A hilarious review you say. Well done.

Thanks ... you would have been crying with laughter.

That could all happen yes but there are many cases where the cheaper option prevails. If you are within a union then the overwhelming voice lends it's weight.
Tomorrow we can buy cheaper sofas from China and India. (Well not just yet but you get my jist) They may be made from combustible materials and not conform to our previous E.U. Legislation. You will have to trust our countries politicians now. The thing is, these things have happened under the E.U. So why leave where they might not. Don't forget we have been at the forefront encouraging newer members as they joined and had to conform and adhere.
No say now.

For thickies like me, at what stage are we unable to buy products from safety conscious Europe? When we start the leave process?

 

[The Tactician]

I'd be worried about the future if your a representation of it.

Wet blanket.

Be thankful that people with experience who rebuilt this country after a world war and have proper life experience have taken this decision.

I'm sure your 17 years ''life experience'' of hand shandy's when your mums out, popping zits in the mirror and shopping for skinny jeans doesn't really qualify you to decide what's right for this country and its future I'm afraid.

I'm replying to you, but there was a few others who essentially did the same thing [MENTION=5101]BigGully[/MENTION] ect. Why because I'm 17, does that mean that my future should not be mine to decide, or my opinion is suddenly invalid. Think I'm off to Germany, currently studying German A-level so shouldn't be too difficult to pick up the rest of the language. Would rather not stay and see Britain slowly crumble into Farage-Land. Anyone know any good stream sites so I can catch the Albion games?

clean beaches and rivers;
cleaner air;
lead free petrol;
restrictions on landfill dumping;
a recycling culture;
cheaper mobile charges;
cheaper air travel;
improved consumer protection and food labelling;
a ban on growth hormones and other harmful food additives;
better product safety;
single market competition bringing quality improvements and better industrial performance;
break up of monopolies;
Europe-wide patent and copyright protection;
no paperwork or customs for exports throughout the single market;
price transparency and removal of commission on currency exchanges across the eurozone;
freedom to travel, live and work across Europe;
funded opportunities for young people to undertake study or work placements abroad;
access to European health services;
labour protection and enhanced social welfare;
smoke-free workplaces;
equal pay legislation;

the right not to work more than a 48-hour week without overtime;
strongest wildlife protection in the world;
improved animal welfare in food production;
EU-funded research and industrial collaboration;
EU representation in international forums;
bloc EEA negotiation at the WTO;
EU diplomatic efforts to uphold the nuclear non-proliferation treaty;
European arrest warrant;
cross border policing to combat human trafficking, arms and drug smuggling; OK THATS A BAD ONE counter terrorism intelligence;

support for democracy and human rights across Europe and beyond;
investment across Europe contributing to better living standards and educational, social and cultural capital.
All of this is nothing compared with its greatest achievements: the EU has for 60 years been the foundation of peace between European neighbours after centuries of bloodshed.
It furthermore assisted the extraordinary political, social and economic transformation of 13 former dictatorships, now EU members, since 1980.

Your go.

But what has the EU ever done for us apart from the above?

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Nope, just a bit of housekeeping. A number of Corbyn threads and referendum threads have been merged, that's all.

Can you move this one too, I just wasted 3 minutes of my life on it.

Better off without QUITTERS like you.

 

[Triggaaar]

Yes it is. At least according to us.

That's wiki, which doesn't speak for me. Look up what makes a country - sovereignty (control of borders), currency, army, etc etc. Scotland, like England, have none of that. Scotland can't choose to have a referendum, they have to ask the UK. If they won independence, then they'd be a country.

Of course I am aware that people like to pretend they're a country, but they're not.

what about the old British standards we had before, like the Kite mark?

And what about consumer power? - they can help dictate what standards we demand for our products or don't you trust the British people to be able to shop without having the Eu telling us whats safe and whats not?

All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials.

Thought this was quite relevant. Wouldn't say a quitter as such, just would rather not be involved in the way we're going.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

. Wouldn't say a quitter as such, just would rather not be involved in the way we're going.

Taxi.

That's it then you're moving to the dark side.

 

[The Tactician]

Tongue-in-cheek right? Otherwise this 'Dark side' divided mentality really worries me

What's wrong with sharing standards? Are we going to start selling products to the EU in imperial weights and measures now?

There has never been one culture in human history anywhere on this planet at anytime that deemed a 17 year old wiser as his/hers elders, not one.

You really are not scared and I am guessing you wont really emigrate, you are not at your pinnacle of your political viewpoint, your just a snapshot of your younger self and you will change as perhaps we all do.

Ultimately you are upset because the majority didnt agree with you, its a little tantrum from a young and immature guy, it will pass, good luck in hiding your sock, I mean in your A levels

Obviously you won't see it until too late, but my view is the Majority has made a terrible mistake, and the decision is wrong. I despise the self-righteous idea of age=knowledge, but hey.

EDIT: Ph, and by the way- "little tantrum from a young and immature guy"

good luck in hiding your sock, I mean in your A levels I'm the immature one?

 

[Questions]

Thanks ... you would have been crying with laughter.

Side splitting was it ? I probably wouldn't have fully appreciated it today JC, thumping headache.

 

[fat old seagull]

I refer you to:


And yeah, everyone's stupid because they don't agree with you.

Well you clearly must be... referring me to a site of Lord Ashcrofts FFS! This is the past deputy chairman of The Conservative Party (yes the tax domicile benefactor of the party, who cleverly avoided £3.4 mill tax).

Well that's put me in my place then!

 

[Caveman]

Question for those in the electrical trade... Will this see the boom of BS standards?!
