Are you trying to say that the UK hasn't been a reluctant member the whole time it's been in? That it hasn't been resisting the "ever closer union" everyone else wants?
It is not just UK who is rejecting the more ever closer union. EU recognise this on the paper.
http://www.politico.eu/article/breaking-politico-obtains-white-paper-on-eu-future/It's pretty obvious we're a nuisance to the EU, and money aside, they'll be glad to rid of us and our complaining.
Yes they want to get rid of UK BUT
- Still love the money. Well second net contributor to the EU budget
- Still love the fact they UK is contributing more in defense more than many EU countries in defending EU against aggressor within NATO.
- Still want UK contribution in sharing resources in intelligent and security against terrorism.0 -

Treasury, May 2016;
“There is a clear central conclusion, a VOTE to leave would represent an immediate and profound shock to the economy, that shock would push the economy into recession, and add 500,000 to the unemployed number
Televised Select Committee revealed how Remain campaign Treasury forecasts were based on nothing more than highly erroneous input assumptions as ordered by Cameron to 'suit the political narrative of the time';

Osborne + Alan Johnson said few days before the referendum that Leave vote would result in emergency budget £30 billion cuts and tax rises
Treasury spin was that this would happen “within weeks” of the referendum.
The central Treasury forecast was for a ‘brief shallow recession’, but the entire Remain establishment told us we’d be putting a bomb under our economy
Remains £4300 cut to every household;
‘Neither government departments nor other spokespeople for the remain side should repeat (this) mistaken assertion… to persist with this claim would be to misrepresent the Treasury’s own work’. SOURCE: Treasury Select Committee.0 -

Conrad you really should stop posting other people's copyrighted work without any attribution or quoting whatsoever as it's against forum rules.
That excerpt is from noted anti-EU tory backbencher John Redwood's blog site - and it seems most of what you post is just copy & pasted from Brexiteer propaganda sites without any effort to use quotes, links or attribution.
Poor form...“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Do you think they meant that we would add 500k to the unemployed numbers the day after 23 June 2016?0 -

Actually leaving would be necessary to assess the actual impact of leaving. And as you said...A_Medium_Size_Jock wrote: »It depends upon how you define "immediate" - but over a year later would not be included in that definition, methinks.
Especially when employment is a record highs, eh.A_Medium_Size_Jock wrote: »we have not left yet.0 -

We won. You lost.
What's really annoying about your posts is that you seem to think your position is a virtuous one, whereas wanting to Leave the EU has no virtue. You are wrong. Ask Dennis Skinner and Frank Field.
What is it you think you won?0
