"Just heard this on the news. So what are your thoughts on this ? Are the Gorvernment doing this for all the right reasons ? Or is it simply because the EU and human rights are getting in the way of the Tories/Lib-Dems plans ?" I personal y don't think it's because it getting in the way of there plans, more like our leaders might be waking up and we should run our own country and not be dictated to by some jumped up know it all at Brussels. | |||

"Just heard this on the news. So what are your thoughts on this ? Are the Gorvernment doing this for all the right reasons ? Or is it simply because the EU and human rights are getting in the way of the Tories/Lib-Dems plans ?" Don't know about Tory plans, but the Limp Dims would keep us IN the EU at any cost. The EU could have been a force for good, but it has turned into a monster that is totally out of control. Any company or institution in the real world has to have its accounts audited and signed off as true or face a hefty penalty. The EU hasn't done this for the last 18 years. In the last financial year 4 billion Euros went missing, no-one knows (or wants to know) where it went, it just seemed to vanish into the ether. Then the communist Barroso says that it is only a small amount and doesn't matter ![]() | |||

"I wish, just once on a political thread someone would answer my questions without some sarky dig at one party or another. I ask because I want to know and learn about these things but it just reminds me how childish politics is. " I don't think politics is childish just some on here are. And yes we can choose to pull out of EU, it was us the choose to go into it, but look at all the trouble it caused over MR Hook Hand. But don't worry it don't mean we're back to the old ages were people will get miss treated, well I hope not ![]() | |||

"Can you opt out of human rights?" Not really. Britain was there at the start of the International Human Rights Treaties of 1945 and remain bound by those. To remain in the UN we will have to stick to those. They really want to opt out of anything that has come from the European Convention on Human Rights from 1999/2000 onwards. Theresa May used ECHR and other Human Rights legislation to stop Gary McKinnon being deported to the USA for hacking. Funny how Human Rights legislation was praised by the government at that point. | |||

Around 50 million a day (every day) to pay for the salaries of 3 presidents, a parliament that switches from one country to another every month, billions going into mafia pockets, and the aforesaid advertising budjet, to name just a few. | |||

"As for the EU, I am sick of my country being dictated to by an undemocratic, corrupt organisation and bled dry financially for the priviledge." The EU isn't just about being bled dry. It's what allows us to trade with European countries without stupid tariffs being imposed and what allows us to travel and work in Europe with having to ask permission. | |||

The technicality is meaningless unless you undo all of the rest of the law that builds from the basic UN HR treaties. It's posturing and feeds into this thinking that having Human Rights is a bad thing. Equality and Human Rights have become synonymous with "do gooders" and "politically correct" as scathing dismissals of anyone saying anything against people being offensive. Only the undeserving, feckless, poor and foreigners try and use human rights after all, don't they? ![]() ![]() | |||

Maybe I missed the word "towards" but the EU's own figures show that 4 billion euros went missing last year. Remember Britain isn't the only contributor to the Brussels Mafia. It was also admitted last year that for every 5 euros that goes to Bulgaria, one euro finishes in a Mafia pocket. Oh and don't get me on the Italian Olive Oil scam. | |||

Foreign criminals are deported to their country of origin if known. I don't want to be able to travel frrely and work in Europe wqithout asking permission if in return my Country is going to be used a a dumping ground for the dregs of Europe. And there are plenty of other Countries to trade with. In fact, lets look at Europe... Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal all totally fucked financially thanks to the EU, can't see us doing much trade there! Being in the EU is estimated to cost this country £170 billion per year. You do the maths. | |||

"Of course everybody here knows that the European Union (EU) has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)? Pulling out of the EU would have no effect on the UKs position as a signatory to the 1950 ECHR. Incidentally, I find it curious that none of the other 46 (yes, forty six) countries which have signed the ECHR seem to have such a problem with it." That's easy, because there not getting shit on like our country is, so they would have no reason to want out. | |||
