isn't that why we are having a referendum? to find out if people agree or not?
Seriously MF... Yes that is why, but the best place for us to draw lessons from us history (and I very much include myself in that statement - and whilst at first glance the question may have seemed a bit futile or leading, I can assure you it wasn't.

Thanks GD, I really do wish I knew more about these recent European conflicts there is lots to digest and understand about human behaviour that many in here (again I include myself) can claim to understand!
 
You're serbian aren't you?

You still haven't answered my questions. Because you know you're talking out of your arse.
Youv'e been dumbed down mate. Fed the narrative, and never thought to question it. It's a common problem. Always try and check your sources rather than just believing what TPTB tell you.

Go on then Pino. Set GD right with some facts that demonstrate he's wrong.....

Ever been to Bleiburg?
I have.

Of course you may never have heard of it as uncle Tito kept that dirty little secret well and truly buried in his benevolent dictatorship that brought joy and happiness to Yugoslavia for all those years.

A good, an unbiased opinion.

TPTB? What's that?

Edit: Just worked it out. forget it.
 
Nice unbiased piece on channel 4 news tonight. Apparently if we vote leave the Russians could invade the Baltic's and we'll be at (nuclear) war by 2017 #projectfear.

Why would you try and perceive bias in independent news outlets whilst being perfectly happy about other news outlets with openly anti eu opinions manipulating the masses to further their own agendas?

Open question to all the paranoid brexettiers

Brexiters are biased one sided in their arguements, but no more than you are for Remaining, and that's fine.

I don't like the project fear tactics that both sides are espousing but they are and we have to accept it. Boris was ill advised to make the comments he did about Hitler, just as Dave was badly advised to intimate that Europe could break into a state of unrest or war even if we leave, both can be argued and defended but is that what this referendum is going to be fought about? Who can tell the most frightening stories.... not good, I'd like to think you'd agree with that.

Now to matters much more practical... I notice you haven't commented on my questions about remaining. If we remain surely we want to be at the centre of the decision making processes which will all be geared to making the EU and the currency stronger?

I'm sure you'd agree that at this moment when we aren't part of this group we are not very effective, we are more or less patsys, so as a Brexiter i say, if we vote to remain we should embrace the EU and the culture in its entirety by:

1. Joining the Euro, we need to be a part of that process, ultimately it is what the EU is all about. If we're in then let's be fully in rather than being excluded from the discussions that really matter

2. Open our borders a la Shengen. Let's enable our citizens got revel freely across Europe without having to go through the hassle of passport control. I mean there's a tax straight away... having to buy a passport.

3. Getting with the political integration plan, let's be at the front and drive it rather than being excluded and trailing behind he leading countries, we get very little say in the shape the EU us taking because we don't choose to participate-fully. That is just not good.

How can we be in the EU and have influence if we don't get stuck in and lead from the front.... or at least take part in the processes?

I hate to think we're going to continue as we are, it really is the very worst case scenario is it not?

As said my preference is to leave and that's how I'll vote, however, if we're in I want to be fully in, what say you, you remainers and Monkfish in particular?

I wouldn't worry the European SS and might of Merkels Wermacht and large EU nuclear weapons stock will stop that.

It's comical on this thread all the Inners have really talked about is the fact there is only an imaginary de facto upside , that our own government is no better than EU , that that there is real danger of economic turmoil and that most of the other or the bigger issues we face are nothing to do with the EU . On the other side we have napoleon, the masons , Goldman Sachs, corruption , plots, nuclear attacks, jack booted hitler marching on our streets and then they have the gall to talk about project fear! (I accept this does not apply to every brexiter, but it is pretty clear who is using paranoia)

Ok I know the masons part probably isn't in this thread ( I hope)

Its easy because the place is all but f*cking empty, and the Australian governments use of selective immigration to benefit the country.
That simply isn't true (other than the empty part) for 200 years Australia has been far emptier and has been far more selective in its immigrants.

The big reasons today are a floated currency and the Chinese government flooding their market with the greatest peacetime fiscal infrastructure doping since 1933. It's arguable that not enough immigration hurt as labour inflation pushed our central bank to have 5% interest rates to slow the economy and push the dollar to $uS1.15 which has had some huge impacts. As for the immigration it is being driven by India and China and I am not sure that would exactly keep Nigel happy.

No, no and no. Doesn't make economic sense at the moment. If it did then yes, for me the welfare of the people I care about is more important than any ideology. What's so bad about carrying on as we are? Isn't everyone's standard of living pretty high? What exactly is so bad about the status quo, or is it just about Hoover power and not liking the Romanians?

If I thought we would be better off out I would vote out, and I am not totally convinced we wouldn't be but on balance I think it would be a bit risky. If it went wrong it could go spectacularly wrong, coupled with the massive lurch to the right or even far right that would come with it
