[Homework]2016-04-02 英国250名商界领袖支持英国脱欧
In a referendum campaign where people are demanding more information, the opinion of business leaders matters, the owner of F restaurant and fish business is one of 250 people to sign a letter saying the UK would be better off leaving the EU. This eastern business was set up in 1905, its the oldest producer of smoked salmon in the world, Lance F thinks it would survive just fine outside the European Union.
We have faced enormous amount of bureaucracy as to all businesses, I'll give you a perfect example, last year we had to spend thousands of pounds producing new packaging just so that a pack of smoked salmon could have a warning sign on the back saying contains fish, I hate it it's just completely *.
Other signatories include the former HSBC chief executive Michael G, the founder of Phones4U John C, and the hotelier Sir Rocco Forte, all signing in a personal capacity, it comes after a third of Forbes 100 bosses publically supported stay in last month.
Both campaigns are desperate to get business leaders to reflect their arguments, now some say that the big firms tend towards in, and the smaller firms out, but of course just like the general public, business men and women are individuals with their individual point of view.
But do F's customers think that the opinion of business leaders will make a difference?
I think it would, because I'd think and understand what the rationale for going out, it seems like quite a big move away, so I think more people need to come out.
At my age, I'm 73, I'm not * anyone, I just can't make up my own mind, and as a former business person, I gonna show you that I want to stay in the EU.
It seems to me that so many of the business leaders they have vested interests, either one way or the other, and that's... so then probably I wouldn't listen to a lot of the business leaders, no, I probably wouldn't.
The letter is already under attack from the in campaign, they point out that it doesn't contain any current Forbes 100 bosses and has only 17 women.
It's true that women are under representative in the business sector, but just to have 5% on this list of women including several relatives of one of the signatories I think shows that the leave campaign is simply not representative compare to our supporters of letter last month, it had around 20% of women signatories.
In the end though, the votes of company bosses won't count any more than anyone else's, June's referendum is still too difficult to call.
