Britain more isolated than ever after treaty veto

Shit son the youtube politicians are at it again!

@asdasdasdfdfd333

Yeah... but UK is still US bitch (:

[RipCruncher1]

The day the French and Germans start giving us orders it'll be a cold day in hell. My God, what short memories some people have. You're lucky you still have your own fucking countries to live in you arrogant little bastards.

[Verminator4]

Nick Clegg should show Dave the finger and destroy the coalition. It's his last chance to prove that he still has a spine.

[stifler4041]

The 1986 album The Ghost of Cain by the English rock band New Model Army features a track called "51st State", which refers to Britain under Margaret Thatcher who herself proclaimed Britain to be the 51st state of America in one of her speeches. The song "Heartland" on the 1986 album Infected, by the British band The The, ends with the refrain "This is the 51st state of the U.S.A."

[stifler4041]

UK veto threat to EU’s work

"Most French leaders seemed convinced British loyalties lay with the Americans and to a lesser degree with the Commonwealth, therefore, they did not qualify to be part of an integrated Europe."

Even France knows it.

The United Kingdom has sometimes been called the 51st state due to the close and "special" relationship between the two countries which began with Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill during World War II.

[asdasdasdfdfd333]

@stifler4041 Thatchers 51st state comment was a friendly gesture, if you actually take it seriously then you are completely deluded because american culture is extremely unpopular in the UK and we don't think much of your politics either. If you had stayed in the commonwealth your country might be less of a christian shithole and would be more like Canada or Australia, somewhere nice to live.

[stifler4041]

@asdasdasdfdfd333

That was insulting to your own country talk about no pride. So does yours :P Well we're not in the commonwealth and UK bow to the US

[stifler4041]

Not correct?

Copy and paste UK military steps up plans for Iran attack amid fresh nuclear fears

The guardian should pop up

"The Ministry of Defence believes the US may decide to fast-forward plans for targeted missile strikes at some key Iranian facilities. British officials say that if Washington presses ahead it will seek, and receive, UK military help for any mission, despite some deep reservations within the coalition government."

That's being a straight up bitch.

[10001110101110010111]

I will try and put into context one of the treaty changes so our American Friends who are no doubt scratching their heads and wondering WTF. As an American would you submit your budgets to Mexico for approval before you could enact them? Would you allow Mexico to issue America with fines should they not meet their budget? if as an American you answer any of those two questions with NO then you must understand why the Veto was predictable.

[10001110101110010111]

David Cameron could do nothing but Veto because what the Germans and French wanted were treaty changes which will affect Sovereignty on those who sign up to it. Saying yes to the treaty would Automatically Trigger a Referendum in Britain. What this treaty proposes so far is just Austerity which as we all know reduces the number of jobs more unemployment causes higher debt and less tax income then the country's credit rating is dropped making borrowing expensive and debt growth is faster

[mieroth]

Britain is USA's bitch. Surely no one is surprised by this?

[plym0uth2]

i am starting to feel like we have more in common with the usa then the eu . my sister is from norway and they do just fine without the eu

[MrJayguess]

cont) After all, many of the other G8 go it alone. Norway is not in the EU & yet has free trade with it plus one of the highest standards of living in the world. Being in Europe is no passport to trade (remember the illegal UK Beef ban imposed by the French?) nor peace (that's NATO's job). Leave these sly, corrupt, Britain's-money-&-oil-grabbing leaders to their own devices & let's stand on our own, with the Commonwealth and US cousins once more. THEY stood by us in 2 world wars.

[MrJayguess]

As Boris said, 'Cameron has played a blinder'. You have to remember that taxing the fiscal policy means diddly-squat to the French and germans who deal with less than 4% of foreign monetary trade. London is the largest trading market in the world, dealing in over 40% of world trade, so any taxation would ruin it and divert trade to Tokyo, New York etc, weakening Europe even further. Now let's hope Cameron is brave enough to leave this corrupt gang altogether. cont...

[1AnimalMother1]

Looks like a win-win to me, no need for animosity.Eurozone is going to implement some much needed fiscal responisiblity among it's members, and Cameron protected London's Bankers. Britain will be fine and vice versa, it's all good.

[PavlovsCat100]

It is a disgrace in a modern democracy that the people have no say in matters as important as these. Only when elected politicians are given a better, more immediate system of representing their people will everyone feel empowered. We vote on Strictly Ballroom for gods sake. Take the guesswork out of it. Ask us and we will tell you what to do.

