    Depends what you regard as punishment.

    I resign from my golf club
    I ask them to use the clubhouse.
    They so no

    Are they punishing me? You seem to suggest they are.
    You resign from the golf club but want continued access to the course (not the clubhouse). In exchange the clubs members get continued access to a convenient field you own that the club's been using to extend the range. They say ok, but you'll have to pay a huge exit fee first... plus continue to abide by golf club rules while using their or your own land.

    They don't tell you what boundary you have to have with your next door neighbour though.

    Same with the decision about joining euro back a few years ago.
    Who is laughing now for not joining the Euro ....

    There are eight other EU countries which don't use the euro (and neither do the four EFTA countries). Why do think they're not leaving the EU / single market if it's such a good idea according to you?

    I think that was a decision made by a Remoaner, namely Gordon Brown :)

    Spewing blind hatred for the EU on these forums...while enjoying its hospitality. :o


    Sorry but that makes no sense.

    By your reckoning we in the Uk have been enjoying the 'hospitality' of the EU as well then.

    Only quite a few of us have not been finding the EU very hospitable.

    Not Clear ??? What not to understand
    (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, )

    Denmark and Sweden are small countries.
    Other countries ???? Well they are getting more than they are contributing. Is money the thing that not too good to miss ??

    Only 4 make a net contribution, one of which is the UK. The UK leaving will have an impact.

    By next year the non-euro countries will either by sidelined or ejected. The eu is not satisfied with having bankrupted Greece, Portugal and Italy along with others, it wants to bankrupt the rest too. It wants a single tax regime, single fiscal regime, it wants the Stock Exchange to be moved to Frankfurt.

    Basically, if we don't leave now we would either be thrown out next year or have to take the euro and be totally destroyed, we would be stripped of our fiscal infrastructure and our parliament would become totally ineffective.

    Why does the EU want to bankrupt its member countries? Who benefits if 26 countries go bankrupt?

    Single tax / fiscal regime makes sense for those sharing a currency.

    I though Frankfurt already had a stock exchange.

    So what is happening next year that you know about but nobody else does?
