This in the Mail today is very concerning, what other statistics are being hidden from the voters?

This has been kicking around for a while. The basic problem is that they're talking about numbers that don't provide a measure of immigration and comparing them to numbers that do, and comparing a gross figure to a net figure and then getting their panties bunched because a different set of numbers that have never been routinely published are not being published.

The IPS numbers line up decently well with the results of the Labour Force Survey which suggests there is no big discrepancy to be found.

The question is does Cameron really want to stay in the EU?
I'm not sure he does. It's almost like he purposely negotiated a weak deal knowing it would get ripped apart.

Imho he genuinely tried but no one in the eu apart from a few rightwing yank controlled nato aspirants ex Warsaw pact nations want the uk to stay.

The U.K. Has been outside of the EU much longer than it has been inside it. In fact, I'm sure we've achieved more whilst not being a member...

What an insane line of reasoning.

Has anyone heard the joke where we are kicking educated, English and working speaking migrants out of the country if they earn less than 35k who aren't from the EU and keeping non English speaking, uneducated benefits claimants from the EU.

That one?

Caged · 12 Mar 2016 at 16:21

Did the EU make us do that or was that a political party trying to appease their right-wing press overlords?

Firstly, don't blame the EU for Tory policy. Blame for the Tories for Tory policy.

Secondly, EU migrants are - on average - better educated than non-EU migrants.

It's a government trying anything to get some semblance of control over something that they can't control, no matter how discriminatory it is.

70 odd years ago we were fighting homegrown terrorism whilst trying to deal with a German Chancellor hell-bent on ruling all of Europe. We were still feeling the effects of global recession that originated in America and being led by a Conservative Government whose domestic policies were largely unpopular.

....so yeah, pretty much

There is a German ruling Europe economically.

The world in general and Europe in particular are nothing like it used to be. The EU consists of liberal democracies and they share the same main goals - prosperity and spreading democracy. Your delusions regarding the return of the Empire and Germans hell-bent on ruling the world are completely disconnected from reality.

Plus Germany doesn't even have nukes so they wouldn't get very far.

I thought having control over our borders and blocking immigration was what the leave crowd wanted the most?
