Brexit won't cause recession, Michael Gove says, as David Cameron warns there will be 'no turning back' , Telegraph and MSN



 

 
Britain will thrive outside the European Union, Michael Gove declares, as he rejects warnings that Brexit will cause a recession and urges the country to “vote for hope”.
In a passionate appeal to the public to set the country free from Brussels rule, the Vote Leave leader predicts the economy will prosper from a decision to pull out of the EU in this week’s historic referendum.

Mr Gove says voters should have confidence in Britain’s capacity to achieve “great things” as an independent country that is wholly run by MPs who are democratically elected by the British people.

In an interview with The Telegraph, he says the UK will be better placed to cope with the strains of global economic disruption if the country takes back full control over its own affairs.

China use's it's Fisherman to expand it's terrorital claims to the South China Sea



 Captained Chen Yu Guo, 50, watches his fisherman refit his boat from the bridge in front of a poster of Mao Zedong before heading back out to fishing grounds near the Spratly Islands, at the harbour in Tanmen, Hainan Island, China on April 7, 2016.


 TANMEN, China — In the disputed waters of the South China Sea, fishermen are the wild card.

China is using its vast fishing fleet as the advance guard to press its expansive territorial claims in the South China Sea, experts say. That is not only putting Beijing on a collision course with its Asian neighbors, but also introducing a degree of unpredictability that raises the risks of periodic crises.

In the past few weeks, tensions have flared with Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam as Chinese fishermen, often backed up by coast guard vessels, have ventured far from their homeland and close to other nations’ coasts. They are just the latest conflicts in China’s long-running battle to expand its fishing grounds and simultaneously exert its maritime dominance.
