webfact Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 UK tabloid urges Britain to free itself from ‘dictatorial Brussels’LONDON: -- The UK’s Brexit campaign has been given a boost my media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.His Sun tabloid is urging its readers to quit the European Union as opinion polls suggest momentum is swinging in favour of the ‘leave’ camp.The UK’s biggest newspaper says“we must set ourselves free from dictatorial Brussels.”The British people will vote in a referendum next week (June 23) either to remain in the EU or withdraw from the bloc.Dual nationalsMany Britons living in France are applying for French nationality .. including Collette Taylor-Jones. She’s worried about having to apply for a residence permit if Britain leaves the bloc.“I decided to change my nationality when the whole ‘Brexit’ story started because I actually was kind of worried that I would have to ask for what we call a ‘titre de sejour’ [residence permit] to be able to keep on living and working in a country where I’ve been my whole life,” says Taylor-Jones.If Britain does leave the EU, it may be able to stay in the European Economic Area (EEA) alongside non-EU member states Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.At this stage, there is a lot of uncertainty. A withdrawal from the bloc would likely take years to negotiate. -- (c) Copyright Euronews 2016-06-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I imagine many EU citizens would like to be free of dictatorial Brussels, but few of them will ever get the chance to have a say due to their own dictatorial governments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you are absolutely right. With an absolute disaster looming, I really don't know what to suggest. I wish the accepted laws (unfortunately there is no so called constitution in the UK) would allow the Sovereign to voice a view in this "live or die" situation for the UK. It looks as though this may be the only possibility for common sense to take effect in the UK, with the voters, who mostly don't seem to understand the implications. Unfortunately this step seems impossible and "unconstitutional". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaidream Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 The smartest thing the UK did was to never enter the money union and adopt the Euro. The pound is sacrosanct. However,leaving the EU may have unforeseen consequences economically. As an American, I certainly do not know all the nuances of an exit or a remain. In either event- Americans will always be friends with the UK and support its result, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I imagine many EU citizens would like to be free of dictatorial Brussels, but few of them will ever get the chance to have a say due to their own dictatorial governments. It has taken 35 years push and the rise of UKIP (in 2015 they polled 4m which was three times the total vote for the SNP in Scotland) to get this vote. Cameron never realised the promise of a referendum would actually get him a majority government when he made the promise in 2014. A vote for remain will be much more than any "status quo" as the EU will push on towards the undemocratic federal states of Europe and the middle east that the bureaucrats want.

I do believe the headline of that edition of the Sun was printed the day before the election and portrayed Kinnock on the front page with a huge light bulb above him and the headline "screamed" If he is elected will the last person to leave Britain turn off the lights" or to that effect and the next day Major swept into power - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidream Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Almost every Brit that I know or speak with wants to leave the EU. Apparently, many Uk citizens has had enough of the EU policies that are opposed by many in the UK. If the UK does pull out expect a temporary decline in both the Pound and Euro but then a stronger Pound and a weaker Euro. Once Britain pulls out expect Germany to go next.
