  1. For me it's about who is accountable, who makes the laws, who commands the military, who controls our borders. Work permits needed for all intending to come here to work. I'm fed up to the back teeth with the lying mealy mouthed politicians and any hangers on they can recruit trying to frighten me. I back Britain not the EU. I have no wish to be a citizen of the EU. This country is no country at all inside the EU. All decisions relating to this country should made here and be final and binding.
  2. The voters thought it was a mess. The Liberals losing most of their MPs and the Conservatives voted into power with a lying liberal Prime Minister who apart from the referendum is reneging on their manifesto.
  3. I think there is another fund which we have to contribute to which encompasses the whole EU. This I believe was the situation in the Greek crisis. The seventeen Eurozone countries have the ESM with 80b euros. ESM cover new loans the EFSF and EFSM of which we are members continue to contribute to already agreed loans to Greece, Portugal and Ireland.
  4. We had a referendum and the majority wanted the first past the post. It mostly means no coalitions, thank goodness. The last one was a mess.
  5. There might be a percentage that are looking at the academic arguments and spurious predictions of both sides and may or may not vote, but in my view the bulk of the leave voters just don't like the EU and it's effect on this country and want out. It doesn't matter what either side put out because the leave voters aren't listening and are going to vote leave whatever the remain campaign say.
  6. More immigration than the UK or a higher percentage of the Norwegian population? We have more immigrants working than the population of Norway.
  7. Osborne caught bending the truth again. The Treasury has clarified that the 10% to 18% fall in the value of property is no such thing, it's the decrease in the increase in house prices over that period, an entirely different thing but won't scare anybody. Not long until the plague of locusts Cameron joked about. They have become so arrogant and transparent, next the Britain better in the EU statements from politicians attending the talks in Japan, they really are a joke. When this is all over there will be a day of reckoning. The government unable to pass bills, a vote of confidence and a leadership challenge for Cameron whatever the result.
  8. The leave campaign are absolutely accurate, the annual £18+billion we send to Brussels is approx. £350m per week. After recycling we get benefits doled out by the EU of approx. half. The point being made is that if we aren't sending the money in the first place then the whole amount is available to be spent in the UK. As for EU demands, if we accept and reciprocate any punitive tariffs and refuse to accept EU rules and free movement, eventually the EU will trade, as the Germans and French will suffer greatly as their already expensive quality exports will not be wanted in the UK and that won't suit them at all. We won't come out of this unscathed initially but it will make us branch out and trade with the rest of the world. The EU will eventually collapse and it will be better to be independent when that chaotic event occurs.
  9. Historically Boris Johnson was correct. The ordinary German soldier felt he was defending a United Europe which was the official line to them from the German government and Hitler at the time. The EU is essentially in a position where nothing happens without German approval and whatever the Germans want they get.
  10. The point being missed is that it's not about being swayed by one argument or another most voters have already made up their minds. The only thing that can happen with the government spouting outlandish garbage and insulting the voters intelligence is that they will turn uncommitted voters against them and very likely turn off people that might have voted their way. It's not the fact that 'experts' (I hate that word as there is no such thing) are being brought out to spout the government line, it's their incestuous connection with Osborne and Cameron. The US president, assorted Prime Ministers, Lagarde, indicted by the French for negligence a friend of Osborne. The IMF bringing forward it's statement to be before the referendum. The EU postponing it's budget until after the referendum. The EU sitting on new regulations until after the referendum. This sort of thing after years of lying governments of all persuasions has meant that the population has had it with politicians and could be the last straw.
  11. They aren't the interfering foreign politicians recruited by Cameron and Osbourne to try and frighten the voters. It was the Labour party and Gordon Brown that can hold their hands up to that one after ten years in power. As I said who cares what they think. All Cameron is doing with his scare tactics is providing more leave voters who detest his attitude.
  12. What I find amazing, that the very people that didn't see the collapse of the banks and the recession coming, and forecast consequences if we didn't join the Euro, are now the experts. They are wasting their time, the leave vote is years in the making, it's not about arguments any more, leave voters can't wait to get that cross on the voting slip. Cameron and Osbourne etc can trot out as many cronies as they want, it won't work.
  13. It's not about the money. We give away 0.7% of GDP to all and sundry, a lot of it to corrupt regimes down the pan and about 0.5% of the GDP to the EU. It's about immigration and the effect on the NHS, schools, housing, benefits etc. It's about who runs the country. A country that can't stop immigration, set it's own laws and is subservient to the EU and it's offshoots can't call itself a country. That's why I and many others have already decided to vote out and hopefully get shot of the EU and join the rest the world.
