    European Union; your thoughts please

    Congregation, what's your opinion on the EU?

    Should Britain be in or out?

    Reasons?
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

    In!

    No barriers - free movement of money, goods, people. All good.

    Political, economic and currency union? No. A bad idea with such a diverse range of people.

      I say OUT. Nobody is going to stop trading with us just because we have chosen not to slavishly follow rules dreamt up by EU career politicos. Plus we could then apply the same points scoring rules to immigration across the board. And I doubt anyone but the Frogs will get too miffed in light of the problems that some of those tied to the Euro are currently experiencing.

        But then British expats living in Europe who don't meet the points requirements of other EU countries could be forced to return to the UK, and those who do will stay away.

          Out. I'm a paid up member of UKIP.

          The EU is bad, bad, bad. Unelected, corrupt, expensive and unaccountable.

          We need to regain control of our own destiny, of our own borders and do what's best for the people of this country. Our sovereignty was given away without our consent, in my view a treasonable offence.

            Many of those who do are staying away in any case. Besides, what calibre of numpty cannot pass Johnny Foreigners points requirements?

              Do you think that a free trade zone covering all of western Europe is a bad idea? Or is it the political EU that you oppose?

              Since when does Britain no longer control its own borders?

                  Oooh, I think you'd find a few hundred thousand chavs returning from Spain and some junkies being chucked out of Holland.

                    Explain please.

                    Last time I looked Britain still had border controls. Whether they work is a different matter.
