I like Nigel Farage's politics a lot but abandoning the British Mile IS a good idea, and it has nothing to do with the union.
Don't dismiss good ideas based on where they come from!
That said, forcing the private sector to use specific kinds of measurements isn't good either... Even in Denmark I see people selling a pounds of this and that, but on government roadsigns and stuff like that it's a benefit because of tourism.
@Vytautas998 I'm from denmark and are in no way on the UKIP's salary list, but still UKIP and persons like Nigel farage and Godfrey Bloom are in my eyes great fighter for democracy in not only UK but allso for all other people in the member states of this ....thing... even Barroso have some difficuelties explaning what EU really is.
@Vytautas998 hahaha that is the most pathetic comment i've ever ever heard on youtube. Of course the steady and fairly recent boom in ukip support has NOTHING to do with the fact that more people are waking up to the fact that the EU is a complete sham and rip off and a threat to democracy in this and other countries
Alistair Darling you were the worst chancellor since gordon brown, thank god that your evil and undemocratic party have been kicked out of office, good riddance !
Labour scumbag could not even bring himself to answer the question! And when he was eventually forced to, what a gobsmacking answer he gave! He could not give a toss. Why this nation repeatedly votes these people in is a complete mystery to me. The nation needs to wake up quick, or we are finished.
I just have a question for Eurosceptics are you for or agaisnt Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish independence and if not why? Because if you are a sceptic surely it's the same as your so called UK independence?
@rugbylover2 What do you think UK stands for... We are the United Kingdom, the British Isles standing as one (As we have for 300 years), and we are against unelected bureaucrats dictating too united countries what they can and can not do. Do you think if the Northern Irish held a vote they would vote for a seperation from the UK... Oh wait didn't they do that already?
I’m not saying that people don’t want total independence my point is that the UK is/was strong because it was a United Kingdom if we are not a United Europe we are weaker in a world of large countries developing countries. Please don’t reply about us being dictated too, the answer to that is we need reform in the EU not bailing out without trying harder to improve it for the UK and everyone else. Plus seeing as we still sell in imperial 2 years later are we actually being dictated too?
Alistair Darling is an incompetent berk, the worst chancellor the world has ever seen(apart from gordon brown) and totally gutless, he refused to say anything bad about Europe on this ephisode of question time, because, like all our mp's he is scared of the reprisals from the EU and if he's scared of his masters in the EU, then clearly his is being dictated to !
britain, to me - and to most nations, is a country that has managed to stay economically strong and internationally respected in spite of - and more precisely; for - preserving their culture and their heritage and not being infuelced by a european union obsessed with homogeniety
@lti124 ; When did Mr Farage say imperial was superior to metric? He was simply saying to make it a criminal offence to display pounds and ounces was ridiculous. I think your choice of language amply displays the idiot you are!
@lti124 total straw man post - his point, which he made very clearly, is that it should NOT be a criminal offence to sell fruit in imperial measurements!
Nigel is one of the best public speakers i have ever seen and whether or not you agree with what he is saying you have to admit that he is fantastic at putting his point across
Thank god we don't have to see his mug on our screens anymore. Hahaha. What an idiot. He can't refute the argument or point being put to him so he side steps it like a typical lying poltiician by saying its 'Anti-european'. We are anti european, but besides that - we are pro-democracy, pro-freedom and pro-choice.
Oh no! Someone's put forward an argument which doesn't support my cosy, EU, single market, socialist, non-democratic wet dream. He's obviously nasty and inevitably a Nazi - I mean, who but a Nazi would disagree with New Labour?
Cameron was not negotiating the budget - he was negotiating the Armed Forces deal with Sarkozi - That is how it came from nowhere.
Cameron is all for EU integration - Perhaps with him as President one day.
He does not want to upset anybody and maybe will rely on Sarkozi for his support when he opportunity arises - He learnt from the mistakes made by Blair.
Vote for UKIP in the UK local elections Thursday 5 May 2011.
If the Tories had stopped the incompetent John Major, Kenneth Clarke, Hurd, Heseltine and Lamont from ruining mortgage payers and small businesses with colossal interest rate hikes in the ERM fiasco there would never have been Black Wednesday and a Labour landslide. It was the Conservative’s legacy that gave Britain a thirteen year Labour borrowing binge.
whats so GREAT about GREAT BRITAIN we are so far in debt that we cant pay our way out of it but we can give billions of pounds of tax payers money every year over to the eu it doesnt make sense..
instead of giving our money away they should lower taxes so the workers benifit
britain won the first and second world wars just to hand over the power to the eu in 2009
what did all our grandfathers die for? what a corrupt goverment and the goverment are a registered company trading for proffit and they trade as sir alistair darling you can check this out on dunn and bradstreet.
becouse alistair darling is a diplomat it means that the goverment does not have to devulge thair book keeping thats how corrupt they are we will never get to know where our money is spent.
Lets get the hell out of Europe so we can have self determination, basically the government we the people vote for will run our country for us, not as is now the case where the EU run our country with our chosen leaders only administering the EU rule's. We have fought and died in many wars and revolutions to win our freedom, please lets not give it away so freely. If i want lb's, inches, miles, the pound or any other English measure, then i bloody well will. Sod off EU-SSR
