Current Affairs EU In or Out

[peteblue]

Yes you can. I've accepted every democratic decision regardless of how I felt about it, it's the whole point of the system

Indeed.....and they day that people cease to accept the democratic decision is the day that we are finished.....

 

[peteblue]

I know, I am being slightly tongue in cheek.

Don't worry, we know......

We pay too much have no control, and when we vote to leave we will get bullied till we become an independent country that can trade worldwide without tariffs!
Also the democratic vote of the people is being ignored by some of the westminster bumble and the Scottish!

90% of the time we get our way and have major veto power.

 

[Thomasc]

Do you think we should join the Euro then.....

Nope, we were OK and doing better and recovering from the financial crisis of 2008.

We are potentially heading back up poop creek.

[Poor language removed] the Scottish anyway, they don't deserve to have a voice in things!!!1

It's not like England's been deciding what to do with Scotland for about since forever anyway, like.

you cannot negotiate untill we sign article 50 so the EU will not give anything away - when May says the same our MPS vilify her if your playing poker for big pots of money do you show your hand first 3 months in advance NO !

I don't recall you feeling quite the same way about TTIP negotiations Joe.

I'm not asking you anything, I'm just clearing up some of the half-truths that you're spouting.

Fairly sure (99.99999999999999999%) there was no question by @Pienaar's gloves there.

E: ah, too late.

And italy gets it's own way 94%
France 98.8%
Germany 99.4%
EU commissioners were unbeaten until we said 'no'.

See where I'm going with this?

And how much have you taken out? Or when looking at that - is it only the "WE GIVE X" matter, and the "BUT WE ALSO RECEIVE X+1" is irrelevant?

The Irish government are worried that people smugglers would shift to using Ireland as a means of entry into the UK.

Then they should protect their borders from people smugglers or they should grant the folk asylum in Eire.
