EU Referendum .

Im crap with all this politics crap but if we end up joinin the EU on this, is this the point where we lose the £ and join the Euro or is that summat else altogether???

Or is it jus to do wiv the laws n stuff? Tell you what tho, im impressed with how much everyone else knows about all this? Makes the board sound dead intelligent!!! No 's around here!

I HATE fucking foreigners

they LOVE us.

I WANT THE VOTE ON ID CARDS NOW!!!!

KICK OUT EVERY PIECE OF SCUM WITHOUT A NI NUMBER!

Tell me why I'm getting less for the pound when I travel in Europe these days than I did say 1999 when the Euro was first commisioned.

And your worry about the pound losing strength is?

Not to mention, it is at a long term high vs the dollar at the minute..

Good. The UK is shit.

Yeah but I don't plan on travelling to the US, just Ibiza this summer

b3ta... straight to the heart of the issues...

I know its a constitution & not a treaty thats why I said " is it mainly just replacing loads of already agreed treaties"

eh? don't u mean labour?

New labour are also for the most part shit. However, I would prefer "shit" to " absolutely fucking wank", as we would surely have under CONservative leadership.

When I said the UK I didn't mean the people, land, and culture - I meant the political situation and the direction that the country is going in. Also the prevailing attitudes of a significant number of its inhabitants.

we can change the goverment though - seems a bit reactionary to hand it all over to brussels.

im looking at europe at the moment in respects my dissertation and from what i can see, we could do with a LOT of the policies other countries are using in respect transport initiatives and policy regarding sustainable futures... to say we are behind is an understatement..

the UK is too stubborn in many respects and really needs to get its act together...

cos the euro is doing even better than the pound these days

We're a leading industrial country, on a par with Germany, France, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Norway etc, not Greece!

I've been to all these countries, tbh they all look better off, have better schools, hospitals, public transport, better working conditions, cleaner cities than most places in the UK I've been to.

The Euro is doing better than the pound against all major currencies these days

I'm pretty sure he meant that

this isnt your average 'what students read in books' though.. im studying whats been done and whats happening now.. its there to see in countless cities across western europe...

maybe i should have phrased that as - countries with similar economies in europe.. which would exclude portugal and greece amongst others..

ive been to nearly all the countries in the EU barring scandinavian ones and have extensivley travelled the united states so id say i have a fair idea of how our transport system compares to other countries...

agree with that about the euro.... 1st few years I thought it was gonna sink!

You're also right that our economy is doing miles better than not just Europe but virtually anywhere else in the world.

Round of applause to the Labour government

and in the long term?
