Brexit Countdown

We pay far more into the EU budget than we get back, actually it was a net contribution of around £8.5 billion last year (£23 million a day), which is more than we spend on the police service or border controls.
The NHS costs £8.5 billion a month and the Health Service would get an extra £5 billion a year as a result of Brexit. People crying about the NHS relying on foreign immigrants are too thick to realise many people in the Uk can’t get these jobs due to the numbers applying

60 per cent of regulations originate from the EU and the 28-member Commission in Brussels — none of whom were elected.

Currently there’s no upper limit on migration and no proper control of our borders. More than three million EU migrants live in the UK — double the number in 2004 when the EU expanded to include Eastern European countries, who have sent more than a million people here (despite the last Labour Government saying it would be only 13,000 a year.)

The net migration from EU countries to the UK, according to official figures, is over 200,000 a year — enough to fill a city the size of Oxford. We have never hit  targets to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands — and most agree we never will if we remain inside the EU.

Under EU law, we must let in any EU citizen regardless of their qualifications. The result is businesses can’t get work permits for highly skilled or educated people from the Commonwealth, U.S., Australia and elsewhere outside the EU.

Parliament is powerless, under EU treaties, to defend itself against the rulings of the European Court of Justice — which has interfered in everything from the price of beer to the right to deport terror suspects.
The UK has lost three-quarters of the cases it’s challenged since 1973. This makes a mockery of the idea that the UK’s Supreme Court is supreme.

Thanks to Brussels diktats, some of the EU’s most evil killers, rapists and drug-dealers have been allowed to remain here because their right to free movement has been put ahead of keeping the British public safe.  A report by the Labour-led Commons Home Affairs Committee said the number of foreign criminals who had not been deported could fill a ‘small town’. British jails hold almost 10,000 foreign prisoners — including 1,000 Poles.

UK law stops anyone from outside the EU entering Britain if their presence is deemed ‘not conducive to the public good’, but Brussels says EU citizens can only be turned away if there is a ‘serious, credible and present threat’.
The the list of criminals able to come here includes a Latvian who murdered his wife before moving to the UK, where he killed a 14-year-old girl. Over the past decade, UK officials have only been able to turn away 11,000 EU nationals.

The EU’s Frontex border security agency has warned that jihadists are exploiting the Union’s open borders and the migrant crisis to sneak into the continent and plot atrocities. Two of the attackers responsible for last year’s outrages in Paris used exactly this approach. The British head of Europol also said that as many as 5,000 Islamic State-trained jihadists are moving freely in Europe with Sir Richard Dearlove, ex-head of MI6, saying we would be safer outside of the EU as it would be easier to deport fanatics. Leaving the EU would still allow us to work with U.S. intelligence agencies — as the so-called gold standard ‘Five Eyes’ intelligence-sharing partnership consists of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.S. and the UK.

Shall I go on? Take your whining / EU flag somewhere else sceptical

Hang ’em.

Why isn’t the EU rinsing them out? W@nkers.

Why doesn’t the EU have a Guantanamo Bay on a remote Scottish island? W@nkers.

2 good reasons to leave the EU.

You live in cloud cuckoo land you sleazy old fart. Now after your anger and abuse you are doing the scholarly school teacher act. Patronizing everyone. Patting them on the head like good doggies.

It’s amusing, when I was pissed I actually did think you had something about you, sober I see you for what you are. A know it know nothing, who is reliant on google for all your knowledge.

Back under your bridge, you sleazy old troll.

I resent that comment. I did no such thing.

Ge and I were having some healthy exchanges. I found him very informative actually. I learnt about the Chattering class. Unfortunately Ge became a bit worse for wear from the afternoon Gin, and I had dinner to make so we ended it on a pleasant note.

I look forward to continuing with Ge on that topic some other time.
