"You keep referring to the UK. I'm more interested in Scotland." | |||
"You keep referring to the UK. I'm more interested in Scotland. " I am interested in Scotland as a SNP member and was involved in a lot of work with the Independence campaign, but as much as I am a SNP member, I disagree with the SNP on this issue and I have already placed my Leave vote | |||
| |||
"You keep referring to the UK. I'm more interested in Scotland." Eh after the referendum last year is Scotland not still part of the UK | |||

"It benefits England and fucks us totally. We should get out, push for a referendum and then join again lol " We voted no the last time do we really need to go through all that rubbish again | |||

"Not intrest in anything to do with the eu to be perfectly honest imo its done us no good and just created problems we need to be in charge of our own country and not ask the permission of others if we can do anything" That would be a good point if it wasn't factually completely wrong. The EU provides countless things. Not least protection for Unions and Human Rights and ensuring things like clean air acts. Oh and a 40 hr working week. And Holidays. And paid maternity leave. I'm not for one minute saying it's prefect, but I for one do not want to leave things like workers rights in the hands of people like Michael fucking Gove and Boris Johnson. | |||

"Sorry we can make those policys ourselves the eu has imo caused nothing but strife ffs a cucumber has to conform to the eu " We could yes, but do you honestly think the Tories would? As for the silly cucumber and straight banana stories, they are lies. They came from reports written by an EU correspondent who was sacked by his newspaper when his lies were uncovered. His name? Why it was Boris Johnson. | |||
| |||
"Sorry we can make those policys ourselves the eu has imo caused nothing but strife ffs a cucumber has to conform to the eu " No, cucumbers dont need to conform to the EU. There used to be guidelines for the categorising of them according to size and quality, but those guidelines are no longer in use. | |||
"Ok, so if we leave, will we become trading partners like we were when it was the old EEC? But without the extra laws and costs that are associated with the EU? " Not quite, we would need to negotiate a deal similair to Norway or Switzerland, which would mean still forking over billions each year and accepting most EU laws,rules and regs. However we would not get a seat at the table when the laws, rules and regs are being decided. | |||

So why should we now? | |||

"The UK faces a "triple whammy of woe" - including footing an extra £2.4bn bill from Brussels - if it remains part of the EU The UK will face a bigger bill because of budget increases in Brussels, future eurozone bailouts, and a "£20bn black hole" in the EU finances . the UK will be "forced to hand over even more money" if voters opt to stay in the EU in the 23 June referendum . so? should we stay or should we Go? ." Haven't you already posted this? | |||

"If we leave then the housing market will crash due to eu citizens being kicked out, which will trigger another economic crisis." Or, there could be a boom, due to all the expats spread around the EU being told to f' off back where they came from | |||

The Tories lied very well If you check EU laws that are enforced over the uk they aren't ridiculous as the Brexit folk make out. Although they did let in member states when they shouldn't have and when a uk law contradicts a EU law, the EU law prevails. So just have to ponder that abit more | |||

"Scotland and the U.K. may take a hit financially upon leaving the eu but I've always thought it was more about whether we remain an independent sovereign country or be subordinate to a supra entity of highly dubious democratic ways. " The highly dubious is highly likely and highly paid too | |||

"Forget the high politics of this as ALL politicians lie. Probably over simplistic but the nearest analogy I can think of You can't change or affect the rules of a club you're not a member of, but, as you want to use the club they'll charge whatever visitors fees and apply whatever visitor rules they like. Isn't it better to be a member working to get the rules to where you'd like them to be?" you talking about golf? and the female members vote | |||

And apologising for having an opinion wouldn't make me any more of a man than I already am. Besides, the only people who could be offended by me calling them stupid are stupid people, and if they're stupid then me calling them stupid shouldn't offend them as it's fact. Look at the people trying to convince us to vote leave, then look at the people telling us to remain... now ask yourself which side is the more sensible side. If you can make a sensible argument for wanted to leave then maybe you'll convince me. | |||

"So you have basically compI led a list of half truths, hearsay, utter nonsense, tory quotes and right wing immigration pish to form your argument for the biggest vote of your lifetime... What would happen to the millions of British economic migrants living and working across mainland Europe or living out their retirementheory in Spain etc? ***Perhaps they would return to Britain and prop up our own economy rather than the EU**** What would happen to our economy if migrant workers weren't allowed to work here? ***Wages would go up for the UK lower paid**** but ofcourse you already know that Farming subsidies? Where are they coming from? There's nothing in place just yet. *** There will be, especially with the daily savings we will make when we do not have to contribute to the EU***but ofcourse you already know that Export markets? Where are our exports going to go without European trade agreements? *****TWO WORDS- FREE TRADE***but ofcourse you already know that Energy... What's stopping energy prices from rocketing? ****Energy prices are rocketing just now**** what specific type of energy would you like to take about, and ofcourse if we break away from EU Home energy costs will fall, but ofcourse you already know that So many questions are going unanswered... maybe you should look at the positive things EU membership affords us? ****I can only think of the harm that has came from EU****** " | |||
"Oh... I only just noticed your last post. I got as far down as 'working time directive'. You do know that the working time directive is there to safeguard employees, don't you? You can opt out of it by signing a simple form. How else have I managed to work 80 hour weeks for the last 7 years? Just another example of a half truth. " YES; The gutless will sign out / opt out whilst they bend over backwards to their employer tell me ??? Who is the fool? - working 80 hour weeks think about it | |||

