This shows that the UK has done reasonably well since joining.

 

Anyway, please go

 

I shall remain

 

Not particularly for economic performance but common decency. I feel little in common with nasty, snearing, poorly informed, under educated, little Englander types. Bye.

The same "Little Englander types" who saved Europe from the French (Napoleon), then Germany (Kaiser Wilhelm II) in WW1 and then Germany again (Hitler) in WW2 and now history is repeating itself with the UK saving Europe from Germany (Frau Merkel) and France ( Francois Hollande )who  would have us punished to prevent others from escaping.

 

You would think these people would learn something from history.

You, sir, know so little history or anything else that it is pointless talking to you. Bye.

A very simple question to the Bremoaners.

 

How has the UK benefited from it's 44 years in the CM/EEC/EU (or any of it's gradual transformations to a Brussels run super state).

 

We have constantly paid in and paid in yet not benefited in any tangible way.

 

 

A question that gets asked by those not interested in an answer. We are all perfectly aware that if the UK was on its own the government would have put their hand in their pocket for all those EU assisted projects. Just an example.

The money came from the UK in the first place. Nothing like being told how to spend your own money.

 

If you want to see EU money at work, visit the Costa Del Sol where they have spent billions of EU money of motorways that are not needed, and elsewhere they have airports that are moth balled. Not only Spain but Portugal as well.

The list of wasted EU money is endless. Failed Socialist projects. History is full of them

You obviously missed the point, left to their own devices the UK government would never support the same range of projects as the EU.

 

Maybe you have selective memory syndrome if you believe that the UK government has never thrown huge amounts of money down the drain, but two wrongs do not make a right.
