UK Referendum 23 June 2016 - Will it be an EU BREXIT or Not?

a reply to: nonspecific

I'm not in the sees-the-future club. So I don't know. Some things are obvious what way they will go, for me this one isn't. I would say that given the UK has no money to fill the gaps that will be left if they leave (referring to the subsidies the EU pays its members) that they don't really have a choice, they have to stay in it.

Well this is a discussion just about that topic so it is somewhat unusual that you are looking to participate given you have no real stance if I may say so.

Also I would have expected you to use the term "We" as opposed to the term "They" if you are a UK resident with a valid reason to contribute to the conversation?

"Lol, behave, I've responded to all of your relevant posts.
You are ranting now though so for amusement reasons I may well stick around lol "

Quote what you consider a rant?

You didn't respond to my many earlier original points. You ignored them and kept posting over and over again about lazy people on benefits, which you also classed me as in spite of what I wrote. Which you should remember as it only just happened today in the past couple of hours. This isn't meant to be funny either, in case you also start doing that again too. It might *be* funny to read, but that is entirely different from me posting trying to be funny.

I need to point out the amount of posts you have done here that don't specifically say your personal prediction on the title of this thread?

Again you ask a question, as if you're interviewing me for a TV show....I reply. You still are not satisfied despite getting the answer you asked for..

All you've done is again add more pointless time wasting. Anyone reading this thread can see what my points are. They don't need someone re-quoting things only posted in reply to pointless not even recaps.

This topic is 18 pages long? Edit: 30 pages was looking at the flags.....

If anyone could be accused of time wasting it is you as you seem to have taken it upon yourself to ignore the actual conversation and talk about what you think is important regardless of the fact that no one is even now all that sure of.

In or out fella, spit it out.

Lol, the subsidies are our own money.
You clearly do not understand.

Nowhere near accurate no. Just more waste of space stuff. You're accusing me of doing what the very post, chain of posts, you've written there are actually doing. Then you end on asking the same question of me I just answered, because you asked me to answer it, and then after I answered it you ignored that and went on to ask something irrelevant. Which in conversation would mean you are probably senile, given this is written down...

Senile?

In or out?

Why?

Did you know that the UK is now the second biggest contributor to the EU budget?

In round figures 10 billion.

So in point of fact the relatively small subsidies received by the UK are simply a

small portion of what the UK has already paid in ... you could say pocket money!!

I think you should go check that. It's highly unlikely to be true.

If it was true - then why did they join the EU then to begin with? There'd have been absolutely no benefits to joining something you have to pay for and get no returns from. So they wouldn't have done it.
The UK was shrewd about joining. We've got the money from it, but didn't join the Euro. The economic fails we've been having don't come from giving up the currency.

The Daily Mail? I wouldn't rely on a newspaper that is outright against all kinds of sensible things, and is outright against being in Europe, as a source of correct information.
That paper froths at the mouth on all manner of topics on a fairly regular basis - outright lies in some cases.

Your choice of paper now makes it clear why you posted to me what you did earlier on. I just thought that somehow you honestly managed to miss what I wrote, and what it was replied to, and needed it explained in a further post.

That's a lot of posts you have made in this one thread just about leaving me to it. You know these conversations only take place online, due to boredom and not being rich enough to do what you actually like doing? Cause I keep getting the impression you think this is entertainment, like it's some weird kind of show.

It is entertainment.

At least it was until a while ago.

What do you think this actually is?

It's a discussion forum, for specific topics and areas of interest. Usually the names of the forums match up with the kinds of things you're to discuss in them.

Entertainment, isn't that more stuff on the TV that isn't interactive for example. Junk food TV. Videogames, things like that are entertainment. I get the impression you are a bit 'Roger the alien'? A bit cartoony?

Do either of you think *Bernard* ???

a reply to: eletheia

Where are they getting those figures from?

In any case, those are contributions it says. What are the payments each nation gets?

It doesn't matter in some ways of course, since the economy is a sham globally anyway. But at the same time, how is the UK going to magic up the money it needs that it's been getting from the EU for ages?

Recalling that prior to joining the EU the UK still had gold backed currency. That probably still isn't the case any longer.

Thank you for your valued input.

Your presence here though I personally feel has grown tiresome.

What you expected to achieve is still a mystery to me though I will wish you a hearty good day and next time I would suggest that you try a little harder.
