  1. We may just be dodging a bullet. We have had two good seasons out of Koeman, whose to say next season won't be the one that hits lots of managers too long in the job. If we are wise we can bring new impetus with a new manager and a recruitment of more players to suit added to an already decent team. Only Wanyama and Pelle look to be on the way out, whilst any body else leaving will be horrendously expensive. Liverpool paid over the odds only to finish eighth last year. Spending lots of money helps but is no magic formula unless it is the right players for the team. Everton now are going to find they are going to be paying £25m for £10m players added to a team that needed rebuilding, good luck with that. There is no guarantee either that Koeman can spend a lot of money in inflated fees and end up with a top team. He is a decent manager but the jury is still out. If he wants to go, fine, we will just move on and get on with having another decent season
  2. We export about 36% to the original 11 EEC members (the same as 1973) and about 10% to the remaining 16. The 500 million market is a myth, that's the trouble with generalisation. More like 450 million with the right of access to this country. I'd be really interested to know how much we export to the last 10 entrants and to the next five. I think the voters are getting the message, it's about immigration now.
  3. No I love the country, but not the prats that are messing it up. The liberal left of all persuasions have a lot to answer for and unfortunately are still causing damage,
  4. How many coal fired power stations have India and China got or have opened in the last year? Until they, plus the US and Russia get serious it's hardly worth the little UK ruining itself with little effect. A bit like borrowing more money to give away to be the only country to achieve 0.7% GDP. We must be just about the loopiest country in the world.
  5. That sanctimonious duplicitous Blair doing the rounds of TV putting more voters into the Leave camp.
  6. The EU military is a fact. A little known clause in either the Maastricht(which I think it is) or Lisbon treaties which we signed up to, puts military of EU countries who are co operating as we are doing at the moment, as the German's and Dutch are moving towards, under EU control. A German proposal that as they are prepared to form and support an EU army, they will take command. This drastically undermines Nato.
  7. Liverpool going for their fifth Saints player, now aiming for tenth place. If they want to be challenging for the PL and CL they are going to have to do a lot better than buy half decent players at overinflated prices and salaries. Lambert, Lallana, Lovren and Clyne just weren't top class and still aren't, neither is Mane however important he is to us.
  8. Out of respect for the man who saved our football club who tragically died before he had a chance to enjoy it. I won't be changing it.
  9. In 1973 we exported 36% to the 11 other EEC countries, last year we exported 36% to the same countries. By my reckoning that means only 10% to the remaining 16 countries. Exports to the EU are in decline year on year. Seems like a good time to get out.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. More immigration than the UK or a higher percentage of the Norwegian population? We have more immigrants working than the population of Norway.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Do ethnic minorities due to quota requirements receive redundancy protection or is it worst out/ last in first out?
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
