LeMaquis Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm beginning to question you're grasp of the English language Le Maquis. If was up to the EU - try to understand it this time. If you're going to criticise my grasp of English then do remember to put the word it in the sentence. You still haven't provided any evidence for your claim that the EU wanted to bomb Syria. It didn't. You still haven't provided any evidence for your claim that I compared Tony Benn to Hitler. I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a older conservative isolationist older generation. It's a good point that there's a generation gap with younger people being pro-EU and older people being anti-EU. Typical UKIP voters tend to be in their 50s or older which won't help UKIP in the long term. It's just a nostalgia trip for the good old days of the Empire, grammar schools and Enoch Powell. In another 20 years it'll all be time immemorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 UKIP do engage, as they are meant to. I think what you mean is we should elect a bunch of nodding yes men that will agree to everything other parts of the EU put forward. UKIP keep getting caught sleeping on the job. That's when they actually turn up at all. And on the rare occasion they actually do attend a meeting, with their "Europe is bad" attitude, do you not think that will affect how the other MEPs - elected in order to move the EU forward - will act towards them? UKIP being elected to the European parliament does nothing toward their end-game result of leaving the EU. All they can do is cost us money and waste other people's time, resulting in a worsening state of affairs. I have no problem with people voting UKIP in elections that they can actually effect - general elections mainly - but it's a waste of time, effort and money putting these people in an office they publicly state they do not believe should exist. If was up to the EU - try to understand it this time. But it's not, so why bring it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have just moved from Sheffield to Newcastle upon Tyne. Sheffield is a lovely City. The reason I have moved here is to be near my family. That is also one of the things I intend to do, Join UKIP. There is to many foreign people in Sheffield. It is nice to walk round Newcastle city centre and not see women with veils on their faces. You may get the odd person wearing the Burka here in Newcastle but I can't remember the last time I walked round Sheffield centre and not seen a veiled woman. However it is only a matter of time before they move here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the only reason them women wear veils is because the EU makes it mandatory for every 5th Muslim woman to walk around in a burkha. ---------- Post added 14-01-2014 at 17:32 ---------- Like minded people are, http://www.channel5.com/shows/5-news/features-archived/eu-referendum-poll-majority-of-brits-would-vote-to-leave-tomorrow http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/columnists/article3921595.ece http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/415650/Call-to-leave-EU-is-backed-by-71-per-cent-of-Britons We'll done you've managed to find three piece which want us to leave the EU.

staninoodle Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 No but we're certainly better off in than out. A recent study believed the UK would outstrip Germany as the most prosperous european nation within the next 3 decades wether in europe or not! I believe it was in the FT over Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
