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....

if you read schaubler's comments, he'll tell you uk has no chance of doing anything at all except on eu's terms
read someone else, and you get a rather different picture, not least about restricting freedom of movement

read another, and you'll be told that eu is stronger than ever
read someone else and they'll tell you that italy, france and nl want out as their next elections will show ..... and again, moldova which has been chasing for eu membership for some years, is now being (forcibly) turned back towards russia

... and corporation tax cut to a historic low should please them and tempt EU businesses here.

Indeed Dil. Good weekend with England struggling against Japan and Wales crushing Fiji.

What are corporation taxes and backhanders like in banana republics?

:->

depends on the price of bananas, though virtually all plantations are under severe threat from the fungal disease Tropical Race 4

Fred do you think Banana Republics really do just grow Bananas ?

some small nations are almost totally reliant on same :-)

Dumbo,

Yes!

Do you feel hungry?

So Ireland is now categorised as a Banana republic.

Like Ecuador - bananas and Julien Assange - a banana by another name. It does have shrimps as well. Assange again comes to mind.

I thought you did , i love Bananas ,you know what they say about Bananas and Porridge ?

Referring to somewhere as a banana republic is consider by some as racist Fred.

Not me though , I saw a 'what it was like in the 80's' programme on Channel 4 I think on the weekend and in one clip Spike Milligan opened the door to a coulered postman who handed him a letter and Spike said 'that's black mail'.

I laughed.

Martini , why did a Fijian score two tries for England are you short of players or something ?

Dil.

I would have as well.

Happy go lucky sort of guy really aren't you Freda .

Looks like no ones reading your comic strip Freda .

An amusing side effect of Brexit and the falling pound is that we pay £15m more each week to the EU. The £350m a week is paid in EUROS.

Amusing? I would describe it as grotesque, if true.

Well its more like 380 mil pounds, which is obscene when you think it goes to
pay the pensions of the likes of ALL the Kinnocks and the boy clegg along with
mandelson, and the other inflated salary's of those other sycophants...
