    How many cars do we sell to Europe? How many do they sell to us? Who has more to lose?

    Oolish birds can't make tea though. Bought a cuppa from the only place open at 6.00am on a Sunday yesterday; Agnetha or whatever her name was had beautiful blue eyes but the tea was ****ing rank and ruined my whole day. So perhaps Ponders has a point (though probably not the one he's making(.

    Don't know tbh. Must be worth finding out. But I suspect the answer may be that everybody loses if we leave a trading bloc that has served us all quite well.

    I have a multi-national family and it's great. I've got Spanish, Poles, French and Luxembourgers living here and abroad and it fills me with enormous satisfaction even though I didn't contribute to any of it.

    More people mean more jobs. Open the floodgates, let the ****s in.

    If you've ever stood atop the Empire State building and marvelled at wondrous New York, a city built by immigration then that's all the evidence you need.

    The movement of people keeps economies vibrant and fresh, one the flow of people stop entering the UK then we'll be screwed.

    LET THEM IN!!!

    You suspect? And Dan thinks we'll have to agree to what Norway agreed. Conjecture.

    Quite frankly the UK would be as well leaving the EU. We have not played the game since entering it. We are the spoilt brat of Europe and it's actually embarrassing.

    It's all those moaning faced ****s of Nigelshires fault.

    It's all conjecture. Are you a gambler? If you are, you'll know that Dan is right when he says that precedent is the best tool for predicting future outcomes.

    Of course it's possible that if the UK decides to go it alone, the world will be beating a path to our door, eager to do business with an isolated island that just told all it's neighbours to **** off. But where's the precedent for that?

    <laugh> This is one thing the outers haven't considered - how would they react if, say, Germany pulled out? I very much doubt they would be keen to see our Government bend over backwards to agree trade deals with them.

    A myth peddled by the liberal media. Most indigenous jobseekers do not even get a look in when it comes to such jobs; large companies outsource to European agencies in the first instance.

    As for perennial JSA claimants: take a job or lose benefits. This idea can only work if the jobs are available.

    Laughable that Sturgeon is now advocating how important it is that we stay part of the EU and the union of nations and how important it is that we stay in as isolation blah blah blah

    Germany, France and Italy would do well to pull out of the EU. An elite club of super powers would be better than the sorry band of two-bob nations we are currently stuck with.

    Slovakia <doh>

    And as mentioned before: I do not support UKIP, BNP or the NF. They are far too liberal for my liking.

    Scotland would do just fine on its own, eh?

    I think that one has already been answered.