[yxcvbnm123ification]

what merkozy did was very good.France has finaly learnt that England are only trouble makers,causing wars and problems.The sooner the get kicked out of the Euro-Zone the better.Let them keep the City and on the other hand loose the EU as an export market.The EU must kick them out and impose very high import duty on their goods.

Finaly England is isolated in Europe and gone are the days.Perhaps they should go take some colonies??????????????hahaha,w­ill never happen again.

[wootty37]

@yxcvbnm123ification England are not trouble makers.We just won't lie down and get shit on like the rest of the EU.We are not in Euro Zone.If trading is so good with the EU why do we run at a loss every year for trading with the EU.Plus it costs us billions to keep up with stupid laws and regulations.The EU has killed Great Britain off.PMSL because the EU countrys need us more than we need them.We buy more from the EU than we sell.If we said up yours to the EU we could put them in recession.

[somethinextra]

He was concerned about the bankers and co..makes him popular with them,wont stop them awarding themselves big bonus payments will it..

[leerees]

@somethinextra You are living in the dream world, the people that get big bonus like that are few and far between. I'd also love to see you try and do my job as a stock broker, up at 5:30am, finish at 11pm at night only to see 60% of my earnings paying for lazy bums like you to get free council houses whilst I can't even afford a mortgage. For all the hard work I'm what £15k better off? This country penalises higher rate tax payers to the point where most of the talent has left.

[somethinextra]

@leerees Its leeches like you that ruin this country,why don't you follow, so called talent out of the country,as for being a council house tenant,and a lazy bum,you don,t know me ,,My parents lived in a council house,my father worked 12 hr nights in the steel industry,and paid for that council many times over in rent, The house I sold just recently for over £330,000,So if you want to lend a few bob let me know,It seems you have time on your hands commenting to others,You lazy bum!!!!

[mrdenden1000]

why are being going on about being isolated from europe only extreme events would make to that, I see politicians moaning that the pm came home and gained nothing but what might we have lost if the veto was not used. plus nobody actually know how this new treaty is going to workout for europe sometimes its safer to stand a watch from a distance rather than the edge of a long steep drop.

[sidious1977]

Had Hitler known that instead of invading all those coutries to create a facist state, all he had to do was get them to use one currency, I'm sure he would have followed that route instead!....lol

[brscic]

@sidious1977 ; says a man, from a country with most surveillance cameras in the world,.. Soon it is going to be a police state like US

[sidious1977]

@brscic I live in Scotland, and considering we have a larger land mass than England we have 5 Million a population compared to Englands 50 Million, and we have no where near as many cameras....lmao......that said, we're one island and I'll stand by my English friends on this deabte to protect this island.....it's what we needed most..... a bit of self belief....we use the £, always have always will!

[MrJayguess]

@brscic More surveillance cameras? Yes and a crime rate a tiny fraction of that of the US per capita. AND a lower murder rate per capita despite getting rid of the barbaric death penalty 50 years ago, something that the US still has to do to bring it up to the civilised world! :-)

[sidious1977]

You know I've always hated politicians but "Well done David, you just grew a set of balls".......I'm beginning to look at him in a diffrent way now, I don't think most Europeans know yet exactly what their leaders have just done, they have just signed away the entire history/rights/taxes etc etc of their countries without asking their population first! I feel like I'm actually witnessing the birth of a fascist Europe with Brussels as the dictator instead of Hitler this time.

[MrJayguess]

Let's hope and pray this is the start of a new era - the first rung of the ladder to complete withdrawal from the corrupt EU.

[pentium2028]

How is Britain going to be isolated? Do you really want to be apart of the Euro and bailing out Greeks and Italians and let Brussels decide your fate? So no Britain is not isolated, in fact over time more countries will realize the fatal weakness of the Euro and decide to leave.

[ZapherJin]

YEA ENGLAND, u have israel and usa as allies! whatr u afraid of mate! rest of europe can fuck itself, YEA!

[Mysteryskatin]

Good for Britain. What do they have to gain? Why should they sacrifice their sovereignty? In my opinion, the European Union is beginning to show a hint of fascism.

Britain has more in common with it's Commonwealth and the United States. In the age of globalization, geographic proximity is no longer an issue. I would much rather see Britain become closer to it's brothers across the oceans than it's false friends across the channel.

Signed an American liberal, and generally an admirer of Europe.

[MrJayguess]

@Mysteryskatin Most of us Brits wholeheartedly agree with you, friend.

