If there is no money how to do build? you get slaves. why should the people pay to rebuild government buildings if they are not needed? and if these are privite buildings then the owners should rebuild them their selves not the tax payer. trust me if the government wanted to rebuild their buildings they do they don't wait for the money.
Yeah lol good luck with that.

This how the elite in power enslave nations around them with debt, so while the EU were able to do that to those under their wing, now that their banskters are in trouble they most sell their own citizens to France and Germany in order for their own elites to keep thriving, guess what they will do it, for greed they will sell their own citizens.

Withdraw from Europe?
Europe is the UK's biggest trading partner.
We need Europe.

you still think you are going to easily export to Europe, think it through. If you still think that is going to solve your immegration problem, think again. If you still think that is going to solve your mismanaged treasury budget, think again. If you still think that is going to solve your riots, think again. But sure, lets play, Please leave europe COMPLETELY at ALL LEVELS. All those grants from Europe, GONE All that access to Galellio GPS, GONE All that access to ESA, GONE All that exporting to Europe, tarrif Free, GONE All that freedom of movement, GONE All that cheap labour doing the jobs you dont want to do, GONE All that chance to easily buy your properties in Spain, GONE All those human rights cases the Eeropean court upheld against the UK, GONE

I have no problem with paying taxes, but I do take exception to what happens to my taxes.
I have no regard or liking for the current party political system we have in the UK and believe radical reform is required.
This country has plenty of money, it's just obscenely unevenly distributed with the majority in the hands of an amoral and corrupt minority and the financial system they support.
And that has indeed led to serious under investment.
But that is exacerbated with the added burden of a massive financial commitment to EU for which we receive very, very little in return.

"Europe is the UK's biggest trading partner."
That has nothing to do with this subject what so ever. If the UK were to withdraw from the EU you believe that trading would stop?, What happened before the creation of the EU then?, Did none of us trade anything?.
Really think about what you just said, mate....that's a very weak argument!.

We're net contributors grants from Europe are our own money.
Galileo waste of money we'll just use US system.
We import much more from Europe than we export so tarrif away.
Cheap labour lol there are billions of people on the planet man power is not a problem.
Yeh like Spain would refuse rich British retirees treing to buy property.
Human rights cases like when they stopped us returning a bunch of hijackers. and anyway European court seperate from EU
We would save tens of billions a year without EU regulations and our net contribution.Your ludicrous list of benefits from the EU is pathetic thank the Lord we didn't join the Currency the only shrewd decision Brown ever made.
I don't think Iceland can go downhill any further lol, actually I think they did a good job of managing their bankruptcy.
Frankly I see two choices.
1) Run away crying
2) Get in there and do something , Europe is a power house, you can choose to be a player or be on the outside looking in.
I recommend you read this book... It's a small book but well written.

Stop the horses here, I am looking at Germany and France markets they are low just like anybody else, perhaps France in more trouble than Germany, why are Germany and France calling the shots on how to fix the Euro, they are not better than the rest of theh EU.
So where the money is going to come from, the IMF?
Can somebody answer that.

I suspect the one person who wants out far more than anyone has expressed on this thread so far is actually Mrs Merkel herself. If she could extract the German economy from the rest of Europe she would be very pleased.
You're making the fact that some Brits want to leave Europe very personal, which it isn't.
The fact is that with keeping that £40 million per day or £14.6 Billion per year here, we would be able to regenerate our run down areas, invest in new business and technology and stop our borders being abused by illegal immigration.
The effect of some EU policies on things like farming etc and even down to the ludicrous mountain of red tape and regulation hasn't benefitted this country. We have been hampered by Eurocrats, sitting at their desks qualifying their existence with items such as health and safety, whereby our kids are barely allowed to play in the playground today.
With that investment and British ingenuity even Germany will be queuing up to trade with us. Like Germany we have done this act before and will succeed againl.
