He's offering a choice, not dictating that we pull out. If the 'business community' is serious about maintaining or increasing ties with Europe then they can campaign and convince the public why that should be. If they fail to go that then they've only themselves to blame.

Might this also be some kind of pre-emptive move to 'destable' the Scottish independence referendum? Haven't thought through in what way but just got a hunch that the line will be: "stick with the UK and you get a vote on EU membership, separate from the UK and you won't". Dunno.
Should make the general election in 2015 a little more interesting. What does Milliband do? Offer a referendum too or tell the electorate he doesn't trust them to decide the country's future in Europe? Smart manoeuvre by Cameron IMO.
@JFBLucas: Great to see we are already getting coverage out here in Spain - here's Mauricio in today's @diarioas... #saintsfc http://t.co/Yx28EC3Q
@JFBLucas: Here's another piece in the Spanish press - this one in @Diario_SPORT. #saintsfc http://t.co/cPrCjoUl
This one made me chuckle...
@TheSaints1213: Coutinho is 20. Ramirez is 22. Clyne is similar age. Shaw is 17. Investments in youth. Run by a dictator but a good one...
@piercy360: Liverpool scout player, Liverpool like player, Liverpool bid for player, Southampton sign player. Ramirez, Forren and now possibly Coutinho
I know we're not 'allowed' to refer back to our darker days on here but is anyone else pinching themselves when seeing articles about little old Saints competing with the likes of Liverpool in the transfer market given where we were a mere 4 years ago?
Someone wake me up when we reach the Champions' League...
@JFBLucas: All settled in Barca. Just heard our plans for tomorrow and I cannot wait. We'll have plenty of content to give you so stay tuned! #saintsfc
If no new signings, and Lallana is fit, I'd go with this....
Boruc
Clyne - Yoshida - Forren - Shaw
Cork - Schneiderlin
Puncheon - Ramirez - Lallana
Lambert
Subs: K Davis, Fox, Hooiveld, JWP, Chaplow, Rodriguez, Guly, Reeves
