Re: Food For Thought, Should we be in the E.U. ?
John, Dont think for one minute, The supreme court arnt aware of the facts i have posted after much reading on the issue, They will never simplify anything that will put them out of a job. Its the establishment of this country that put up there own brick walls i have simply laid it out in plain language say it as it is. Not how you want it to be. Regards Terry.

Re: Food For Thought, Should we be in the E.U. ?
mr Cameron backed himself into a corner by voting and he come unstuck now the government knows it got its party in on the back of it and 17.5 million people spoke the only thing is nobody seems to be listening? the ones trying to drag out the leaving should put all the effort to getting the country on its feet without the eu funny they can get a high court hearing quick as you like and yet there is a marine doing 10 years for shooting someone who was beyond help putting him out of his misery and he has to wait for a hearing date that could be a couple of years shows how the establishment works,, jp

Hi Terry.
Is it Democracy that a Bl%$k person can cause so much damage to the British system of Gov't so quickly; and yet an ex British soldier has to wait years for his case to be heard.

Re: Food For Thought, Should we be in the E.U. ?
#13... John from 12000 miles away I got the impression that Cameron had to promise on a referendum to get back into power. His big mistake was dragging his feet on given it. If he had giving one straight away instead of tensions building up over several years before he got his ass into gear, even if it had gone the same way it did, it would of been all over and done with now. His other mistake was not being neutral on the subject, he is there the same as any PM to do the will of the people. So he fell on his own sword through two well known sins, Sloth, and not knowing his duties and will go down in History as just another incompetent politician. And your Mary Magdalene or whatever they call her will go the same way if she doesn't start producing soon instead of promising. Cheers JS

Re: Food For Thought, Should we be in the E.U. ?
#8 They certainly didn't cancel the UKs. I read a book years and years ago about the policys after the war, and it was someones theory that it was the intention of the USA to keep the UK in debt so that she did not have the influences she had pre war due to its naval strength, and laid up the way for the US to take on the role. Someone someday will write a book in parallel to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, only this one will be the Rise and Fall of the United Kingdom. Even then the truth will never come out. As people only believe what they think is palatable. That's how I fail to see how some of the stories put out by the press are assumed to be 100 per cent correct, most belong in Grimms Fairy Tales.
