You know, I'm not convinced that Bliar was persuaded to do that by Bush. I have a feeling it was the other way around. Bush isn't intelligent enough to spell Iraq, never mind find it on a map. Blair IS. He's evil enough too.

Well we'll probably never find out since the Whitehouse lost the crucial "I'm with you whatever" letter.

Personally I'm just waiting for Blair to be appointed EU President just so I can watch people explode

Far better on his soapbox then actually invading countries illegally at the whim of some baboon from Texas.

BBC News - UKIP 'not the answer' to 21st Century issues says Blair

He's always shouting something from his soap box, and the media publishes it.
They should ignore anything else he says until Chilcot has been published.

It's funny how when it 's a contractor with a marginal rate of 40% we "pay little tax" despite the real value of tax we pay being higher than an equivalent permie, but when you want to argue against taxing the rich(er than us) you are quick to argue that they are better at spending their own money and look at the real value of tax paid and not the marginal rate.

I'd have thought a natural fruit and veg stall type such as yourself would have known the difference Apples and Oranges.

in other words you not very good at managing your finances. At least us market traders get cash.

They are voting to disband Europe and re negotiate trade deals. I prefer right wing policies to left wing ones. They are the policies that enable people like you to ply your trade across europe, pay little tax and earn so much more than the majority of the population

The clue´s in his name. Not the ´Dodgy´ bit.

Vile little man, DS, absolutely vile.

Can't stand his wife either.

More sense of self entitlement than Elena Ceacescu.

Indeed, but Bliar has 1 redeeming characteristic, he's more honest than the sad sack that created the GG sockpuppet, well marginally so.

BOS, I moved into Europe to work before that all became EU law (I had to get a residents and work permit) and at the time I earnt what was a standard wage as I was a permie. As for tax, I get taxed exactly the same as a permie but I have to pay out more which accounts for a higher rate in order to balance those payments, so basically once again you're spouting off without actually having anything of substance to spout off about.

What makes you think trade with EU states will reduce anyway?

I never said it would, I'm simply pointing out that our record on exporting to RotW isn't as hot as some like to make out and it's not going to be as easy to grow that trade as some like to make out either.

[DodgyAgent]

Pray tell me, who is my lot? At least when I vote I do so for a principle and a belief in what policies that the party are standing for and not because the person standing happens to be a friend, that really is wasting a vote

I would give a tulip who is in the group because they're going to be dictating what happens in Europe for the foreseeable future...but then again it seems you like right wing politics

[DodgyAgent]

Exactly my point, oh dimwitted one. On a country by country basis our top three export destinations are non-EU. How much room for further expansion do you think trade with those places has?

Of course Switzerland that well known EU state

Exactly my point, oh dimwitted one. Our +ve or only slightly -ve balance of payments with the RotW depends almost exclusively on the Swiss.

I dont give a sh*t who is in the group. I look simply at UKIP and what they stand for. Though I did not vote for them (my local MP is a friend of mine) I could quite easily have done so.. Your lot have been well and truly trounced in the Euro elections and best you can do is to try and smear them by association. All you are doing is showing us what an arrogant bigoted little snob you are.

The argument that we'll compensate for leaving the EU by exporting more elsewhere is also rather flawed when you look at it on a country by country basis.

Our biggest export destinations?

Switzerland (probably cos all Nissans are sold there from the factory...)
USA
Germany
Netherlands
France
Ireland
Belgium
China
UAE
Hong Kong

BTW the balance of payments to Switzerland is £37 billion in our favour. Take that out and the RotW figures don't look quite so rosy do they...
