Don't know what she sees in him.........ugly french git.
Maybe he has money.

Margaret Pilkington · 09-12-2011, 19:48

Cashy, they are all the same, not just in regards to Europe, but also in regards to the electorate here. I really thought(hoped) our MP would be different...now isn't that the triumph of hope over experience?

spin on it

Like them or loath them, Margaret, the businesses of the 'square mile crew' provide 11% of the governments total tax income(as well as the tax the 'crew' pay on their obscene salaries and bonuses).
If the Financial Transactions Tax is brought in the UK companies will pay 70% of the total raised in 27 countries! It was aimed at London by the Germans and French.
What would the companies do? They'd get out of the UK to Singapore,USA etc. What would we do without that 11% tax? More cuts, more job losses,more taxes? That would affect everyone!

Think the figure that would be lost is about £54 billion Gordon

Well said Gordon

Yes Gordon....I was listening too....through gritted teeth(well, no through my ears, but my teeth were gritted).....and yes they would leave us pronto. I truly think that is what the EU want to do....drop us in the brown smelly stuff that stains your clothes.
I actually don't care that they are giving DC the cold shoulder....now let's hope his own team give him some hot tongue when he gets back and we get a say in what goes on.

Fer my money,thats the worst position Britain could be in thanks to Cameron, we hadn't that many,but we have now "Become Billy No Mates" in the E.U. n the fact he says No Referendum needed,will leave us well goosed anyway, Time will tell.

Wynonie Harris · 09-12-2011, 22:00

Whatever the rights and wrongs of Cameron's actions, the fact is that our position in the EU has fundamentally changed forever. If we're in a minority of one, then what's the point of being in at all, handing over obscene amounts of money to an organisation which we have no say over? I reckon we should pull out, but, unlike Graham Jones, Bernard Dawson, Claytonender et al, I don't want to impose my will on the British people. I'm quite happy to have a referendum and abide by the outcome. Bring it on!

Margaret Pilkington · 09-12-2011, 22:02

Cashy with mates like that you don't need enemies.
Do you seriously think that countries in the EU are going to stop trading with us?
Anyway, the EU countries skew the criteria for contracts so that their own countries come out top of the pack anyway.
Do you honestly think that France Germany and Spain follow the EU rules and regulations as slavishly as the Brits?...of course they don't...they choose which rules suit them and follow those.
I think we have M.U.G.S. tattooed on our foreheads.....we pay in loads and get the least out of it.
I don't want to be in their gang,they don't play fair and they certainly don't play by the rules........and if they think someone has got one over on them, they take the ball and play in their own field.