Most humans do not want to believe that DEMON's exist, the dark thoughts of childhood memories or even adult memories you cannot explain that leave you feeling creepy all over push the thoughts away and that is what the demons want, they control everything in their power structure and we are the pawns, the cattle for slaughter. KNOW your Fear and CHALLENGE it.
they are all controlled by DEMON's believe it or not.
Their ultimate goal is to legally kill us.
THEY are emotionless human husks filled with depraved spirits that only want death and more death, lust and more pain. Our earth is filled with DESTRUCTION on EVERY LEVEL, family, friends and natural habitat.
THEY breed greed and control which amounts to the same thing.
Typical Labour response when challenged! ''Nasty Anti-Europism''! Are they even able to answer a question that challenges their stance on ANYTHING without demonising the question? ''Nasty Anti-European'' or Brown's ''The lady's a bigot''', amongst a million others! Labour simply use the old totalitarian party tactics of labelling opponents with anything they can try and ostracise them with! It's how communists/facists always attempted to control, and Labour are underhanded enough to do likewise!
To pick up on one point you meanchioned "Even the powers of the current Scottish parliament can be repealed by the UK parliament." Yes that is true but what do you think the reaction in Scotland would be? There would be a revolt bigger than anyone has seen in living memory. That action would blow up in Westminster's face. To think that Scotland would say "oh we done a bad job here you go London take it off us" is a bad judgement of Scotland.
@1scot4scotlandI Im simply saying that it is not real power that has been granted, parliamet remains sovereign and the power to legislate on key issues resides in Westminster and for England and Scotland to become completely seperate, independent countries would require a complete overthrow of our constitution which I don't think there is, or will be a real appetite for in the near future, except amongst nationalists who whether u like it or not remain in the minority.
None the less it was his dream for an united states of Europe and if I recall he said this.... "WE must build a kind of united states of Europe" Notice how he said WE and not you. Of course he meant the UK to be involved otherwise he would have said you must build. You know the argument you make for not having European union is the same as the argument that Scotland has had for century's about the British union. The European union is much more beneficial for Scotland than this one.
@1scot4scotland If u read the rest of the speach and the context u will see what Imean. We could be invovled in the building of it without becoming a fully fledged part of it, and he certainly didnt mean the kind of Europe we find ourselves in now. He said "Great Britain, the British Commonwealth of Nations, mighty America and I trust Soviet Russia-for then indeed all would be well-must be the FRIENDS and SPONSORS (not members) of the new Europe and must champion its right to live and shine."
@1scot4scotland Dont even get me started on Margaret Thatcher mate she gets nowhere near the credit she deserves. a Prime Minister who was really prepared to stand up for this country 's interests and it was her that got us the rebate from the E.U. I would't we are a dying state, just not as strong as we were, but that sort of pessimism will only drag us further down. Weve had a tough time recently, but thats only because of that idiot Brown ruining the country. Cameron will steady the ship.
@BOLTONRAVEHEAD Sorry I didn't Finnish on thatcher. The cuts she introduced were around 4% and there was a huge uproar Cameron is to introduce between 30 and 40% cuts in real terms of the next 5 years. We are becoming weaker and weaker all the time and it will, in the near future become evident to all that the union is no longer fit for the very propose it was designed for. I want Scotland and England to wilfully and graciously declare our independence together.
I'm proud to say I'm Scottish and European. "the UK will rid us of all underlying problems" It definitely would. Do you know how much money would be saved? It would be hundreds and hundreds of millions of pounds every year to the the Scottish and English tax payer. Taxes could go down England would gain a seat in the European council then England will get to defend there turf. You see the UK is an entirely different animal in Europe what benefits the UK doesn't mean it benefits England.
@1scot4scotland The simple response is bollocks to Europe. Europe is a bigger waste of money than anything else, where poorer countries are propped up by richer countries. The money saved from not being in Europe could go towards our problems. Churchill never intended for Britain to be part of a European Union. He referred to Britain as part of the Commonwealth of Nations not Europe. His proposed that a United States of Europe involving a partnership between France and Germany, not Britain.
I see the British isles as one big family, I know we can all get on just fine and be a model for other nations. But we do not need to share a bed. The Scots, the English, the Welsh and all of the Irish can move much more positively with all of us completely standing on our own two feet. 4 Independent country's are stronger than 3 1/2 heavily co-dependent ones. Dissolving the UK will be an historic event, it is not defeat nor failure but a means to an end, one we can be proud of.
@1scot4scotland They cant possibly be stronger without a collective voice. Im sorry but u r deluded if u think that dissolving the UK will rid us of all underlying problems. In my view the benfits of the UK far outweigh disadvantages as Iv explained, but we are never going to agree. In any case its largely irrelevant as the supremacy of parliament in Westminster is fundamental to what the constitution of the UK is built on and it would take radical steps bordering on revolution to change that.
@BOLTONRAVEHEAD "Revolution" aren't we due one of them? "They cant possibly be stronger without a collective voice" That's why the EU exists. It does not matter whether you like the Idea of an united states of Europe or not, it's happening. It was Winston Churchill that coined that phrase and it was his dream. He was the last true British prime minister after that they were all merely shadows, that got weaker and weaker and had less influence. Our finest hour was more than 60 years ago.
