    There seems to be no limit to the depths ukippers can sink. :(
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    May be not the best moment to say this, but unlimited migration from Middle East does let in lots of terrorists. So I think UKIP is quite right in saying so. While it helps UK not being in Schengen, but terrorists can fake EU passport easily and get in to UK.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    Not sure what the problem is here.

    We can employ whatever standards we want when we leave the EU, just like every other country does.

    If you're a factory owner making widgets and you sell them to the EU, then they will need to comply with EU regulations, if you sell widgets to the US then they have to comply with US regulations, if you sell them to Australia they have to comply with Oz regulations.

    All of which happens right now anyway.

    I explained it in a bit more detail here:

    Well, if CLAPTON is for Brexit, then it must be right to stay! Mentioning big business and implying they want cheap labour, going on about democratic accountability and big business... I have never seen any empathy for the less well off in any of his posts on any subject, nor sign of the collective solidarity that being in a larger organisation entails.

    The Brexit campaign in general seems a bit like the Scottish independence one, very noisy and complaining about 'project fear' etc., when it appears to me that it is they who have the fear. Fear of engaging with our neighbours and blethering on about opportunities in the rest of the world, as if there'd be some amazing opportunities that might arise by not being in the EU. The negativity is all rather sad.

    Maybe not the best moment?
    They're still peeling body parts from the underground and departure halls and ukip uses it to make the case for brexit?
    It's truly sickening.

    Not really.

    It wasn't a problem before 1973. I very much doubt it will be a problem after June 23.

    UKIP are not a particularly nice party and this doesn't show them in a good light. Sadly though, they are factually correct.

    I have posted many times about the plight of the peoples of the southern european countries with their depressed economies and very high (particularly young) unemployment
    and the need to abandon the euro
    and the need to take positive measure to help their economies.

    sadly, few, if any of the 'stay' group will engage in dialogue about such matters as they don't fit the official narrative.

    I'm surprised you don't know that the UK has more trade with the non - EU countries that within the EU : and the trend is more worldwide trade too.

    No more sickening than Cameron first peddling the myth that we are safer from attack because of our EU membership.

    Can't terrorists fake British passports too?
