Six30 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Far from it - that's the clinching argument for leaving in my view: half a dozen fewer lorries on the 4-hour trip from Brussels to Strasbourg once a month. That'll come as a great consolation... i see what you done there No comment on the waste of money though ?It's disgraceful. I don't like politicians and civil servants wasting my money; where they come from - the UK or the rest of the EU - is a much lesser consideration. I've been clear all along that there are things I don't like about the EU, and having to work with 27 other Member States, the Commission and EFSA on an almost daily basis isn't exactly a little slice of heaven, but "bureaucrats waste money" is hardly the coup de grace.

Guest Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Doing well then lets see what happens if we do pull out of the EU and the US decide we dont want to trade with the UK as Obama said so That isnt what he said... as this country would become a fairly minor player the US wouldnt see us as a priority for a trade deal.. one would happen, but it could take anywhere between 5 and 10 years to be drawn up.. negotiated upon and finalised with signatures and a hand shake.The US is in the middle of a new trade deal with the EU.. so why should they see us as a priority. At the end of a three-day visit during which he celebrated the Queen’s 90th birthday with a lunch at Windsor Castle, Obama said it was wrong for Brexit campaigners to suggest it would be straightforward to agree a new trade relationship if Britain left the EU.“It could be five years from now, 10 years from now before we’re actually able to get something done,” he told the BBC, adding that the first priority for the US would be to complete ongoing talks on a trade deal with the EU.

Tango Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Copied from a Facebook post by a 91 year old D-Day veteran..... :I am a very angry old man. Angry because of the lies peddled by influential Brexit campaigners, reproduced in right-wing newspapers which one-sidedly fail to report the wealth of sound economic, social and political advice that Britain should remain in the EU. Angry because of the lack of passion and drive shown in “remain” campaigning by the leadership of the Labour Party, a party which I have supported for years because of its commitment to international peace and solidarity. Angry because of the appeal Brexit makes to the racist, anti-foreigner “little England” mentality which is still part of the national psyche.Angry because, at the age of 91, as someone who 72 years ago this month landed in Normandy with the liberation forces, I remember vividly the old Europe of warring factions and am convinced that the EU, for all its need of reform, remains a power for good in the world. For Britain to leave it would open the door to European disintegration and a return to the dangerous nationalisms of the past.I hope many of my Facebook friends share my anger and will vote accordingly next week.

Headquartered in Brussels, staffed by bureaucrats, and demands we contribute two percent of our GDP. The UK does, but most other members take the piss and contribute far less.TAKE BACK CONTROL! We need a NATO Brexit! Let's call it NEXIT... Oh hang on, the Dutch have already coined that one... Umm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nato. has helped prevent a hot war between the Soviets and the west... but was ineffective in preventing slaughter in Europe during the early 90s.obviously the Balkan war is forgettable... the victims were mainly muslim and who cares about them.

rennie Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 after recent events(Jo Cox)and even our esteemed politicians declaringa temporary truce I feel we should do the same.I'm not going to dictate though, the thread is still open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Why has her death got anything to do with this thread. She was killed by a nutter. But anyway various political people have already spoken out and tried to link the debate to her death so its a bit late anyway. Labour remain MP Neil Coyle has spoken out linking the exit people to the extremist hard right, Angele merkel has blamed the exaggerations of the debate on her death, and European commissioner ( some nobody from the EU) Dimitris Averamopolous said she was murdered for her dedication to European democracy and humanity. Given we don't know why she was killed yet then this is pathetic to link her views to her dreath. But thats the level they have sunk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
