    Wow.

    I was just about to obliterate Jammin and Omelette for their... What can only be described as patronising and petty, nonsensical and ridiculous arguments.

    Then i realised this had already been done courtesy of the Monkfish, NeilBond et al....

    Needless to say ill now scroll back and thank everyone of your sensical blasting posts.

    Sturll, you were handing out inaccurate information and you were corrected - politely and quickly. You were also given a link to the appropriate EU Directive, which details your right of free movement, as a citizen of the Union. A mature person would be grateful, but you got upset instead.

    If you still think you can get into France without a passport though, be my guest.

    This thread has turned into a perfect example of why Martin Lewis' decision to not have this forum moderated is totally wrong.

    No no no, what has happened is the usual tripe from left wing extremists/Eurocrats etc...

    Its in stages you see.

    1) Act holier than thou and disregard every fact unless it has come from the Guardian.

    2) Patronise everything, even though you may be speaking to people at the top of their profession and all you can lay claim to is hugging a tree.

    3) When you start to lose the argument claim racism. By definition any argument against another country/race/religion simply MUST be racist.... Mustn't it?

    4) When you have been made to look a total !!!!!!!! rather than simply bow out, try and distance yourself from the argument and claim you were simply sticking up for the good of mankind.

    5) When all else has failed somehow try and shift the blame toward someone else (or the forum moderators)

    But for my two penneth on the EU - It wasn't voted on, we were conned into believing it was all about free trade, we speak different languages, have different cultures, different economic values. In terms of Fr*nce and i cant stand the bloody frog eating, whinging, strike if your turd is the wrong colour, garlic munching, white flag waving, French.

    Don't you know when to give up?

    You are most certainly the bell of all ends.

    Sturll, I think you are confusing me with someone else.

    If you think not, please copy and paste any relevant posts of mine here.

    I admit that was mainly aimed at Omelette.

    But you could do with dropping the !!!!!! attitude.

    ok so your saying your a racist? I personally am not against any race just against the uk giving up its rights to europe and the way things we are forced to accept, without being consulted. why should my son who goes to a christian school have to not make a cross and learn the true meaning of easter incase it offends other faiths? if they do not with to learn the christian meaning behind easter then do not send to christian school.