@1scot4scotland Well that's a matter of opinion isn't it, but thats what it would take nonetheless. Even the powers of the current Scottish parliament can be repealed by the UK parliament. Im sorry but Churchill might have dreamed of peace in Europe but he would be turning in his grave if he knew our sovereignty was being sold by the back door. In case you hadn't noticed, I hate the E.U, and like I said, as the pond increases in size, it makes no sense to become smaller fish!
"but we'd only become smaller fish in an increasingly large pond" That is happening anyway whether you like it or not. "u need to lay off the weed if u think there's propaganda going on" I don't touch drugs. But I can assure you there is such a thing called Propaganda in the UK. Some people fall for it others don't. Oh and as for the armed forces at the moment they have a huge question mark over them. In-fact the UK has a huge question mark over it right now.
@1scot4scotland I no im only messin with you mate but u need to realise ur livin in cloud cuckoo land if u think the government manipulates the media for its own ends. In response to "who the hell do i think I am", u shouldnt take me too literally, but what Im saying is that the decision was a disgrace taken on behalf of Scotland that tainted the image of the UK as a whole. Yes, there are question marks over most countries right now, but its a time to pull togther, not to jump ship.
@BOLTONRAVEHEAD I find it patronising for you to say that about the media when my own experience shows me that the media are indeed influenced by the agendas of government. You may not see it now but if you look for it I guarantee you will find it. "there are question marks over most countries right now" yes but there is an option we have that others do not. that option is Independence. The UK is not fit for purpose we can keep on mending or we can move forward to a new future.
"if ever there was proof Scotland is not ready to rule itself, this is it." On the contrary my English friend. It was a decision made on the previsions of Scottish law, something that has never been devolved. Anyway who the hell are you to say any nation is "not ready to rule itself" (no offence)? Dam Right we are ready, Westminster will never go.. lets build Scotland up to the point that they are "ready". I'm sorry but Scotland is a stronger nation than you believe it to be.
England is the only country in the western world that doesn't have a parliament or assembly. I'm mainly concerned about what happens in and to Scotland, but I don't forget about my English neighbours. It saddens me to think what is happening to England and It will never stop until you begin to get your own parliament, your own voice and the channel in which the English man can be heard. You will continue to be drowned out in the name of Britain. You need to become more English soon.
@1scot4scotland This is the typical tactic used by Scottish nationalists in an attempt to turn the English againt the Scots thus aiding their nationlist cause. There was a British parliament for Britain. It is only now Scotland has its own parliament that there has been the development of a requirement for a forum for English only matters, but this could be done in parliament solely by English MPs, but a need for a British parliament remains while we share foreign policy etc. i.e. the Army.
@1scot4scotland If ur referring to the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, if ever there was proof Scotland is not ready to rule itself, this is it. What a disgrace. It was a moral outrage and blatant attempt to prove a point regarding Scotlands autonomy at the expense of justice. Im sorry mate but ur trying to back up ur idea of Scottish nationlism, disguising it by saying its what's best for England, when really it just suits u for the English to foolishly sympathize with such ideas.....
@1scot4scotland Could I also suggest, that it is essential and benfecial for both countries, but more for Scotland than England as a weaker country (no offence but its true) that we share the same army, the British army, which although ill equipped during these tough times, remains arguably the best trained in the world and a much stronger deterrant and therfore tool in the defence of OUR island than would be the case if we each had our own.....
@BOLTONRAVEHEAD "but more for Scotland than England as a weaker country (no offence but its true) " I know it is, what happened to "nation of equals"? "What a disgrace." I'll tell you what is a disgrace... the British Government making a grubby little deal in the desert with a dictator, for oil in exchange for a PTA. Compassionate release " the by far preferred option" words of the American senate. Don't get caught up in the Propaganda my friend.
@1scot4scotland U can be a weaker country but treated as an equal! Look at the commonwealth! And compassionate grounds? What about compassion for all those who died? Its bullshit and u no it, and as I said before, u need to lay off the weed if u think thers propaganda going on. This is 21st century Britain!! Ha
@1scot4scotland ..... Also, I hope ur not stupid enough to suggest we should each have our own armed forces !? In addition, as Britain we have historical connections and close ties with countries the world over e.g. the commonwealth, who recognise us as Britain, and in becoming seperate countries we would surely reduce our political clout and recognition. Relating back to this video, in Europe we are currently quite a big fish, but we'd only become smaller fish in an increasingly large pond.
In England you get told that Scotland gets this that and the next thing at the expense of the English Tax payer, In the newspapers (the BBC would never get away with it). It is also deliberately sold to the English that Independence is some how anti-English. Now if I was English and I heard a Scot saying I want Independence, It would piss me off. That is the desired effect and the begging of the old British motto "divide and conquer".
A huge source of lie's and propaganda in Scotland and indeed outside of Scotland is In the Independence debate. I know all to well of the bull that is in newspapers, in fact everybody knows the newspapers are full of shit, Except we say it in a joking kind of way and don't take it seriously enough. It suits the politicians that the masses are politically detached. Back to the Independence propaganda. In Scotland we get told "you can't do it " because of this that and the next thing......
