Current Affairs EU In or Out

[peteblue]

Why not make it hyper local? Why not say that Liverpudlians should make our own decision? As is regularly shown, they didn’t vote for this current government

Because it would be unworkable. Why not do it by postcode, or streets, or different floors in a block of flats. Huyton could have a different foreign policy to that of Walton, can’t see any problems with that.... oh no wait.....

I wish for British people to make our own decisions on our life and future....

Name one EU rule or law that the UK adopted, that our elected representatives voted against.

Just look at the list. Foot and Kinnock, idiots, John Smith would have been a great PM but tragically died, Blair was a Tory, Brown was a deadly fool, Miliband was a joke, Corbyn (see Foot) and now they have an empty vessel who is more Tory than Boris....Pick the right leader and develop policies that don’t bankrupt the nation nor return it to the union dominated years.....

Oh good lord.

Kinnock wasnt an idiot
Blair wasnt a Tory
Brown wasnt a fool.

The irony that the EU lob £70m a year at Cornwall, mainly to preserve their fishing industry, is kinda lost on them.

Of course, Johnson will maintain that....

See also the near total redevelopment of Liverpool city centre and the Docks at a cool £1bn of Objective 1 money. Sure that would have happened without the EU

Privatising the seas: how the UK turned fishing rights into a commodity

The decline of British fishing drove coastal support for leaving the EU, but many of the industry’s problems have an origin closer to home

Seems to sum things up. At least now we've left the EU we won't have them as scapegoats or something.
