Please don't put me through this ever again.

The other factor is that many people's views don't fall neatly into conventional party lines and may include opinions that are actually contradictory in a party political sense. You can see many examples of this on Accyweb from those who claim they are traditional Labour/socialist types, but who espouse right wing Tory views on immigration, law and order and more.

Well I'll have to agree.. if people feel so strongly about leaving the EU UKIP is the only sort shift.. but what about UKIP's views on no jobs for pregnent women?.. or the policey of abolishing the minimum wage?

It absolutely stinks, mate, just as much to me as it does to you. But, as I keep saying, you gotta think of UKIP as a sort of stalking horse. Lots of us vote for 'em and it puts the wind up the big two, so they start listening to our concerns on Europe!

Re: Are you sick to the E.U.?
They want to squeeze more money out of us and they can't even spend the money they've got properly. Yet ANOTHER critical report from the EU auditors...for the 18th year in a row!

Re: Are you sick to the E.U.?
You beat me to it Steve.
And the EU wants to ban books like The Famous Five and Paddington Bear. This is because they represent a traditional family where Pa goes out to work and Ma look after the family.......isn't that some kind of fascism?

Famous 5 - seek asylum
The Curious Case Of The Too Curved Bannana ( possible 18 title)
Planes Trains & Automobiles - it dosnt matter which just hang on tight until past immigration
All books will be written in 5 languages that no one gives a damn about

Re: Are you sick to the E.U.?
And now the jumped-up little nonentity at the head of the EU is trying to screw more money out of us...
EU tries to grab £6bn from Britain's EU rebate - Telegraph
Has Cameron got the bottle to tell him to get stuffed? It's to be hoped so, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Re: Are you sick to the E.U.?
Wondering if any of you EU fans can help me out ... Does the EU have a foreign policy? And if it does, who is the EU supporting in the new Palestinian crisis? I know that the governments of the United States and of Canada stand firmly behind Israel's right to defend itself from the nutbars of Hamas, but I was just wondering if the EU had any definite position ... other than grovelling to the extremists? And if the EU does have a position, does it differ from that of the UK?

Yes it does, anyone that doesn't come from Germany or France is an 'Untermensch'.

I realize the Germans have already done their bit to solve the Jewish problem. Does that mean that the German led EU is prepared to stand behind Hamas as they attempt to complete die Endlosung? If the EU does support a "peace" based on letting the Palestinians get their own way, it makes one wonder if anyone of the bureaucrats in Brussels has taken the time to look at a map of the Middle East.
I wonder why the frogs and the nazis are so cozy these days It's not as if they have a history of being buddies. Maybe it's because they are the only members of the Union who have experienced economic growth in the recent past. Germany with an unemployment rate of 5.4% as opposed to what? ... about 25% for the PIGS. I sense a slight imbalance in the Force.

They were quite cosy right up until the Normandy invasion, the French had the Germans to blame, but could get on with treating their own like ****, the Germans had cheap labour, then the allies went and cocked it all up.
No wonder they hate everyone else.

I think you are right. Maybe the frogs would have been friendlier to the UK if it hadn't been for Mers-el-Kebir ... even though I don't think this should have been too much of a problem; after all, the sinking of French fleets by the British was quite a normal occurence. Come to think of it, some aspiring popular historian could write a book about it. "From Sluys to Mers-el-Kebir: Six Hundred Years of French Naval Ineptitude." If I weren't so old and lazy ... and stoned a lot of the time ... I might attempt it myself.
