As a Remoaner you are free to interpret these fundamental issues as "we hate foreigners", but it goes to show how in denial the likes of you are to change in the UK. Since you already own a house and don't work, I can see why you might be Remoaning. Not one liever here has been able to say what they actually mean by sovereignty and what they actually think they are getting back. Yes, they have repeatedly said what is meant, where Parliament can enact laws they choose, and not those thrust upon them. I wonder why Ireland are not paying third parties for their water then, unlike the UK where it was sold of to the Tories friends because the EU "made them do it". Maybe if the thick pillocks that sent Farage over to Europe took a small amount of time trying to figure out what the EU did, they would realise what a waste of time their soundbites about sovereignty actual were. They might also ponder on why the other EU countries sent MEP's over to work for their national interests and not drink beer and fiddle expenses. The morons on the East coast are starting to understand that fish are not great believers in sovereignty, there will always be the odd tory supporting moron that supports the idea that the EU are keeping all the fish in the Danube though.

When I ask for some concrete reasons for leaving the EU all I get is esoteric things like sovereignty, taking back control, and the wild hopes we'll be able to do far better deals around the world. To me, it's like leaving a decent job on a whim - on the hope you'll easily find another.

You'd have to define 'ours' The Scots, Welsh and Irish have long complained about being dictated to by Westminster. Parts of England have the same view too. You are also falling into the common trap of saying the EU is united against the interests of only England. Its rather like your next door neighbours deciding what wallpaper you can have on your walls and what curtains you can hang. Ah - right. That will be why we continue to speak English rather than German, drive on the right, and have our own legal and parliamentary systems. The important thing is the colour of the curtains. Basically, it would seem you want just your own way about everything. So would most - but unfortunately for that view is the common good is more important. -- *Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

So what are you gaining that you don't already have? No penalty if the EU law is ignored. You do know that parliament has to accept any "laws" the EU passes before they are valid in the UK. Thats a lie with one class of EU edict. The fact that they do pass those laws is because they have the sovereignty to do so. Wrong again with the ones that dont require parliamentary rubber stamps. Just like they have the sovereignty to stop more than 60% of immigration but choose not to do so. They have in fact chosen to stop great swathes of the previous much freer immigration from the ex colonys. But dont have the sovereignty to stop any of the other 40% Like wise they have the sovereignty to not pay benefits but choose to do so. They have in fact chosen to not pay benefits for later children. I don't think you understand what you want is not the same as the government wants. I don't even think you understand which one of you will get what they want. We do understand that you are lying thru your teeth, as always, remoaner. |

There, in a nutshell is the remoaner stupidity encapsulated. single example: How can we make electricity cheaper without ignoring safety? repel the climate change act. The staggering naivete that thinks that all EU legislation is good and about safety shows how brainwashed the remoaners are. EU legislation is about political virtue signalling and promoting and protecting (chiefly German) industry against competition from the rest of the world. Thanks for confirming what seems to be a typical Brexiteer view. All EU legislation is political. Just shows how little they know (or care). BTW, don't you think it rather odd a country like France would be happy with legislation designed to protect German industry? Because they get the quid pro quo with legislation designed to protect very inefficient French agriculture and with Airbus and cars befit from the legislation designed to protect all EU industry too. Germany just happens to have rather more industry that France. |

I doubt that the present incarnation of the EU could really be bothered to attempt to stop the UK even if we had not gone down the negotiated path that is happening,once all the posturing is over the German and French equivalents of Harry will be celebrating at having got rid of a country that was only halfhearted in its membership and wanting special treatment most of the time. If a more malevolent incarnation of the EU wanted to hurt Britain then not much force would be needed. Just close off the Ports in the Netherlands ,Belgium,France. Spain ,Portugal to shipping to and from the UK and like wise with European airspace and that would include the Atlantic approaches under Irish Control or if not actually close them just charge a lot. That would upset those who got used to having cheap holidays in Spain etc. At the moment those markets still want the Brits for economic reasons but as the Eastern states improve economically Poles etc will take their place.

The staggering naivete that thinks that all EU legislation is good and about safety shows how brainwashed the remoaners are. EU legislation is about political virtue signalling and promoting and protecting (chiefly German) industry against competition from the rest of the world. Thanks for confirming what seems to be a typical Brexiteer view. All EU legislation is political. Just shows how little they know (or care). BTW, don't you think it rather odd a country like France would be happy with legislation designed to protect German industry? TBH the French are never happy are they? They are pretty happy when you lot end up face down in the mud. |

You seem to forget the real reasons such as a shortage of housing, stagnation of wages being propped up by the minimum wage and a lack of infrastructure to match the level of immigration. |

To me, it's like leaving a decent job on a whim - on the hope you'll easily find another. Just as true of joining the EEC in the first place and more than half of you lot have decided that it turned out to have been a bad choice. |

As a Remoaner you are free to interpret these fundamental issues as "we hate foreigners", but it goes to show how in denial the likes of you are to change in the UK. Assuming you are a good Tory, you actually want the wages of the lowest paid to go up substantially? That will be a first... I think the current policy of increasing the tax threshold to remove the lower paid from income tax is a better idea than artificially increasing wages. The Torys have actually done both, most obviously with the increase in the legal minimum wage. |

Its about making our own decisions, rather than having them made for us by a near neighbours dictating to us. Its rather like your next door neighbours deciding what wallpaper you can have on your walls and what curtains you can hang. Its nothing like that. It is in fact precisely like that. |

No mention of a business us was made, the exception was jars specifically made for re-use like Kilner Jars. Brexiteers appear to recall many things that have never happened. I suspect that they get their information from dubious sources and just repeat the lies without any thought or maybe they just lie because they think it supports their cause. On this NG at least, almost exclusively the Mail and the Express. Bet most of them dont bother with any newspaper at all anymore. It makes you wonder what this country has come to :-) |

I doubt that the present incarnation of the EU could really be bothered to attempt to stop the UK even if we had not gone down the negotiated path that is happening,once all the posturing is over the German and French equivalents of Harry will be celebrating at having got rid of a country that was only halfhearted in its membership and wanting special treatment most of the time.
