Therefore we are member of an Union, having our share of the Eur. Parliament. And here in NL, we can vote for EVERY MEP, not as in the UK, per (enlarged) constituency, as coming from the Middle Ages, when every Baron wanted his influence at the Crown.

 In the recent Dutch local elections, did not the ruling pro EU party loose many votes and seats, while the Eurosceptics increased theirs?

Not all British People.

That the proportion of EU opponents is growing has been seen for a long time. But this group will not win the majority in the EU parliament. And then will the anti-EU minority in the EU Parliament then assert the majority of the EU and endorse the parliamentary elections as a minority?

Unfortunately, the anti-EU groups often lack the will to cooperate constructively.

The EU, with all its mistakes to talk bad or destroy is easy. It is much more difficult to build something common, which is supported by all participating states. Each state alone as a loner will lose in global affairs and about the struggle of the last resources.

If, as Europe, we no longer have a common platform, we will lose to other economies and eventually have wars on European soil again in the future.

The offered alternative of the EU opponents = each state again alone, is in face of the demographic development and power distribution on this planet, plain stupid.

it's not the same British Steel as i used to work for. Nothing to do with brexit, everything to do with energy costs.

another coincidence to add to the list,i didnt state it was all to do with brexit,but brexit and a weak pound were reported to be among the reasons.

and it's very strange how these energy costs are not affecting steel producers in other countries...

I have given a like, but I can not fully agree. Unfortunately, there are many who are not well positioned economically. The division of society is increasing more and more. There is then a set of debris: unemployed, homeless, poorly paid workers performing the simplest tasks, pensioners with minimal pensions, young people with no prospects and nationalists.

This is exactly the Group which is activated by the demagogics like Farage.

He absorbs their understandable problems. But does not solve the problems ( Farage has no development plan for a better social society - too much work for him and no easy money to take)

but focuses dissatisfaction on an easy target. These may be minorities (the Poles who stole our jobs) or/and Institutions like the EU (undemocratic, not elected, superstate, shackles). That many problems are homemade, by bad policies of their own national government, is concealed.

The people are played against each other with the scapegoat mesh is no longer perceived.

unemployment in the EU is at a 19 year low,pensioners are generally well off across the EU,homelessness is usually a self inflicted thing involving drink/drugs/crime etc,there will always be poorly paid people and always will be but like you say they are home made issues by the individual and barely anything to do with the EU,if anything the EU helps workers with low wages/rights,i will use a term used by the late and great maggie thatcher,moaning minnies is what they are,i prefer to call them failures in life.Hard work never harmed anyone i was taught by my parents.

Understand.

Many of the pro-Brexit voters are people who have not been so lucky in life. Some are real losers, others are looking for an easy way out. What is not more obvious than to run after a Farage and to brag his slogans. Nevertheless, rational politics must try to find solutions to their problems. Unfortunately, the UK governments in the past have failed. 

Unfortunately, the group of EU opponents does not ask their propagandist mouth-chowers enough concrete questions.

Brexit ok, but what happens, when, how exactly after then? Still no plan. That a Boris or a Nigel are in any position to carry out any transactions with depth, expertise and detailed knowledge?

They are 100% too lazy for that.

FAKE NEWS HEADLINE

The French minister did not warn about 'toxic' Nigel Farage, he simply said "when you push back endlessly it's toxic"
Reuters twisted headline again....

Why do you cut my post, is this not against TV rules.

Because you do not speak on behalf of the entire British people, therefore the rest of what you wrote was superfluous.

How much do you think Tony Blair bets paid for a speech?

Monday 1 June 2015 17:05

Over the weekend, it was reported that Tony Blair pulled out of addressing The World Hunger Forum in Stockholm because his £330k price tag for turning up and talking just couldn’t be met.

According to one source, the food company organising the event, Eat, dropped Blair because “his star power is fast diminishing”. But regardless of whether this is true or not, many agree that he was wrong to ask for such an astronomical payment in the first place. It was apparently going to be given to The Cherie Blair Foundation. So if his claim that he didn't turn up and speak due to "prior commitments" is true, that's a real shame; it would have been a huge donation.

Last week former deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg joined the ranks of those making a post-politics income from their experiences. And while Clegg was mocked for signing with an agency, the $55,000 (£35,000) fee to book him is a drop in the ocean compared to some other speakers (despite the fact that he can deliver speeches in five languages).

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is famously said to be worth around £60m, his wealth coming from property ownership and businesses he has set up, including an estimated £2m salary at JP Morgan for consultancy advice.

But from speaking engagements alone Blair has been able to make a nifty income, earning as much as $300,000 per speech. Indeed, in two half hour speeches in the Philippines in 2012, Blair is said to have made close to £400,000 - or over £6,000 a minute.

He’s not alone: others have raked it in from after dinner speaking engagements.

Just imagine, you could quadruple your average rate for talking fee if you have a stutter ????

Many Remainers on the forum do.  Not only that but they insult Leavers as well. It seems to be the newer members that are doing it.

You should feel free to call out anyone who claims to speak for the British people, whether they share my politics or not.

 

I shan't reply to the rest of your post because TM has just mercifully quit. Let's see what happens next...

 Napoleon wants to rule the EU and the world but he cannot sort out his own very serious problems and continually gives ground to them. He’s all talk and little else.

 While many people will agree, on your assessment of the French Finance Minister, Bruno Le Marie. And with many other europhile, I think it’s more polite to keep quite.

And what, if REMAIN wins ? Looking to the polls, around a 40% support Brexit .

The real fun starts, when the Brits have to line up for a Schengen visa...and see how prosperous their former factories are at Continental EU...

For ME... we had better listened to Charles de Gaulle. Only one solution:

It staggers me how effective Theresa May has been at destroying the Conservative Party's share of the vote, not only at this election.

 

I have never seen such a skillful political self-destruction manoeuvre pulled off since the Khmer Rouge.
