[[TW]Fox]

None that the US government let in(unlike the EU). Your really failing a lot these days.

Oh well that's ok then - there must be none.

See the edited post. Or read the thread..oh and use the multi+ icon.

How about you post properly in the first place so we don't need to go back over whatever you've said in-case you've corrected it after being called out?

THE French language just makes threats sound alluring or delicious, it has been confirmed.

As French President Francois Hollande warned a British exit from the EU would have terrifying consequences, Brexit supporters said he sounded quite sexy and not at all frightening.

Eurosceptic, Martin Bishop, said: “Either he was actively trying to seduce me or he was reeling off some kind of delicious recipe.

“Either way, I don’t feel threatened in the slightest. I feel hungry and, yes, perhaps even a little bit turned on.”

Brexit campaigner Roy Hobbs added: “I’d do whatever he asked if he looked right at me and said it in French.

“Except for voting to stay in the EU. Leaving the EU would be better than sex.”

Could we have a poll option for undecided aswell next month please?

Can't go a single day without a new story of bad things happening with migrants and the police doing near nothing (or even just letting them go). If only Europe was smart enough to just be a little tougher on crime (migrant or no) then we'd not have a problem really. Not all the migrants commit crimes and majority don't but when you don't even police them properly then it's going to be a disaster for europe.

Could we have a poll option for undecided aswell next month please?

Also this, I'd vote undecided if I could.

Wrong again. Me\Burnsy2023 and another was on about the visa system and how it checks people.
Then you chimed in with the wrong end of the stick again. Go back 3 pages and re-read.

Please try and read all the thread.

Director-general of the British Chambers of Commerce says the UK is better off out of the EU, gets suspended...

When you say "gets suspended", you mean he was suspended for talking bovine excrement on behalf of the 50 or so British accredited chambers of commerce that he is supposed to represent without mandate or support from any of them on the subject, rather than some sort of "man gagged for telling the TRUTH by cabal of masonic eurocrats and pro-European traitors" conspiracy, right? Just checking.

no he's got suspended for breaching their position of neutrality, though he's stated he wasn't speaking on behalf of the organisation

Because it's the opposite of what the majority of members said.

 

[Tephnos]

Still leave.

Osborne drop unpopular pension plans. Does anyone honestly think that if it were an EU finance minister making unpopular changes to the UK pension system, that we'd be able to get him to u-turn?

 

[Kmodo]

Out

 

[DominicStar]

Remain. Until such time as somebody can tell me a single improvement that will happen in my life as a result of leaving, quantify it and prove it.

More random institution name dropping than a Dan Brown novel.

I cant imagine what anyone hopes to gain from leaving the EU. Someone give me their reason for wanting to leave.

If you have a job I am sure it will be worse in terms of terms and conditions of employment as the UK always subscribes to the up yours category of work. Immigration will be no better as world events wont change due to use leaving the EU. Giving overseas aid will still continue and most likely a lot of it wasted. The economics of the situation are unclear but don't look favourable as its more red tape for trading with out largest trading block. Having no more political influence in Europe means that they might go bust, collapse etc but they might also surge on and we wont have an influence anymore and risk being left behind.

I am sure that there are lots of personal reasons either way but in terms of global events it aint a big one for everyone else but it will be for us.

I'll give you three - Sovereignty, Accountability, Transparency.

 

[Kenai]

I'll give you three - Sovereignty, Accountability, Transparency.

What do these actually mean to you or me or any other man in the street in real terms?

They're wonderful buzzwords to constantly throw into debates but I seldom see anyone actually qualify what they would mean and how they would make any difference to anything.

 

[cosmogenesis]

Sovereignty, Accountability, Transparency. (sound bites really, no substance, all ideological and you don't vote out based on ideology although I am sure a lot will do)

The first one is for the small Englanders, the second one is a minor issue as UK politicians are often caught been unaccountable and the same goes with number three as well.

anything else ?

I mean who really has an experience whereby the EU directly affected them?

 

[scorza]

I don't think these are buzzwords at all, but rather important political concepts that people take for granted at the moment and will miss once they're gone. As for what they mean to the average man on the street:

Sovereignty - having a UK government responsible for running the UK, having all the instruments of state (police, army, civil service) report to it. E.g. having the British army that can be sent around the world to defend Britain's interests (e.g. Falkland Islands) on the say so of our Parliament and not an EU army where we'd have to get permission from Brussels to defend the Falklands or intervene in Sierra Leone.

Accountability - having the government held to account. Doesn't matter how powerful a politician is in this country, they can always be voted out at a general election (ask Michael Portillo or Ed Balls). We also have Her Majesty's Opposition and Parliament to also hold the government to account on a day-to-day basis. Who is holding the European Commissioners to account?

Transparency - being able to see and understand the day-to-day workings of government, not having deals done behind-closed-doors in backrooms like the ongoing TTIP deal. Having a register of member's interests for Parliament and sanctions for those MPs who do not declare an interest. Understand that while our system isn't perfect, corruption happens just like everywhere else in the world, it is a good deal more transparent than the way the EU government is set up, where the error rate in the accounts is still too high for the auditors to give their accounts a clean bill of health.
