You’ve got the Eastern European revolution to thank for that, and some of the people that say we should stay in the eu, have the hypocrisy to moan about the wages :confused:

You willing to pay 20-30% more for your weekly shop at Tesco? You willing to pay an extra 5k for you new car? You willing to pay an extra 3k a year in indirect tax?

You can’t have it both ways.

78% of our economy is generated by services, they sell to the EU from banking to insurance, we will lose half or so of those rights once we leave the EU, the French and Germans can’t wait to slap on some extra import tax for us to do what we do best, do you really reckon we can survive post referendum if we stick two fingers up to the rest of Europe? How many cars do you reckon we can sell to Germany post referendum? Don’t you think the Germans will protect their own industry and raise the import duties on our cars? How about the rest of our manufacturing? Do you really think that the French and the Italians will let us do what we do and sell to them being outside of the EU for the same price that we do now? Of course not, they will protect their own,.

Leaving the EU is an idyllic notion, something that will make us feel good for a day or two until the realisation hits that we actually need the EU for our jobs and our exports.

I have a family member who works pretty high up in a US bank in the City and she has been send an email stating that they would move to Frankfurt on the 25th if we vote out, there are 32,000 in her department, yes thirty two thousand. The services industry would be decimated and be very careful before you gloat, that is 78% of our GDP, we would lose millions of jobs, just so we can restrict some Romanians from importing our wanted goods and dropping them into our local Tesco RDC.

Yes I’m willing to take the chance at paying more for shopping, taxes and bills. Because there’s an equal chance of wages going back up to pre eastern invasion rates to compensate. Like you say, you can’t have it both ways

If we can’t sell our cars to the EU, if we can’t sell our services from banking to insurance and everything in between to the EU because we are no longer a part of it, if all of our banks have to move to Frankfurt and all of our manufacturing gets hit with import duties but we still have to abide by all EU regs because some baker in Wilthsire sells one loaf of wheat bread to Luxumbourg so we have to abide by all EU directives and have to accept the free movement of people do you really think that the off chance of wages going back up before we are hit with some serious inflation in the third quarter and lose it all is really worth it?

That isn’t taking a chance, that is cutting of your nose to spite your face; crap, that is cutting of your torso, to leave a toe to be happy in some Walhalla for a day or two.

The EU is ■■■■■, the alternative is utter destruction of what we have build over decades.

This whole debate is pointless, we aren’t going anywhere the status quo will prevail, it just makes sense.

We are not going to leave the EU, anyone thinking or hoping otherwise is seriously deluded.

I totally agree. Walking away from your biggest market place and giving them 2 fingers and think it will be ok is ■■■■■■■ insane.

There will be a bonfire of working conditions, down to 20 days holiday a year and £9 an hour will be the overtime rate. But you won’t need to worry about Romanians they will stay were they are because least in the EU they will have a chance of a job.

I cant see Cameron allowing us to split away no matter how the vote goes. I dont know anyone who wants to stay in but since it it is more appeasing (to those outside our borders) to remain then he will ignore the referendum results and publish a close win for staying in. Possibly similar percentages as the Scottish referendum. The British nationals are at the bottom of his priority list

He can’t over rule the referendum result. It’s written into law that parliament must respect the result.

Well we’re all entitled to our opinions, you think mine is mad, I think yours is worse. That’s the fun of the debate, I’m not saying either of us is wrong, just that there is as much chance of my scenario happening as yours, and the reason for that is nobody knows what would happen if we come out. You asked if I’d take that risk, all I did was give an answer

Yes you can. “Price Discovery” dictates that if you don’t like something “at that price” - you leave it. How long do you think Supermarkets could push 20-30% higher costs onto it’s customers before getting bogged down in a cut-price war that would waste over half of them out there?
With non-essential items - the option to “leave it” is even easier to do. I think new cars are too expensive for example, so I refuse to buy a new one unless I can get it for £5000 at current prices. I don’t gain or lose - but the car manufacturers who’ve failed to sell me a single new car in my entire life - lose whatever I’ve spent on old bangers over the years instead.

78% of our economy is generated by services, they sell to the EU from banking to insurance, we will lose half or so of those rights once we leave the EU, the French and Germans can’t wait to slap on some extra import tax for us to do what we do best, do you really reckon we can survive post referendum if we stick two fingers up to the rest of Europe?

How about the rest of our manufacturing? Do you really think that the French and the Italians will let us do what we do and sell to them being outside of the EU for the same price that we do now? Of course not, they will protect their own,.

That entire paragraph suggests you’ve been sucked into the Big EU bluff - that they really would cut off their noses to spite their faces. Britain is an island, and would benefit from shutting down some of it’s cross-land trade routes in favour of extra shipping routes instead. That would mean both less foreign trucks on our roads, more internal runaround work for British truckers, a LOT more work for our merchant navy - which few other EU countries have in any degree, and no obligation whatsoever to do any deals with the wider EU we don’t like the look of. If Germans want to stop flogging us cars and French flogging us wine - then there’s plenty of other places we can get those goods from instead. In no way do we ever need to pay a fine to get some trade route that actually loses us money in any case. We make money on our “rest of world” trade routes - but lose money on our EU trade routes. That suggests very much that we’d be better off without them altogether. Either we leave and possible destroy the EU - or we let the EU destroy Britain. It’s a failure for every nation that net contributes to it - except Germany. To even consider “remaining” would be like allying with Hitler in 1939 as our “response” to the Germany of the day invading Poland… Brexit is the UK gambling away the EU’s possible future - not ours! We’ve already got experience in running an empire - “Europe” keepS falling apart into petty wars each time a local power rises up and tries to “unite” the rest.