@1scot4scotland Where do u hear rubbish like that from? The fact it was done 'secretly' suggests its made up. This isn't Nazi Germany or Mussolini's Italy, there is no government controlled propaganda via the media, and so if there is a pattern of unionist bias within the FREE press then its probably justified. There is still so much to be valued of Britain as a country in its own right. A much easier solution to WL question is to only allow English MPs to vote on only English matters. Simple.
@BOLTONRAVEHEAD The type of propaganda used is to justify controversial changes or decisions the government makes. To make people go with the flow.The British system is corrupt, Remember cash for honers? Politicians are the highest profile liar's, we all know that but what do we do about it? zilch. Remember the war on terrorism the media were all behind it, then things changed but only after the damage was done. There is no such thing as a free media in the mainstream media.
@1scot4scotland Dont think hes saying that. He argues that should give up the EU for a collection of reasons, and simply usin the rediculousness of not bein able to use pounds an oz to back up his point on this occasion. Hes not sayin stop grams and kg either, just that we should have the choice.
@BOLTONRAVEHEAD I can see what he's saying but who the hell weighs up in pounds and oz nowadays ? Move with the 21st centry because these silly things hold everyone back . The UK is now a hollow power plucked up by a history allot would be proud of . Sometimes I think we forget that when you fight inevitable change you are bad placed for the future, rather than if you embraced it and used it to your advantage .
@1scot4scotland Im not totally against change, but change for change sake is pointless. We could use both. Many (even young) still use imperial when referring to their height, weight, distance and even when simply buying a pint in a pub! We could use metric when trading with Europe, but its a question of consumer choice. We increasingly lose our national identity to a "United Europe", which would be pretty much nothing without us, and increasingly alienate our true friends in the Commonwealth.
@BOLTONRAVEHEAD "but change for change sake is pointless. " I agree and I think that it's time for some real change, not the fake change that's currently being offered . It is time for England to become England, it's time for Scotland to become Scotland again . In England, legalism thrives, justice is almost non-existent, and the voice of the common folk is ignored . You are sold to others in Britain's name without your consent , that can't happen if we see the return of England .
@1scot4scotland Im sorry but I don't accept that breaking the union is the answer to all our nations' problems. Together we're stronger, and in becoming seperate, smaller countries we'd have less of a voice in Europe. It seems counter-productive to me that on the one hand we are trying to become more united with Europe, while trying to break an age old union. In these tough times I think we should look to stick together, but as an obvious Scottish nationalist u will clearly never agree with me.
@BOLTONRAVEHEAD I agree dissolving the union is not the answer to all of our nations problems, but It is a sensible answer to many . I too believe that we are stronger united that's why I believe in the EU . Currently Scotland and England are classed as regions in Europe, take away the union and we become country's . Everyone knows that country's have more of a say than regions of . England will get a parliament and the English will have a bigger voice than the status quo.
@BOLTONRAVEHEAD I do not believe that England is stronger with Scotland and visa versa because there is a bigger stronger union now . Also the UK as we know it is finished, Look at the mess . it costs so much to keep the UK as it is and it's a waste . The UK is probably in the worst financial position of any country in the world and possibly in the history of the world . look at how much personal and national debt we have . we need to concentrate on our own nations to better our future .
@1scot4scotland Yes there is the development of a bigger, counter- productive union, that if we are not careful we will blindly sell our sovereignty away to, and by becoming smaller nations with less political weight this would only become easier. Debt is debt and breaking the union will do nothing to reduce it! Its time for Scots to get real instead of wasting time with age old anti-English sentiment. We should recognise and value our similarities, instead of picking away at our differences.
@1scot4scotland A union of two equal nations does not amount to a sale of sovereignty. Haha there is no unionist propaganda! There seems to be a misconception that because parliament happens to be in Westminster in England it represents English rule over Scotland. In actual fact, Scotland seems to have greater power than England with Scottish MPs exercising their rights to vote on issues affecting England, while Scotland posses its own Parliament with a juristiction over purely Scottish issues.
Darling is the typical weak liar, as we have them mostly in the EU. All our hope is in streaight, clear and honestlly strong Politicians like Nigel Farage, who is FOR THE PEOPLE! Go on Nigel!
Nigel Farage is speaking sense here and Darling knows thats why he keeps changing the subject to road signs, diabolical goverment (labour) and i am glad of the noises I am hearing from the new goverment.
I get the feeling that Farage is the most hated man in the EU. I also fear that he is one of a kind, one in a million. Intelligent, accurate, engaging and dare I say funny. I really hope that he inspires us enough to give enough of a shit to do something about the EU order. He is my first political hero.
@tdp1909 occams razor is a paradox. the more lengthy analasys the more chance its true. only those who cant analyse and you know....THINK is for the majority wrong
vote UKIP for EU and Tory for May 6... I like this dude, and believe his the future, but one step at a time... atm we r about to get fcked, but the Tories can slow that down, UKIP need to start working on getting Constinuencies. U must remember that you hve generations of kids brainwashed with Liberl bullshit, and we need to get that process blatantly reveresed. we shot ourselves in the foot by letting these libersl get so far, gripping us with PC fear.. the backlash is coming
