Just heard a great comment on 'Lewis'.....Student was told by Lewis....'You are telling lies'.....girl replies..'Politicians are lying all the time but you don't go chasing after them' ...how true.

My goodness, just think how full the jails would be if all the lying politicians were prosecuted for it and jailed.

Oh Heaven :y :y :y :y

Cameron is not daft... he knows how to brainwash the gullible. Millibands speech showed just how much he regards your opinion....not one iota >:( At the end of the day, its a select club of 600 odd MP's, playing their own game, with 70 million powerless onlookers.

Even if the majority don't vote for them  >:( >:(

I will admit to being anti EU, especially with the situation as it is and the information provided by our resident anti EU lobby

We are continually hearing about what is BAD for the UK being in the EU.

So in the interest of finding more data so that we can evenly consider our position for the referendum sometime after 2016. Can anyone provide information on what GOOD the UK has gained from our involvement in the EU project.

Agree'd we need to wake up and really understand that we are not liked and those opinions go much further than Europe,on a personal basis I'm expecting to get shafted by whoever or whatever happens,so used it now and don't care anymore...this country is loosing it's identity by degrees and give it a decade or two we'll have lost it.  >:(

Can`t help thinking if we vote to leave the EU what little manufacturing we have left in this country will die a death. So that means lost jobs.  The free market,  means we can ship into the euro zone without our customers needing to pay any duty @ their borders. same goes for imports into the UK.
Our high-tech industies currently trading into europe will get hammered by heavy duty rates being imposed on our exports. The company I work for are trying to break into North american markets with little success because the US protects it`s markets in this way. In Japan the rates are even higher. Think of the large euro based companies, Thales for example. They have invested heavily in the UK why because our designers & builders are second to none. Do you really think these companies will stick around & even risk one euro for a british job. Just wondering now how many jobs will go now as we run up to the 2017 vote.

Says who? ???

That can work both ways. I'm sure Frau Merkel would agree to BMW and Audi being hit by heavy duty rates. ;)

Nah. Just scare stories. Business would carry on as per normal. No-one could afford it not to. :y

What are we actually in the EU for? What do we gain by being in it? the thing is i simply dont unerstand the implications of being IN or OUT.
all i know is we spend a lot of money being in it, have our laws made for us and allow any number of migrating folk from europe in.

whats the benefit to us staying in?

Like Norway and Switzerland don't have trade agreements with the EU.  ::)

More important, though, is the fact that I want the UK to be a democratically-independent nation.  :y

If we exit the EU & contriibute nothing to Brussels, the french & germans will use import tariffs as a big stick to hurt us with; they will protect jobs & investment in europe. They won`t give a monkeys about us.
When was the last time you bought something that had made in Norway on it? exactly.

Global companies invest in the UK because we`re part of the EU,  The foreign workers are here because we have  jobs, but don`t worry they`ll soon bugger off after 2017.
