Some will predictably dismiss the site as remoaniner propaganda but whatever your standpoint the stark comparison between 653 downsides and just 21 'upsides' cannot be ignored.

That link makes for a very interesting read. So much stuff in there that the ordinary Briton has no idea about.
This is the most pertinent paragraph in the article referred to in the above post.
