What will YOU do to take the UK out of the EU?

Question

I do NOT recognise the authority of the EU and I do NOT consider myself to be 'European'. My personal protest is to refuse to purchase anything produced in any EU member state outside the UK and to ignore and boycott anything and everything connected with the EU. I am a UKIP member and will vote only for UKIP candidates - or not vote at all. What will YOU do to recover our democracy and independence?

I'm not anti the people of Europe just the hoards of petty little euro-dictators who think they can run Britain better than we Brits - and demand we pay them to do it! The EU sells far more to us than we buy from them so they would be the losers if we quit, although there's no reason to suppose that all trade would cease! We buy more on world markets than from the EU and boycotting everything made in euroland would hasten its demise. The super oppressive soviet union dictatorship rapidly disintegrated once people realised just what a shambles it was - and the EU is destined to go the same way. Otherwise the anti-EU legions throughout the continent will destroy it and all its rotten works by force of arms in the name of freedom and democracy. If our government thinks British people actually support the EU why won't they hold a referendum on our continued membership? They didn't have the guts to ask us in the first place and they know that the answer will be the same now - a resound NO!

Answer 1

Vote.

We live in a democracy. The BNP and UKIP would take us out of Europe. If you do not want to vote for either of those parties, there are loads of people in the Labour and Conservative parties who want to want to leave the EU as well. Work with them to change the line of the parties.

Not voting is stupid, and is only an option if you do not care for your country. If you care about it, vote, and vote for the party you think will be best for the UK. Who ever that might be,

Answer 2

Remember, UK is a small Island with not a very friendly neighbour in Ireland. Moreover, Britain has lost it's dominance since the rise of the Soviet Union. You say that the Soviet Union broke up because people realised what a shamble it was.

Actually not. If being the country with the largest land area, a country with the first victories in the space race, a country with the world largest nuclear stockpile and the most powerful submarines shambles, I guess UK is worse than shambles. The Soviet Union broke up because the Russians did not want to continue subsidising the less economically developed republics. UK in EU is something like that. They are not asking UK to leave because they are polite. They actually gain a lot more if they did.

You must remember that today you don't have a country like to India to feed the British public. Napoleon was a pain in the neck for the British. Hitler bombed London to ruins during WWII. The Soviet Union got to keep Central Asia while the British had to exit from South Asia. If these are the reasons you hate Mainland Europe, you are only being impractical.

Let's face it. Britain had it's days of glory. Those days are gone now. The best cars are made in Germany and Italy. The best trains are made in France and Germany. The most popular mobile, Nokia is from Scandinavia. The Russian Spacecraft Soyuz is still the most reliable and currently the only way to the ISS.

It's like you sitting in a branch of a tree and trying to axe off that very branch.

Love Thy Neighbour!

Answer 3

Quite frankly the EU would be glad to see the back of the UK. They never stop complaining. The British don't consider themselves as Europeans. They a nation of complainer: This have to be the centre of everything. I think they still living in some sort of colonial past, that they don’t need to be part of Europe

They not the economic power of Europe
They not the “British” very linguistic people
They can’t blame the EU that Gordon Brown won’t have a referendum about Europe

The benefit of the EU for me personally is:
I can travel and work in any EU state with out the formally of visa etc
The Euro currency I have no problem with. Money is money.
Any change put forward by the EU here in Ireland, we’ have a referendum just like other EU members.

P.S Your previous question on this
Would it help me to learn French by watching French TV?
The problem with learning a language through CD courses etc. is their limited colloquial content. So what is the best channel to watch - via. a pc - to hear French as it is spoken by ordinary native people? And how do I get it?

Answer 4

I would love to get Britain back for us. trouble is the Labour Party have sold out and cannot turn the clock back. So many Labour people have been on the European gravy train it will be hard to stop. Brown should have the guts to hold a referendum and then abide by what we the people want. Then use our money to make Britain proud again.
Feis Ort shows the arrogance of the Europeans that is why we should get out.

Answer 5

UK cannot survive on its own.Industry is in shambles,economic performance poor.UK share in world trade is coming down.High wage rates have made UK goods costly and no more wanted by international buyers.British brands are no more in demand.Pound Sterling is no more an international currency.If UK want to come out of EU,it has to modernise industry,it has to recapture the market lost to China,Japan and India.It has to reduce the wage rates.These are possible only with regional co operation.In the long run,EU will benefit UK.If UK want to survive it has to reconstruct its industry and economy.Other option available is merging with USA as another state.
The choice is hard.You have to accept that The Great Britain is no longer"Great".It has to make efforts to restore the lost glory.it is the real challenge for you.Sorry ,if it hurts your feelings,but that is the truth.

Answer 6

A petition to the government, nor do many people consider themselves European i believe, but i fear the die is cast, Brown has not gone to the country for the EU Referendum and if he doesn't that will mean we will be part of The United States of Europe and our laws, which we have already seen being dominated by Brussels going west, and our tax system going the same way.

Answer 7

I think the EU secures employment for many people in this country.

I don;t like all that comes with the EU, but think on balance its a good thing.

You may disagree, but lets see how well UKIP does at the likely election coming up and see what the rest of the UK think and whether many other people agree with you. Immigration and the EU was a HUGE issue at the last electoin and UKIP's results were laughable.

Answer 8

Get rid of little englander prats like you What the hell does the british parliament do for the british working people except to invoke higher taxes to keep thebetter off better off and involve us in illegal bloody wars where the "council estate scum"send their children to die to keep middle class prats in university studying bloody media studies and becoming our next generation of politicians who know all about real life but never send their children to war or do a real days work

Answer 9

I disagree with your views on the EU, but in terms of economics, you will be shooting yourself in the foot with the protectionist policies.

It will lead other EU countries to bring the same barriers up against UK industry. That will destroy the UK economy and services, which the UK is largely dependent would be ostrocised by EU countries.

The strength of the UK lies in the fact it can balance a relationship between US and EU. You may trade with countries such as China and India, but since they are low cost markets UK services and products will be too expensive, the UK needs access to the richest markets in the world and they are in the EU.

Answer 10

What do I do? I ignore little Englander twerps like you.
Boycott everything to do with the EU? HAHA ... good luck sunshine.

EDIT TO ADD - if the EU is such hell why have YOU posted questions in the past about living in France and learning French?!
