Re: The exit debate on tv
Read Cameron statement online, does he think we are fools?
He has stated that the economy could shrink by £20b. This would lead to less money for the armed forces and a reduction in pensions.
Well, I have news for the clown, take the £10b that we pay directly to the EU, cut overseas aid by £12b, that's £22b, what's the problem?

Re: The exit debate on tv
vic the way it works if I gave you £40.00 you give me back £20.00 but you cant spend a penny of your £20.00 unless I say so?? so who's money is it your or mine the eu is a house of cards they try to frighten us into staying we have nailed our colours to the mast by giving us the vote and the pressure is on the rest for pulling the skint countries out of the sh.te it would cost the remaining ones {with capital} billions that we would have paid. we will get all the trade we need legal or not they need our trade like it or not if not make what we need here it will be better for our country I would sooner pay a bit more for British made goods than some of the cheep shi.e we get out of the eu everyone shops on line now anyway and I don't think the eu will cut its nose of to spite its face they need the capital to keep their noses in the trough and they know it we have been pushed far enough we have picked our ball up and heading home? just my view..jp

Re: The exit debate on tv
Your P.M. has learned the old adage that was used by the British Shipowner and politicians from the year 1. Divide and Rule. If you can get dissent among people you use this to your own advantage. I remember serving my time, when the personnel manager confided in me it was to the companys advantage that there was dissent among departments, as this took any mud slinging away from themselves. They revelled in the fact of there being the old saying of oil and water not mixing. I received many bollickings for mixing with others when serving my time. However my generation was that immediately after the war, and also coming from a working class background, which in those days was not as usual as it is today. Snobbery it was called. I know masters who resigned when they brought communal messing in to ships. Such was the ridiculuous attitude some took. A sitting government as you now have with a much belated referendum, can sit back and disclaim any mis-handling of the situation, the controversy going on is of their making through bad government of the past and broken promises, this will all disappear in the smoke cover up. It takes the ordinary people to stand up and keep repeating the actual facts, and not a politicians wishful thinking. I hope for the UKs sake that common sense will prevail and not the spoutings of a ridiculous PM who has no faith in his own country, and is using his power of controlling the truth to his own advantage.. JWS
PS. I would assume he is not too thick in the self preservation department to realize whatever way the electorate vote, his days as PM are finished. As to this end he will be hoping to step down with no black marks against his name so as to receive the usual statutory knighthood. To be able to put on his letterhead paper when applying for the usual Directorships of various companys. The old saying you cant kick against the pricks is quite true and the only remedy is not to put them there in the first place. People have the remedy in their own hands and if they don't use it they are going to lose it. JWS

Re: The exit debate on tv
Denmark is proposing a similar referendum if Britex gets up, so they are not happy. In last nights news Hungary is to have a vote to not take the number of refugees the EU says it must.
If you want to see which side is likely to win go to the betting bookies, they will have the odds that will do best for them and they usually have it right.

Re: The exit debate on tv
I am still waiting for answers off Cameron, His Eton and Oxford Education was obviously not as good as mine, I didn't go to school until nearly 10 due to WW2 and could not read or write until 11, but I was always taught that it was courteous to answer all letters, if someone has taken the time to write to you then you make the time to answer. That is just courtesy, They obviously do not teach that in those Establishments.
Ignorant pig,
Brian