It's going to be a hard slog, no doubt. There's only three parties which get a great deal of air time on UK TV, and UKIP is not one of them. The biggest strength, the one thing that truly separates UKIP from the others now is Nigel Farage, and his no BS manner. If UKIP don't do something soon, and get past the three "Non entities" that are the top three parties, the UK will become simply a part of Europe, a cog in the European machine.
You know I dream sometimes that Nigel was our PM, I really do...its like I want to do something huge to help him but I can't. He is the most straight talking, honest, responsible, intelligent, boisterous and inspiring MP I have ever come across. UKIP on the 6th of May guys...you all know it makes sense!
@SteaIthKidStealth I couldn't agree with you more. This man and his party are the only hope we've got for the future of our country. If everyone who thought UKIP could win the election voted for UKIP - then I believe they could acheive a majority govenment and make political history. I for one will not stand for the press and the large oppressive parties warning that a vote for what I believe in is a wasted vote. I will be proudly voting UKIP on May 6th
The Labour Party establishment have no principles other than serving their political masters and protecting their careers. If the Labour Party ceased to exist tomorrow, they'd all rush to join the party that replaced it! Unprincipled traitorous bastards.
UKIP - freedom to choose. what a load of rubbish just another party who don't fly straight. The ukip party want to ban the burka, this is NOT freedom to choose you liars. I am sick of seeing muslims getting a bad press and being targeted by the media and far right parties in order for people to have an enemy image to continue support for the highly ILLEGAL wars in Iraq and Afganistan.
@twjsbt - oh what a shame for them. So let's do it your way: throw out our culture and let them do what they want - build all the mosques they want, enforce halal butchery on us all, put us under the rule of Islamic clerics, hang the homosexuals, behead the non-believers, make it a capital offence to insult their paedophile prophet, because us white Britons are such bad people! If they don't like it, they can piss off back.
@twjsbt - UKIP's manifesto pledge is to ban the burka and face veils " in public buildings and some private buildings".
This is not the same, like you seem to think, as an outright ban.
I couldn't expect to walk from a bank to a public museum to a theatre or to some council offices covering my face all the time with a balaclava/motorcycle helmet and not be challenged.
This is pure common sense - there is no religious argument for the face veil at all. Case closed.
Democracy my arse, how can it possibly be criminal to deal in the extremely BRITISH imperial system. The EU are basically telling us now its a criminal offence to display any sign of British tradition. What's next, our right to express opposing opinion to the open borders policy of the corrupt bullies of the EU. Its just a matter of time. If UKIP or BNP don't win an election very soon Britain's future is looking disconcertingly stuffed as an independant nation. Please vote wisely Britain.
There will be no recovery. We are going to get what Japan has had for 20 years, stagnation. Only way out is copy what Woodrow Wilson/ Warren Harding did in the Forgotten Recession of 1920-21. They halved Govt spending, halved taxes on all income groups, halved debt by liquidation, underconsumption & saving to invest in manufacturing. All 3 are after your tax. Its YOUR money NOT THEIRS to give the favoured. Govt prevents new goods and services by taxation. People spend money wiser than Govt.
@Nickohlson Nigel is not as Alistair says "anti European"
Nigel is anti European Union.
Which is actually a very different thing. The EU has hijacked the terms Europe and European. Personally I think the European Union has a misleading name. Rather like the NSDAP (Nazi Party of Germany) they were not nationalists. Nor were they socialists! They were extremists! The European Union is not a Union of Europe it is an annexation of Europe and so the EA would be a more suitable name.
Yeh but rotu nobody remembers Darling's speeches but they remember fararge's because of his powerful voice and the length of them. People only remember Alister Darling because he has a stupid face with funny eyebrows!
Notice how Alistair Darling makes his point in a quarter the time it takes Farage to get his message across. No wonder Farage is always looking for extra time to express his views in the European Parliament. He has yet to learn that short succinct messages are far superior to long-winded whinges.
Surely the Imperial age is a thing of the past? All of those under thirty are happy with the metric measurements. It would be hugely perverse for them to have to adopt Imperial again.
I'm younger than you (just) and well we all use the imperial system down south? Guess it is a generational thing but also different areas have different have different people.
Immigrants from outside of the UK bring in their foreign measures and it's about choosing what you want to use.
To be fair to loyalty, the point about metric is that it is universal and enables better communication. Britain has been a large part of the metric system if you study sciences, Kelvin, Newtons and Watts off the top of my head.
If we as a nation want to exist in the next few decades we need to be competent, and metric with logic based on the decimal system makes things a lot easier for a broader spectrum of people.
Well we can, and most people in Britain seem to be leaning towards Metric. Every nation on the planet bar the USA uses it, Britain is one of the few that runs in both. The silly laws are mostly Westminster being overzealous with its interpretation, this merchant was caught by a law intended for multinationals working across the EU.
Choice, yes. But this choice cuts our nose to spite our face as noone but a Brit (US is a different system) knows what our system is.
Its more along the lines of a yard or feet has never been used around me, hence its the sort of thing I would only know if I looked it up, otherwise it is essentialy irrelevent in my life. Occasionaly stone has been used but very sparingly.
And I'm studying as a Civil Engineer at the moment, so Metric and total familiarity with Metric is a mandate.

