Re: EU
I still think Europe should be used as a Nuclear Testing Ground, that is all it is fit for.

Re: EU
They have a good start to the 1000 year Reich that Adolph advocated, maybe the only thing that might slow them down is the climate change being too tough for them to push to one side or they might change their tune on that now as inconsequential as it probably always has been. Brian if they overstretch their authority the testing ground theory may be all too true and maybe Russia may oblige them. Cheers JS

Re: EU
HI Jack.
I think Australia is still looking for young men like you, it may be difficult to get in but it is worth the try. This country has a future, people are not afraid to have a go and there is opposition to being swamped by slims, I don't like this conservative Govt but I will vote for them along with a few million Aussies if they keep them out.
Cheers Des

Re: EU
after the vote it will happen here?? people have vote conservative after having the promise of an in/out of Europe they are giving money to countries that obviously cant pay it back in the first place now if we do get out we will go through a period were we will be looking for trade with other lands? a few tree huggers put a stop to fracking{getting gas out of the ground} we could reduce the cost of gas put 1000s of people in employment and not be beholding to Europe for our gas this to me is stupid the fracking should go ahead for the sake of the economy of the country imagine plenty of gas and gas powered cars that would be far better for the environment not because there is a pipe coming out of a field? any thoughts.. jp

Re: EU
As long as sterling stays in Vogue. The Europe Parliament has no say on National matters. And the Human Rights commission is totally rewritten in line with the 21 century. As long as Cameron can see daylight there he may start getting somewhere. However Europe already has the UK sectioned off into separate areas like a slab of beef hanging up in a Buenos Aires café. Wonder which part is designated the T-Bone area, probably London. JS

Re: EU
One Idiot I spoke to said, "I hope we have the euro instead of the pound" I said `Why` she said , "Then we wont have to change our money when we go to Benidorm."
It is idiots like this who will vote to stay in.
We have been Ripped off by them since we started.
Example, ... PSNC had all the Trade sewn up down the West Coast of South America for more than 160 years. Now we have lost it, I was down there last year in Ecuador, Peru and Chile. Not one British ship or container anywhere.
All I could see was German Container ships, sometimes three and four a day, unloading containers, There were thousands of Containers on every dock side, Every one said, HAMBURG SUD,
SO Who is ripping off who???
All across the world all I ever see is Hamburg Sud.
The Germans are cleaning up with their exports and have taken All our Trade.
This would not have happened if there was No european union.
Get Rid of the them and get our Trade back.
.
Some thing else I have noticed, everytime Calais gets full of Invaders, the frogs always go on strike, the wagons are lying idle for days and that gives the Invaders time to get into them for England.
One way of getting rid of them.
I am going to send Cameron another email, I think there should be Royal Marines and /or Ghurkas on every Ferry, and every Ferry should be searched before it leaves Calais, any stoways can then be dumped back in Calais..
One day , a couple of these Invaders will have Suicide Vests on and then Hi Jack the Ferry with hundreds of Passengers on, and then mid Channel BOOM!!!!
IS are always looking for some Spectacular event to blow up, if I can think it so can they.
Every one should email Cameron until he gets the message.
Brian

Re: EU
I have just sent an email to Cameron......
.
Dear Mr Cameron. As a retired Seafaring man of over 40 years experience of working all over the world and many years in the Middle East, I am concerned with the ease of these "migrants" coming into our once great nation inside vehicles and the Ferry.
ISIL announced not so long ago that their operatives are coming in along with the migrants to await "The Call"
As you should know, ISIL always want to do something spectacular,
Scenario...... two of the stowaways on the Ferry from Calais have suicide vests on, they hijack the ferry mid channel with hundreds of British Passengers on, What are you going to do.????
Should you not have Royal Marines and/or Ghurkhas on the Ferries searching every vehicle before the ship sails to Dover??? any caught can be put ashore again in Calais and not taken to England.
Simple.!
I await your comments.
yours sincerely
Brian Aspinall
I have received a receipt for it. I will let you know if there is any comment.
