Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostIt became part of the EEC in 1979. However, the UK always retained the power to leave the EEC / EC / EU at any point without giving notice, if it didn't like the European Parliament.
but then 1979 was actually 36 years ago.
and to put that into context 36 years prior to 1979 was 1943 and all that that entailed.
The point I guess is that was what correct 36 years ago may no longer be valid in todays world.Comment

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostWhich has no relationship to the argument that the EU is an unelected dictatorship, or your apparent view that member states cannot leave the EU at any point without giving two years' notice.
Never really gone along with the EU being an unelected dictatorship - more that it has just happened to come into being and now we are looking and saying we do not believe the being part of that is adding value to the UK.Comment

So we join the AA because we want them to come and recover our car when it breaks down.
But what about when the AA changes its rules, so that it gets to tell us how to drive, where to park. And then further down the line starts telling us which shed we're allowed in the garden and which brand of beans to buy in the supermarket. Oh, and you have to transfer the deeds of your house to them and allow them to come and shag your wife. And that not only do we have to pay the cost of our membership, but that there are a load of members driving Yugos and Ladas and we should probably pay for their cars to be fixed and let them drive ours at the same time.
i.e. they go beyond the remit of what you wanted in the first place.
Isn't it right that we say "sod off"? And when we do, they threaten to take the engine and the steering wheel of our car with them? And every other AA member has to agree how we leave?
All we ever wanted was for them to fix our car or tow it to the nearest garage.Taking a break from contractingComment
