Four polls put UK on course to leave EU; The Sun backs Brexit

London
BRITAIN appeared to be on course to leave the European Union (EU), with four polls from three companies putting the "Leave" campaign ahead of "Remain". Monday saw a day of intense volatility on the currency markets, as the pound swung between losses of one per cent and gains of 0.5 per cent. Then in the evening came a series of polls putting "Leave" ahead. In the day's final blow to "Remain", The Sun, Britain's biggest-selling newspaper, backed a so-called Brexit on its front page.
"Outside the EU we can become richer, safer and free at long last to forge our own destiny - as America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many other great democracies already do," the newspaper said. "If we stay, Britain will be engulfed in a few short years by this relentlessly expanding German dominated federal state."
