Why do you think Putin is warmongering? The legitimate Syrian government asked Russia for military help to fight the terrorist groups that are slowly but surely ripping the country apart, and he obliged. How is that warmongering?
The invasion and annexation of part of the Ukraine?
Then Boris wins and the dynamic duo run the West... Wouldn't that be something.
Trump as President, Boris as PM, EU without us, what could possibly go wrong (and I like Boris!)
It would liven up those political summits for sure....
A small part of me is coming around to wanting this to happen, but that's just the part that wants to see the world burn
That desire for WWW III and the zombie apocalypse that will follow it is great amongst the forum community.

Trump is like the right wing version of Corbyn, a rebal without a clue. Neither of them will ever get to run a major western power.
I am interested to see the tv debates in the in/out referendum and if we will see Dave and Boris go at it live, now that would be something.

It wasn't so long ago that people were saying he was highly unlikely to win a single GOP caucus or primary - now he's won three out of four! People are angry - they've had enough of the established elite telling them that globalisation is good for them when all they see is their jobs being exported and barbarity being imported.
I don't think Britain will win the referendum though - the British civil service has been around in one form or another for almost 900 years and knows a thing or two about how to keep control of the population. Since only the campaign to stay in the EU are allowed to use them victory for the EU is almost guaranteed, with George Osborne likely to be the new PM shortly afterwards.
Bad hair would be fashionable again.
Putin warmongering? Really... Nice to know the BBC can still effectively brainwash the masses.
Putin was invited/requested to assist in fighting ISIS... The entire Western ally base is and has been operating there without these things...
Lets not forget who has been really warmongering these last 10 years.. Its certainly not Putin
Won't matter if we leave we will still have to comply with EU regulations and laws. What will matter is we will no longer have a say in the creation or changing of regulations and laws.
At current we have freedom to travel, live and work across Europe but that will be harder if we leave the EU
We in the UK should reflect on whether our net contribution of £7bn out of total government expenditure of £695bn is good value;
57% of our trade comes from the EU
Cheaper air travel, Mobile phone charges
funded opportunities for young people to undertake study or work placements abroad; access to European health services
holiday entitlement
equal pay legislation
the right not to work more than a 48-hour week without overtime
strongest wildlife protection in the world
EU-funded research and industrial collaboration
EU representation in international forums
cross border policing to combat human trafficking, arms and drug smuggling; counter terrorism intelligence
European arrest warrant
investment across Europe contributing to better living standards and educational, social and cultural capital
the list goes on but those are some of the things we wouldn't have, without the EU.
So tell me again why people want to leave it