"Stay stay stay! It's not perfect by any stretch (what is?) but better than the catastrophic risk of an EU implosion We will not get anything like equitable trading terms if we vote to leave as The EU will have to disincentivise anyone else from leaving Russia must be over the moon we are doing their job for them " I agree. Russia would love it if we left. There's a lot wrong with the EU but we have to stay in | |||

What would happen to the millions of British economic migrants living and working across mainland Europe or living out their retirementheory in Spain etc? ***Perhaps they would return to Britain and prop up our own economy rather than the EU**** so you want to force people back to the UK even though they don't want to be here? What would happen to our economy if migrant workers weren't allowed to work here? ***Wages would go up for the UK lower paid**** but ofcourse you already know that wages go up? And then so will prices and that'll fuck the economy. Also, you're assuming that there are enough qualified British people to do the jobs. You're living in a dream world. Farming subsidies? Where are they coming from? There's nothing in place just yet. *** There will be, especially with the daily savings we will make when we do not have to contribute to the EU***but ofcourse you already know that but with nothing in place already what makes you so sure? Can you really trust a capitalist government to do that? Or will they just watch that die like every other industry? Export markets? Where are our exports going to go without European trade agreements? *****TWO WORDS- FREE TRADE***but ofcourse you already know that we already have trade agreements with countries outside of the EU. Our exports to EU countries far out weight those though, so basically we renegotiate deals on far worse terms? Energy... What's stopping energy prices from rocketing? ****Energy prices are rocketing just now**** what specific type of energy would you like to take about, and ofcourse if we break away from EU Home energy costs will fall, but ofcourse you already know that newsflash. The biggest energy company in the UK is French. If the French aren't governed by the EU to cap energy prices then what? So many questions are going unanswered... maybe you should look at the positive things EU membership affords us? ****I can only think of the harm that has came from EU****** then I'm guessing your politically right wing and not willing to look for anything good. I've had time to think and reflect on my earlier statement, and I'm going to have to stick to my guns when it comes to thinking brexit fans are stupid. " | |||

"Just re read the thread, according to the op there is no rational argument or fact possible that would make anyone with a brain decide against leaving, and yet he believes it's the stay campaign who are brainwashed.

We have too many Families in Britain homeless! In workless house holds! In need of care! Our services are struggling and we don't have enough social housing for our own families and neighbours so doesn't make sense to me that we would keep our boarders open for people to freely come to Britain cause they are struggling were they are!

"Anyone who thinks that Johnson, Gove, IDS and Rupert Murdoch and George Galloway have our best interests at heart needs their head read. And yeah, Cameron and Osborne are equally crooked, but that side also have pretty much every business leader, scientist and economist in the world on it. " My thoughts exactly and the same ones that say the £350 million per week (figures that they know are wrong) that we pay could be used for the NHS are the people that are currently privatising the NHS there are lotaof Tory MPs who have an interest in private health companies and would love it to go completely private. If we do leave htose right wing brexit MPs will start to do away with workers rights and it will be aquick change they are only restrained by the EU rules just now. | |||
| |||
"I'm 'probably' still in but the fact that Cameron is leading that campaign grates with me. It started off like the Indy ref with scare after scare story. Now it's all just getting petty and playground. Right now I'm really not arsed and to be honest not even sure I will vote as I can't commit one way or the other with any conviction. That said, Boris, fuck sake, Boris. The U.K. Trump, is leading out. Where does that leave your 'got their shit together' normal human being. If only we'd made the right vote 20 months ago! B" Having saw Cameron on an IN/ Out debate I very much doubt if he realy wants the uK to stay in my opinion he wants brexit. | |||

