Out of Repect I ask Remainers to Refrain from posting in this thread

Many of the laws the EU took on were British laws.

Yep, we even drafted article 50 which technically makes withdrawal possible

 

[Ihavenojob]

Funnily enough the UK was only on the 'losing side' in 2% of the EU 'orders' voted upon...

2% of how many? 2% of 50 isn't many, 2% of thousands is quite a few.

And since 1974, growth in the UK has outstripped Germany, France and even the US...

Whilst being in the EEC/EU...

So why are France & Germany worse ? They're in the EU.

Yeah I read that -its a shame remain did not make more of it.

I suppose its really hard to make a case for the status quo, when almist nobody knows what theyve got.

when almist nobody knows what theyve got.

Well almost 17 million knew it...

The rest will only moan when they lose it!

I wonder if quitters will miss the NHS?

Probably because we were at times net beneficiaries of EU financing, and took full advantage of freedom of movement of workers when the UK was the 'sick man of Europe'!

You mean a few weeks in the mid 70's.

 

[transam]

Maybe you could enlighten as to why?
Because their mineral rights may be autonomous but they have no means of their exploitation by themselves.
(And FYI they are Greenlandic)

And the Autonomous Constituent Country may have left the EU, but the people haven't.

Citizens of Greenland are also EU citizens because of Danish nationality law and EU treaties.

Quitters as usual get their facts all wrong!

Global warming

And there constitution

They were talking about it on the radio a good while back

full advantage of freedom of movement of workers when the UK was the 'sick man of Europe'

Freedom of movement, Maastrict treaty 1992

UKs was allegedy sick man Europe...........

 

[ban-all-sheds]

once the Lisbon treaty slithers' onto the EU statute book we will be powerless.

Do you mean the treaty that came into force 10 years ago?

Or is this another treaty which only exists in your febrile mind?

But as for being powerless, that's what 17.4M people said they wanted to be, so you must respect that.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

We won't have to take orders.

What orders do you currently have to take which you won't if we leave?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

One example is the EU consumer rights directive, which strengthens rights for consumers across the EU, for example by eliminating hidden charges and costs on the internet, and extending the period under which consumers can withdraw from a sales contract.

https://europa.eu/european-union/eu-law/legal-acts_en​

ihnj wants consumers to not have those rights.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Order is a synonym of regulation, so regulations are orders.

Are orders bad?

Would you like to share the roads with people who disregard orders?

How about if I fancy having some of the goods in your house - if orders are bad should I disobey the ones that tell me I mustn't just break in and take them?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

So why are France & Germany worse ? They're in the EU.

So are we.

Well almost 17 million knew it.

I very much doubt that.

Of course its the narrative you like to promote.

In reality probably about 1% of those voting had any real understanding of the EU.

Most probably made an emotional decision, no better than flipping a coin.

I regret voting to leave as I admit it wasnt based on an informed opinion, however I doubt if I was any different to the majority.

I bet the vast majority of the population arent interested in learning more about the EU, nor have an open discussion about it.

Both remainers and leavers are now in entrenched positions -so not many people will be changing their minds.

Festive for example isnt changing his mind -but who can blame him, the posters on here are mostly sarcastic rather than offering persuasive arguments.

Remainers arent really interested in accepting the concerns that exist about immigration, nor do they want to listen to valid concerns about the trajectory of the EU
