The EU is failing and we should vote to leave
The EU is a rapidly failing experiment: a wonderful trade concept hijacked by overbearing bureaucrats with unworkable ideals and an astounding arrogance. Another summer of uncontrolled migration, terrorism, violence and heightened tensions could be the breaking point. Get out and stay out. The EU needs us more than we need them.

Want better high street? Don’t discount online
GROUP
Story: Agency ‘digitisation’ prompts high street revival What would be better for the high street is if the companies that want agent support, stopped discounting online – Monarch, Balkans, Olympic and Jet2holidays, to name a few. It’s hardly rocket science. SUPPORT HIGH STREET AGENTS Travel Weekly would welcome responses from the companies cited
conference kittie @conferencekitti Is it obligatory that families going #skiing must have children named Matilda or Oscar?

travelweekly.co.uk 19 Thanks, Caribtours, for exceptional service
I would like to extend a big thank you to Fiona at Caribtours. I have just confirmed a very big booking, which had numerous complications. Throughout the process, Fiona was very supportive, and nothing was too much effort for her. Their holidays may not have been the cheapest, but you cannot put a price on happy clients, and I for one will continue to use Caribtours on the basis of the quite exceptional service they offer.

I’m with Branson: say no to Brexit
Story: Richard Branson issues warning over ‘Brexit’ I agree with Branson. On balance, the UK’s future is best placed within the union. Yes, there are negatives, but David Cameron’s changes are the beginnings to address them. Trade, security and immigration are the keys, and the politics, regulations and the like need to be watered down considerably. Some parallels can be drawn with the 50 US states.
They are a group that manage their own affairs with laws and precedents that differ significantly, but they remain as a bloc relative to trade and security, with a central point. For the UK, obviously other issues remain, such as the euro, subsidies, foreign policy and a bloated bureaucracy. Rather than judge the need for changes to be negatives, the major EU countries should view them as challenges to continuously improve efficiencies. Most European policies should be ‘buy-ins, not impositions’. GLENN PICKARD
