Current Affairs EU In or Out

[degsy]

If this was to decide what milk to put in your tea then I'd agree, but this decision will have repercussions across the whole continent. I'm not sure enough people are really grasping that. I've seen some saying today, for instance, that a collapse of the EU would be a good thing, as though all of the things that would go into such a collapse are positive. It's like we've completely forgotten the last 1,000 years of European history.

The 1000 yrs of History were we've been fighting Danes, the Norman French, the French French, The Spanish, Dutch and the French in various guises, the Russians, latterly the Germans...fighting is not good, jaw, jaw rather than war, war. etc. but one size does not fit all.
Just as the Americans can't understand why everybody would not want to be in and or of America, some cannot grasp that many do not want to be 'European' they want to be just what they are, be it Lancastrian, Kurdish whatever.

Then I hear the EU has 'kept the peace for 70yrs', where what happened was the US have been camped in (W) Germany since 1945 really keeping the peace.

The whole thing (treaty of Rome) was formed to foster Trade and hence good relations
That's what I voted for in the 70's
Not this dogs breakfast German led, lefty, greeny, bureaucratic, monolithic, open borders, [Insert don't upset ethnic / religious group here] 'k up

good job I haven't got a vote this time round...or is it?

I suppose the only plus point at the end of all this, considering how bad some of the 'blue on blue' has been, the Tories are going to be in tatters.
We just need a strong opposition to finish them off now, hmmmmm........................................................

Yes with our money!

It would never have got there if it was solely up to the govt. They proper hate Liverpool.

Should never have had a referendum in the first place, this vote has caused a lot of bad blood between the population, and whether the result is in, or out,that bad blood isn't going to go away anytime soon.

There was one to go in so why not

Says it all about that laughable character Boris. He's a deeply unpleasant man at best, a very clinical, dangerous man at worst.

It might sound dramatic, but the referendum has split a nation for the worse.

So be it. At least we will see their true colours and have the chance to get rid. I don't believe that accepting a milder form of a system I dislike should be seen as any sort of a good thing.

May as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb...............

Why do communists drink herbal tea?

Because proper tea is theft.

I feel if we leave then as@The Cowboy said, the EU will return to the table to discuss terms to prevent the UK leaving. Or, if we stay I believe we will see a range of items brought to the table very quickly by the EU. (Immigration levels, Turkey joining the EU etc).
