 Romanians,Pakistanis,Indians, Poles, Iraqis, Somalis, Africans,

 Albanians,Turks, Cockneys, Brummies, Liverpudlians and Glaswegiens.

I am with OINK

Everything stated is true, and as America and Monsanto etc (Russ)  are a big threat to the world and to food and the future,
a united Europe is the only thing that can stand up against the giant takeover of the world power by America.

I also agree that you should be free to roam, I do not want to spend the rest of my life living in Yorkshire in a built up town
just because I was born there - I have Irish roots too, and love living in Ireland - its more me to be at the top of the
mountain with no concrete jungle around me - plus I am breathing in clean air and bringing my child up in a much better
environment - and anyone and everyone should be able to make that freedom of choice fo where they live and how they live.

So I am a S - sorry guys, but having already got used to the Euro currency, and after studying Social Science for the last two
years, I find that although there are negative ways of viewing Europe, there are far more positives to see within the way the
structure is made, and if you look at it with open eyes and the true goals of the merger of a united Europe - it is the first step
to COMMUNITY and PEACE.


I am a dreamer too Oink - but for Freedom and peace and sharing for the world - not domination by the Americas.

Your right Sheila we can have all these without the EU. Freedom to roam is not something the Eu thought up. I have relatives and friends living all over the world. There are not many countries in the world that you can not go and live in if you are prepared to work and contribute to the economy it is only in this country that you can come sit on your a**e and claim benefits because the EU says you can. The idea of a united Europe is a good one but it would only work without the people. Rant over!!!

Yep my thoughts too. They'd have you think the UK would fall apart without the EU and America will take over the world.. Sorry but America already dictate a lot anyway and probably always will regardless and me thinks the EU needs us far more than we need them IMHO.

Loads of Brits over here sitting on their @r$es and claiming from the French Gov.  One lot have it both ways, they claim from both Uk and France.  Another came here suddenly he became disabled from a disability he had had for 30 years.  Others just have loads of kids and live off the very generous family allowance. 

Its not a one way trade!!!

This is also true in Ireland - We have brought money in the country and set up a business, but others from all over, but especially Britain are here on the dole and have no intention to work, and a lot of men are here collecting pensions from two countries and fishing all day.

Thing is, Europe do not need the UK at all, there are bigger countries with bigger populations that are truly united with the European ideals - Britain are just sitting on the fence and do not commit, but do not want to lose the benefits either - I wish they would either drop out altogether, or join fully.
