re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
 
Anyone who thinks Jo Cox's murder was a "false flag" operation to influence the vote is a weak minded fool.

We could spend hours explaining in detail why it's just not a credible idea, but there would be no point. The people who already believe this have already proved that reason is an alien concept to them.

"evidence" that Jo Cox's murder is fake to get people to vote remain.

it's quite convincing too!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ivR-i1hTU

So let me get this right.

Jo Cox's murder is a put up job just so that "Remain" can win the referendum?

Has anyone asked her about it?

Has anyone asked her family about it?

Do you realise she'll have to do a Lord Lucan and never appear in public again?

I think that it's disgusting that Jo's murder should even be brought into the referendum campaign and more so to say it's been faked to influence it!

Whichever side wins i hope it's a big win .As a country we need to put this to bed and get on with the day to day running of the country .We still have massive austerity measures ,the economy is still shaky and the Tories will probably tear themselves apart ,the last thing we need is a split decision on the referendum

Some FACTS about immigration

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1466624809

And who pays for the Brits who are treated abroad? Even in this country different areas of the UK argue over who pays for some things. Example. My wife had a stroke in 2005 while she was in Kent as her sister had died. She was treated in Canterbury hospital and transferred to Edinburgh when we lived there and all they could row about was who paid for the ambulance. I think, though I have to do some research, that we pay for treatment to our citizens abroad or at least contribute to it.

Would the NHS have a long term future is we vote remain?

I don't see how the NHS could survive with a remain vote. How can you have only 1 member "state" with a free health care system. Wouldn't that be like launching a NHS style free health care system in lets say Florida but the rest of America has a pay as you go/ private insurance system?

Surely the entire USA would just move or try to move to Florida for the free health care?

He's made himself look inept and duplicitous. From the point at which he came back from his EU 'negotiations' with sweet FA, he's basically gone back on what he said and changed tack from 'the UK could thrive outside the EU' to 'the UK will implode if we leave'.

It's been a thoroughly disingenuous campaign on his behalf and I expected far more than that. Just goes to show how wrong you can be eh but then, the global forces lined up to push us to stay are powerful and politicians always like to be on the winning side even if it means lying through their teeth. There'll be plenty of jobs for them within the old boys network.

The sight of Obama telling the UK we'd be at the back of the queue tells you all you need to know about how the US views the UK. It ought to be a lesson learned for the next time the Americans come looking for us to support them. Given the economic world we live in it's no surprise to me that other countries with whom we compete might gives us the advice that's best for them and not necessarily us...

Don't worry because, as you know, people can't abuse the NHS. It never happens. It's all lies made up by the tabloid press and the various whistle-blowers who've exposed the level of the abuse are all in the pay of nasty Nigel Farage. Tell me who on Earth would travel to the UK just to get free maternity treatment, dialysis or whatever? It's simply not credible and those who do have to use the system but aren't entitled to free care always have to pay for it. The mechanisms for ensuring that are just as robust as those in place to 'force' illegal migrants who those EU migrants who can't find work in the UK go back home. I really don't know what anyone's worrying about - it's not as though we have a huge problem deporting illegals is it. Not as though the NHS and our various welfare services can't cope at all is it. Not as though there are local authorities the length of the UK who can't house everyone is it. By this time next year, on current trends, the equivalent of the entire population of Iceland will come to the UK but an extra million people every 3 years is not a problem at all, we'll just build the homes, schools, roads etc. that are required on all the free land we have just waiting to be developed. It won't affect the environment either because they'll all be given bikes to travel everywhere and they won't add to our growing elderly population in time because they'll never grow old.... :rolleyes:

re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
 
Another thing I worry about with a remain vote,

When this government recently decided to try and change/cut working tax credits/inwork tax credits the PEOPLE OF BRITAIN stood up and said no so changes were scrapped.

In years to come will the EU have a say over our benefit system that means even if the people of Britain say NO! to benefit/NHS changes will the power of the EU mean our government is powerless to listen?

Will we need to run it past all member states? Atleast if we're out we can pressure our own elected leaders do what the people want. I'm not sure sure this will be possible in the future.

I see why the many many famous millionaires and millionaire business leaders want us to remain, I just don't see Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms average would want to?

Why wait to find out? Leave Europe an I suspect nothing changes apart from we control our own laws. We will remain probably anyway, when you find out thousand and thousands of Polish and German citizens were "accidentally" sent polling/voting cards to vote today..... Well decide for yourself, how or why that happened.

Today we’ve got a big decision to make - do we stay or do we leave the EU? No matter how you plan to vote, we all have one thing in common: we’re deciding the UK's future together. Every single one of us gets a say. There's no safe seats, no wasted votes.

Oh I don't know...Pierre.

