United Europe is a disaster, always has been and will remain so .... yes we all fell for the political lies re the "common market" but, come the referendum or revolution, (:xmas-smiley-004 this fiasco must surely end; which is exactly why they won't allow one. Leopards and spots come to mind regards Germany and the French, (let off a cracker they surrender). Having tried direct conflict and failed twice the `Gerry's' are now trying the back-door and all windows. Take a look at Europes agricultural abysmal programme and that utter waste of millions of Euro's changing annually (twice) from France to Brussels and back, all to pacify the french idiots. So, lobby your MP's insist upon our right to be heard and get a referendum ... NOW. At times like this I'm very glad I have all but run my course. All we need now is to see "Ms Merkel" with a 3 inch brush and a can of paint and ... ooooops here we go again. ..) *Come back Guy Fawkes all is forgiven. Mike.

United Europe.....? Did not some immigrant from Austria, working in Germany, try that in the 1930's?

One of the main thing about the EU etc, etc is the fact that it puts politicians in jobs. The political -club- (and believe me it´s mutinational) creates complex administration for it´s own end (read theirs). The Swedes have been sending the -local political idiot- from the -forum- here off to Brussels since the beginning. To get rid of them for a while. It is also counted as a perk, if you are -up and coming-. When they come back from -the parliment- they usually forget to tell anyone so they continue to get paid even though they haven´t got the job anymore. (Just happened here). Problem is that there are so many low IQ, money grabbing politicians over here that there a´rn´t the places for them. They used to pack them off as ambassadors when they had become too much of an embaressment to -the party- But these days it can be a bit hairy sending the village idiot off to places like Iran or equiv. There might mbe nasty words said (an as you all know, the Swedes don´t like a conflict. Last time they had a good one was in the beginning of the 19th century when the Russians who they had been fighting finally got a proper army together and ended up setting fire to most of the towns along the Swdish baltic coast. Nearest town to here is just up the road from me - Norrköping) After all that they have been -Neutral- Only thing that can be said of the Swedish political system is that there is some -transparency- so things get out (mainly because they make such blunders that they are forced to admit - then they take -time out- only to appear in another guise 6 months later.

We can´t feed and cloth all the politicians and their -off shoots- for much longer but just like the Roman -elite- they will keep it going to the bitter end. All this has made me go off me porridge now....... blast

£50million a day to be in the EU club.. err no thanks.

Cameron did well yesterday to basically stick two fingers up at the Germans and the French. We should leave and invest in manufacturing. We should form working relationships with the States, China, India and the former British collanies.

I couldn't believe what tripe the two ****-Ed's spouted! They are pure idiots IMHO.

Without wanting to sound too dense, can the UK afford to come out of Europe? I mean I know it costs us billions to stay in but will it not cost more billions to come out? If so where does the moeny come from or has dave found some spare tenners down the back of his couch?
