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....

Bless you, my son.

I will forgive you.

Delusions of grandeur there eh Freda , seems about right .

shame jimmy has buggered off ..... hope he is persuaded back and that the general tone improves too

Come on back jimmy, the board needs you.

Don't leave jimmy I enjoy your comments.

I have been suspended here and on ADVFN for a lot worse than gets posted on this thread ... Mike's exaggerating :-)

I agree, it is a pity. I hope jb returns. Leg-pulling and banter is fine (imo), problems start when it get's personal.

Got banned about 10 times in an hour once for impersonating different names including the name BulIshare (the type face at the time didn't distinguish between a capital I and a lower case L :-)

I am now a reformed character :-)

I think you should ignore Freda jimmy , he ain't worth it , he's just a wind up merchant .

Saying that I think Addo used Mike's name.

Come back Stan, all is forgiven. :) and Jimmy, Vicky is heartbroken.

I can assure you I am not exaggerating, there has been a fair amount of crap posted on this thread, nothing unusual there then, but we do take issue with the racist and bigoted tone of some posts. If people have such extreme views we are happy to see them move on to extreme left and right wing forums.

Dil: Was it only 10 times you were banned?

Mike

Lol Mike , one of them still works but I can't remember which one it was long time ago.

I think one of yours was Dominic Simpson :-)

Thanks for the comments all ..

Mike i don't want to get in to a to and fro about what's been said but the one thing i am not is a racist ,my comments are usually about not liking mass and out of control immigration in to this country .

jimmy b: You are more than welcome to stay as are other posters but we have to try and control the language and tone at times. We have had many complaints but generally let other posters calm things down. We had some very serious complaints yesterday ,hence our action.

Ok cheers .

Back to business. I like the tone of the Lilley article which has solutions rather than problems. I'm not qualified to say he is right except it is better to go ahead and be firm and let the commission react, rather than dither and try to negotiate with someone who is deliberately intent on making matters difficult. Guy Verhofstadt is no friend of the UK and how can you be serious with a 63 year-old that continues to comb his hair over his brow like a schoolboy?
Better to tell him what we are going to do and let him upset the car makers, flower sellers and farmers of Europe.
