Remember when they signed the Magna Carta? They should have backed out of that one – pretty big mistake there.
[quote quote=168879]hi IMHO,
Technically you are right.We joined the common market in 1973,having had two failed attempts in 63 and 67.But we didn’t actually have a referendum until 1975,when the country voted in favour of remaining.We should have voted to get out way back then,as far as I am concerned Harold Wilson made a major mistake in supporting continued membership believing that he could change the EU from within and renegotiate more favourable terms(hmm how many times have we heard that one)…interesting nearly 45 years later we have corbyn trying to do the same thing,some people never learn.
One of the most neolithic aspects of the EU was and still is the CAP(common agricultural policy) which is effectively an endless money tree for the landowning elite in the EU.[/quote]Totally agree.
If there was a movement for change then and still is, 45 years later, what chance of change ever occuring as “they” still aren’t listening and, who are “they?” who owns the damn thing? “them” or us? It appears to be “them” as we have had to keep going to “them” in an attempt to enact changes over the decades. No, the people of the member states do not, in reality, own the edifice that is the EU they are subservient to it. It’s time we left it to “them” and made our own way again in the world. Being a member of the EU has sucked nearly all the confidence out of a once proud and confident nation, it has been dragged down and brought to it’s knees by an overarching EU in a away that hasn’t been possible by our enemies through many conflicts where it has always (with help, eventually) won through. The “remainers” are responsible for the mess we are in now not the “leavers” as the uncertainty caused by the prevarication not Brexit is what is killing business because (you may have noticed) we haven’t left the EU yet so things remain the same. No, it’s all down to the anti democratic MP’s that want to overturn the 2016 vote that are to blame for the whole sorry mess. To the remain voters that are thirsting for a re-run of the referendum i’d say this, be careful what you wish for, get your way and go against a democratic vote this time and you can rest assured it will happen again and, next time you may be in the other camp and crying, “but, it’s undemocratic”. What is possible once, is always possible again. Think about it.
We should drag that Matt down the Beastmarket and deal with him Richard Gwyn stylee.
Keep the auld traditions alive, like.

One small problem, I’m not Roman Catholic.
[quote quote=168919]Don’t worry, we’ll sort that out after.[/quote]
And I’ll sort you out beforehand sunshine.
