Well said Arista - The USA has very strong ulterior motives for wanting us to remain in the fecked up EU.

He can have an opinion but I don't think it'll affect British public opinion much. Having said that, I do want to stay in.

Why don't you post your reasons for wanting to remain in the EU on the Referendum thread. I'd be really and genuinely interested in reading them.

I stated that the USA had ulterior motives for wanting us in the EU (and its predecessors) because they have. This might enlighten you: http://thebrexitdoor.com/2016/02/18/...icy-in-europe/ But I do not know ANY possible ulterior motives that anyone could have for wanting a Brexit. No one NEEDS an ulterior motive - there is a plethora of GENUINE reasons for wanting out.

I'm sorry ITILY, but if WW3 did break out (GOD forbid) the main ally I want to see 'on our side' is the USA.

This guy states the US bailed us out post war and that had we handed back our dependencies then it would've been better than attempting to maintain our colonial stranglehold. During the cold war years the US were at war with Vietnam there is no mention of this, but may be a reason they required extra funds, or the space race.. It is odd that as is happening today under the tories money is siphoned off under the guise of 'technology' never to be seen again. The section surrounding Polaris is patchy, if the US were so determined to get us into Europe then why risk irking De Gaulle? In essence all I see here is the absence of Nixon ( naturally) and the perfect storm that is required when tory and republican forces collide. As a side note it was interesting to see that France had issues with British agricultural policy way back... DeGaulle, for his part, had the issue of Agriculture at the centre of his reasoning for denying British entry,

Remembering Kerry
|
I personally would prefer Obama to be neutral publicly on this,naturally make his views known to the PM of course.
I also doubt that is all he is coming over for too. Then again as Lostalex says,we get into USA issues and elections too.I dislike Trump but we have had people here calling for him to be banned from Britain. Having said that, Obama knows we have USA companies in the UK wo in part are here for the full access they can get to the EU too. So if such companies have suggested they prefer the UK staying in,then their President should be able to express his view. After all the Indian PM inferred he wanted the UK to stay in the EU too as I believe maybe China has too. For me personally,I am just glad he is another voice advocating remaining in. I doubt his views however will change how people think on either side anyway as to their own intentions. Last edited by joeysteele; 14-03-2016 at 10:01 AM. |

I would prefer Obama keep his nose out of our affairs personally. He is trying to make his presidency have some value in its last months it seems. He has already been critical of France and the UK's handling of Libya when he refused to get involved at the time, and also critical of our slowness in Syria, when it was the will of the British parliament that we not get involved sooner. There is clearly no loved lost between him and Cameron, so he can't be sticking his oar in as a personal favour in support of Cameron, its purely to try and make himself relevant when his term is all but done.

Should we not be interested in the opinion of our closest ally? We don't live in a bubble, this decision does not affect us only

Isn't this the guy who couldn't be bothered to turn up for the Paris march after Charlie Hebdo?
There must be something in it for him this time, probably a plate of dinner at the Palace and the ass-licking hospitality that Cameron will give him. |
