the french would say that wouldnt they!!
If only we could pull the plug and fill that bloody tunnel with water. It's been nothing but trouble since it opened
We've had the referendum. Get over it. Nobody said the EU did all those things. Oh, and here's me thinking it was the EU that made laws and regulations without representation. We might get it wrong now and again, but if we do, it'll be our mistake and up to us to put right. Viva la Grande Bretagne!!
Now there's a wish I've had since before the damn thing was finished!
I've said it before and I'll say it again
If the EU is such a wonderful thing why is it that only poor countries are wanting to join ???
I'm more than willing to stand corrected if someone can tell me some rich and powerful nation that is banging on the door to join
As said above the people voted get over it and stop talking this GREAT BRITAIN down as negative comments and images with do nothing but bring misery and conflict
Because it's all about creating a Socialist superstate. It was tried once(USSR) and, after 70 years of misery for all but the political elite, it was found to be a failure. Now the intellectuals and academics in western Europe want to have another go.If the EU is such a wonderful thing why is it that only poor countries are wanting to join ???

How very existential!anyone that think all that will go away (or would never have happened) in a UK outside the UK is delusional
Perhaps, but the overall context of EU law is primarily to ensure fair competition within a single market by bringing all countries up to a common standard.EU law has one single purpose. To enforce the objectives of the EU treaty agreement. The EU laws are focused mainly in the areas of the environment, food safety and human rights (including employment rights)
The problem with Europe is that policy has been left-leaning for far too long.The problem in Europe is the prominance of the far right not so much the far left.
Heaven forbid! Scary prospect.I'm amazed that a rucksack of semtex hasn't done it already
OK so aside from the fact that turkey's not strictly speaking in Europe yet they are OK to join "if they meet the needs "
What your saying is that there are only poor countries left to join ? So given that therefore it stands to reason that the amount of money pledged by the richer countries has to increase in order to fund the "growth" of the EU !
Well that's a great reason to stay in my opinion then
