CC. I am open to have my post torn apart constructively! What I was/am looking for, is the reason/s that you see as to why we should be staying.........I genuinely cannot see a single reason as to why we should stay.
The deprived areas of the UK have benefitted from EU investment - sure if we didn't pay into the EU we could have invested in them anyway, but personally I aint really sure the government actually would.
I mean when Thatcher finished industries off that was it - straight to the dole office - its not as if she or any other government for that matter actually gave a stuff about those affected.
If we have issues with the EU then they should be addressed by our membership - non membership gives us no say at all.
If we still want to export into the EU we are still going to be tied by all those regulations - or standards as they are also known - we will have no say in the making of those standards as we currently do.
The ease we have moving around the EU shouldn't be sniffed at either.
I don't think I've been brainwashed as bloodnock put it - I think the opposite - we have a press that is almost unified in its right wing hate against the EU - so perhaps I'm actually not the brainwashed party here.
There's been many myths and untruths spouted about the EU over the years - when you assess them they are nearly all the imagination of the press and a gullible public.
Your train of thought seems to suggest that if you want to alter the club (EU) you have to be a member of it, which we don't, so your argument doesn't apply to us.
You know and I know that there are sections all over the place in European law, article this, article that, like not being able to deport a terrorist because it interferes with his human rights of not being able to have a family life. European law having to accept European students who now owe 27 million pounds which according to the government we will never see paid back. A billion pound plus in foreign aid to pay for what? Some flaming lookalike girl band etc. The CRB or whatever it's called now, this country cannot refuse to give taxi applicants a licence if his country cannot provide the necessary documentation that we the British people must provide, otherwise no licence for us, it's about time we got our laws back so that the British are no longer second rate citizens in their own country.
On the news today it seems that Liverpool council have suddenly clicked there is more to life than the EU as foreign investors are flocking to invest hundred of million of pounds into this city, but keep waving the European flag until you wake up one day and remember you are British.
When was the last time Brussels had their accounts signed off. I'll tell you - never, and only a mug would trust them.
