Most British Companies back either renegotiating or leaving the EU:
"The British Chambers of Commerce said today its polling of 4,387 companies showed 18 percent say full withdrawal from the EU could have a positive impact, while 33 percent favor pulling out and renegotiating a free-trade deal. The biggest majority, 64 percent, back Prime Minister David Cameron’s approach of remaining inside the 28-nation union while repatriating some powers." Bloomberg Article
However, the EU funded BBC consistently presents the opinions of, largely foreign, companies that are utterly opposed to exit. Given that most of these companies take their profits and R&D abroad we might be well rid of them. Which foreign companies have attempted to influence UK politics?
Goldman Sachs American investment bank, mired in dirty dealings, heavily finances "Remain".
Siemens, the German Corporation tax avoider - needs EU to avoid paying tax.
Deutche Bank, a crooked German investment bank.
Airbus - massively funded by EU (billions) and its intervention is a direct EU intervention.
Unilever - regularly threatens to quit UK over tax etc.
Diageo - also regularly threatens to leave UK over tax etc.
Nissan Renault French Government run and owned.
Astrazeneca British-Swedish company needs EU for profit transfers.
The UK media should protect us from foreign interference in domestic politics, especially when, coming from corporates, it is entirely in the interests of the foreign companies. Furthermore, the EU Referendum should not be financed by foreign bodies.
British companies wanting OUT:
Legal and General
JCB
Rocco Forte
ByBox logistics
Others
Unilever say that Brexit would have no effect on jobs. Their CEO is against Brexit (probably because Unilever may be using EU for dodging tax).
John Walker, chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses, disputes the importance of EU membership: “Although the single European market gives [SMEs] access to 500m customers and £23m business, the burden of regulation falls disproportionality on the smallest firms.”
Digby Jones, ex CBI President Leaving the EU would not be the "unattractive option" that pro-Europeans claim, as the UK would be able to put free trade agreements in place with the rest of the bloc "the day after our exit".
