In or out

[Norcon]

So outside the EU we starve?
And do you really think all our food comes from within europe?

Well we would have plenty of fish wouldn't we, as all those eu trawlermen would have to bugger off.

I'm a realist. The UK needs 2.5 times its land mass just to feed itself. Without imported food - we starve. Do you really want that gun at your head?

There's no point having the land mass to feed ourselves if farmers are going out of business and shooting themselves L R & C and the land is not farmed.

No but we would have no right to it like we have as part of the EU. We are a tiny island with a massive population.

When did we ever have a "right" to european food?

We buy it like everyone else who trades with europe.
Australia is not part of the eu. Does that mean they cannot buy eu food?

 

[joe-90]

They can if they choose to sell it. As part of Europe we have a right to the European market. That's the difference.

Sadly quite a few million of the massive UK population, just ain't British.

If I was buying 10,000 ton of grain from a german farmer I have no more right to it than an american grain importer.

The one with the fattest check book is the one who will win the bid.
Simples.
It has nothing to do with being part of the eu. Thats just a scam.
And I hope its ends in my life time.

Joe, where do you think we got our food from during both world wars?
Europe does not control everything, but with your attitude they will eventually control us.
Grow somw balls, man up and realise we have got by without them before we can do it again. So it may be tough, but at least we would be living by our rules/laws not those foistered on us by some petty jobsworth overseas FFS! Even today this pathetic puppet government of europe has hiked a 20%vat tax on hot take-away food! Would any past government have even thought of that before we were conscripted in?

 

[joe-90]

If we owned our own industries I'd agree - but we don't. We've sold the family silver so we can't dictate to anyone what we will or won't do.

 

[conny]

So are you saying we can't re-build our industries?
How the hell are China and India doing it then?
By knuckling down and refusing to be subservient, thats how.

 

[joe-90]

By paying their workforce peanuts in sweat shops - that's how. The Chinese are revolting.

They also tend to be somewhat harsher with the workers.

 

[Sombrero]

Suerly we are in the Eu for the army.... we just could not win a war by areselves !

 

[calorific]

The EU only really exists as a way of trying to curb repetitive historical expansionist policies of several countries. The irony is that it has become an expansionist concept in it's own right.

Out.
Even Germany does most of it's trade outside of the EU.
Much of what money the EU countries do have, has been given/loaned to them by Germany.
