It should be very clear that we have more in common with Europe.
Europeans wouldn't accept an infant mortality rate comparable to a developing country (see link below) or the levels of poverty revealed by Katrina.
Even when the Americans try to do the right thing they lack the intellectual capacity to get it right (Iraq/Afghanistan).

Really. You have more in common with Europe? Like what? Language? Culture? Food? What?
And what part of Europe wouldn't accept an infant mortality rate comparable to a developing country (which your link, by the way, is total BS)? Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Portugal, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine (oh, I'm sorry, I guess you were only referring to Europeans who are a part of the EU, not really Europeans themselves).
Your last line is just typical anti-American crap that I'm sure you've been fed through the various channels.
Here's the deal. The U.S. is your friend. Right now we have an idiot for president. But we don't always have idiots for presidents, and since Bush is going to be gone in over a year, our next president will probably be a good one. Like a true friend, the U.S. would never ask the U.K. to actually pick between the E.U. and us. You make your decision (if you really believe that it's either us or them, which is idiotic in itself) and regardless of what you pick, we'll still be your friend. Brussels sounds like a grand place to be ruled by though!!!!

what's it with the British harping on related to the unelected officers interior the ecu. enable's see, the main effectual area of the ecu employer is the Counicl of Ministers, that's ask your self horror the elected heads of government or state from the different international places. Then theres the ecu Parliament, ask your self horror, elected lower back. there is the cost equivalent to a cabinet, which the voters at great has never had the ability to administration, who're appointed by capacity of the council of ministers and the two general or rejected by capacity of the ecu Parliament. Now, the united kingdom has an elected parliament, then an appointed homestead of Lords and a monarchy as head of state. the united kingdom is slightly prosperous speaking approximately democratic deficit whilst it has a hereditary monarchy. whilst human beings flow on related to the corruption of the cost. The cost that resigned, all resigned by way of fact between the commissioners refused to resign over appointing a chum to a place that she did not have the talents for. seems trivial in assessment to mendacity related to the excuses for commencing a war.

No it isn't, the alternative is to be independent of both the criminally run organisations.
We have an economy that is one of the greatest in the world and the only reason that the EU want us in is to rip us off to prop up the unsustainable and then pull all of Western Europe down together.
As far as the Yanks are concerned they are out only for themselves and should be, therefore, viewed with extreme suspicion. They are the last to help anybody and the first to attack.
So give us independence and as soon as possible, Oh and Brown can go too.

Half the problem with the older generation is I suspect that they hear via friends etc abroad that some countries don't completely abide by the EU rules and it seems that only us appear to.

Just which countries of the north american trade fed are lap dogs to usa? Those countries have democratically elected governments, which is something we will cease to have as the EU takes more and more "UN-ELECTED" control... I know who I would prefer to trade with, and they don't speak french or german.

the eu is the best thing that ever happened for the working man,one currency,no loss on money changing,you can see price differences at a glance and each country has it,s own euro.the only people losing out are those who made money out of shifting blocks of capital around making money out of exchange rates.

Agree entirely RDJ.
When will people get understand that Britain does not run the world anymore. The future lies in having associations with our neighbours.
Europe over America every time.
