Re: EU in or out forum Poll
I've been to France on my passport alone... Didn't need any visa...
Wealthy retirees who create jobs and spend vast amounts of money, will not have any problems staying in France or Spain.
The worst that may happen is they will just have to leave for a couple of days every 6 months as it was before...

Re: EU in or out forum Poll
Have already answered...
If you think that wealthy retirees in France and Spain, who create jobs and spend fortunes into local economies, will have any trouble staying where they are after we leave yhe eu dictatorship... then you are on cloud cookoo land!!!
Before the eu... there were plenty of them in France and Spain... and coukd stay for 6 months on a UK passport at a time... then they woukd leave for a couple of days and go back with a fresh 6 months! !!
If they really want to live there and it nakes life easier... then there is no reason why they can't get dual citezenship...

Re: EU in or out forum Poll
I have answered numerous times already... you are mad if you think Spain or france will not accommodate wealthy retirees who create jobs and contribute vast sums to local economies!!!
If the eu is only about trade... why woukd they seek to remove the wealthy retirees if we left eu! ?
Simple answer is they won't! !!
And there is nothing stopping them getting dual citezenship or going somewhere else where they will be most welcome...

That does not answer a single point, showing even more you know fuck all about what could happen
So your views claiming it wont happen is sheer bullshit
Games up idiot
You have no idea and even worse none of the parties have any ideas or contingencies.

I think Eddie, what is needed is some real honesty from all parties and to show they have thought of all eventualities
At present there is very little.
The fact is if we leave it will be a very grey area, that nobody has of yet provided any contingencies over many possibilities
If people are not reassured or shown ways to deal with these problems, then I find it highly improbable that the nation will vote to leave, as the nearer it comes to vote, you can bet all these points will be played upon

And as seen i reduce Twatti to being.....well twatti again
At no point were you able to address a single point, which I do not blame you, because you are utterly thick.
France would not damage their economies in anyway if they rid themselves of retired people who would be a strain on their health services, but then something as thick as Twatti does not understand that older people are more susceptible to illness

Perhaps the EU is scared if Britain leaves others will too. Then all their control is gone. Is there concrete evidence that the terrible flooding in the UK was caused by the EU banning dredging? If so, those poor bastards should sue.

Re: EU in or out forum Poll
Leaving the EU will lead to big tariffs on UK exports like cars, whisky and textiles - and higher prices in the shops because of import tariffs, Peter Mandelson is claiming.
In his first intervention in the referendum campaign, the former Labour trade minister and EU trade commissioner will accuse campaigners of "trying to sell people a fantasy".
He will also claim leaving the EU would be damaging for British business, and the alternative trade arrangements proposed by Brexit campaigners would be dangerous for Britain.
"Losing the EU’s preferential trading benefits in foreign markets could mean new tariffs of 10, 20%, or sometimes even more, on key UK exports such as cars, machine goods, whisky and textiles," Lord Mandelson will say.
"The UK would also potentially have to raise its own tariffs on imports from these markets as they would no longer be covered by WTO-compliant agreements."

