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....

The European Union has put itself at the top of an Olympic medal tracker! Maybe there is a commision for sports that we haven't heard of yet. Headed by Monsieur Rêveur
The EU's version of the medal table has amalgamated Britain's golds with the medals won by other European countries to put it firmly on the top.
The tally of EU countries' gold medals was 81 on Thursday night, compared with 30 for the United States. Of those 81 gold medals, 21 were won by British athletes.
In the official medal table, Britain is second behind the United States. Germany is the next best European country in fourth overall with 13 golds followed by France and Italy in seventh and eighth position with eight golds each.

Dumbo,
As is not infrequent, your are completely wrong about my wishes.
But I would, in general, prefer to avoid or navigate past danger when I see it.
Also, don't see why the poorest in society should have to pay for the sometimes stupidity of the "said" leaders and those who "know" better.

Thicko , the said leaders like your hero Blair who opened the door to world and said come in .
Most of your posts are bordering on moronic .

Strange then that given your above statement you were an advocate of remaining in the EU.

Dumbo,
You are living up to your name.
Read my past posts on Blair.
You appear dafter than he was in some of his actions.

I still think it a folly to have voted for Brexit. As do many others who thought it sensible to remain in the EU and modify the "regulations" and perhaps goals.
But the proof is said to be in the eating.
At the moment the grand surge by some of the Brexiters was for OUT.
Where they were advocate going and what they are going to get if they got there?
No Planning. Leaders of rabble and leaving the scene as soon as possible after the act.
My guess is nothing great substance will be obtained and probably little will be of advantage to the whole of the UK. At that if any will be at a cost.
Nothing is for nothing. The ability to and age of pirating and pillaging other countries are fading.
Devaluation, which some are celebrating, is a pin-prick to the economy, a form of "austerity", which inevitably effects the poorest and fades as a stimulant after a few months.
Mind, one can invite the Russians and Chinese and other countries to buy the "country's silver" at knock down prices. Invite a few more.
Ask them to donate to the coffers of the Cons party and involve them in decision making.
Perhaps giving them holiday homes in Monaco, Panama, or the Cayman Isles.

I see there are jobs going in the latter..

I think now that some of those who voted remain will be seeing that leaving
is not going to bring war and destruction to the western world, and that the
UK's economy would go belly up, in fact the opposite.

The "rules, laws and regulations" of the EEC, EU etc. have been in constant, (even if slow) modification for the last 40 years.
As have the "rules, laws and regulations" of the UK for the last 300 years.
It is what you would expect of a dynamic ongoing developing body.
Times change, attitudes change and rules change in response.
Mistakes are made and the majority are recovered from.
But revolution generally causes more pain than necessary, evolution is preferable.
But the rabble wants blood and thunder.
Usually, other people's blood.

Yup you really are that thick ....

Not in our favour , an anti democratic and very very corrupt union who are unelected and wanted more and more power over us .

You want your sweets, but you won't share some of yours with anybody else.
You want to change the rules and you are going to stamp your feet until you get your own way.
You are special and want to be treated as such.
Hopes.
Restart the medication.

4924 - it may be termed "my personal balance" but as you admitted once (yes, just once) many moons ago, you have no interest in presenting a balanced view ......
with that you are indeed consistent, and dull and boorish and monotonous, and it is for for that (alone) that i am very glad indeed that i waste little of my time on here nowadays

For someone who is a little long in the tooth, as you are Fred, you don't seem to learnt anything from experience.
Defending your way of life is not something terrible, it is a natural reaction to any incursion.
For an old socialista, you have a weird way of looking out for your offspring..cos they are the ones who will feel the pinch of globalism.
It's also a little strange to see a died in the wool socialista defending market free for all'...except it's not free, nothing is free...there is a cost, and your grandkids will pay.
