Don't listen to trolls from troll farms, has your shift finished now.Of course he cant, he doesn’t read papers ot open internet links. His arguments arnet based on evidence just imaginative opinion.
You said they were forced to do so by 'EU minions in Brussels' which suggests to me they did so against their will. If I got that wrong fair enough, so can you give me an example of a country being forced to hold a referendum by EU minions in Brussels?What do you mean against their will???

The four countries above voted against treaties in referendums and were told to vote again or treaties would not pass if they did not do a second vote, it's not hard to understandYou said they were forced to do so by 'EU minions in Brussels' which suggests to me they did so against their will.

We had all sorts of exemptions and rebates when we were in including the currency. If and when we do go back we won't get such good terms.Those countries renegotiated the treaties or were given opt-outs, they then put the revised package back to the electorate. Who are you suggesting forced them to do that?
I think that's why we won't go back. Starting point of entry these days is accepting the € which we would never accept.We had all sorts of exemptions and rebates when we were in including the currency. If and when we do go back we won't get such good terms.![]()
not when the far left use underhand tactics to get you thread bannedWhen Starmer kills 200,000 needlessly or knocks billions off all our pensions you may have a point.
This is a thread on the far right (and far left to keep the complainers happy) so let’s not take it off track. There is a politics thread.
Their refunds from the EU were suspended until they voted the way the EU wanted, They used exactly the same tactics on Poland to get then to accept migrant number they wanted to send.Those countries renegotiated the treaties or were given opt-outs, they then put the revised package back to the electorate. Who are you suggesting forced them to do that?
But Starmers game plan for reentry to the EU by the backdoor, was to give the EU free access to our fish stocks for 12 years. Environmental groups have complained that foreign factory trawlers using drag nets are stripping our breeding grounds bare, As starmers plans for the free giveaway did not go through parliament so no restrictions were in place for fish stock protection. While French fishermen in coastal water near the channel island attack our boats oyster and lobster fishingWe had all sorts of exemptions and rebates when we were in including the currency. If and when we do go back we won't get such good terms.![]()
The Poland example you give had nothing to do with domestic referenda, it was to do with the independence of the judiciary. Can you give an example of 'EU minions in Brussels' forcing a member state to hold a second referendum?Their refunds from the EU were suspended until they voted the way the EU wanted, They used exactly the same tactics on Poland to get then to accept migrant number they wanted to send.
The European Union formally withdrew its "Article 7" sanctions procedure against Poland. The EU Commission closed the mechanism in May 2024 after the Polish government under Prime Minister Donald Tusk introduced concrete action plans to restore independence Now Instead of being the target of sanctions, Poland serves as an active enforcer of EU sanctions against Russia and Belarus.
I just haveThe Poland example you give had nothing to do with domestic referenda, it was to do with the independence of the judiciary. Can you give an example of 'EU minions in Brussels' forcing a member state to hold a second referendum?
what a complete load of far left extremist wafleHeseltine: It’s time to reverse Johnson and Farage’s Brexit crime.
13/6/2026
"Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage should “hang their heads in shame” for the damage they caused to Britain by leading the campaign that saw it leave the EU, Michael Heseltine has said.
The former Conservative deputy prime minister said that 10 years on from the EU referendum the “bankruptcy” of their claims that Brexit would bring huge benefits to the UK had been exposed and led voters to believe that it should be reversed.
The British public had been “lied” to in a “heinous crime”, Lord Heseltine, who served under John Major and Margaret Thatcher’s governments, writes for The Independent after it launched its Europe – The Way Back campaign.
Brexit was a “self-imposed disaster” and it is time for Britain to “reclaim our traditional role as a major European nation” and rejoin the EU."
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but we would never get the deal we had before so just can't see it happening. Not sure the EU are ready to have us back either tbh.Heseltine: It’s time to reverse Johnson and Farage’s Brexit crime.
