European Integration is a great way to avoid any potential conflicts between Europe nations in the future. If all our resources and included in a common market, it would be nearly impossible for one member to go to war with another.
Would it not be better if we referred to ourselves as European as opposed to British, French or German?? It would surely remove the negative conitations they bring and help bridge the divisions between our nations.
Economic Migrants are vital to the UK economy. They are willing to do the jobs our own people consider below themselves. Not to mention that most economic migrants bring a much better work ethic to the country than our own people.
Turkey has been on the membership waiting list for decades, seeing dozens of poorer and less-ready countries join ahead of them. So long as it agrees to the reforms the EU has proposed, such as the end to capital punishment, equal human rights for all and to abide by EU legislation, then there is no reason for it to be rejected. Who knows, it might help the West and Middle East understand each other better.

Yes, its common sense!! Immigration policy is an EU policy, something our government has failed to tell people. The government say....."We have have always been completely open about our case for migration," said Downing Street . That is simply not true. Labour has never formally announced that it is committed to increasing immigration indefinitely: the closest any minister came to it was David Blunkett, who, as Home Secretary, announced that he thought there was "no natural limit" to the number of immigrants Britain could absorb.But that's about it. There was nothing about increasing immigration in Labour's manifesto of 1997, or of 2001, or of 2005.The only justification the Government has ever given for increasing immigration is the economic benefits it alleges immigration has for the existing population. But those benefits are a mirage, and if they are the only justification the Government has, it is following a policy which is based on a fundamental error.We desperately need an honest debate on the issue,the situation is set to get worse!. But if the Government's record is anything to go by, it will do everything it can to prevent one...

I am anti european. I voted NO and have never met anyone yet who voted YES. Ted Heath was out of order, he was only supposed to negotiate terms, sort of test the waters if you like, but the jolly pufter sailor boy took us in. We've been going down the crapper ever since. I prefer countries to maintain their individuality and have laws and regulations to suit themselves. Sort of like being good neighbours but like a neighbour that doesn't want to come and live in your house cos you've made it better than theirs. One size does NOT fit all. History should teach us that Empires do not work and the EU is nothing but an empire by another name. Each country is out for what's in it for them regardless of how they will affect others. Why do you think they are all falling over one and other to get in. They want to dump there crap on us and were soft enough to accept it. Just look in France and you will see signs in all languages with arrows pointing ENGLAND THIS WAY. Why do you think they built the Songat camp where they did. When you consider the market that exists outside the EU why do we bother kidding ourselves that we are better off trading with member states.
Don't go on about migrant workers cos if your pro european then thats what you'll get.
I'm sick to the back teeth of all of this lovey dovey stuff when you know full well if the sh** hits the fan we'll be on our own. The only difference this time is that they wont need to invade cos their already here.

Churchill supported a common market as a means of avoiding future european conflicts, he never proposed mass migration.
Regarding Turkey they were promised membership by John Major as a reward for their bases being used in the gulf war.
The sectarian war is between turks and kurds the later of which this country gives asylem to and who in fact run the majority of the keebab houses .

When Winston proposed to unite Europe things were very different from today,
The main one being the difference in the population of Europe, 3 years after the second world war finished millions of our finest men were dead or badly injured, and to stave of the poss able threat from the Soviet union, I think he hoped that a United Nations of Europe armed forces would hold them off, I'm sure if he was alive and in power today, this country would still be Great Britain, instead of the multicoloured swopshop it is, and much stronger for it
God save the Queen.

Churchill proposed a United States of Europe but did not include us in this proposal.

Me too, I think a united Europe can only be a good thing, but it is a question of where we draw our European borders. Turkey is not European, I say this in a cultural sense not a geographic one.
Mind you I think it is only a question of time before the UK becomes part of pakistan.
