    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."
