The fact that no one knows what it does raises the question of what is it for? As far as I can see it administers the CAP and fisheries. We can argue about its usefulness all day long, but the real question is where is it taking us? At the moment we can probably afford its corruption and inefficiencies in administering regional aid, CAP and fisheries policy but if you then give them control of finance then the whole ball game changes.
The thought of the EU controlling the finances of the member states without any democratic accountability is the beginning of an Orwellian nightmare, and it is this that frightens me.
It's also suppose to standardise things companies in the member states trade in, and what we consume but the various organisations are so corrupt, and other EU countries are so much better at interpreting EU Directives written in English to suit them it would be funny if our government and civil service weren't so useless.
Also there are other EU countries who aren't in the Euro and want to limit the Germany's control on other countries' finances. Though as the German elections are soon this may happen quicker than we think. The German public don't want to bail out every screwed up country that uses the Euro.

Erm, it doesn't; it's such an extremely broad generalisation that it gives me no idea of who you mean.
I think he means people who come from countries we have been ripping the natural resources out of for centuries, slaughtering them, bombing them, leaving them in poverty, and now using their land to grow our food at extortionate supermarket profiteering prices (check the price of veg at your market vs supermarket!). so a few hundred thousand seek to come here as economic migrants to earn a few quid to support the family back home as theres no land to grow their own food, and no decent paying jobs.
I think its worth letting lots in, as the lazy job shy brits wont work for £6.20 an hour for 45 hours a week. And this is not some made up nonsense... my last 2 girlfriends have been africans doing just that. My current gf just saved up enough to buy a small plot of land for her family so they dont have to keep paying rent.
As to europe. I think we best wait for the politics and mewspaper debate and then form an opinion. I used to be a europhile, but now im not so sure. Im bordering on the better off out, but want to clearly understand the drawbacks of leaving.

Yep. I'd also like to send a lot of Europeans to various African countries to see just how bloody hard people work and how enterprising many people are, and that poverty is not somehow the result of laziness or fecklessness.