In Chinese Whisper terms the original feel of the public discontent has been lost in the white noise of the politically correct shouting over the thug class…
What started out as:-
“We disapprove of Illegal immigrants from outside the EU” has been morphing into…
“We dislike illegal immigrants”
“We dislike immigrants”
“We hate migrants”
“We hate Eastern Europeans”

when what we should really be saying is that “We fear Muslim illegal immigrants outbreeding us once they get over here”. How many unattached Muslim women come over here? - Very few. How many of those few marry a Non-Muslim White British Male? - Do any of them? How many Muslim Males from abroad get hitched to a non-Muslim white British female - and then insist that she convert to Islam though? Muslim conversions of Britons: Many. Conversions of incoming Muslims to - Close to None!

The Eastern Europeans, on the other hand, have NOTHING to do with all this - but end up getting all the flack that’s been bounced into them by the politically correct chattering classes using the “Chinese Whisper” style sequence I’ve listed above.

Leaving the EU is an idyllic notion, something that will make us feel good for a day or two until the realisation hits that we actually need the EU for our jobs and our exports.

It does seem idyllic at times to want to survive in the face of external threats on more than one front. Perhaps we should have surrendered to Germany when they succeeded in beating France in days…
The pundits for surrender could say “Britons will die in large numbers of we insist on continuing this war” or “Hitler has offered us a generous deal as part of a ceasefire accord” (which never got to see the light of day under “secrecy laws”) The difference between then and now - is that back then we had Chamberlain fighting for “peace in our time” which completely failed. He left, was replaced by Churchill, and the rest is history.
If Brexit do not win this referendum, it’s only a matter of days until some EU twit provokes a public breakdown in this country - and we’ll all realize albeit too late - that Outgoing cameron has done more to propel us towards WWIII than anyone else on Earth. Why? - Because by this point - we will be faced with the choice of “Fight to get out now we’ve given our right away to leave democratically” or "Let the EU demonstrate what “hate ■■■■” is all about - by further elevating our elites, whilst pushing ever further down our working classes. Dominance of the MegaCompanies will be just the start of it.

Testiculae Maxima.

Our vote should be based upon our own personal circumstances. If you’re living it up large right now, and have been since the Credit Crunch - then sure! - It’s your own nest that’s been feathered, so go on right ahead and vote Remain. If your life has been “less than top hole” though? - It’s your public duty to vote Brexit - because no one else will help you if you fail to help yourself with this last opportunity that will likely be offered in our lifetimes.

Bang on winseer, I’d like to add I only used the Eastern Europeans as a reference point for suppression of wages in the 2004 expansion of the eu. The people don’t scare me, and I have nothing against them, because I’m not a hypocrite and admit I’d be heading for Kraków this afternoon if I could earn 2k a week. But further expansion to allow Turkey in does scare me, as do the waves of Islamic migrants sweeping Western Europe that will only increase further if we don’t shut the door on June 23. I see Brexit as a matter of national security as well as national pride. And we’re definitley more likely to be in WW3 inside the union than out

I’ve got a few EE friends - but none here from the “middle east” let’s say.
It’s appalling how the “blame culture” has been clearly shifted off the criminal, illgal, “pretend” asylum seeker from the Middle East/Africa regions - onto the “got a job straight away, tax-paying work-alongside” Eastern Europeans.

Even merging together “Illegal Immigrant” with “Migrant” in their attempt to de-criminalize the middle eastern/african lot - has ended up tarring the EEs with the same brush. NOT fair on them is it?
THen… you’ll get a party like UKIP called Racist on a daily basis because they are “strongly against illegal immigrants”?

That label should have been easily spotted as “shifted propaganda” the moment the nearly-all-white EEs were being inflicted with this label - not UKIP’s intent of course.

Political correctness has made an absurdity of the entire situation. We can’t separate off the Criminal and Terrorist elements from the decent ones who really DID have a job lined up when getting here from ex-soviet countries. The EU and NATO has got a lot to answer for with it’s ongoing “Insistence” that “the old soviet block” remains as the enemy whilst we should keep on feeling sorry for pretend asylum seekers, pretend Syrians, and even pretend qualified persons - all scrambling to get over here and bolster up our already bloated black economy and weaken our public services…

Eastern Europe is NOT our enemy. Pretend asylum seekers are - that shouldn’t have ever been allowed into the EU at the mediterranean end in the first place. :imp:

If anyone is really running away from some oppressive Muslim regime - then let them renounce that damned religion as a condition of entry into this country FFS. :angry:

“Apostasy upon Entry” - a policy easily doable once we’re out of Europe, but impossible to get past the Strasbourg HRC whilst we remain within THAT.

Under Magna Carta - it should not difficult to insist upon anyone with “no papers” to renounce their entire previous life, come to that. :bulb:
If anyone feels a “right” to retain their old life, old religion etc. then let them bloody well prove who they are first - by bringing some papers with them - and their spare women too! :imp:
