kent_white Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Just having a look through the 'in' team and I notice that June Sarpong is part of the board. I had no idea such intellectual giants were going to be leading the fight. Is Phillipa Forrester leading the 'outs'? Quote
gonzo Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Tony Anstis and The Sammyad are firmly in the no camp. Quote
heywoodwhite Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Tony Anstis and The Sammyad are firmly in the no camp. Is that No we don't want to leave or no we don't want to stay in? Its all very confusing Quote
no balls Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 They're having s T4 on the beach rally concert with McFly reforming and performing a few anti EU protest songs from their new album. All proceeds go to UKIPs campaign. It's like Red Wedge all over again Quote
birch-chorley Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I'm in We should do a poll on here to see how the land lies with the good folk of WW Then do another closer to the time to see if it's changed (I'd do it myself but I'm a lazy bastard) Quote

no balls Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Currently out but will listen to the debate before deciding. Quote
kent_white Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 I don't think anybody can properly understand the complexities and unintended consequences of being either in or out, so it might as well come down a heart rather than a head decision. I'm edging towards out - just because I feel like we're gradually homogeonising into a 'superstate' if we're not one already. Plus I don't like June Sarpong. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 In for cheap booze and polish tradesmen etc. Out for smelly layabouts coming over here on the scrounge. Quote

Site Supporter Cheese Posted October 12, 2015 Site Supporter Posted October 12, 2015 Longest European peace-time in human history since the EU was created. Needs a massive investigation into the corruption side of it, but it's better than millions of us marching to our deaths for fuck all. Stay in, but negotiate the intricacies is my stance. Biggest fucking problem in politics is transparency, and the EU is almost as bad as FIFA when it comes to that. Quote
MancWanderer Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Out. But it would need a strong government to make it work and we haven't got that right now Quote
Members bolty58 Posted October 13, 2015 Members Posted October 13, 2015 I am more concerned about a fit up like the first time around. I have yet to meet anyone who voted to go in. Gut says out and forge an even closer and larger relationship with the USA. Brain says being allied to Germany in particular is a good thing but do we want all those bone idle sunbathers from Southern Europe as a constant millstone around our neck? We already have Scotland to fulfil that function. Quote

Sometimes government has to take a risk to develop more... Quote
Maggie Tate Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 OUT All well and good if you can cope with being in as it stands now but it does not resemble what we signed up to join and will have gone further in the same direction in the next four decades till we're asked again. Quote
Whites man Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I am more concerned about a fit up like the first time around. I have yet to meet anyone who voted to go in. That's because they didn't have the chance to. The referendum was on staying in and not joining. (Just picking up the slack whilst Malcolm is on his coach holiday to Devon & Cornwall. It's St Ives today.) Quote

(Just picking up the slack whilst Malcolm is on his coach holiday to Devon & Cornwall. It's St Ives today.) Fair point. Wilson, Heath then Wilson again had their grubby little hands all over it and we were stitched up before we even had a say in the matter. OK then, to be precise, I have yet to speak to anyone who voted in 1975 to stay in. We were never consulted about whether we should join in the first place. Quote

The club we voted to stay in has now morphed into something totally unrecognisable. The big draw back then as i seem to remember was that the public were sold on "cheaper food". The real agenda was that the British farmers were guaranteed fixed prices no matter how much they produced. Most politicians bought into it because there was "jobs for the boys" and there still is.

As I was going to St Ives I met a man with seven wives Of course, the seven wives weren't his But here in France, that's how it is. RD, 1989 Edited October 13, 2015 by MalcolmW Quote
