    and due to:

    Mining share prices
    massive down turn in the value of the pound


    based on that we can predict a parlous situation in 6 months when the cost of imports and fuel prices filters through the economy

    Do you really believe that the evoking of article is going to transform our situation? It will be one step on a long hard road that is going to cost this country billions in the interim.

    As i have continually said , the man in the street, the average UK person is going to lose out for years as a result. I imagine there are those who do see gains, for themselves no doubt, but for most of the people on this message board, they are going to lose out....

    This is a false high due to two factors... the average person with a few grand savings in building societies and a few shares etc will not benefit at all... all eroded by falling value of the pound .............

    All the doom mongers have been proved wrong so far, they will continue to be wrong.

    We hear so much about how the UK wants to be in charge of it's own democracy, yet can an ordinary citizen ask parliament to consider his/her own legislation. No, there is no way it can happen. Can it happen in the EU? Yes it can. Which system is the most democratic?

    Hang on.... with the falling value in the pound I and many others have seen a collapse in value in our savings. ... mine by probably 50%

    Many many thousands of Brits retired in Europe have seen their pensions f@cked

    Do you really think I would give that triumphalist Farage a pint... you must be joking... He is one of those Brits who take pleasure at their own gains at the expense of others. I don't take that world view.

    Are you joking? The EU's record of forcing member countries to have a re-vote because the eurocrats did not accept the result. Kim Jong-un would be proud of those tactics.

    Stop making yourself look even more foolish and explore EU rules and regulations. I do not post things that are speculation, just facts.

    The GBP/EURO rate is fairly near the 5 year average so there has been little change. The only way you could have lost 50% value is in dodgy shares.

    You must be extremely foolish or conveniently forgetful if you cannot remember the Irish being forced to vote again on the Lisbon Treaty. Fact

    So are you saying that there is no provision for a citizen of the EU to bring forward laws that he/she wants to be enacted? You are dodging the question again.

    The value of my French house has fallen by approx 50% in the last 6 months

    I can reel off many example of people we know in France and Spain who are now virtually insolvent.... this is not wheeler dealers but retired people and people who have tried to make a living in a small way.

    It was your laughable comment about the EU being democratic, have you also forgotten the Italian government being chosen by the technocrats in 2011?
