Self-confessed crooks and accomplished halfwits run the EU so what's in it for the UK?

Question

This week we learn that once again the EU's own hand-picked auditors refuse to sign the accounts because of 'serious discrepancies'. In other words EU bosses were once more caught with their 'snouts in the trough'. Presumably once more they will resign en-masse and, once more, re-appoint themselves! Next we hear that their daft rules mean mega-tons of perfectly edible dead fish are chucked overboard and UK fishermen are going bankrupt because those naughty Cod, Haddock, Whiting, etc. just can't recognise a Shrimp net! Only an accomplished halfwit could have dreamed up their idiotic quota rules - and only over-zealous, brain dead British public servants could be relied upon to enforce them! So what do this collection of cretins do for Britain?

Answer 1

Destination - Paradise Island!

Answer 2

You can not have an organistation ridden with absolute corruption, when the organisation has its own auditors who you then term to be hnourable.

As for the fishing rules, it is quite simple.  Over fishing has depleted fish stocks.  If we ignore the fishing quota's there will be no Cod etc at all in the North Sea.  Now which do you think will harm the fishing industry more?

You are right in that we need a better EU, but leaving it will harm the UK and do nothing to make the EU better.  Change has to come from within.  (Though sending that corrupt Crab, Mandleson there is probably not the best thing...)

Answer 3

What they do is extremely constructive.

They stay in Europe!.

If they came over here, they would end up in the Home Office; and there are quite enough Cretins there already.

Answer 4

Our politicians are so keen on it because they want a slice of the corruption. I do not think kinnock did badly and when they appointed Mandalson (spelt wrongly) they said it all

Answer 5

It is run by lawyers who cannot make it in the big world so they find some little corner of officialdom were they do not have to think and then cream off the money granted by other political half wits.

Answer 6

Well, nearly nobody would mind, if you leave the EU!!!

Answer 7

To be different - I'll try to answer the question.  The EU benefits the UK (full name - lets be proper), but removing taxes and other barriers to UK trade within the EU, its largest trading partner.  The benefits of removing costs associated with currency trading would also have come into effect should the UK join the Euro.  It permits UK citizens the freedom to move to, visit or take up residence of any country of the EU.  IT permits UK children the right to study in Universities in other EU states at rates applicable to local citizens.  It permits UK citizens to avail of national health care facilities in other EU countries.

I agree the dumping of dead fish to keep within quotas is not reasonable.  May I ask what you feel is the solution to bring the level of fishing under control to allow fish stocks to replenish?

I agree with the earlier author, that commented the UK should really abandon the rhetoric and separate from the EU.  Then revisit the concept in a year from now.  Maybe even put together a written constitution that demands the people of the UK have to agree by majority to joining.  Just speaking for myself, I would really relish my trips to France, Spain, Portugal and the various islands of Europe without the masses of badly behaved "English"; I might actually be able to afford a villa if the hundreds of thousands of "eager Brits", anxious to leave the UK had to sell up as they no longer had residency entitlements in the rest of the EU.

Answer 8

Nothing. We should get out NOW!

Answer 9

I would have thought that would be obvious......

Answer 10

they do as little as possible while creaming off cash for themselves..

England should do as the French and only adopt policies that are advantageous to ourselves, ignoring all the rest.

unfortunately People who enter politics tend to do it for what they can scew out of the system and nothing to do with helping the rest of us.

Answer 11

UK must disassociate from the EU in order not to be involved in the corruption of the EU leaders that was discovered by the auditors.

Answer 12

They ensure jobs for retiring prime-ministers.

Answer 13

the french get EU subsidies for 50% effiency in there farms,the UK farmers get little

Answer 14

The EU is not as bad as you make it out to be. Ask the Irish, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the Greek etc and they will tell you why. The queue to join will get longer and longer and if you Brits think you are better off without it, you may quit to join the USA or wherever you wish. De Gaulle after all, was right when he vetoed your membership application for the EEC because he was well aware of your insular mentality.

Answer 15

Nothing.

Answer 16

Nothing, we put our own crooks and halfwits there and they help everyone and his uncle to rob the U.K. blind !
