having voted in 1974 to join the common market NOT united states of Europe which it has become, and now reaching the great age of 64 where i can review all the past problems that being in the EU has caused the UK, I can honestly say that many British people knew very well want we want. OUT OUT. and no further referendum. its the press whipping up trouble as usual. don't believe the press lol
The truth is We have been paying to the EU vast amounts of money trillions to further a United states of Europe for 40 years. We only get back a small amount in subsidies, which is our money back anyway.
All the Bureaucratic nonsense that thousands of no marks in Brussels think up have hurt our country a great deal. Europe takes our fish and sells it back at a higher price,whilst we burn our boats, Farmers here are committing suicide daily because they cannot farm, they have to plough crops back in or throw milk away. turning to put solar panels and wind masts on their ground to try and break even.
PC gone mad rules that increase the costs of roadworks and building projects, non elected guys telling us what we can and cant do.
NO NO NO its time to look very hard at the EU. propped up by wealthy diplomats who want the gravy train to roll on. well NOT with our money. We are the 5th biggest financial state in the world, 2nd biggest to Germany in paying into the EU. well if you all want us leave so quickly then we will have the last few months billions back then, plus you will not have anymore.
Germany you see how you like having to prop up Europe on your own. and don't forget poor Greece, who wrote off your war debts. but last year you didn't want to help them, you ignored them. typical.
We are an island race with a thousand years of history in beating the world in anything we want to proceed with.We are an out looking and thinking race not isolationist as accused. the world is our playing ground not just Europe, which is drowning in more members going bust.
Hate to mention the war, but I think we won, after soldering on for 2 years on our own before USA decided it could make a killing financially by entering the war, that's where its wealth started more than the oil fields. we have just paid them off the last payment on the lend lease agreements of 1940. All of you young guys that mouth off about not wanting us now we have taken the very difficult and courageous decision to leave a dying European union should remember that 28 states is too many, 28 states all different make ups, religions, etc and mostly poor, because they are what's left of USSR after its break up. Unchecked and low educated Migration kills countries, because it strangles them, infrastructure cant handle it.and of course these countries left in the union will slowly become more effected by so called Diesh. So Leaving on Monday would be fine for me.
I am pleased and cant wait for the future.More manufacturing, House building, our own boarders, our own fishing industry, farming policy that gives us self sufficient food resources, therefore cheaper., no banks to drive us into recession, get rid of non paying tax companies that will have to pay.
As far as Scotland is concerned, it has no more oil, and we pay a fortune in subsidies to it to keep it afloat, think twice before you go your own way, you will be worse off. ditto Ireland too. the UK is better together not split up.but hey we have democracy, more than most countries out there. so don't bash UK because we could come back and bash you harder down the line OK. We have pulled out of the world recession quicker and stronger than any other European country don't forget that. with triple A references, and a bank of England quit well prepared to cover any blips in the financial markets of which 75% of the top 100 companies are foreign making money here. not Europe.
