Just because we got handouts in the 70s doesn’t mean we should vote YES YES YES to every EU suggestion that’s dreamt up by Brussels.
We’ve given it all back and more, an estimated 35 billion in salaries to the 300,000 Eastern European workers that came to Ireland over the last 5 years.
Financially we owe Europe nothing.
The second world war was the result of the collapse of democracy and the replacement of that system of government with an idealogical un-elected one
If the above led to WW2, then God help us in this country.
Maybe this is actually what The Politburo in their bunker at Number 10 are after.
Lord Mandy was on the box last night referring to the GPO as a business with a pension deficit. Firstly it’s a service owned by the government and not a business, secondly, it’s only got a pension deficit because the government have mis-managed and spent the money. I can’t think of anything more decieptful.
?Service is a dirty word

2010 – three million unemployed – subsidised Jags in shiny showrooms
Can anyone tell me a joke?
The sooner the UK adopts the Euro the better – as is painfully obvious when one charts the comparative performance of the two currencies in recent times.
…is the correct answer. Ten points!

Please go on an economics course….
A temporary movement in exachange rates is irrelevant to any long term economic argument about joining the euroI have mixed feelings about the EU. The biggest pro is the simple straightforward single market, the power of which shouldnt underestimated. But the biggest disgrace is the CAP.
Drone, have you heard that the Met have made an official apology over shooting Charles De Menez, it was his brother Dennis they were after .. boom, boom.
Clive .. the Euro is powering ahead again today against the $ & £. They need to lower interest rates or it’s all over for exporters in the Eurozone.

Or, even better, it will be all over for the Eurozone full stop then we can welcome back with affection the Franc, Lira etc.and we won’t have the rest of Europe trying to tell us how to live our lives.

Dave Jay,
The head of the Bundesbank agrees with you, interest rates need to be lowered in the Eurozone or it will really hurt exporters badly with current economic conditions. As for the referendum, it should be held again with the amendments put forward.
I disagree with David Brady about the Government, letting Inda or Happy Gilmore get a sniff of power would be detrimental to this country.

JohnJ, I reckon that the Euro is too strong and always will be due to the combined industrial output of Northern Europe. The problem they have with lowering interest rates is Greece, Italy, Spain and the rest have very different economies. That’s why members of the Italian cabinet are now saying they wish they had never joined the single currency. The central bank, one interest rate suits all, can’t work, the Eurozone economies are too diverse.
An interesting piece of art commissioned by the Czech government for their presidency of the EU:
You’re so predicable Dave.
I think it’s a fine exhibit of De-Constructionist Post Expressionism enriching to our being of European.
You have to admit the UK not in it is a touch of artist-class.
I am not normally a lover of "modern art" but this must be a nominee for every award going – it is fantastic.
As for leaving Britain out completely – inspirational.
I think it’s very good actually
Here’s the wikipedia link which states what each country is represented by

.. I’m suprised you have never asked why this once pro-european became so consistently anti?I suppose with the world economy going down the tubes, the MEPs need something to cheer them up in the morning, apart from their £500 a day attendance fee, don’t they? They can even look at it when they turn up and sign in to get their £500 when the parliament isn’t sitting.

Airbus?
Surprisingly not ..
Well, it goes something like this.

This was the precursor to the Credit Crunch, alleged money laundering and corruption through secret bank accounts on a grand scale by EU commissioners, who then refused to hold an investigation.
It was the commissioners who were implicated in the scandal that announced to the parliament there would be no investigation. It struck me at that point that these people were no more than gangsters operating above the law.
Anyone, naive enough to think that people like this will go any good for anyone but themselves really needs to brush up on their history a bit.
