threegee Posted May 2, 2016 Report Posted May 2, 2016 Isn't it great, 'human rights' cases brought by the EU against the UK have fallen by a staggering two-thirds. It's the only time in decades no more huge fines are being imposed on the UK, because we are winning an unprecedented number of cases in front of EU judges, and fines are being limited on those we lose. A pure coincidence that this fall aligns accurately with the announcement of our referendum, or maybe not? This same "coincidence" happens every time an EU country (e.g. Ireland) is granted a referendum - then it's back to Brussels diktat. Here's another coincidence: 1975 was the year of Harold Wilson's referendum on our membership of the then "Common Market" and was the only year in history that we ever got back a bit more than we paid in to the common budget. Since then it has been a steady more more more from Brussels. Next year's demands on the UK will be truly eye-watering as the failing southern European economies demand even more support, and more Balkan states join for what they can get - Frau Merkel just loves spending other people's money on failure in good old East German fashion. What's the odds Quisling Dave told his EU chummies that if there were any more out-of-the-blue demands for extra money, or any more impositions on the UK in the run up to the referendum that his IN campaign was sunk? There were a few EU gaffes in the early days of the campaign, but the word has surely got around the evil empire that they'd better be very very careful until the UK sucker vote is in. I pray for a decisive Leave vote, as otherwise this could become one of the longest running and most painful threads on the board, as we are punished for ever believing that we could restore our self-determination. 1

The amount of debt which will be....and......is.....and.... has been....racked up by the EU will be eye watering...... Its like knowing what will happen to the Titanic and refusing to get off at the stops at Cherbourg or Cobh as she sailed onwards....... 1
moe19 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Posted May 2, 2016 And all the publicity about the EU referendum is masking the elephant in the room TTIP . , 1
webtrekker Posted May 2, 2016 Report Posted May 2, 2016 Well said moe. I still can't believe most of the people I speak to have never even heard of TTIP. Frightening!
webtrekker Posted May 2, 2016 Report Posted May 2, 2016 Of course, TTIP is no secret. The process to read the TTIP documents is very simple and straightforward ... A 'must-read' ........... TTIP leak could spell the end of controversial trade deal, say campaigners http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ttip-leak-could-spell-the-end-of-controversial-trade-deal-say-campaigners-a7009896.html
