Brief edited extract from the Telegraph website article by Mr. Hannan on the link in the first posting to this thread "Cleggie has suddenly made it respectable to debate the merits of withdrawal from the EU. For years, Euro-enthusiasts have sought to avoid a detailed discussion of the subject. For a long time, the secessionist case was presented by newspapers and, more especially, the BBC, as a fringe position not even worth considering. But now that the BBC’s party of choice is demanding a national debate on the subject, it will be far harder to avoid one."
