London's Boris Johnson backs Britain leaving 28-nation EU

[osiboy]

If UK leaves the EU within months Scotland will leave the union. England (maybe Wales) will then have to renegotiate 40 years of laws and treaties to maintain any semblance of trade with europe. People with property in Europe will have to renegotiate both the ownership and their rights of residence. Those with jobs in Europe will have to get new visas.....those who rely on Europe for food and wine will have to wait for taxes and duties to be re-allotted, those with foreign cars will find they all have import duties. the NHS will be completely dismantled all labour laws will be re-written to the advantage of employers and the UK diet will consist of boiled mutton and turnips.

Don't sit on the fence mate, are you in or out....?

If the eu want to impose tariffs, levies and taxes on New England (minus the Jocks), all we have to do is double the tariffs on european products coming to New England, We can make OUR own rules, because it will be OUR country.

and also, as to the home owners, and workers abroad, since when has the government given a shit about them? A certain pension cap abroad would put them in-line with people who's pensions have been capped outside the EU, its not England's fault they bought abroad to better their lives. Same as if Thailand decided to make it worse for us here, you just have to suck it, and see.

Exactly why i would prefer to be in the EU with our Scotish cousins and away from England Ghostnigel , you refere to England like it WAS the UK, another dude happy with the north south divide , it would'nt suprise me to see England split in half after Scotland and wales leave you in your cosy little suburban life , stepping over the homeless to open your door .

so you would double the tariffs ? and how do the poor afford anything thats imported ? do you want to pay x5 for your bmw or your volvo? or like the Thais pay £10 for a nibble of cheese ?,..........................DREAMER GEEZA dreamer

So you are a Brit living in Europe then? Better start getting your visa application ready then, mate....just in case....its a completely different eu than when we joined...Mother Merkel wasn't royalty then, she has bestowed the rank of Queen on herself, time to move on.

Noticed that the security bogeyman has now been rolled out. UK military leaders state that leaving the EU will create a security problem, blah, blah, blah.

That didn't take long to get the fear campaign up and rolling.

There can be doubt that UK's security will be better within the EU. Why would military leaders lie?

The EU is not a military alliance,at least not at the moment. Though the none elected Bureaucrats in Brussels,will in the event of the electorate voting to remain in this corrupt Union, probably will insist one is created. In the meantime we will have to do with NATO. Which has helped to keep the peace in Europe for the last 60 yrs.

Last week a list of senior military officer, who were stated to support our continued membership of the EU was circulated. It now transpires that some of those named, do not in fact believe we should remain in.

It's all to do with the fair factor. Will the gullible Brits be deceived once again as in 75,possible so.

Boris Johnson more clown than a mayor

Not sensible like that Livingstone chappy hey?

I think most people would agree that Ken's terms as mayor were certainly more sensible than bumbling Boris'.

Yes, I remember the Mobile toilets.

The blonde buffoon stages his very own media circus to ensure that he is the star of the show. That was not about the EU, that was simply Boris staking his claim to be the next PM. Just what the UK needs, another over-privileged vampire to bleed the populous dry.

that's exactly what it is, a stage-managed show to big himself up as the next leader of the conservative party and suubsequently prime minister. it's all about boris himself, he doesn't care about the people, the country or anything else.

the impact on workers' rights alone is reason enough for the UK to stay in the EU. they want to scrap the human rights act for pity's sake, how could anyone agree with that?

Sorry, you've got that back to front. The EU was created for the benefit of big businesses. The open boarder helps to bring into the UK cheap labour to undercut the British workers, mostly those at the bottom of the ladder. Do you for one minute think that if immigrants could arrive in the UK and immediately take the places of M.P's by simple undercutting their salaries, that any MP would vote to remain in. Next you'll be telling us that the new EU trade agreement with the USA will have no effect on the NHS.

Project Fear was very effective during the Scottish independence referendum and the last general election. I think we will see much more of it in the coming weeks and months.

Scotland can leave...bye Scotland.

but i think England should leave Britain, and leave you lot to try and fend for yourselves, i bet all the scots and welsh who live and prosper in England won't be so quick to leave, maybe they are the homeless you referred too....they know where their bread is buttered.if you do as well as your football and rugby teams, 'nuff said.
