Referendum : to be in Europe or not to be ?, that is the question ! (REF)     

required field - 03 Feb 2016 10:00

Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

David Cameron : "Turkey joining EU is not 'remotely' on the cards"


Ho no..Then why is he giving 2 billion euro's to help fast track them into the EU????

He's a lying deceptive piece of s***.....

grannyboy - 22 May 2016 13:42 - 2095 of 12628

Yes maybe so, but when you've got foreign organisations like the IMF,
Goldman Sachs, and all the other's, begged by cameron and his cronies
to put their pennyworth's in, ALL of them with ulterior motives or
vested interest, IE: As in being pro EU organisations or being paid/getting
donations by Brussels....

Then yes if they are gullible to believe these organisations and individuals,
then they're foolish!!......

gb
The Turks are not being fast tracked into Europe. All they are getting is visa free tourist travel. They won't be able to work in the EU or even stay very long. And none of it applies to the UK as we are not part of the Schengen agreement.

Cameron did get what he wanted out of the EU.

grannyboy - 22 May 2016 18:01 - 2097 of 12628

Haystacks have you been hitting the sherbuts?

When I said Turkey was being fast tracked into the EU(Full membership),
that's what I meant, and what is happening...Its got nothing to do with
the 'deal' with Turkey and the EU with sending back the ILLEGAL immigrants
arriving in Greece and being able to send these ILLEGALS back, which
includes the Turks visa free travel through europe..

"And non will be able to stay long"....How will the authorities know how long
they stay, there's nothing to stop them staying 3/6/9 months, or longer...

As to "Cameron did get what he wanted out of the EU"

So what he said at the Bloomburg conference was just B***S**t, and up
until the start of the 'reform' negotiations!!!..


In other words my observations of 'Call me Dave' being a snake oil
salesman is undeniably true.........

Haystack - 22 May 2016 19:16 - 2098 of 12628

Every country in the EU has a veto on any country joining. There are several countries who will exercise their veto to keep Turkey out including the UK. Turkey will not be joining for a generation or more.

i am very puzzled ..... why do commonwealth immigrants - non-uk citizens - have the right to vote in OUR referendum?

i know i'm tired, but i'm sure i heard that correctly on this evening's news

Austrian exit poll tied at 50-50

Citizens from over 70 nations will be able to vote in the UK referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union if they have UK residence. But most European Union nationalities will be excluded.

Commonwealth migrants from 54 states - including ­Australia, Canada, India, Pakistan and Nigeria - can join the electoral roll as long are they are residents in the UK.

Unlike the general election, Commonwealth citizens in Gibraltar will also be eligible to vote in the EU referendum.

Bizarrely, Irish Republic citizens who are resident in UK can vote.

Tory fury as David Cameron suggests Labour government in Europe better than Conservative one outside it







By Kate McCann, Senior political correspondent
22 May 2016 • 7:51pm


David Cameron has "betrayed" Conservative activists and MPs by suggesting that a Labour Government inside the EU would be better than the Conservatives under Brexit, a senior Cabinet source has warned.

Asked if the UK would be "stronger, safer and better off" in the EU under Labour or out under the Tories the Prime Minister said the Europe vote is the more important decision.

He added that "you can always get rid" of political parties in Westminster in five years time, but that the EU referendum vote will be "impossible to reverse".

His comments have prompted fury among Conservative MPs and Leave campaigners, who believe Mr Cameron was suggesting a Jeremy Corbyn-led Government would be a price worth paying to remain in the EU.

One senior cabinet source told The Telegraph: "Members of the Conservative party, grassroots supporters and MPs worked incredibly hard to deliver a Conservative majority at last year's election.

"For the Prime Minister to now hint that a Labour Government could be a positive prospect is a kick in the teeth that some people will see as a betrayal.


“But if you ask me what is a more important decision, a General Election or this Europe vote, actually the Europe vote is more important. Because if you don’t like the Government, you can always get rid of them in five years’ time”

David Cameron

Haystack - 22 May 2016 21:12 - 2103 of 12628

That is complete nonsense. I saw the interview. Robert Peston tried to make out that Cameron said that but he didn't. He just said that the referendum is more important than a general election which it is because governments are temporary.

MaxK - 22 May 2016 23:29 - 2104 of 12628

No no Haystack.

Dave fucked up this time, or his controllers did.

The hand up his back making his mouth move was missing, and so off it ran...out of control.


btw, the mask is slipping...

Haystack - 23 May 2016 01:24 - 2105 of 12628

Not at all. Robert Peston even tried to get Cameron to agree that he had said that Labour IN would be better than Conservative OUT, but Cameron said that wasn't the case. It was just Peston trying to put words in his mouth. A bit of a non event. Peston is trying too hard to make a name for himself since leaving BBC and going to ITV.

VICTIM - 23 May 2016 07:23 - 2106 of 12628

Is there really a Haystack or is it just a stooge for central office that go on BBs to defend their dodgy deceptive lie machine that is Dave .

grannyboy - 23 May 2016 07:30 - 2107 of 12628

Haystack why has the UK(cameron) given 2 billion euro's to help Turkey
achieve fast track membership of the EU...Where has this money gone
if its not been used for what they say its for???...

There was reports yesterday from cameron that Turkey would'nt be
joining for hundreds of years......

WHAT AN UTTER LIE AND A BLATANT ATTEMPT AT DECEIVING THE PUBLIC...

IT'S BEEN CAMERONS ONGOING OBJECTIVE TO GET TURKEY INTO THE EU!!!

VICTIM - 23 May 2016 07:37 - 2108 of 12628

As it's his next destination , that is a JOB in Brussels , there's got to be some collaboration with Merkel I would think a sort of get lining things up now . I've always thought he couldn't care how many immigrants came here .

Cameron's claims on Brexit 'risible' say economists



By Szu Ping Chan
22 May 2016 • 8:48pm




David Cameron's claim that prices will jump if Britain leaves the EU is “nonsense” and based on complete guesswork, critics have claimed.

The criticism by former MPs and economists comes as the Prime Minister and Chancellor George Osborne warn today that a vote to leave will push the economy into a year-long recession and “put hundreds of thousands of people out of work right across the country”.

Norman Lamont dismissed claims that a drop in the pound would increase shopping bills and leave Britons with less money in their pockets as “more scaremongering”.

The former Tory Chancellor said the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was distorting markets and keeping prices artificially high by limiting competition from outside the bloc.

“Of all the scares and alarmism, the suggestion that prices would go up by leaving the EU is the most bizarre,” he said.

“Every one knows that one of the purposes of the EU as founded was to keep the price of food high and the CAP does exactly that. Leaving the EU would cut food prices.”

Treasury analysis shows the food costs for a family of two adults and two children will climb by around £120 a year by 2018 if Britain votes for Brexit, while clothing and footwear prices will rise by around £100.

Patrick Minford, Margaret Thatcher’s former economic adviser also claimed prices would fall if Britain left the “protectionist” EU bloc, while Ruth Lea, economic adviser to the Arbuthnot Banking Group, described the Treasury analysis as “bizarre and risible”.

I'm reading about a Steve Hilton the PMs closest friend in Politics today . Steve Hilton breaks ranks to say Britain must leave the " arrogant and unaccountable EU . Says a shattering blow to the PM . I dare say we will be told by someone in a minute that he's of no importance at all .

Some are less sensitive than others.

Take Manuel for instance.
