CC Starting to like eurovision songs is the second sign of madness please seek help :lol:

Boris Johnson has made no secret of the fact that he wants to be the next Tory leader that's why he got himself a nice safe seat at the last election so with Camoron having tied his political future to this what better way for Boris to oust him than by opposing him here

I have to admit that I am now forced to learn as much as I can about the pro's and con's of this agreement so I can make an informed choice. I also think it's a distraction to cover other things that could possibly have far reaching effects on us.


I'm Voting out as there's nothing that we are doing inside the EU that we can't do on the outside at a fraction of the cost and with fraction of those red tape inducing laws and directives that it keeps spewing out, and that long with control of our own borders allowing us to decide who comes here and who doesn't come here.

Indeed, the whole idea of self determination as result of leaving the nutty EU will in itself offer a real boost to all British People and of our Industry, it'll be a tonic indeed..

A step into the Dark?..nah, a leap into the light.

PREDICTION the day we leave the EU the French will just step aside and allow Eurotunnel to get swamped with migrants and instead of any real control we will be over run

The french are our enemies not our friends we need to keep them close to make sure they don't shaft us !

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho ... 95341.html

Net migration from the EU, 172,000, saw a slight increase on 2014 and the figure for non-EU citizens was also slightly up at 191,000.

Non EU are the ones we can already stop.

You are aware that the border control on the French side of the tunnel is also manned by British immigration and customs staff.

A rather ironic turn of events..the UK shafted by a tunnel we helped build. Still, It wouldn't take much to seal it up this end and the french can use it as a giant dormitary for Frau Merkels migrants overspill, thast's if they can breathe in their with one end sealed up with a 100 yards of reinforced concrete..

What things, the things they don't know or the things they don't like?

Brown people - I think a good 30 to 50 percent of out voters are closet racists or xenophobes

It probably wont matter what they want to do. If there is no trade agreement there may be a problem.
