Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

VIC is that daft old drunk Fred bothering you again ,don't worry he won't even vote .

The willingness of each of the EU countries coming to the aid of one another, not selfish self-centred little isolationist principles.

Tell that to Greece and Cyprus and indeed the UK.

I know jimmy that loop he's on needs updating , the doctors in these places are complaining about the influx in various countries and saying they are at breaking point . In Germany they say that they need armed guards because the nurses get threatened by these people , yes even those wonderful Syrians . But they are only nurses aren't they who cares .

JB,

You shouldn't post selfies of yourself.

Somebody might offer to care for you.

Perhaps, an immigrant.

Hear some are very tolerant of the less fortunate!

The one size fits all Euro benefited one country above all others, Germany. They needed higher interest rates whereas the majority of the remainder needed much lower rates, the Euro gave Germany a distinct advantage over most if not all other countries in the Euro. So to say each country were willing to aid one another is absolutely ludicrous.

The great EU helping Greece ,what a load of rubbish ,the EU don't even know what to do .

Yes your both right Germany wins and wants the EU to succeed at all costs . Germany or Merkel , who announce to the world they will take in 800,000 Syrians this year and 500,000 for the next few years . without consulting there own people or any other member of the EU , just like that . Stuff all the other members .

referendum reference article
well worth buying today's telegraph
page 7 gives a brief and balanced resume on some of the main sovereignty issues
it gives the present status and what is likely to happen if we leave

on many of the issues, there is unlikely to be a great difference in the reality of things

That cartoon just about sums it up Max.
As FDR said in his inaugural address in 1933 - So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
He said a lot more of course about the great recession and greedy bankers. We never seem to learn. Or our political masters simply don't want to.

Just a reminder!

I must be a Nationalist because i fear it as well, people having to have ID is one step away from sending people to concentration camps, you stupid twat!

There will be no ID cards in UK. It was looked at previously and rejected.

Just watching the Corbyn nonsense about Trident. He is delusional.

This might brighten your day.

What has the EU done for us

So if we exit the EU war is going to breakout. We will still be in NATO & Interpol. No wonder they have used a bunch Comedians to make that video

Part of what Janet Daley wrote in the Telegraph today. She also makes some interesting observations on how Cameron has made the referendum very personal.
"Anyone who pretends that he knows definitively what is, or is not, going to happen after this referendum, whichever way it goes, is either lying or deluded. Just trying to list the possibilities would take another column: a Leave vote could precipitate panic in Brussels and an immediate need for concessions to the UK or, on the contrary, it could provoke a vindictive bout of recrimination – which, as it happens, would damage the EU more than us. Or it could produce the dreaded “contagion” in which all the discontented populations of Europe rise up and clamour for the exit, thus causing the authority of the central institutions to collapse. Then again, the granting of more freedom to the UK could have the same effect.
Only one thing is certain: staying in on the terms of the present “deal” will do absolutely nothing to ameliorate the major dissatisfactions that we have with the EU. Most of the existing “concessions”, as almost everybody outside Downing Street can now see, are semantic blather and the few concrete alterations on benefits will have virtually no effect on inward migration, which would still be out of our control".
