UKPoacher Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Some of these are true, some of this is just speculation from academics. Yes the EU may have enabled cheaper mobile calls across Europe, or forced airlines to pay compensation for delayed flights. We pay net £33mln a day for the privilege. I'll happily live without these 'benefits' and bank the £33mln/day thanks. To be honest I'd rather the EU didn't meddle in these matters. It is nothing to do with them.

old'un Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'd rather have a look at this. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/24/hungary-viktor-orban-will-call-referendum-on-eu-refugee-quotas You've got to hand it to Viktor... a leader with a pair of cahoona's the likes of which Cameron could only dream of. If it carries on like that I don't think we will need a referendum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, the very same Telegraph that Quisling Dave has been using to place his full page ads supporting his position. You must remember the ads? A third of FTSE100 bosses... no mention of the TWO thirds who didn't endorse it. A few EX senior military top brass... nothing from the current incumbents who are probably so ****** off with him slashing their respective services to the bone that a few years ago they'd have probably had him shot for cowardice!! The simple fact is it doesn't matter how old you are, whether you're male, female or somewhere in between, it doesn't matter if you're a Tory, a Trot or a 'Kipper and it doesn't matter what school or uni you went to. What matters is if you want to live under a democratically elected UK government, voted in (and out) at a UK election and answerable only to UK citizens. What matters is if you want to live in a democracy. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyxologos Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 The first is ********, the second makes the assumptions that the UK government would not have brought out similar laws and ignores the EU imposed laws that hamper businesses, the third is pure speculation, as is the fourth. The 'right to retire in Europe' for example is dependent on which EU country you want to retire to. They all differ in respect of health care and taxes. Total ********! I disagree, and I could go on a long post explaining why, but I suspect this will not make a bit of a difference. I am not hoping to convince anyone, all I was hoping for was throw some facts in. I just cannot sit by and read all this sensationalism. Thanks for taking the time to read them at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyxologos Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 They`re not all facts though. Some are just opinions. Indeed. But there are some undeniable facts there, and there is no hiding from them. Another article, for example, directly confronts the argument made by the 'outsiders' as they should be known, that commonwealth (aka the old colonies most of which through bloody wars kicked the british out of their country and gained independence) countries are waiting a uk exit from the EU so they can trade.

Well, apparently not... Maybe, not apparently. "would possibly have an adverse impact on investment and movement of professionals to the UK" "However, even if Brexit forced some Indian businesses to “go directly” to European markets, some advantages of the UK would remain. “There’s the language issue, and who wants to live in Hamburg if you can live in London?” Guruswamy said." As much as both camps are arguing the economic implications the truth is no one knows for sure. And at least one economist has said that even if there is a negative impact it will likely only be a very small one. I`m with Scully on this. I`m willing to take the risk in return for removing the bureacracy of Brussels and gaining back control of our own legislative system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyxologos Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 On a different note, some 'leavers' seem to preach one thing and do another. How else can one explain that they abstain from a vote to give back £630m to the uk? I saw this here. Maybe another leftie rag. Oh wait, no.

Please define significant. The Westminster paper estimated it between 8% ans 14%, if I remember correctly (I might be wrong). Is this significant?
