Oh poor Terry, am I rattling your cage by professing to be uninformed and in ignorance when it comes to the EU? At least I know that I am.

I’m glad you know that you are (uninformed and ignorant..) but you could’ve started a thread about it rather than ruin this one.

Because only four words allowed on the never-ending story thread.

That’s a good thing isn’t it..?

@jen_jen wrote:

I am saying that I don’t feel informed enough to have an opinion and why I don’t…am I not allowed to join in then? Or should I just go back to my little corner of ignorance

So why don’t you just post on the “never-ending story” thread..?

I have no opinion on the EU one way or the other, I don’t feel well enough informed and I’m sure I’m not the only one in that boat.

But this is a thread about the EU. :roll:

Of course nothing you find on Google and YouTube will be propagandist claptrap…Terry, you do realise that you too are a “brainwashed JC know-it-all” don’t you? Presenting a different argument doesn’t change that.

Google and youtube will give you a choice. On JC there is no choice.

You all seem to have been brainwashed into…[Read more]

Hi Terry.

Yes I understand the generalisation aspect .. I wanted to indicate there is a difference between Romanians and Romanies… as often people get the two groups confused.

“Different ethnic group and culture. Romanians are an ethnic nation who speak Romanian.
Romany is Gypsy. They live in many countries and have their own…

I’m undecided about The EU…I know over the years we have been told by politicians that its vital we are a member.. but is it? thats what I’m struggling to understand….

Mrs T,

my advice (and you can take it or leave it..) would be to do a little research for yourself rather than fall for the misleading and misguided rubbish…[Read more]

Europe has always needed Europe in one way or another and there has always been a “union,” hence the reason we went to war when Germany did not withdraw from Poland. There’s lot more examples of this union. Perhaps you should read some history books.

Just a thought.

There has always been a “union”?

And this “union” declared war…[Read more]

Romanians have caravans and are not to be trusted.

Romanians are from the country of Romania ….. Surely ?

And your point is..??

Good morning ! I have no interest in point scoring. Terry.

However, I just wanted to say …

I think you may have meant Romany ? As in Romany people…

We can have a trade agreement with them which would cost us nothing just like Norway and Switzerland…… what is it we get from Europe to justify 17.5 billion each year? More to the point do we need whatever it is?

Nobody needs the EU. That’s the whole point.

Good post, momentary.

A post that Gordon Brown would’ve been proud of.

I think there may be something less than flattering in what you have just said.

I’m off to cry.

Matthew Elliott doesn’t say what the costs would be to us if we do leave the EU in terms of how will it affect imports and exports? Will they become more expensive?

Will other EU countries refuse to trade with us?

Elliott doesn’t say what the economic impact is envisaged to be. It’ll be no good us leaving and each person saving…

Here’s a video by Daniel Hannan (an MEP) about the benefits of being in the EU.

The European Union is most commonly discussed in terms of constitutional debates, treaty negotiations, vetoes and votes. Of course, it is absolutely right that the crucial issue of the democratic deficit is addressed, but there are other reasons to be concerned about our relationship with the EU. The vast cost of the EU is foremost among them.

As…[Read more]

I think the right to vote in the referendum should also be given to the Europeans who live here as it any decision would affect them as well.

Are you saying that Polish migrants living in the UK should be given a say in the UK’s policy making?

You’re beginning to sound as daft as the sceptical guy..

I think if we do have a referendum and the arguments for and against are presented then the British electorate will vote yes.

That made me chuckle. :lol:
