    Mind you, they can all also settle in the UK. Just waiting for all the 419'ers to move in next door to some of our more nationalistic people

    Just think, all that money that the UK puts into the 'corrupt, un-democratic' EU could now go to many of those fine upstanding countries
    The point is the UK gets to make its own decisions. which EU countries are fine and upstanding?

      I presume you're talking about if the UK is not in the EU otherwise that quite of demolishes one of the main arguments of Brexit. No EU, in fact no country, is fine and upstanding (although I think most of the EU ones are possibly a lot more honest than many Commonwealth ones) however one of the functions of the EU is to try and create a fine and upstanding community but it doesn't seem to work that way, sadly.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Too happy, going off your quote.

              Why on earth would it?

                This is a compliment?

                  Was that a statement or a question?
                  How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                      Hey that's all the free trade partners the UK will have left, so you gotta give them something, right?

                      Seriously though I'll be glad when this English debate/referendum is over. I expect the government to do a lot of stuff with taxes and such that gets buried under this nonsense. But you know, it's all about sovereignty and controlling our national destiny, so that's more important.