I’m not saying that people don’t want total independence my point is that the UK is/was strong because it was a United Kingdom if we are not a United Europe we are weaker in a world of large countries developing countries. Please don’t reply about us being dictated too, the answer to that is we need reform in the EU not bailing out without trying harder to improve it for the UK and everyone else.

@1scot4scotland The simple response is bollocks to Europe. Europe is a bigger waste of money than anything else, where poorer countries are propped up by richer countries. The money saved from not being in Europe could go towards our problems. Churchill never intended for Britain to be part of a European Union. He referred to Britain as part of the Commonwealth of Nations not Europe. His proposed that a United States of Europe involving a partnership between France and Germany, not Britain.

@1scot4scotland This is the typical tactic used by Scottish nationalists in an attempt to turn the English againt the Scots thus aiding their nationlist cause. There was a British parliament for Britain. It is only now Scotland has its own parliament that there has been the development of a requirement for a forum for English only matters, but this could be done in parliament solely by English MPs, but a need for a British parliament remains while we share foreign policy etc. i.e. the Army.

They halved Govt spending, halved taxes on all income groups, halved debt by liquidation, underconsumption & saving to invest in manufacturing. All 3 are after your tax. Its YOUR money NOT THEIRS to give the favoured. Govt prevents new goods and services by taxation. People spend money wiser than Govt.

