Benefits of staying in the EU

[Roger Mellie]

So there's another advantage - decent, hard-working, upright (oo-er missus) Poles displacing the workshy, low intelligence local spongers.

The UK decided not to be part of the Schengen agreement while in the EU. Why would the UK join once it's outside?

Funny this - one anti-EU thinks Schengen is great, and the other thinks borders are too open at the moment, and blames a rape and murder on EU freedom of movement.

So you think the Pole would have been able to get from Poland to Calais had visa and border checks been in place? The guy was already a convict in Poland, yet free movement of peoples meant he could travel across the Europe, no questions asked.

Just love your view on British people, it's no wonder we're screwed when people like you talk down our own. I see you're a Mod and everything, but with respect your view is very anti-British.

Can someone please ban this idiot...

He's just a bigot looking to insult people.

You say it like it's a bad thing here....

Definition of a bigot:

a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.

That'll be you sir.

And Brits just run abroad when they commit crimes: Suspected British paedophile laughs after being arrested while working as teacher in Thailand - Mirror Online

This type of thing has been happening since time immemorial, **** all to do with the EU or was it around when the Vikings popped over for a spot of rape and pillage. Stop talking utter bollocks...

You're that desperate that you resort to non-EU stuff? You could have saved yourself some keyboard work by typing Gary Glitter. Either way, your point is moot.

Workers are protected – this is made possible through the European Working Time Directive; the directive includes regulations regarding holidays, working hours, breaks, etc. all the evidence points to uk workers losing jobs to foreign nationals , so its obviously not uk citizens that are being protected

- Low prices of goods – there exists a ‘Single Market’ for all member countries wherein products are low-priced and there are no charges when it comes to custom tax; custom tax is usually charged when goods are transported or sold between states/countries but this is not applied among member countries -- you can set up separate trade agreements for all this, EU membership not needed

- Removal of customs barriers mean 60 million customs clearance documents per year no longer need to be completed, cutting bureaucracy and reducing costs and delivery times --we should be checking what goes in and out of the country

- Free movement of labour also enables British people to live and work in Europe. Roughly 1.6 million British citizens live in the EU outside the UK (2010) - you dont need to be in the EU to do this look at all the indians in the EU

- Easier to use qualifications in different member countries. This makes it easier to work abroad without having to retrain in different national qualifications. -all this does is makes it even easier for europeans to come and compete for the limited number of uk jobs, again putting additional pressure on the indigenous population

- 1.5 million young people have completed part of their studies in another member state with the help of the Erasmus programme. -- americans and chinese come to europe to study, you dont need to be in the EU to do it


- The EU have raised the quality of sea water and beeches, by implementing regulations on water standards 'Bathing Water Directive'. 92% of tourist locations now meet minimum water quality standards

- The EU has reduced the price of making mobile phone calls abroad. In 2007 EU legislation set maximum charges for making and receiving calls. The EU also agreed with 14 mobile phone manufacturers to create standard design for chargers from 2011 in order to make life easier for consumers and reduce wastage -- so how many billions a year do they take in tax and there biggest fckin achievement is a phone charger :

Nothing to do with the UK and Ireland though.

Last time I travelled to the UK on the train or plane I had proper immigration checks to get back into the UK. In some cases the UK government clearly doesn't trust that country's national immigration service so you go through their checks and UK immigration checks on foreign soil.

However some countries I've travelled to haven't bothered checking my passport on the way in. It's actually been shown on TV that it's easy to leave the UK by ferry but you won't be able to get in on the same altered passport.
