    Someone tell me precisely what the EU has done - in it's entire history - for the UK?

    I could give you a list of negative things the EU has brought to the UK, but for reasons of being attacked by left wing nutjobs or better yet Jeremy Corbyn voters/cult. Or start a true debate that the one that will hurt much more on the split is the EU

    I will pass on the subject, other than saying i think it will be great for the UK to get rid of the EU for many, many, many reasons

    Try finding a paper that isn't left wing to support your narrative?? Like i said what is the worry?? Let them go and fail then especially if you think it will hurt the UK more than the EU

    It was almost like i called you out, or you never would have posted what you did Cabby, but again i still luv ya buddy

    True story for you about Canada Cabby.... There has been a few votes on Quebec trying to separate from Canada.. Now the majority of Canadians don't give 2 shits if they leave, but if they do, they are to pay back all of there Debt owing to Canada and all the military bases, would also be removed from there province, that is lost revenue plus subsidies they get from the Government. Guess what Cabby, Quebec is still a province of Canada

    What is the UK going to lose if they leave?? Going back and forth, they still will deal with the EU, but just have borders and control who comes into there Country??

    What is going to change?? What am i missing?? There should be borders on every large Country in Europe to control and protect there citizens, you don't agree with that??

    That would be an interesting answer to that question if you are willing too. I am not sure how you feel about open borders??

    Do you agree with this Cabby,,, If Corbyn wins in the upcoming election it will answer some questions about Brexit??

    Edit: Crickets on response from who i would say the most knowledgeable person here about Europe

    Go figure....

    We already have borders and control on who comes into our country, because we used our veto and opted out of the Schengen area. You CANNOT get into the UK without a passport, even from continental Europe.

    It's a complete myth we don't have border controls, hence the reason people have to resort to trying to sneak in via lorries and dinghies.

    The trouble is, people cannot seem to distinguish in their minds between illegal immigrants and the legal immigration that is required to plug skills shortages, e.g. doctors, nurses, fruit pickers, etc. (Yes, it seems UK-born people are incapable of picking fruit, hence why millions of apples have rotted away on trees this year, because of a shortage of EU migrant workers!)

    I think it's a language thing. Incomers to this country are always referred to as "migrants", however isn't it strange how people from this country who go and retire in Spain for example are referred to as "ex-pats"...

    This whole "uncontrolled immigration" trope is a complete lie. The strain on public services is not caused by immigration, it's caused by the aging native population not dying off.

    The "Boomers" clinging on to life after they've ruined the world for the rest of us... nice one. *slow hand-clap*

    But people are so thick they believe anything the right-wing press spoon-feeds them.

    So when you travel by car/ferry there is borders?? Do you have by chance a link you could show me??

    And when people work in a different country, do they usually have to have papers/green card of employment?? I know if you want to work in the US or Canada from another country you do, Revenue Canada or the IRS usually requires that??

    Again that is not EU regulations that show in your link??

    Right wing Left wing and many in the middle right?? Like every democratic country Barbarossa, and the middle may have views they like on either side, now you pick the ones close to your views right.. There is no such thing as saying ya my parents or family voted for that party there whole life now, party views have changed drastically!!!. You really do have to look at there policies...
    And the truth knowing just by any media you choose, there is a big problem with illegal immigration in the UK, because of zero borders, so you saying there is a kind of strict border, how are they getting in so easy?? Or you are ok with it??

    If you remember reading about the left in the US saying there was no problem at there borders, and when they went to visit they saw something different?? Or in Canada the stress it is putting on our so called social benefits??

    The same with the difference in parties in the UK?? Not sure who you want, but myself i prefer a Moderate Conservative, party not a Socialists open border let all the crap in the Country one??

    Again not disrespecting who you prefer i am just giving you my view points that i read in between the lines of the media reporting....

    All true citizens should be protected and taken care of first, in any country....

    PS.. Here is an interesting question Barbarossa for you...When you ever here the word "Union" in anything controlled?? Do you think it benefits the people?? Or the people controlling the Union??

    And if you have no problems with the EU or Immigration in the UK?? Why was Brexit even invented??

    And as i said in my other post, soon you will see if the people of the UK want Brexit or floods of immigration ??

    I may be stupid or misguided but least my viewpoints aren't entirely based around greed and racism, Tucker.