The president of the USA getting involved in our affairs. standing on our soil on live tv threatening the UK population on our future with the USA.

While our leader backs him up, the whole Turkey agreement fast tracking, not fast tracking, even Turkey are like WTF is going on.

The whole EU deal he didn't get. How the EU as a whole now view the UK because he's caused political in fighting.

he's turned the UK population in on itself. He said he would back the UK on leaving if he didn't get what he wanted from the EU.

He came back with nothing but still decided to be in the old boys club going back on his word to the UK people and making himself and the UK look like an idiot.

Even the IN voters giving 2 fingers to the fishermen of this country that have lost jobs and business.

It would have been better to have had a lie detector test attached to him when he was speaking to the audience it probably would have crashed out from being overworked.

Might have been best he didn't turn up. I like the guy but it might not have any favours turning up because of the whole poster nonsense.

It might be that he was asked to lay low. but in the grand scheme of things he's not the fore front of the leave campaign and after the main 2 hour debate the other night I was happy for it to end at that.

I don't think anymore could have been said from either side as it was turning into a repeat of old saying from other debates and just the usual he said she said from both parties.

I still don't know why they brought Scotland into the debate they wanted to leave the UK for independence a bit like we want to do now so I don't really understand why they thought they were arguing for our interests when they didn't care about jobs, health and the economy.

Well Scotland didn't want to leave the UK as the results showed.

It was the SNP who wanted to leave and ultimately the Scottish people voted to remain.

There's a pretty good reason to vote remain: liberalism, liberty and equality, and secularism, treating all equally regardless of religious belief rather than favouring one group over another.

Countries may be less secular but as an institution the EU is extremely so.

And maybe it is also the way that Britain works that it impacts us more than other nations but as a group we see the way legislation is framed as being hostile to us.

Old odds, 1/9 to 1/12 now. Indications so far are that turnout is very high.

I hope if we remain the younger generation don't love to regret it. Just like those that voted to join all those years ago seem to feel they were lied to back the .

Me either, but I suspect if we do remain and it's close UKIP are going to become very popular and labour will repeat in England the disaster they had in Scotland.

The bookies shorten odds when there is a considerable weight of money being bet on the outcome of something Brian plus the bookies get quite a lot of insider information from informed sources about the vast majority of what they offer odds on and at the end of the day l don't see many poor bookies around as they usually get most things right.

There is considerable opposition to the EU in other EU countries and if this can be mobilised maybe they can become the dominant force in the EU and change policy.

Fair enough, what area was this? How long was the queue of cars? Just a rough estimate, from the entrance to the garage forecourt how long was the queue of cars down the road? 200 meters? 300? or how many cars long would you guess it was? 50 cars in a queue? 100?

Quote:

When there is talk about unelected bureaucrats making decisions at the EU, it is usually the European Commission that people have in mind.

The Commission plays a vital role in the EU. It is the body which proposes new legislation, draws up the EU's annual budget and manages and supervises EU funding. The Commission consists of 28 members, one from each member state.

Its president is nominated by the national leaders and then elected by the European Parliament by majority vote. Based on member states' suggestions, the Commission's president selects 27 other members of the Commission for a five-year period, each with a specific policy portfolio.

The European Parliament must approve the Commission as a whole but does not vote on individual commissioners. More importantly, any new legislation proposed by the Commission still has to be agreed by the member states and passed by the European Parliament, which is directly elected by EU voters. The statement of unelected bureaucrats making decisions in the EU is therefore somewhat misleading.

British MEPs are a small minority of the European parliament, which has no pan-European parties and can therefore have no pan-European election campaign. There is no means by which anyone can mount an election campaign based on any meaningful manifesto and it is impossible for anyone to pursue a coherent legislative programme via this Strasbourg-Brussels assembly.

There is no common body politic across Europe - no demos - and without that, you can't escape the fact that the parliament is using the votes of foreigners to over-ride the expressed wishes of the British people and their representatives in it. This is not the case in Westminster, of course, because regardless of regional and national differences we recognise Britishness as a political construct that unites us all.

That is why the European Parliament is undemocratic. Our demos is British, not European, and the European Parliament by its very nature acts against the democratic will of the British people.

My reply was to a post by another Christian re what Christians should be considering when deciding how to vote.

I understand, from your posts previously that you are not a Christian and therefore the things that I wrote, naturally seem like nonsense to you. That is fair enough and I have no problem with that. But to practising Christians, it should be very relevant.

I don't know who Glenn Beck is, but David Hathaway is an Evangelical Christian of very long standing. There may be other buildings based on the TOB, but I seem to recall in the video that he says that the European parliament being based on the TOB in the painting is quite generally acknowledged.

For Christians though, the 90s poster should set alarm bells ringing, especially with the inverted stars, which are often associated with the occult.
