Your problem is that you are a bit of an IAJFEE, where the middle letter stands for jack.

If it's not affecting martin, it's either not happening, or doesn't matter.

Try being LESS selfish, mate...your liberal ideals don't match up.

I do find it amusing that you would say that. You could very easily characterise the out position as the selfish one

Nonsense. Why is wanting OUT selfish?

Because I want UK money spent on the UK? Creating jobs for UK people?

That's common sense.
And you are another IAJFEE.

I have to say i find these constant "letters" a bit crass

They shed a lot heat but little light onto the whole debate

People should focus on the arguments, not list of people

Hang on...you think that allowing those who have put in to take out, and NOT allowing those who haven't put in to do so is somehow selfish?

I'm coming round yours and help myself...I'm sure you won't mind? Can I poke your Mrs too?

After all, we need to be unselfish with everything......

And yet again you've twisted what's been said to its illogical extreme. Well done.

And yes, keeping all the wealth to yourself is selfish. As more developed countries we should be trying to help those less well off, not pulling up the draw bridge and pretending it's not our problem 'cus we're ok thanks.

You need to look at the rules, current and the renegotiated.


This is the kind of myth peddling that hopefully will destroy the 'out' campaign, as surely it will end up backfiring

Read what Marta Andreasen has to say.about the eu Pretty shocking stuff! She was the accountant who was sacked for refusing to sign off on the accounts after she discovered *coughs* er.. 'irregularities' in the books. She was sacked
Its becoming a comedy of errors by the IN crowd. The other letter claimed M&S as signatories but its chairman a Dutchman had signed WITHOUT the boards permission and they told him he could only sign as an individual as he did not represent the companies views.

Did you see the propaganda headlines on it, AThird of UK's top 100 companies! have signed up to the in crowd, That ignores the inconvenient fact two thirds refused to sign up! in all 34 out of 36 companies who have signed up to the in brigade have recieved 93.5million in grants from the eu commission between 2007 and 2014 if that aint bribery what is ?

Oh so now you've read up on it, and decided that you might be on shaky ground with your argument. Michael Gove was trying this one on earlier today, so you're in good company I suppose.


btw - The Supreme isn't in the business of 'approving' things.

Is the above related to the EU? Why haven't you handed them in?


Like I've said before, I'm no starry eyed fan of the EU, and I know that there are less than savoury practices happening. These activities are illegal and should be dealt with accordingly. But you cannot infer that this makes the whole EU corrupt.


You claim 'facts', and indeed you claim that 'as a fact' that 64 leading companies refused to sign that letter, but that's not actually a 'fact' is it? That's a complete twisting of the facts!

You've already shown that I was entirely right on the 90% claim (thanks again for that btw). Usually it's not me 'misrepresenting other people's views' it's me showing how those views are misrepresenting the facts (the case in point being a good one)

That's a bizarre argument, and has nothing to do with the EU.


Your attitude is entirely selfish. Pretty much everything you post is based upon self interest, yet somehow you twist things into some strange deflection that it's everyone you disagree with that is somehow out for themselves.
Truly mind boggling

By your odd logic, I could claim that 64 companies had refused to sign a letter for the out campaign, and therefore it's 36 - 0 for 'In'.


For the record, having not signed a letter, and refusing to sign a letter a very, very different things

odd not rearly just voting logic 51% needed to win, 64% withholding vote therefor no win just a pointless poll, at the end of the day it's up to the population for once, and about time to, to many people/company leaders have had their own interests making decisions/rules for all of us for far to long imho

As Hodgy would say... 'this is just anti-knowledge'


It wasn't a vote or a poll; but if it was, it would be 100% for in and 0% for out.

I may have shown that you were right with regards to the precise percentages involved, but by demonstrating that the number of males travelling here from Syria etc are more than double the number of females, you were completely wrong in terms of the general point being made.

LOL - that's pretty convoluted


I never once claimed that there wasn't more young men than women, not once. I took issue with the blatant, and wilful exaggeration of the facts.

I know but by implication that makes me the same, which I'd hope wasn't the case