  14. Do ethnic minorities due to quota requirements receive redundancy protection or is it worst out/ last in first out?
  15. Not according to the ONS. 94% of businesses don't deal with the EU but have to comply with it's red tape. Only 6% of businesses trade with the EU. EU imports were nearly 10% higher than exports to the EU last month with a record deficit of £8.1billion.
  16. Interestingly, it's not about a debate it's about if and where people decide to put their X on June 23rd. It seems to me that everybody that is for leave will vote. It also appears that the remain vote is nowhere near as dedicated and that many youngsters that the remain camp are relying on won't even bother. This morning on the BBC, a panel of young intellects debated, decided they were undecided, anyway probably wouldn't bother voting and felt that was also their peer group majority attitude. Uncontrolled immigration with it's attendant pressures on the NHS, Education, wages etc has already won a lot of votes to leave. It's the one issue the remain campaign don't want mentioned. It's going to be the big issue from the leave camp and a vote winner. A huge proportion of EU immigrants wouldn't even qualify for an entry visa if they weren't EU citizens.
  17. Only because Obama etc brought it up plus the remain group trying to rewrite history regarding Churchill. Yesterday three ex bomber crew were very angry and said the EU isn't what they had risked their lives for to allow the Germans to now run this country through the EU.
  18. The economic and political scaremongering will be ineffective in the long run because limiting immigration, proper border controls and regulations is the decisive issue. The ability of this country to govern itself without being dictated to by the EU. Last month a record £8.1 billion deficit with EU. We are exporting less and less to the EU and importing more and more. They won't want our trade if we leave.
  19. It has come out today that Merkel was effectively given the power of veto on what was put forward. The Germans run the EU, it's no good trying to deny it and our cowardly politicians defer in everything to them. Nothing can be done in the EU without the German approval. This is not what those who gave their lives in WW2 were dying for despite the ridiculous claims of Obama etc. Time to vote to leave the German charade called the EU.
  20. Like all manufactured alliances it will eventually collapse. It's not a matter of if but when. The EU is unsustainable with everything geared to German finances. If we pull out either Germany will have to shovel in more handouts to the hangers on or they will pull out.
  21. In 1944 a German Army journalist interviewed military personnel manning the Normandy defences. In 1954 he re interviewed survivors. This year his grandson published the verbatim questions and answers from both years in two books translated from German. At the end he made several comments on the content of the interviews. One of the questions asked was " who or what do you think you are defending?" Almost all responded they were defending "a United Europe". It is small wonder we are racing down the road of a German dominated EU with a military commanded and run by the Germans. The concept of the United Europe under German control has been bit by bit moved forward with the connivance of cowardly politicians. As far as I am concerned it is time to bail out and stay in Nato militarily and let the Germans go their own way. As for the US comments and third Party PM's comments, favours for the second worst and most devious PM we have had in my lifetime. The more this unwinds the more the word conspiracy comes to mind.
  22. The latest scare stories are bizarre. I cannot believe that anybody but a fool would spout such trash. I can't help thinking he really wants out with his behaviour.
  23. Anybody coming up with Chambers as the answer is asking the wrong question. As a natural progression we need to improve the first team at right back, a partner for Virgil, A replacement for Wanyama if he goes and and a box to box combative midfielder with an eye for goal, plus if needed a replacement for Pelle. If Mane goes likewise. Martina is adequate and a better defender than Soares who is more pleasing to the eye but poor at his real job which is defending. Of the two I prefer Martina but we need another right back in ability similar to Bertrand.
  24. So if the US and the EU agree the TTIP the NHS will have to be opened up for competitive bidding from US health companies. So the NHS will be privatised and asset stripped. That's clever Dave and George. The Germans have tabled a proposal for a EU army with the German military in command. Their last experience ended in defeat I seem to remember. The only really experienced military in the EU 'at the moment' is the British if a tad under equipped. How's the immigration issue going? I'm not sure that people are buying the shots in the dark on the economic front. I think the main issue, to paraphrase Bill Clinton, " it's immigration stupid" I don't think the politicians have grasped that. Due to get a lot worse before mid summer.
  25. During the press conference today a journalist made the statement if MU win the cup and Liverpool win the EL eight teams will qualify. RK agreed with him and said he wanted Liverpool to win. I find it strange that he wouldn't know the rules as he has been banging on about Europe all season.
