Now recognising that we have different nationalities on this site, and seeking to test Krizons new found preference for withdrawal (so to speak). I thought I'd try and set up yes/ no poll. I've tried to separate the UK from the rest, so those of you who aren't UK residents, could you please vote in the rest of Europe poll please (which in effect is likely to be 90% Irish). Now I realise I can't enforce this and those of a suitable mischievous ilk could vote twice, but this would only really serve to spoil the exercise as one of things that might (or might not emerge) is a distinctly different appetite on our septic isle
 
"Our septic isle"... okay, it's gone down the pan a bit, and we're no longer as flush with cash as we used to be, but that's a bit harsh, Warbs.
 
I don't know how to vote. Culturally I am all in favour. But as someone who despises bureaucracy, believes their should be a radically smaller state and that governments should govern, rather than manage; there is no way that I could vote to maintain the status quo, let alone the proposals within the Lisbon Treaty.
 
I voted 'no' again.

I also think we should have the Euro.
I also think we should do away with the monarchy.
 
Well if and when the government does finally grace the Euro with it's seal of approval, here's hoping it waits until it's got back to something like it's stable level (or the pound has, I guess...)

Just how do you do away with the Monarchy kill them send them to another country they and there chums own most of what's worth owing.

Why do we want the poxy Euro, if you want them you can have them if there so great why don't the swiss have them.

You can have a Euro account we don't need the coat of changing every slot in the country you will want us to drive on the right next.:mad:

You pass an Act of Parliament saying we are now a republic and that Mrs King and her lazy-good-for-nothing husband qualify for the same weekly pension as other elderly couples.

You then turn Buck Pal into flats.

Not that difficult.
 
I'm with D.O. on all counts but I suspect we'll only get the euro if Scotland decides it would rather be part of Europe than part of England (much of England think they're too good for Europe). With Labour tarred with the same rip-off brush as the financial sector parasites (as are the tories but they don't count) the S.N.P. will never have a better opportunity of getting an overall majority in the Scottish parliament.
 
As has been pointed out before, the natural electoral support for an independent Scotland lies in England. Quite why the SNP waste their time canvasing Scotland I don't know? Their true power base is in Tunbridge Wells. With teh English tax payer having bailed out the Scottish banks to the extent that they have, you'r quite right, the SNP are unlikely to have a better chance, if only they were looking in the right direction

You mean we actually got some of the oil money back

Presumably Tunbridge Wells would be repaying the rest.

As far as I know they don't have any oil well in Scotland thet are in the North Sea, patroled by the Royal Navey

The oil wells are owned an operated by British Petrol. not Scotish why is you have a Scotish pm a Scotish Speaker voted in by the Scotish people yet think the English are to blame, RBS:mad: I better not go there.

No idea what the first part of your post is about Andy but the RBS was a private company under the regulation of the FSA not the Scottish government. The parasite in charge would undoubtedly be of the Englishman trapped in a Scotsman's body variety. The almost extinct Scottish tory.

When I lived in Carnoustie there were loads of the feckers. It was wall to wall with them and the SNP. I was pretty much the only Labour guy at the college I went to in Arbroath - wall to wall farmers with very silly accents.
 
Hypothetically, if Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland did ever break away from England which of them, if any, would then opt to join the EU?
 
All of them, and on the very first day they could!!!!. Make no mistake about that

Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland have had designated Objective 1 areas for years. I think parts of North Wales have too, and that's before you look at what was 'RECHAR'. Most of the geographic area of all three would by ERDF objective 2 as well. For them to try and stay outside the EU in light of the amount of subsidy they'd recieve would be pure madness
 
You beat me in a photo finish Gareth :D

South Wales in particular has benefited from Foreign Direct Investment, taking these companies outside of the Maastricht agreement would almost certainly see a lot of them relocate

What is remarkable to me is why there is no positive publicity whatever for Europe in the UK. They helped in the Foot & Mouth crisis,They are now bailing out our car industry,many roads and other infrastructure. The one thing guaranteed is you never see any positive publicity . Never a sign on the new roads saying Europe helped with this like you see in all other countries in Europe.Only a childish complaint about bent bananas

Anything to do with Mr Murdoch ( New York Post,Sun, Times ,Sky etc ) being stroked by the CIA who are definitely anti Europe,do you think ?
