    "To much of rightwing Britain, an acceptable version of Conservatism is whatever Conservative governments say it is"

    That is Tories as opposed to Torys. Amazing how many Union Flag wavers can't be arsed to learn the language.

    If we had a referendum today with the Question.

    A. Do you want the UK to be governed by the EUROPEAN UNION and abide by their laws regardless of how detrimental they are to us and keep propping up loads of ****ty ex Soviet countries that will never be net contributors?

    B. Or not?


    Most of us would still vote B

    That might be a loaded question though, don't you think?

    How about " Would you like to leave the EU despite the economic disaster that is sure to follow?"

    Probably. Which is a pretty good argument for why referenda are generally a very bad idea.

    You will now scream about democracy, I expect. Except democracy isn’t all about letting the spanners have their way. Most people are ****ing idiots; pandering to idiocy is not leadership, and I expect better from our political leaders.

    The main grievance with the EUROPEAN UNION is that British citizens don't want laws that effect their lives to be written by foreigners that don't have our best interest.

    Most of the member states have never been and never will be net contributors and will be wanting to be bailed out because of the China plague.

    Your doom predictions that leaving this club will result in economic disaster in the future is exactly that, a prediction.

    Most of my retirement fund is tied up in China so the better the Chinks do on the World stage economically for me the better .

    If England turns into a Mad Max dystopia after we leave the EUROPEAN UNION I'll probably **** off to another country like yourself Archie and Toby .

    According to your logic you can just move where you want anywhere in the World and pretend to be a refugee. <ok>

    That's because you are a commie and don't think the people should be allowed to vote .

    Keep voting Labour <ok>

    The main problem the U.K. electorate has with the European Union (why tf do you keep capitalising that?) comes from reading the Sun and not liking foreigners very much. That’s pretty much it imo.

    I think people should be allowed to vote, for the people they want to represent them.

    This means allowing you and Kustard and the Crazed Accountant to have a say in who runs the country. I just don’t think the people who are then elected to run the country, should ask the ****ing audience on subjects the audience is incapable of understanding.

    Anyway, I suggest you go back to shouting “Project Fear” at “Remoaners”, while your Czechoslovakian lager is sat on the dock in Utrecht for six months, and your employer puts you on short time because business has dried up.

    I don't read the Sun and I would prefer my county to remain majority British people .

    If Birmingham Bradford Luton and East London Is the future of Britain then yeah, that's not better than how the country has been for hundreds of years.

    That's a failed experiment.

    Why should you get to decide who lives next door to you in your dismal village? That’s an absurd idea.



    I don’t want any carrot crunchers from East Angular living in my street. Well, how about bollocks?

    Let's put the next budget vote to the people.

    "Should everyone be given £1M every year forever?"

    Everyone would vote yes. If you don't think we should do it you're a TRAITOR and you hate Democracy.

    St Austell brewery In Cornwall does a fantastic Indian pale ale.

    On my doorstep we also have Woodforde's and Adnam's that make Ghost ship which is also a nice drop.

    I haven't drank any pissy continental lager for a while.

    A can of Stellah brewed in Luton will probably cost about £8 a pint next year anyway.


    I only drink Chilean red wine so I doubt leaving the EUROPEAN UNION will effect the import of that either.
