    This EU business probably isn't going to end well.

      Not while the EU carries on growing beyond basic facilitation of free trade and movement, no.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        It came from the deep recesses of a paranoid mind. The harsh light of reality doesn't shine there.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          From the OP's link:
          The EU executive will also complete a study by the end of this year on the feasibility of introducing an EU savings account, open to individuals whose funds could be pooled and invested in small companies.
          I don't want the EU introducing or running anything.

            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Sadly the soup dragon failed to get any further roles and was reduced to selling herself for spare parts to fund her ever increasing crack habit.

                Even beyond that we should be moving away from big government, it's not just the EU itself that is a problem

                    The harsh light of reality may become clearer to starry eyed Europhiles before long

                    Their bright morning star may soon become an ominous glittering portent of revelation ...

                      While wonderful and poetic and all that, it doesn't stop this thread, its title and most of its comments being a complete load of bollocks.
