You might be wondering what leaving the EU has got to do with the United Nations but they don't mean the 193 member global organisation with a presence in almost every country in the world, the "top table" is apparently in Brussels with its mere 28 members.
The UK is an active member of the UN with one of the five permanent seats on the UN Security Council and the UN Trusteeship Council. We are founder members of NATO and the Commonwealth, members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Western European Union, International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, the G20 and G8 and many more.
Far from losing a seat at the "top table" when we leave the EU, we will regain our World Trade Organisation seat which we had to give up to allow the EU to conduct all our trade negotiations for us. In terms of trade, the WTO is the top table. In terms of diplomacy and international relations, the UN is the top table. The EU is a 28 member regional body accounting for just 17% of the global economy and a fifth of that is down to the UK.

Durng his TV appearence Lord Rose head pof BSE first called the organisation he heads “Stay in Britain”. He frowned. No, that couldn’t be right. “Better in Britain.” No, hang on, let me try that again. “Better in Britain.” Hold on, that was the one he’d said before, and it was still wrong. One more shot. “Better Stay in Britain!”
When asked to explain the £3,000 per head better off per family due to the EU Lor Rose replied
“What you’re effectively saying, is that the CBI is putting out propaganda which is untrue. AND FRANKLY, I FIND THAT QUITE CREDIBLE! What we’re trying to do, is give a general direction of travel. What it proves is that actually, THE BENEFITS OF BEING IN THE EU ARE OUTWEIGHED BY THE COSTS!”
Later he stated: “Globally,the world has got bigger. That’s mathematics.”
Labour MP Wes Streeting asked Lord Rose,whether leaving the EU would result in a rise in wages for low-skilled workers in the UK.He replied that
" If a British exit leads to restrictions on EU migrants, then “the price of labour will, frankly, go up”. “If you are short of labour the price will, frankly, go up. So yes. That’s not necessarily a good thing."
The “cost” of Britain remaining in the EU will be continued “one-way traffic” of EU migrants for up to a decade.
You really have to wonder exactly who its not a good thing for. The 35 Blue Chip letter signatories who on this evidence are embarking on Project UK Sweatshop and fear a Brexit will cut off the endless supply of dirt cheap easily exploitable labour thus forcing them to have to pay the rest of us a decent wage
