Title: EU Some Stupid examples why to Leave or Stay
Post by: zirk on 07 June 2016, 18:48:08
First off, dont wont to turn this into a 'should we, shouldn't we' or another Political Thread, but here on some on the reasons I heard or over heard from other people discussing the EU Vote, God help us.  ;D

If we Vote Out then we wont have to pay VAT anymore so everything will be cheaper.
If were out then I wont be able to Play Euro Millions.
If we win Out then the Prime Minister will be forced to resign and Boris will be the new PM.
Most Pubs will have to close down because most of our Beer is made in the EU.
If we come out, Holidays will be cheaper because they will bring back Duty Free Shops.
We should stay in because were protected by Nato.
They will have to close the Channel Tunnel if we come out.
We should stay in because I dont have a Passport and dont wont one.
Im in because I work for Ikea and dont wont to lose my Job.

What have you heard, over heard from other people?

Nope, seriously heard them, seems to be hot topic at the moment and for good reasons too, and makes a change from  talking about the weather, mainly young folk, and a few olders, love to know where they get there information from  ::)

Someone said to me the other day that we should stay in the EU because if the Russians invade the Europeans won't help us and Donald Trump won't either!  ;D

And digressing slightly, when the Scottish referendum was on a couple of years ago, we were discussing it at work during lunch and one of the girls looked up from her iphone and said "What's it all about anyway?  Don't we own Scotland or somefing?"   ;D

This is why I believe that anyone who wishes to vote on this or any other political vote, should be made to take a political awareness exam. It would also stop politicians consistently appealing to the lowest common denominator.  :)

Good idea that, problem is, it will rule out about 85% of the UK population.  ;D

Good idea. A couple of cryptic clues on the polling card as to where the polling centre is would weed out most of the dipshits.

Yeah, my postman isn't very good with numbers. It's not hard. Number 3 on my door. Number 3 on my mail... Number 5 on my neighbours' door... Number 5 on my rather neighbour's mail...  >:(

My Postman must be good at Maths then, as the Door Number thing is bang on  :y, He just needs to polish up on the Street and Road names.  :(

Our post girlie is normally pretty good, and easy on the eye as well.  The post woman does her job well, but "past her best".

Lord Opti might though :P

No worries, he is too busy helping his mate Assad.

On Putin's recent official visit to Greece:

Passport control; officials went through their normal discourse:

Name? Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin

Occupation? Not this time, I'm only here for two days!