Alistair Darling is a clear pawn of the european-neoliberal Establishment. Go Nigel ! Go !
Nickohlson 1 year ago 42
@Nickohlson Nigel is not as Alistair says "anti European"
Nigel is anti European Union.
Which is actually a very different thing. The EU has hijacked the terms Europe and European. Personally I think the European Union has a misleading name. Rather like the NSDAP (Nazi Party of Germany) they were not nationalists. Nor were they socialists! They were extremists! The European Union is not a Union of Europe it is an annexation of Europe and so the EA would be a more suitable name.

Darling made no point - he waffled and quoted "many younger" people are more than happy without lbs and ounces.
Alistair let me remind you - the MAJORITY are NOT happy and they are the voters of this country.
Ignore us at your PERIL!!

Yeh but rotu nobody remembers Darling's speeches but they remember fararge's because of his powerful voice and the length of them. People only remember Alister Darling because he has a stupid face with funny eyebrows!

Notice how Alistair Darling makes his point in a quarter the time it takes Farage to get his message across. No wonder Farage is always looking for extra time to express his views in the European Parliament. He has yet to learn that short succinct messages are far superior to long-winded whinges.
Surely the Imperial age is a thing of the past? All of those under thirty are happy with the metric measurements. It would be hugely perverse for them to have to adopt Imperial again.

All of my friends use imperial measures and are used to it we use metric in school because we have to!!!!
We should be allowed to choose what we use!!!

I am, born and bred in Edinburgh and haven't even got a clue what a yard is.
Methinks its a generational thing, I'm 19.

I'm younger than you (just) and well we all use the imperial system down south? Guess it is a generational thing but also different areas have different have different people.
Immigrants from outside of the UK bring in their foreign measures and it's about choosing what you want to use.
I say loyal to GB and use imperial.
alex471996 2 years ago 2
To be fair to loyalty, the point about metric is that it is universal and enables better communication. Britain has been a large part of the metric system if you study sciences, Kelvin, Newtons and Watts off the top of my head.
If we as a nation want to exist in the next few decades we need to be competent, and metric with logic based on the decimal system makes things a lot easier for a broader spectrum of people.

Ah but what I am saying is that surely we should be allowed to choose!!
alex471996 2 years ago
Well we can, and most people in Britain seem to be leaning towards Metric. Every nation on the planet bar the USA uses it, Britain is one of the few that runs in both. The silly laws are mostly Westminster being overzealous with its interpretation, this merchant was caught by a law intended for multinationals working across the EU.
Choice, yes. But this choice cuts our nose to spite our face as noone but a Brit (US is a different system) knows what our system is.

It's just a basic math. 3 feet = 1 yard. I'm very surprised you did not know and you said you are 19.
schchen2000 2 years ago
Its more along the lines of a yard or feet has never been used around me, hence its the sort of thing I would only know if I looked it up, otherwise it is essentialy irrelevent in my life. Occasionaly stone has been used but very sparingly.
And I'm studying as a Civil Engineer at the moment, so Metric and total familiarity with Metric is a mandate.