Re: EU in or out forum Poll
Don’t be taken in by Project Fear – staying in the EU is the risky choice
The Remain campaign, including HM Treasury, is actively talking down Britain’s prospects
Are you frit? Are you frightened? Have they spooked you yet? It is now obvious that the Remain campaign is intended to provoke only one emotion in the breast of the British public and that is fear.
They want us to go to the polls in such a state of quivering apprehension that we do the bidding of the Euro-elites, and vote to stay in the European Union. We may accept, intellectually, that the system is unreformed, and often corrupt, and increasingly anti-democratic. We may recognise that if we were asked to join now, for the first time, that we would not dream of doing so. We may at one level understand that if we vote to Remain, we will continue to sit trapped like passengers in the back seat of some errant minicab with a driver who cannot speak English and who is taking us remorselessly and expensively in the wrong direction.
"I am ever more convinced that the real risk is to sit back and do nothing, to remain inertly and complacently in an unreformed EU that is hell-bent on a federal project over which we have no control."
But the Remain camp clearly calculate that when it comes to the choice – between exit now, or an ever-more constricting entanglement – we will funk it; we won’t take the risk; we will stick with the devil we know. To encourage us in that decision, they are making a series of questionable assertions.
We are told that there would be a threat to the UK economy. We have just had the curious spectacle of HM Treasury insisting on the rewriting of a G20 Communique to include a reference to the potential “shock” from Brexit – surely the first time any country has used an international forum actively to talk up threats to its own economic prospects.
The agents of Project Fear – and they seem to be everywhere – have warned us that leaving the EU would jeopardise police, judicial and intelligence cooperation. We have even been told that the EU has been responsible, over the last 70 years, for “keeping the peace in Europe”. In every case the message is that Brexit is simply too scary; and the reality is that these threats are so wildly exaggerated as to be nonsense.
Indeed I am ever more convinced that the real risk is to sit back and do nothing, to remain inertly and complacently in an unreformed EU that is hell-bent on a federal project over which we have no control.
Take the so-called economic risks. Remember when you weigh them up that the people now issuing the blood-curdling warnings against Brexit are often the very same (as the former governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, just pointed out) as the people who prophesied disaster if Britain failed to join the euro. In fact, the opposite turned out to be true. It was the euro that proved to be a nightmare, an economic doomsday machine that is still causing low growth, high unemployment and real misery in some European countries.
The single currency is also the cause of tensions between European countries, and rhetoric of a virulence and nastiness we have not seen since the second world war. We have had anti-German riots in Greece; we have seen Angela Merkel burned in effigy in Greece. In France, relations with Germany are said to be at a post-war nadir and support for the National Front is at an all-time high. Instead of recognising this disaster for what it is – the result of an over-centralising plan to fuse diverse economies into one – the EU is determined to keep going in the wrong direction.
Francois Hollande is calling for a new federal parliament of the eurozone, and there are explicit plans to try to save the euro by creating an ever tighter political and fiscal union, with legislative consequences that would embroil Britain even though we are out of the eurozone.
"What we need to do now is screw up our courage and go for change."
We stand on the brink of another huge new centralising leap – a leap in the dark, to coin a phrase – which means less democracy, less accountability and therefore a greater risk of disillusion and eventual political eruption. It isn’t Brexit that presents the economic risk; it is the euro, and the federalising attempts to save it that are the real long-term threat to security and stability.
As for the notion that the EU is somehow the military guarantor of peace in Europe – remember what happened when the EU was entrusted with sorting out Yugoslavia. Remember Ukraine. It is Nato and the Atlantic alliance that underpins our security, as Maj Gen Julian Thompson outlines elsewhere in this paper today. EU pretensions in the area are at best confusing and at worst likely to encourage American disengagement.
It is simply untrue, finally, to say that leaving the EU would make it impossible for us to concert our activities in intelligence or counter-terrorism or policing. All these operations can be conducted at an intergovernmental level – as indeed they used to be, until fairly recently.
On the contrary, it is the European Court of Justice, with its vast new remit over the Charter of Fundamental Rights, that is making it harder month by month for the security services to get on with their job – whether it be expelling murderers or monitoring terrorist suspects. It is the border-free Europe, obviously, that makes it so much easier for our enemies to move around. As Ronald K Noble, the former head of Interpol, has said, the Schengen area is “like a sign welcoming terrorists to Europe”.
Whatever the risks of Brexit, they are eclipsed by the problems of remaining in a political construct that has changed out of all recognition since we joined in 1972. What we need to do now is screw up our courage and go for change. We need a new partnership and a new deal with our friends in the EU, based on trade and cooperation, but without this supranational apparatus that is so out of date and is imitated nowhere else.
It is a once in a lifetime chance to energise our democracy, cut bureaucracy, save £8 bn a year, control our borders and strike new trade deals with growth economies that are currently forbidden. Vote Leave would be good for Britain and the only way to jolt the EU into the reform it needs. Let’s call it Project Hope.

Re: EU in or out forum Poll
An online Poll?
One moment
Again none of the above spells out how we are going to convince countries to make trade agreement in our benefits over theirs. By this, we may well have to take some poor choices especially as the EU is vastly going to out number the UK in countries and its economic power over ours. It states nothing of other nations intentions. In other words its a load of bull, where both sides are playing the same poor game based on risk
Neither though can set out any definite plans or any form of contingencies
That is what you fail to grasp everytime Twatti
Nobody has of yet been honest
