    The most fanciful piece of anti EU toddle I've ever read. Few facts for you: EEC actually an idea of Churchill but due to British links with the empire France took up the mantle of pursuing European co-operation partly to contain Germany. The European Convention of Human Rights was instigated by a British lawyer and European law is heavily influenced by English common law. The EU has not abolished the British constitution as technically our constitution is unwritten. But to reassure you the Queen, House of Lords and Eton still exist. The nonsense you spout that the EEC is a German and Nazi creation is totally inaccurate. Yes Hitler wanted a United States of Europe but one based on conquest. However the EEC was largely influenced by France and only in the last decade has the pendulum moved towards Germany. As a final note it is only one primary parliamentary statute that keeps us in the EU which can be repealed any time parliament chooses to do so. There is precedent as Greenland left the EU. Hardly the Soviet Union!

    1. Since we joined the EEC in 1973, we have been in surplus with every continent in the world except Europe. Over those 27 years, we have run a trade deficit with the other member states that averages out at £30 million per day.
    2. In 2010 our gross contribution to the EU budget will be £14 billion. To put this figure in context, all the reductions announced by George Osborne at the Conservative Party Conference would, collectively, save £7 billion a year across the whole of government spending.
    3. On the European Commission’s own figures, the annual costs of EU regulation outweigh the advantages of the single market by €600 to €180 billion.
    4. The Common Agricultural Policy costs every family £1200 a year in higher food bills.
    5. Outside the Common Fisheries Policy, Britain could reassert control over its waters out to 200 miles or the median line, which would take in around 65 per cent of North Sea stocks.
    6. Successive British governments have refused to say what proportion of domestic laws come from Brussels, but a thorough analysis by the German Federal Justice Ministry showed that 84 per cent of the legislation in that country came from the EU.
    7. Outside the EU, Britain would be free to negotiate much more liberal trade agreements with third countries than is possible under the Common External Tariff.
    8. The countries with the highest GDP per capita in Europe are Norway and Switzerland. Both export more, proportionately, to the EU, than Britain does.
    9. Outside the EU, Britain could be a deregulated, competitive, offshore haven.
    10. Oh, and we’d be a democracy again.

    1973 + 27 = 2000

    ???

    2010 has already happened.

    I think you need to get an updated source of talking points.

    Also, just saying "EUSSR" doesn't mean you win the argument. In fact it makes you look idiotic. The USSR was Communist, or at least state socialist - the EU is massively neoliberal.

    Felix Schalyz, to gain any credibility you might first need to check your facts.

    For example, your assertion that "Hitler's Deutsche Verteiderungs Dienst Intelligence Department (DVD) still controls EU development" is 100% wrong simply because no such thing as a "Deutsche Verteiderungs Dienst" ever existed. "Verteiderungs" isn't even a german word, and never was one.

    I'll exit the discussion with you at that.

    A simple spelling error, I would imagine.

    The word is Verteidigung, meaning defence ;)

    However, someone will be along before long, I am sure, and blame the EU for the potholes in the UK.

    You might laugh, but my local newspaper did exactly that with the headline "French to blame for potholes".

    Only on actually encountering the story does it become clear its a product made in France, designed for French roads and highly effective there, but (wrongly) imported to the UK by Kent Highway Services where the environment is not suited to the product and so its remarkably deficient.

    The fact that its a French product is irrelevant. Its not inferior when used correctly, nor was it designed to undermine l'Angleterre by a vindictive French Bond villian. No, just a stupid decision by a British organisation that didn't test and learn before it leaped into a wholesale new approach.

    But I suppose the headline "KHS complete idiots for bringing in wrong type of asphalt" wasn't quite as catchy...
