There's not really a need to "redevelop areas". The ebb and flow of the market should do that automatically.

No they wouldn't.

Sometimes governments have to intervene in markets.

Oh and I thought the entire point of the EU project is to stop people in certain European countries starting a war with other European countries.

BRITAIN’S membership of the European Union is costing every household in the country an average of £750 a year, new research reveals

Yes, interesting. Unfortunately The story doesn't tell me;
- who did this research?
- what methods did they use?

- do they mean an average per household or per year?

And exactly where are examples of this that have worked?

And whilst there have been no wars there will be an increase in public unrest around the regions that may leave a vacuum for another Hitler to emerge.
