The EU has been great for Britain don't you agree?

Question

Think of all the marvelous things they have done for our nation?

Answer 1

Yeah, I'm a Turkey voting for Christmas.

Just stamp on my head, Mr Brown, with a Polish made boot!

Answer 2

An unmitigated disaster.

Answer 3

Absolutely marvelous.

It helps my friend to keep his Alzheimer's at bay.  As I have to keep questioning him about the cost of gasoline/petrol in the UK.

He has a mathematical formula that brings the liters to a UK Imperial gallon then to a US gallon.

It's good for a laugh when he tells me the cost.

The complicated reasoning excites his neurons and stops them from becoming sticky and prevents Alzheimer's.

Way to go EU, for preventing Alzheimer's in the UK.

Answer 4

like you sound so serious .........not.

EU .........yeah right perfect..............not

Answer 5

You know that I don't !!

Our "reward" for defending the rights of other european countries to exist today, through two devastating World War's is to have our country "invaded" and it's state services "raped & pillaged" by immigrants, while the same countries that we "saved" plot our demise and forced assimilation into a United States of Europe !

Shame on them   !!

Answer 6

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

Peace for 63 years. I think that's marvellous.

Answer 7

Get your point (sarcasm) but hold on their is another nation that started off as individual states and it is now the richest nation on earth.  OK so it is run by an idiot and full of idiots and is treated like an idiot by the rest of the world.  Just think we could be next.

Answer 8

do I detect sarcasm there? lol

The worst thing we did was to become part of the EU.

I just hope we keep the £ - if we go Euro we will be devaluing our gold reserves - and our economy will be even more trashed than it is now.

Answer 9

<Sarcasm> Oh, absolutely! Can't think how we ever muddled through before! </sarcasm>

Answer 10

No,it`s the worst thing that has ever happend to us!.

Answer 11

Yes, I agree, a bl--dy disaster. Lets remove two red herrings that keep cropping up when a question like this is asked. Firstly, it was NATO that kept the peace, how the h**l did the EU keep the peace during the last 63 years, when it hasn't existed that long, and hasn't had an army of its own. Secondly, comparing the evolution of the United States with that of the EU, is farcical. The EU comprises separate Nation States, each with their own culture, language, currencies, legal systems, armies, flag, traditions and religious practises. Many have been nation states for centuries, sometimes at war with each other.

The U.S. states have never been independent countries with separate identities as defined above. Following their success in breaking away from Great Britain, they developed as a federation, the separate states, are mainly for administrative purposes, a little like the counties in England.

Europhiles seem to have no end of tricks to try and convince the unwary that entering the EU is no big deal.

Answer 12

I do agree. Britain would be much worse off without EU.

For start, Britons would never be able to move freely across the continent and buying properties in Spain, France or eastern and central Europe.

Enjoying b***s and booze in Bratislava or Prague would be next to impossible and MUCH more expensive. Of course, a Brit would have to wait in a long line for NON-EU passport holders.

All imports, that's pretty much 99 percent of everything in the shops, would be much more expensive.

Negotiations at World Trade Organization and IMF would be painful for Britain since it wouldn't have support of the other EU countries against the USA, Japan and China.

Premiership will be an anonymous league without the influx of European players who would be put off by work permit restrictions since Britain wouldn't be part of free labour market.

Agriculture would die without EU subventions, exactly as British car industry died. Vauxahal, a rebranded German Opel, would cease to exist, there would be no Japanese car makers based in the UK, since they wouldn't be able to take advantages of the common market and duty free zone the EU is now. Of course, no new Mini or resurrected Rolls and Bentley.

Of course, no good coffee or normal meals, no chefs inspired by continental cuisines.

Britain would probably be in the middle of energy crisis since all British owned gas and electricity would have gone bankrupt - they're owned mostly by continental companies.

Answer 13

.......What for instance?....All I can see has happened is our Government has given millions to the EU of tax payers money for the privilage of being in it..

Answer 14

Yes of course they have, they keep telling us so so it must be true as the Brussels Junta can tell no lies. They have given us French measure, completely open borders, fish stock that are being exhausted, roads being destroyed by overweight foreign lorries. Yes after the Romans they have been very good for Britain. the only thing left is to allow them to have all our money in gratitude, isn't it?
