Basically the crux of the Brexit argument seems to be that Britain is f**ked and it's all Johnny Foreigner's fault.

 

ERR no.

We are not f**ked. In fact we are the 5th strongest economy in the world. Yes we have issues with the NHS and our pension crisis amongst other things. But then which country doesn't have issues. I feel that we will be better off out of the EU. Why do you want to be tied to a club which includes broken countries like Greece. If we leave then I expect a short time of change and possible hardship. But in the long run I expect us to come out stronger. I fully expect the EU to implode on its self in a few years anyway and various "experts" have expressed concerns. I just hope when it happens we will be looking in from the outside and not caught up in the shitstorm.

My view is, I may be getting done up the arse now, but at least I know I'm getting lube. If we leave it could be not being done up the arse but it equally could be going in dry.

Now be honest, you lifted that word for word from Jeremy Paxman's referendum documentary, didn't you?

Let's have a banter!

If you don’t understand what all the fuss is about. Here is the EU put simply.

A son goes to his Dad having saved up some money from his weekend job.

Son “ Dad I’ve saved up £350 pounds to buy the new laptop I need for my college course”

Dad “Well done son, give the money to me and I’ll help you”

Son “Ok now what?”

Dad “I will allow you £185 pounds back less my handling fee of £5 so £180 which you may only spend on a new phone”

Son “But I need a laptop!”

Dad “No, we’ve decided you can only buy a phone and you may only buy a phone from Germany and it must be pink. You must also source the phone within 2 days otherwise I will not release the money”

Son “But it’s my money!”

Dad “I’m afraid you are a member of this family and you must contribute to everyone else’s needs. I will decide how the money is spent”

Son “So what happens to the £165?”

Dad “Well your sister needs a new dress”

Son “She has already had many new dresses”

Dad “We’ve put it to the vote and I’m afraid you’re outvoted”

Son “But I need a laptop to continue my course!”

Dad “My decision is final”

Son “But that’s not fair, will I ever have a say in how my money is spent”

Dad “No, and by the way we’ve got a couple more people moving into your room and you’ll have to pay for their keep”

Son “Well I’m leaving then”

Dad “Don’t be like that lad, we need your money. And if you leave you won’t be able to buy a pink phone from Germany you’ll have to buy one here instead”

Son “I NEED A LAPTOP!”

I'm sceptical of your claims that this nation came into this world because Germany uses the withdrawal method on France.

I don't think it makes much of a muchness personally. For the opinion poll I'll vote out, mainly as I've not been given any concrete info of either side other than fear tactics/propaganda, I'm willing to take a gamble.

We won't stop trading because we left the "treehouse club".

We don't really get dictated to, we choose to accept guidance and enshrine it as our own law/regs.

If you look at it, it's not very often (not as often as made out at least) the ECHR overrules us and I don't think it's a bad idea to have an extra pair of eyes making sure things are done right.

The conservatives... Hmmm... Now I voted for them. However since then I've seen them demolish (services) my local hospital, (in preparation for selling off-I presume) remove the Highways Agency from crown responsibility and turn it into a government owned company which allowed a known asset stripper take over the majority of its tendered contracts- just happened to 'strip' the guy who taught me my trade and is the nicest and hardest working man you will ever meet, more years continual service in this country than I've been alive.

No loyalty to this country or any other. But I do think closer to the equator wouldn't be a bad idea...

I'm still waiting for this damn global warming to increase the temperature! Might go outside and burn a plastic bag, do my bit etc.

If we were as inundated with Eastern Europeans as people keep saying I would have been able to find someone to decorate my house rather than having to do it myself, and wouldn't now be sitting here wondering how I've managed to get gloss paint on my cock.

I know the tin says to stir the paint with a bit of wood before you apply it but I think you may have misunderstood the instructions.

This guy usually talks sense so this might be worth a read

I'm always misunderstanding these things... my mind goes back to the painful Dyson ball vac fiasco, not to mention the incident with the wife's ultrasonic ring cleaner...

Argh.. Yes the ultrasonic ring cleaner , there are 345 laws for that in a filing cabinet in a EU building somewhere .

Don't forget that leaving the EU will put a stop to terrorism! Apparently Britain will become invisible on all maps and the extremists won't know where you all are.

I expect you'll get better weather too! No doubt the EU is sending all the shit weather your way while retaining the good weather themselves! And you're paying for it!

And who can argue with this.....

I'm an entomologist, and one of my friends is a tabloid journalist. One night in the pub I mentioned in passing that we'd found some false widow spiders in my brothers shed, and that the species had been resident in the UK for well over 100 years. A couple of days later there was a massively overblown headline in his paper about deadly black-widow relatives invading the UK.

I am SHOCKED that UK journalists do not fact check their articles. I blame the EU.
