So what you are saying is there would be increased demand for workers. So in effect you agree that wages would increase for the majority, where the only pain would be felt by businesses who benefit from paying third world wages. |

But wasn’t involved in what produced two WORLD wars. Some will take migrants, others won't because accepting Muslims is against their culture. It ain't that, they won't even let them transit their country. The Muslim problem is looking more like the Jewish problem a century ago. That isnt what produced even one world war. Jewish haters voting in Hitler helped, Nope. He got in because Germany was in such a desperate situation economically that many of the voters decided that they had nothing to lose and that he might well be able to do something about that. He did too, doing precisely what FDR did in the US, massive govt deficit spending that got the economy going again. Agreed. Nothing whatever to do with jewish haters. Are you suggesting the National Socialist German Workers' Party manifesto didn't have clauses referring to Jews and charging interest? in very much the same way the right wing parties in Europe are receiving votes because of their stance against Muslims. They don’t have any possibility of ever driving the bus. UKIP couldn’t even managed to get Farage elected. Yes, we now have welfare. Less to get worked up about. Not many EU nationals went hungry or suffered from malnutrition. The apologist Burford will confirm. Burford is completely irrelevant. Agreed, he is irrelevant but has a hangup about apologists. |

Agreed their stances are very different where each group is/was hated for different reasons. In the 1930's there was little welfare, and so perhaps you can see why Jews were hated so much. Much like bankers in the late 2000's. Many banks have Jewish origins, hastily hidden post WW2. you're understating the difference massively Are you going to disagree that the rise of the right wing elements in the EU is enhanced by Muslim refugees entering their coutries?

That too. If they'd just stop making claims about the EI, we wouldn;t have thios or we wouldn;t have that, it'd happen anyway It wouldn't have with complete freedom of movement of EU citizens. In fact since the war there has been much less freedom of movement between countrys outside the EU and even of commonwealth citizens to Britain. just like supersocnic flight wouldn;t have happened without the EU !!!!!!!!!!

They voted for him because they decided that he might well be able to do something useful about the state of the economy. and it was in a desperate state Indeed it was and that is why they had thought they had nothing to lose by giving him a go. They were just plain wrong about that, He did too. for a while. His warmaking and genocide decimated Germany of course. It wasn't the genocide that did that, just the warmaking. Tho it is very arguable whether he had any choice on that. His massive deficit spending could never have been paid for so arguably he had no choice but to go to war so he would not have to pay it back and could just loot the countrys he did invade. |

Because some weren't too keen in the idea of Germany having nukes, or Italy either for that matter. Can't imagine why for the life of me. As regards the insulation scheme, I'd have been very interested if it had offered options for the common older Victorian house. And allowed at least a degree of DIY. But as it was implemented it looked like just another pressure group (insulating firms etc) persuading the government it would be a good idea. For only them, of course. That's what the majority of the shemes are for including PAT testing. |

Russia was never likely to start a nuclear war. http://www.history.com/news/history-...ar-close-calls Why don't you read that? Why don't you ever read what you link too? If you do then you may notice that it was the yanks that nearly went to war in each case where aggression was present. The two that were errors it was the Russians that decided not to go to war. It was the yanks that were going to war over Cuba too, they decided it was fine to have short range nukes in Germany aimed at Russia but it was worth destruction to stop the same short range missiles in Cuba. It had nothing to do with destruction, Russia was never going to nuke anyone over missiles in Cuba. |

Of course many would question just how important a nuclear deterrent is. Specially with some soggy little frigid island that isnt going to be any use to the Russians and all the rest are free to show up any time they like now. But those who want out probably consider many of those countries enemies anyway. ;-) So why don't we have a nuclear detternt for europe paid for buy the EU rather than the UK. You want the EU to pay for something without the UK contributing? Figures... |

Tim Streater wrote Well, name one MEP from your favourite party who is declining to take an EU pension. And preferably one who isn't so rich it wouldn't matter anyway. The number of people in any walk of life who would turn down free dosh is small. That's not true. Plenty of the stinking rich don’t bother to apply for a state old aged pension when that is available to everyone. And plenty more like me just can't be bothered doing the paperwork too. It's not free dosh. Part of their salary package. I have a bit more sympathy with MEPs who try to mitigate the worst effect of the EU by arguing for Britain in EU committees. Surely the idea of the EU is it works for the benefit of all? Politics is never like that in anything other and cloud cuckoo land. Absolutely no point in it if it is merely a fight between various factions trying to get the best for their own agenda. That's all politics ever is. There's more than enough of that in the UK parliament. Because that's all politics ever is. But I have none at all for Commissioners, since none of them does anything useful. There we differ. Lots of very good thing have come from the EU. An MEP who is fighting hard to put himself out of a job is Dan Hannan. Ah. Another kipper lover. Say no more. |

So one of those sausages goes up in price from £1 to £20 do I care ? It's teh Polish export market that will suffer not us fish n chip bacon sarnie pie and mash easters. where will they get their produce from when Poland refuse to sell it to their citizens in the UK because we are no longer in the EU. They ain't that stupid. They're happy to sell that stuff to the poles here and we have always had lots of them since the war too. So what's this we won't be able to trade with teh EU then ? We we doing that 1000s of years before the EU came about, and we'll do it again. we weren't in the EU in 1945 either were we.

