What is to gain from the EU?

Question

What does Britain stand to gain from the EU? We send a lot of money and power to Europe... so what do we have to get out of it?

Answer 1

The only ones that gain are Politicians and those who lost in the wars.

Answer 2

Well, let's look at it from a history stand-point. At NO time in the past, apart from one time in the 1600's, have the great British population ever been asked about whether they want a monarchy, or parliament. The pound, which some people forget is only a tool, was imposed when the groat was superceded, and no question from the bosses to the little people. The so-called "United Kingdom" was imposed by the winners with the biggest killer army, and no choice to the others. The Americans and Japanese, through their companies have more control and effect on British lives than the British Government. A local councillor has more power than an MP. Let's not forget that our rivers, air quality, beaches are worse than they could be directly because the Fascist Thatcher vetoed the measures that would have given us cleaner rivers, power stations, beaches and drinking water. The EU is our last chance to stand against the dominance of the American/Japanese Alliance, for my part I want to be a European rather than an American colony, dominated by the mongrels over there. As to what we get, look at figures from the NSO, just look at where we trade. Look at how many of our students get to study in Europe and come back with a better education. We get the chance to see that when it comes to education, health care, rail travel, road provision, sustainable power generation, quality housing, environment protection, community cohesion, pension provision, help for retirement-aged people, Britain lags well behind most countries in Europe. An isolationist attitude to Europe will lower standards here in Britain, but if that is what you are interested in, go for it. Be a 3rd rate nation, with all the good bits taken by America and Japan, and have a country that will only continue to slide down the road that American society is already down. Do we want the killings, the drugs, the sexual diseases that riddle America. I don't. SO the EU is our best chance to avoid that.

Answer 3

We, as in the working man/woman don't get a thing, the Politicians however get more money for less responsibility. Immigrants get a free pass to any "state" they see fit and corruption/greed will be rife amongst the financial elite.

We however will continue to get shafted by the Euroturds. Give it 10 years time the EU superstate will crumble under it's own greed, corruption, beaurocracy and lies like the old USSR did and thats when our problems will really start.

Answer 4

Visit EU countries, make yor own mind up, I have.

The jaundiced view we have of the EU is just Government propaganda, we may be in the EU but we have never joined.

Fact is UK leaders are out of their depth intellectually and politically when compared with their EU counterparts subsequently the participating EU countries are cleaner, more socially responsible, safer, better educated, better treated and have the Euro so Banks cant fleece travellers in the EU, unlike the UK.

Answer 5

The complete and utter destruction of this once fine country. Everything that has gone wrong in this country in the last 35yrs can be laid squarely at the feet of this corrupt institution. How blind can we be? It is time we got free of it, how do we do it? Simple, vote for the party that feels the way you do. Bombard government/your MP with letters, e-mails, petitions whatever, saying you will withold your vote from them till we have a referendum on this issue.

Answer 6

Cheap labour for the bosses driving our wages down and putting us out of work, and rising unemployment as we try to provide jobs for half of Eastern Europe as well as our own people

Lots of unelected EUrocrats telling us what to do.

For the average working class Brit thats about it.

Still, the rich can retire to Spain, or go skiing or go holidaying in the South of France without having to worry about remembering their passports so I guess thats OK isn't it?

Answer 7

Well, you get that lovely open borders policy that allows criminals to flow freely and locate anywhere they choose. Any EU profits will be spent on resealing borders, setting up stricter checkpoints and battling criminal strongholds in what were once nice areas to live.

Answer 8

Sweet FA, unles you're a politician on the EU gravy train.

Answer 9

The freedom to live and work in countries that you have previously had no interest in visiting because you can't speak their language. It's a great thing. lol :-/

Answer 10

Unwanted and unneeded import of unskilled pi-keys to rape the state, murder its children put its infrastructure under breaking point pressure

merry Christmas fellow Europeans
