Nearly half of all voters want Britain to leave the European Union

[Mikal]

Russia had its own EU until the early 90's and is going to build another one soon.

I wish you good luck Russia, please ensure you consume that country known as the USA, I'm fed up of them dragging us into useless wars specifically created to defend the petrodollar.

Russia has offered to join the EU. Hoever the British were against as they felt they would lose power.  :cool:

We all know Russia is stronger than the UK, no need to rub it in Gandalf.
On a plus side, the UK gets stronger in alot of areas as every year goes by, we might have lost our empire, but we haven't lost our island, or our perseverance to keep the UK strong and alive, all we need is UKIP, and our future is set.

You guys need to stop reading the Daily Mail

DAILY MAIL, LOL. I don't read that crap! The Sun is much more factual!

I like the thought of ghostly-white pasty-looking Welshmen moaning because they don't have their visa to go and get drunk and sunburnt...

What?! The only time I've ever left the UK was when I went on holiday to Ireland, other than that, I don't think theres any other country I'de rather go to, and if I did ever go to another country my goals would not be to get wrecked. Also, going abroad and getting pissed is more of an English thing, Welsh people are much more into sitting in a cozy field with some fluffy sheep.

Pope spoke, amen  :pop:

I didn't mention you, did I?
Don't believe everything you read in the newspaper, at least not if you're not prepared to read and watch news and other material from other countries in other languages. That's the only real way to gauge what's going on, instead of reading the crap found in the Daily Mail and the Sun, newspapers that report on the most ridiculous non-news and seem to get away with writing whatever the hell they like.

But just for balance's sake, here's how you stand to lose out: http://oggybloggyogwr.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/what-wales-gets-from-european-union.html

Remember that ignorance is no excuse for saying or doing whatever the hell you like. The resources are there to read up on what happens where. All it requires is time, patience, and knowing useful languages.

I was being sarcastic... Can we get a face palm smiley over here? :gd:
- I'm from Wales, you said Welsh people, derp.

I don't care what Wales gets from the EU, fact is they are stealing our country, and everyone elses in the EU in a future attempt to merge them all into 1 giant mass of corruption.

[Vincent_Corleone]

Don't leave the EU! I'm planning to immigrate to UK.

Didn't realize things were that bad that you're the only one still living there...

While I agree that some aspects of their community project are a little unrealistic, not all of it is a bad idea. Many farmers, for example, would be unable to survive without the land and farming subsidies granted by the EU. If they can't, then it's British produce gone down the pan.

I read something in El País yesterday which, after watching some stuff from the EU parliament, made me think about the whole situation. I'll see if I can scan the article for you.

What'd be interesting is who'd be eligible to vote in such a referendum. Just British citizens? Or like in some local elections, EU citizens and other residents from different countries with a residency visa?

Only British born people should be allowed to vote in such referendum, it's our country, why should those from outside influence a vote which could do more good for their country and travel than for us British people and what we actually want.

As long as you contribute to the society here and not just come to take from the State, we will have no problem. Most of us are nice but obviously there some that aren't as with anywhere


Saw this and made me chuckle

So if the UK wants to get rid of the Welsh and send them to Atlantis, it's okay if the Welsh don't have a vote. Super!

Maybe the UK can have a referendum to kick England out, and ensure the English can't vote. Super! :roll:
