If Corbyn wants to sperg on about the EU, that's his prerogative, let him waste his breath is that's his idea of a high afternoon, he won't get anywhere.

The EU is a mess but those who want to cling on seem to be blind to the issues and uninterested in the impact the EU has had and is having on our oceans and fishing, not to mention the lack of democracy, so it's kind of pointless trying to educate, they can't take the strain of having to use a passport for the duty frees.

I suspect a huge financial corruption scandal will happen at some point. I hope we are long gone when it does so we don't get dragged down with it.

If we keep our banking structure, rely on capitalism and austerity we are quite literally dead in the water. In or out of the EU.

The EU has done a lot of good and we can't deny that. Its also done a lot of bad which we can now rid ourselves of. We need though, to look at the good policies and continue those policies within British law, whilst getting rid of the policies that suffocated us.
I'm delighted that we can now reform our fisheries and farming laws because EU common agricultural policies has robbed both farmers and fishermen of their trade. We need (and this is close to my heart) to stop the transportation of live animals for meat (and I didn't know this until I watched a parliamentary debate) we need to stop funding bullfighting in Spain, but we do need to continue the protection of our natural habitats. EU law has ensured we cleaned up our act with rivers and beaches from sewage. Before we joined the EU Blackpool beach wasn’t even listed as a beach or shown as a beach on maps because it was so filthy. The reason its an award winning beach today is because the EU made us take responsibility. Some regulations need to continue, not under the EU directive but under our own laws and regulations. We need to take the good and discard the bad.

Jeremy Corbyn is not in power, Theresa May and the Tories are. Bleating on about Corbyn in order to bury your head in the sand over the mistakes you made in voting for the Tories won't change the fact that they're the ones running the show. |

Being in power is not the issue, it is about intent and the lengths he will go to to try to get that power. Last edited by Brillopad; 14-09-2017 at 04:36 AM. |

Merged these threads. I did warn about the multiple threads on same subject. Obviously if there is actual new news then a new thread is needed. A new thread is not needed for new opinion pieces or old news.

I don't know why people keep trying to complain that the economy is in the toilet.

Our country is in the top ten leading economies of the world, at five I believe, if you can't see any positives then there isn't much more I can say.
