EU Brexit - How will you vote given the latest "news"

Re: EU - How will you vote given the latest "news"

This is akin to urinating in an ocean in an attempt to raise the water level - pointless.

We disagree Darkwood, the future will prove one of us right.

You ain't seen how much I drink

We are just bouncing off each other so will agree to disagree on the matter and yes time is the only real decider of this debate :smug2:

The UK has had mass migration from the Romans in AD 47 through to West Indians in the 50s, the country is built on it. My mothers family were French Huguenots from the 18th century. And I expect every migration in it's own way was just as acrimonious.

Andyb is correct with regards to this, our country is struggling not just through migration but through government(s) lack of investment, and that is every government for the last 30 yrs.

We have no industry, we have very little skill sets, unless it is IT or service driven. I left school and had an apprenticeship and million of others like me the same in mining, ship building, steel, car production etc. So unfortunately the following generations who are not service orientated relied on "non" skilled work. With this avenue now being cut off with "non" skilled migration, people become angry and disaffected.

Fear also is another factor. Muslim migration is a real menace. I work in an Islamic country and have on and off for 30 plus years. Islam is different, it is alien to us and unfortunately it is very aggresive in it's doctrine with regards to non muslims. I hate using the word non-believer. There is no shadow of a doubt, the Syrian influx into Europe as been used to bring in terrorists, if you think it hasn't then your living in a dream world. Merkel will loose power because of this and she knows it, it was a huge mistake on her part.

The only country that as really spoke out against it as been the UK and I believe the French and German people wished that they had a leader who also spoke against it.

Tel quoted that in the original 70s referendum nobody he spoke with voted in..........I have to admit I did. But then the EU was the common market, and I agreed with free trade within Europe, I did not agree to a United States of Europe as it as become.

Will I vote out, most likely not to be honest.

So you support corruption and false accounting then

If you voted in the UK General Election, yes.

Re: EU - How will you vote given the latest "news"

YoungScud is alluding to the fact that he actually buys the Daily Mail.

I just can't bring myself to believe that.

Didn't miss the point there then. I knew Americans didn't get irony, but...

I think you need to look at the thread title before engaging your keyboard and posting a load of dross

I believe that's my call. I've been watching this 'news' for many months now, with growing alarm. Alarm, not because I think immigration is some great threat, because it isn't. No, I'm alarmed at how readily my fellow citizebs are willing to believe whatever the MSM throw at them, not to mention social media, where videos abound of the 'hordes' of foreigners coming off ferries. I saw one last night, posted by someone I thought knew better. It purported to show thousands of Syrian refugees being shepherded by Turkish policemen (interestingly, wearing vests marked 'Polizei'), in some shots, a sea of black faces (Syrians, mind), all done with very short 1-2 second shots, clearly a simple stitch job pulling together any footage which could be made to look like a coherent report on the immigration threat. Meanwhile, we're all fired up about corruption in Europe, while we don't seem to giva a ---- about how corrupt our own society is. So, forgive me if I'm sceptical, but it's born fo a lifetime of being lied to about how good our union is, how we're all better together, and how bad Johnny Foreigner is. So here's what I'd suggest. You leave my opinions to me and concentrate on making a cogent argument for yours.

Your opinion and no one else's precludes any debate you have chosen not to or failed in a number of other threads to reply to comments made in reply to your highly opinionated, badly researched and sometimes derogatory posts

Your response above just trots out the same old dross as it appears you are the only one on here that has all the real facts so you must be right

My thoughts are that you are an angry Scots man that didn't get his way in a recent referendum and you are driven by that party north of the border that failed to make a coherent financial argument for independence

Don't bother replying to me you have been added to my ignore list as I have better things to do with my time than continue wasting my life reading your dross

Everyone is prone to this propaganda, don't judge them for sharing such stuff just correct them and explain they are the victim of a fake report, regarding the subject matter, I have followed European politics for several years now, the amount of power over our government and laws that the EU hold is now pretty substantial, yes our own inhouse government need a lot of changes and thats regardless of who is at the helm but the EU itself is an entity to itself and requires pulling apart and rebuilding, it claims to be democratic but its leaders are not elected, it pretends its financially sound but it has self written off billions in accountings it alledgedly cannot find (corruption?)... the true inpact of the recent immigration is been muffled in those countries that are mainly effected with only the biggest stories seeping out even after EU surpressive attempts (the mass sexual assaults and rapings of the new year in Germany are one example and it was hidden for several days before it got out), the fact that those countries who have had a large influx of immigration recently has seen an epidemic in rapes and assaults of resident young females is still under reported - why you ask?... well we have a referendum coming up for IN/OUT and the EU is desperate to not show immigration is effecting them negatively, if you want to get a real scope on the damage of the mass immigration has had recently then look up the problems Germany and Sweden has had recently, some of it is hard reading tbh and its definately not the kind of people I would ever want in the UK.
When a EU member has its own government elections and Brussels doesn't like who has been put in power then the EU demands they devolve the parliment until someone they want is in power (Greece), when a country votes to leave the EU by democracy then the EU ignore the result and forces another referendum until the result is in their favour (Ireland), if you ever thought any of our governments were creating a nanny state then you haven't realised the impact the EU actually has over its members and how it reacts when it doesn't get its way... if we vote out we won't be subject to what happened to Ireland as we are one of the main players here but it shows just how corrupt and power hungry the EU is, it claims it is not creating a 'State' but everything it has done and is still doing all show this to be a lie.

In this country we actually get little in the way of EU news and what is happening as the media don't see it as interesting while we paddle along side them but now we have a referendum around the corner the EU is desperate to paint a rosy picture while the media is finding some shocking things out about how it is run and exactly what impact it has on our day to day lives.. I already know a lot of it and immigration is the least of our problems as a reason to leave, the bigger picture hasn't been portrayed yet.

........ I already know a lot of it and immigration is the least of our problems as a reason to leave, the bigger picture hasn't been portrayed yet.

If I promise not to put you on my ignore list if I ever run out of ability to defend my point, would you mind painting a picture showing us what we should all be really worried about please ?


What dark secrets have you gleaned during your several years of following EU politics ?
