Re: EU and our PM.
JP Every day we get bombarded with words about the deaths of civilians in various parts of the M.E. better I suppose than being bombed with the real thing. If everyone wants it to stop as they say they do, why don't the rebel forces just come out with their hands in the air as is done in most wars of the past. The whole shenanigans was started when they thought they had world opinion on their side who supplied them with arms, if the truth was known, what ever rebel type if got into power would just be a replica of what they have always had. The outside world should stop putting their own interpretation on how others exist. All this goes to show that co-existence with western life styles is a totally mistaken view by imbecilic peoples who have caused more trouble in their mistaken beliefs. To stop all the killing as advertised continually, why not as said just come out with hands in air, and except there is always a winner and a loser, if you have wives and children think of them and not their own visions of grandeur as Mr. Presidanto with all the things that go with it no doubt.

Re: EU and our PM.
No reply or acknowledgement from Cameron on yesterdays email to him, So I have written again.
.....Dear Mr Cameron
I was surprised that you are to bring in children from Europe a Safe area
there are 1400 homeless children in the NW of England that are waiting for a Foster home 100,000 homeless kids in UK
If we cannot look after our own children where are you putting the ones from Europe
MPs said 10000 kids have disappeared in Europe and 3000 are in danger in Europe
If so why are we being urged to stay in Europe I would fear for my grandchildren if that is the case
If Europe is so dangerous for kids then let us get away from it soonest
How would you rear these children would they be brought up as ******s or Christians. Are some 9 year old girls married to men in UK?
Where will they stay
And do Not forget ISIL have been sending their operatives over with the Refugees
Mr Cameron I am a Veteran of some of Britains wars and Tax Payer in this once great Nation
so I would at least expect a reply one day to my emails, I have never received a reply yet
Sincerely
Brian ,..... awaiting a knock on the door at 5am.

Re: EU and our PM.
The term 'accident black spot' has been outlawed by traffic reporters, and being replaced with 'area of traffic disruption '. That's quite a mouthful (quoted Monica Lewinski).

Re: EU and our PM.
On question time last night an audience member gave the best reason for leaving the EU that no panellist has ever spoken about during the recent debates.
To paraphrase the audience member;
"Neil Kinnock was twice rejected by the U.K. voters to become our P.M. inn General Elections, yet he has gone on to be GIVEN an EU Commissioners role where he can and does wield greater power over our democratically elected P.M. as the EU Commissioner's make laws that supersede any law made by our democratically elected Parliament. So irrespective of any economic question of whether we will be better of in or out, the question is do we want to be ruled by Westminster or by unelected members of the EU Commission. The IN group says that only by remaining a member can we influence (as if) the EU Commission but fail to answer the question as to influence the EU decision making process when any influence we MAY have is going to be further diluted by the proposed expansion of the EU with Turkey and a number of other countries are going to gain membership in the near future.
Another audience member pointed to the Example of Greece where joining the Euro had led to its catastrophic failure of its economy due to its debt mountain on loans given willy nilly by the EU and the conditions imposed upon it by the EU when the EU bailed out the Greek economy and in the process removed many of the Greek Parliaments rights to set its own rules regarding pensions, social security etc.

Re: EU and our PM.
John, saw that, theydon' like it up them!
Moody's the credit agency reports, that the EU is so fragile, that it could implode if the UK leaves. Even if we don' t leave Moody's reckons it's only a matter of time before the whole thing crashes.
Even Donald Tusk is now calling for a radical rethink, he wants less emphasis on the superstate and more on the single nations. He goes on say the the Euro superstate is a illusion. Maybe they are coming round to the berexit way of thinking.

Vic

Re: EU and our PM.
Donald Trump whatever one thinks of him as a person and views his grand style as out of this world at least speaks as he sees the world and is as of yet not beholden to the invisible men who really hold the power at present in the US. Personally I hope he goes all the way to the top job, I doubt he will not suffer fools if they don't go with his way of running things, that is if he lasts any devious assassination plots as a few of their Presidents have had in the past. There is one thing I would like to see both here and in Australia and the UK is for a lot of the power given to politicians being taken off them, as not one of them has the right as they have had in the past to sign away literally the UKs sovereignty. They have kept the people in the dark over various treatys they have signed on their own say so, they are not Rulers but servants of the people and if don't like the job description should hand their notice in, 24 hours would be acceptable.