"Incidentally, the final straw making me an in was UKIP having Neil fucking Hamilton comment on greed and corruption in Brussels Neil Hamilton FFS" Sorry - Celtic cousin here whose interested in the Scottish perspective. I can see arguments for leaving, but it amazes me that UKIP is on the march in Wales and that fool Hamilton has a seat in the assembly now. He's already embarrassed himself. I keep hearing my fellow Welsh folk saying "the EU has done nothing for me/us". It's far from perfect, but Wales is a net beneficiary from the EU! I've spent most of my working life in communities that are amongst the poorest in the UK. They have received massive amounts of support through Objective One funding etc. The same people who moan about the EU "doing nothing for us" walk on land reclaimed and environmentally enhanced by EU funding, go for jobs in factories in industrial estates built with EU money, getting there on roads dualled with EU funding. I feel successive UK governments have shown a shameful neglect for those poorest areas and I'd imagine the same is true in Scotland. What good I've seen done whilst working and living there has mostly come from funding from those faceless bureaucrats in Europe. I'm far from convinced that a right-wing government with the likes of Boris, Gove or IDS would show the slightest concern for those areas and would allow the market to rule their futures. I'm actually not a socialist - I believe Wales and Scotland needs to be more entrepreneurial and grasp opportunities e.g. in digital technologies. However, I do believe areas of industrial decline in our two parts of the U.K. need special attention and support to rectify the neglect shown over many years. I don't believe a Boris led Tory administration would give them a second thought. | |||

"If we do leave htose right wing brexit MPs will start to do away with workers rights and it will be a quick change they are only restrained by the EU rules just now. well maybe it's about time workers/people made a stand, these companies would be nothing without them, people need to realise that they are actually being made slaves. honestly doesn't make sense to me how things are the way they are, how the hell did we let these people in too decide the way we live our lives? bullshit lies, bailouts, wars, expenses, etc etc the list is huge it's not like they're intelligent, quite the opposite ffs they can't even keep a simple budget, morons. they are taking the piss, laughing at the under classes and we are doing nothing about it, have people really become that dumb and wrapped up in their own little lives, that they don't really care until something happens that affects them. too busy with soaps, BGT, X factor, social media platforms etc etc since when have we become so soft lol rant over! That is not a rant; that is spot on The majority of the UK workforce is gutless, unprepared to make a stand for their rights and will stab fellow work colleagues in the back to obtain as little as a few hours overtime. Thatcher had it right in the 80's opening up the right to buy, so everyone could hang a noose around their neck with huge mortgage and frightened to say boo or stand up for their rights with fear of being docked an hours pay. I remember sitting on the helidecks on strike in the 80's fighting for better conditions, more time off (leave) and eventually we got a 2 week on 3 week off rota, almost 30 years on oil companies have put the majority on 3/3 and everyone frightened to speak out (and that's big bear oil workers). The majority of the UK bends over backwards to take a fucking from their employer today without standing up for their rights or fighting for better conditions now that's a rant You both got it bang on and remember the blacklist that came form the north sea sit in some boys did not work for a long time after that and I remember our steward a man who was for the men did not work for 5 years, we see all the people complain about the French air traffic controllers going on strike sure it is shit when you are abbout to go on holiday but these people are actually doing something while we sit and whinge to each other about all the corruption and double dealings going on plus the austerity that seems to = take from Joe Bloggs and give to mr millionaire.

Such as Life; get used to it If you have a good job and you are a valued employee your employer will take care of visa & residential requirements.

"Ok, so if we leave, will we become trading partners like we were when it was the old EEC? But without the extra laws and costs that are associated with the EU? Not quite, we would need to negotiate a deal similair to Norway or Switzerland, which would mean still forking over billions each year and accepting most EU laws,rules and regs. However we would not get a seat at the table when the laws, rules and regs are being decided.that would be down to us negotiating we wouldnt have to accept anything the eu say. also it wouldnt happen ocernight there is a cooling period of two yrs to get these issues settled. Everything would hinge on what was negotiated" Not sure that is correct. My understanding is that like every British company that sells or provides service to another it has to reach the quality control procedures of the recipient. If the UK wishes to sell or provide anything to somewhere within the EU then it will have to conform to the EU's quality control procedures, either in product or service. Out of the EU would mean the UK could not negotiate what those standards were, but simply put up with them. By the way I'm still leave, just, but I do think it won't be until our grandchildren are drawing their pensions that the UK will see the benefits of leaving. Scary stuff this ref. | |||

"Gogsy Broon is back...new Vow coming tomorrow. B" All the termites are crawling out of the woodwork with warnings of doom if we dare to vote against the dysfunctional status quo - Major minor of ERM notoriety, Blair the warmongering psychopath who brought catastrophe to the Middle East and Broon the sociopath who thought it was a good idea to socialise the losses of the financial buccaneers and transfer that burden on to the taxpayer. These idiots also ask us to listen to the "respected" economists/guesswork pundits who failed to forecast the financial crash and who claimed that it was vital that we should adopt the euro!!! Amazing - they still think they enjoy some credibility! | |||

"I'm leaving. Fed up with the liberal elite screwing us over and dismissing genuine concerns of ordinary people. To express concern over rapid population increase through mass unchecked immigration is not racist! Threats of war pestilence famine and plague in the case of Brexit are incredible.

Just look at the record number of new cars being sold , packed restaurants and the prices people pay to attend football matches. Your pension will depend on how you invest your funds , so over time there is nothing to worry about . If we leave there will be less strain on the NHS | |||
