This whole referendum has felt distinctly un-British in all honesty. I remember when how you voted was your own business and wasn't really talked about.

There also seems to be much less tolerance of other peoples' views these days. Lots of shouty, angry people who can't accept that not everyone agrees with their particular train of thought and who end up throwing their toys out of the pram.

Look at the assaults on Leave and Remain campaigners over the past few days. Pathetic. I hope we all take a good look at ourselves a bit further down the line and see how shameful this new low in politics has become.
 
Corbyn has just said that one thing we can work together on in the EU is pollution and the environment.

He said we here in the UK create pollution, and it can easily go to Europe, Europe also creates pollution, and that pollution can easily come to the UK, Pollution has no national boundaries, by working together with the EU we can control it.

I thought he was taking the **** because I started thinking he was talking about migration :)

Leavers aren't that bright on the whole are they....from that twitter link

@Fredderov @AFP @JunckerEU Big difference is, most Brits don't want to be in the EU. Even if we vote remain this won't change

I think the very definition if the vote is Remain is that the majority do want to be in the EU :D
 
As someone who is part Italian, who has family and property there and who's native tongue is Italian, I would like to know what you guys think caused Italy to go into this sorry state. I have a good idea and in my opinion little of it is actually the EU's fault. Most Italians i speak to share a similar opinion, i cant really fathom why the EU is getting the blame in the UK.

Italy can't compete with Germany, simple as.

It does, and although not reported on as much, it's still going on and not getting any better for them.

Spain is growing faster than the UK and has done for the last 18 months, Portugal has add positive GDP growth for the last two years, Italy for the last year, but Greece is still struggling although it's dept-to-GDP has stabilised and even fallen a little. Youth unemployment has fallen in all four (although it's still unacceptably high). Meanwhile, the ECB has finally started taking measures such as Quantitative Easing to start to bring recovery to the Eurozone.

So, yeah, the situation isn't great, but it is beginning to get better across all four of the PIGS nations and Ireland, which was being talked about in the same breath, has hit a 9% (!) annual GDP growth figure in the last quarter.

They cant compete due to internal issues though, not because of the EU.

that why germany exports a rather lot of coal to eastern europe ?

They dont need much anymore since they went quite green after huge investments in their steel industry. IT allowed them to reduce energy costs and move on from outdated and expensive steel refinement. A certain UK steel company didnt make any effort to change its production method even when energy tariffs were introduced to discourage inefficient production, so their already very poor margins became poorer and simply bled money while chinese steel was bought up Because French and German steel remained cheaper to produce, so they were resistant to the impact of much cheaper steel available from the east.

VOTE LEAVE!


David Cameron said earlier that he would lobby for further changes to free movement rules in the light of European Court rulings if the UK votes to remain tomorrow, saying the process of EU reform will "continue on Friday".

But at a press conference today, EU Commission President Jean Claude Juncker said:

'British voters have to know there will be no kind of negotiation. We have concluded a deal with the prime minister. He got the maximum he could receive, and we gave the maximum we could give, so there will be no kind of renegotiation'

If it makes some of the others on the forum feel better though, i do drink tea and sometimes i even pretend to care about football enough to argue with strangers at the pub about it.
 
I was chatting about this yesteryear to rep who's company is based in Germany, He is still unsure, but one thing he did say was quite good.

If we were not in the EU would you vote to join !!

Can't compete with hardly anyone. Wasn't it the appliance manufacturing capital of the world at one point?

Throw in loads of corruption and a currency they can't devalue..

The corruption is terrible. You cant believe how open people are with it and there is nowt anyone can do.

There is an insane amount of red tape for small and medium businesses that have nothing to do with the EU.

The combination of Italy being dominated by small and medium businesses, red tape due to Italian legislation and corruption has heavily stunted Italy's economy for years. If they were out of the EU, they would face all of the same problems that put them in such a sorry state.
