can only tell you what I felt from limited knowledge

It’s ok Mrs T – most posters in here have limited knowledge when it comes to politics anyway.

With you Terry being the ultimate shining example. :D

That’s why I said religious zealots.

I know what you said, I was simply saying that not all zealots are religious…why the shock?

The original definition of a zealot was a religious fanatic.

Indeed, but the meaning of words change over time, anyone who is fanatically committed to a cause may be described as a zealot, the cause does not have to be a religious one…the beauty of a living language.

And that is why I specified religious zealots in my post, to differentiate.

“They don’t like it up ’em”

Is that a humorous quote about our old WWII enemy set in the past, or a statement about the EU from UKIP?

:lol:

UKIP.

Corporal Jones often referred to the “fuzzy wuzzies.”

This is the view that Sceptical Guy, Gordon Brown, momentary loss and Tony Blair hold on to. It’s the fear factor that holds no water and is designed to persuade the public to override their gut feelings about the corruptness of the EU.

So if we leave the EU entirely, how will we survive as a nation when the EU countries impose Protectionist trade tariffs and it costs us more to import and export?

I spend so much time arguing in favour of an EU opt out that it’s starting to bore me.
Going around in circles, trying to convince everyone that the EU is an evil (which it is) that we can do without not is what I want to do. The arguments i’ve read in favour of the EU do not convince me that my opinion is worth changing. In fact (if anything) Sceptical Guy and others have re-inforced my view that leaving the EU is an essential course of action for us to take.

You didn’t answer my question. Maybe I’ll ask it 12 times like Paxman did to Howard.

You really should go into politics. Either that or a taxi driver. They both go around the houses.