"whisky-dave" wrote in message So I don't see the EU as teh great leap forward others claim. It clearly was with the complete freedom of movement of EU citizens anywhere within the EU. and electric light was a wonder too 100 years ago, not so amazing now. It wouldn't have with complete freedom of movement of EU citizens. In fact since the war there has been much less freedom of movement between countrys outside the EU and even of commonwealth citizens to Britain. So... just like supersocnic flight wouldn;t have happened without the EU !!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah we were talking, trading and even working togther in Europe BEFORE the EU, And endless wars between european countrys in almost every generation. yes that;s an important point and we didn't join in with the Nazis in germany in order to change them. France didn't join the Nazi's . How many joined the Nazis in Europe ? You shouldn't join a group with the aim of changing them. Poeple don't join football clubs so they can play basketball instead. if you join a rambling club you leabr to walk long istances not expect the club to take up your hobby of hang gliding. why is that forgotten. Same reason you have forgotten those wars. They aren't forgotten. We could build a plane together fastest in the world beating the USA and every other country. That never happened. Concorde was only the fastest PASSENGER plane. Only the fastest passenger plane yes built before the EU. Almost 4 years before we joined the EU. And wouldn't have happened without the EEC/EU anyway. yes it would. Airbus in spades. China and the USA mostly if concord had have just been completed today everyone would say it's because we are in the EU that we can do this. And they'd be right. Wrong as usual. |

And that's a lie anyway, most obviously with curry. You lot have always had fashion/fad stuff with food, even back in the 19th century with french cooks etc. Name a famous Polish dish, without searching google or othert search engine. Doesn't have to be famous to be fashionable/faddy enough to make some types of shops viable. I'm expecting in a few years if anyone bothers to look into it you;ll find it's a money laundering scam for a lot of those shops. Not money laundering so much as a convenient way for poles to send money home where the wife and kids still are. That is partly true Completely true except for those who chose to stay after the war had ended. although they don't need a shop to do it for them. Plenty of them still do things the old fashioned way, just like with you lot paying your electricity bills and rent etc. I wonder if they'll all close down if we leave the EU Unlikely given that there were lots of poles in Britain before it joined the EEC. Doesn;t matter how many poles therei are, Corse it does when they are the main customers in those stores. it's the food in tehm isn;t standard british, What matters is who buys them. and remmebr if we leave the EU all hope of trade dies too apparently Even sillier than you usually manage. we'll no longer get polish food the EU will refuse to supply Polish food to the UK, Even sillier than you usually manage. we're no longer ion the European market rememeber. And you weren't before Britain joined the EEC and still got plenty of food from europe, particularly once it had recovered from the war. SO who will suffer.... No one food imports wise. I've never tried the produce in those shops so if it goes up in price Why should it ? It's the exports to the EU that might well see some tariffs and quotas applied. And its unlikely that Britain will bother about imports of polish food from poland given that far more food is imported from other parts of the EU. why should I care or any other british person care. Clearly those who choose to eat imported food might well do. So one of those sausages goes up in price from £1 to £20 That isnt going to happen. do I care ? Depends on how much of it you eat. It's teh Polish export market that will suffer I doubt it. not us fish n chip bacon sarnie pie and mash easters. Britain imports quite a bit of the food it eats from europe. That's how you ended up with horse meat. The prices of what you get in aldi and lidl will increase if Britain leaves and Britain and the EU start having a mindless trade war with increased tariffs and quotas but IMO they are unlikely to be that stupid. where will they get their produce from when Poland refuse to sell it to their citizens in the UK because we are no longer in the EU. They ain't that stupid. They're happy to sell that stuff to the poles here and we have always had lots of them since the war too. So what's this we won't be able to trade with teh EU then ? Only fools have ever been stupid enough to run that line. We we doing that 1000s of years before the EU came about, and we'll do it again.

It took a while before even France and Germany got enough of a clue to decide that it was the way to go. it was the Treaty of Rome, creating the European Economic Community (EEC), or ' common market ' in 1957.
