmers through the CAP (idem).
Then Emmanuel Macron also told the Financial Times his country could also limit access to the single market. Ok, go ahead. We can happily buy Australian or Californian wine. We can happily ditch buying Peugeots, Citroens, (and BMWs, Audis, VWs, Opels/ Vauxhalls et al). I really wouldn’t like to be standing with him on an election platform telling the people who have worked their lives in these great car companies in France that they will be losing their jobs because he, 39 year old Monsieur Marcon, thinks there should be a limit on access.
If you really are looking for something to sway you to Vote Leave, it is words like his. All he says is all you need to know about why this EU club, so restrictive to us in so many ways, so out of touch with the real world we want to live in.
The EU really is not the place we should be for a prosperous future. The world should be our stage. Not a restrictive and declining market that the EU has become. We are not voting to Leave the EU, rather we are actually voting to claim our place in a much bigger, safer and more prosperous world stage.
