Not sure I would ever vote for them, well actually I'm certain I wont, but Farage does some lovely speeches ripping the sh** out of the EU.

If you choose to believe the press and the likes of UKIP its up to you - personally I like to hear both sides of an argument before I make my mind up.

After Full Fact contacted the UKBA, they confirmed that no published breakdown is available for the types of offences these people served a sentence for. Such information could be obtained by a freedom of information request, but no such requests seem to have been made.

So while we know that there are just under 4,000 foreign national offenders living in the community subject to deportation, there's no evidence as to how many of these are guilty of the offences being suggested.

The truth just isn't popular when it comes to the EU. BS is much easier to swallow :wink:

Not that I am in full support of the EU, of course, some things going on there would more justify the name "Eeeehew", than EU, f.ex. that I have just heard they want to introduce privatisation of water supply, like it has been practised in the UK, which would basically mean, at the same costs for the consumer, less water quality and lower incomes for the workers and higher profit for the bosses.

So, I only fly the EU flag like this

Still, I fear that when England leaves the EU, Scotland will leave UK and when at the same time, which is likely (or high time) the City of London will lose more influence on world-economy, all the country will still have is a world-language and be reduced to be one giant language school.

Anyway, Cameron is only haggling for a bigger slice of pie, I don´t think a British exit is likely after all.

Ah but do you think he will get a bigger slice of the pie, or a big juicy EU raspberry?

Yeah, you´re right, I was never that much a fan of pie dishes, when I was in the UK. :wink:

We are NOT European, we are islanders, our island is called ENGLAND, we are ENGLISH since 1066 no-one has invaded, though a few have fancied having a go, over the channel is a place called EUROPE, where EUROPEANS eat frogs, snails, horses, sour cabbage, pasta (ha!) and other things which are frankly not normal, their beers are weak (our cat p1sses stronger stuff) and they drive on the wrong side of the road, they have wine lakes and grain mountains all paid for by.....well, us sometimes

lets get the fck out of it ASAP

some its OK for a holiday but you wouldnt wanna live there
