L for ME TOO!!!
What I can't understand is - if there are so many people in the UK who don't want to remain members of the EU  why are we still there?

[RUSTYME]

do I really need say anything ? ...well for the record I am  L .

 Funny how 80% of Germans want out ... the same for the UK ... but STILL they ignore what we want . Thats why their cries of stable government for the good of the nation was just a load of crap !!!
 It costs the UK £103 billion  to be part of the EU every year . After  all the FREE ? grants we get and the pay outs ... we are still -£57 billion every year (thats about £1000 from every man woman and child in the UK , every year  )and it is set to rise by huge amounts from now on ...not just a few million ..but by 10's of billions each year .
 Oh and why do we have so many foreign workers over here , and the former UK government say they can do nothing about it as it is all to do with free movement within the EU !!! CRAP ... they agreed to let them in and get money back for doing so ....

cheers

[Rosemary]

[Sandy]

So what are the benifits of being in the EU? I vote L too!!!

[oink]

Sorry guys, and no I'm not taking the piss, I love the EU.  I'm 100% S

Seriously I really would like to hear from someone who could tell me about the perceived benefits to the UK being part of the EU. I genuinely can not see anything so if anyone out there can enlighten me then I would welcome the debate... So go on if anyone on TAS knows why the heck we're in it still or why govnmt think it's good for us really please enlighten me cause I just can't see it but hell maybe I'm uninformed.. I'm listening just what are the arguments for because I honestly don't know..

[Helencus]

Good. So go on oink tell me why is this good for our nation?

[hexhammeasure]

I'm an L too but I can think of one good reason to stay part of EU...   Trade. If we weren't part of the EU the negative members would boycott our products... unfortunately we still need to sell our products abroad and to buy in raw materials for our (small) production companies

[Helencus]

Understand that Ian and that was always the premise of the EU Free trade.. But really do we get enough out of he eu to justify the billions spent? Doesn't it cost us so much more? This was only ever meant to be for trade but it's become a federal state that dictates our countries laws and we have to pay in and bow down. How much benefit do we really get to our trade industries? Does this really out way the cost? I'm not convinced and the truth is neither is the huge majority of Uk citizens.

[hexhammeasure]

I'm thinking mainly of the farmers who get a decent price because france buys a lot of our beef and lamb.. without that trade our beef and lamb prices would drop by 1/4 overnight farming would be devestated by that


PS I did say L !!

[Helencus]

Lol I know you said L  I just struggle to believe there really is an argument that holistically covers why we should be there. I know there are incidents where we may benefit but as a whole why???
