Sounds like their equivalent of the Waily Fail :-)


So according to you, all media is not to be trusted? In which case, WHY do you continually post using them?

Auditing the EU accounts....
Now there's a strange concept - do you expect them to be a solid, truthful financial statement, or something to the contrary. Actually probably those accounts should be filed in the "fiction" section of the library, not too far from the British Rail timetable. (or at least would be if they were ever to be published)

Going by other articles attached to your attachment Sirius, you almost get the
feeling that both Germany & France are resigned to the fact that the EU may
finally crumble leaving just the two of them united together....as it should have
always been from the off.

He believes the EU needs to change to allow Britain, or other member states, not to be bound by all its decisions. Ahead of the talks, he told European newspapers support for EU membership was now "wafer-thin" in the UK. Mr Cameron has argued a new settlement is needed before UK voters are asked if they want to end ties with Brussels.

It's not rocket science. Cameron wants us to stay in Europe, and he knows that a vote today would take us out. Therefore he is putting off the vote for as long as he can, trying to do a better deal that will make us vote to stay in. Give us a vote to revert to the original idea of an EEC, and he would get it a lot sooner.


Just a shame that he's not a Maggie Thatchers, she would have frit the life out
of them across the water and we would have had this all sorted by now.

Correct Nick, she was a notable Eurosceptic, but mainly towards the end of her administration. But her heyday was in the 1980's, 30 years on the world has changed. Her way of doing things might not work so well today.


At the moment no, her way of doing all things most probably would not.
She became more Euro-sceptic the more she witnessed Europe going down
the single state road. As she once stated, "Europe is history", she saw no future in this
single state ideology that Europe wonted to adopt. Looking like she could be right.

If it's that simple, then why has it failed to appear after so many promises in manifestos "Once we enter No 10, we will provide a referendum"?

You were asked previously if you believed that del-boy will give us one in 2015 - to which you replied Yes......

.....ooops, pushed back to 2017.....So I'll repeat the question....Do you think we will get one regardless of what year?

You're both wrong, If Maggie was in power today, Europe would be pissing themselves, especially if a meeting between the Mekon & Iron Lady took place......

...Mekon would be totally marginalised.......

Unless the negotiated terms are very favourable or a full return to the Common Market, with most of the useless Directives scrapped, I will vote to leave (no matter what) ...
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

For once, a redtop got it right.....

Unique PM of real courage

"As we cave in to Brussels and Strasbourg today, it’s hard to remember we once had a PM who struck fear into the European elite.

The end only came when Maggie was treacherously brought down by pro-EU fanatics on her own side.

But haven’t events proved her right, as the euro collapses and the EU implodes?"

As for those anarchists out partying......

"The global reaction to Maggie’s death shows what an impact she had. Even the Argentinians respectfully noted her passing."

...that's the difference between civilised people & yourselves....

Yes I do.

In his long-awaited speech, welcomed by many Conservative MPs, Mr Cameron pledged to hold a referendum during the early part of the next parliament by the end of 2017 at the latest - if the Conservatives win the next general election.

But he will hold it off as long as he can to try and ensure a yes vote.



Oh dear, its looking like we won't get that referendum in 2050 let alone 2017.......

Bye Bye Referendum