[megastratix]

@Mysteryskatin i have to agree :)

[Tommonius]

@Mysteryskatin well said, love from britain :)

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@Mysteryskatin Yeah, you've really shown that you've got no idea what you are talking about. I mean fun and all that accusation of fascism, but let's be frank now: Is Barroso really at the head of a nationalistic middle-class mass movement which uses street thugs to intimidate people? No, and you know that as well. And Britain doesn't have to sacrifice their sovereignty, but the result will be economic and political marginality.

[Mysteryskatin]

@TheRacistsMustDie Fascism does not have to be backed by a "middle-class mass movement." One of the key distinctions between fascism and other authoritarian ideologies is the influence of public opinion by the state. It can take root and public opinion will soon conform. (Not saying that is the case in Europe obviously.) Nations in EU are giving up at least some of their sovereignty to unelected officials. If not fascist, it is at least a bit authoritative.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@Mysteryskatin Fascism has traditionally always been a middle class mass movement otherwise they wouldn't need public opinion & ignore it just as authoritarian regimes do.

Is the EC an undemocratic arsewipe? Yes. Is the Council (which Cameron belongs to!) an undemocratic farce? Yes. Is the EP underpowered (& too big)? Yes. Is the answer "less EU"? No, a better EU is the answer & less national sovereignty is part of that. Why? Because we've made rules & we'll have to follow them.

[Mysteryskatin]

@TheRacistsMustDie Do you believe at the beginning of the Korean War the North Korean's believed Kim Il Sung was a mythical, almost god-like man? No, the public was indoctrinated over years of propaganda. Almost every form of entertainment is worship to the Dear Leader.I am completely in favor of a European Union. Though it should be democratic and should not infringe upon the sovereignty of the nations that make it up, or if it must, again, it should be fully democratic.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@Mysteryskatin Of course, that's why many of the power the council and the commission now have should be delegated to the European parliament. It has actually been to my very own surprise that in none of the European copy-cat Occupy protests the democratic deficit of the EU came forth.

[townsley2]

@Mysteryskatin

"False friend ??" Who is the false friend? Britain has always wanted to take the most of Europe and leave the bad. Britain wanted to have its word to say but kept really quiet when it came to share the same duties. Why would Britain have favours when all the Member States are having to tighten their belts? Now Britain refused to play the rules and gets at last what it deserves. ISOLATION. Ciao, Au revoir, Auf Wiedersehen, FUCK OFF England. EU does not need you !

[Mysteryskatin]

@townsley2 They did not refuse to play by the rules, he used his veto when he felt it would be detrimental to his nation if he did not. It was the only responsible act he could have done. It is his job to make sure Britain flourishes, and it should be his first concern.

[townsley2]

@Mysteryskatin

NO ! That is only a very selfish concern boy ! That treaty is detrimental to EVERY main EU nation but is the only way get out the crisis!! Do you even know what it is about ? I'm not sure ! it s about reinforcing budget union and economical integration & provide up to €200 billion in bilateral loans to the IMF. It was about global financial market regulation and UK just demanded to exempt the City of London of that regulation ! WTF?? Nobody wanted any regulation but WE HAVE TO !

[Mysteryskatin]

@townsley2 Economically speaking the Euro is a terrible idea to begin with in my opinion. The nations are to diverse. It is impossible to control interest rates, etc. Britain does not use the Euro, why would they take a blow to one of their most important economic sectors to try and save it? Britain, in my opinion, seems only to be interested in European free trade, and I don't blame them. Britain is Britain's main concern, and rightfully so.

[townsley2]

@Mysteryskatin

That's your opinion. The euro was and still is a great thing to me making of the eurozone the first economical place in the world. The only terrible mistake was to allow weak countries with falsified accounts join that zone. but i think the euro is to be saved. Britain did not want of it. fine! But those hypocrites kept interfere with euro leader's decisions. They just clearly refused a shared financial regulation, they better keep their mouth shut from now on !!!

[69salford69]

@townsley2 Fuck you. Telling the British to shut their mouth by using the English language

Speak your own dirty fucking language you SPICK

[townsley2]

@69salford69

Mouhahahah!!! Thank you mate, you made my day !! That is the stupidest line I've ever read !! I 'm writting in English cause I want u to understand, stupid prick !! and how many languages could u understand since u only get a little fucked monolanguage brain ?? Tell me. I could write in french, german or spanish aswell but would u get my point ?? Now I say it again: i'm pretty relieved u boys vetoed that treaty, ur clearly out of the EU now, for our greatest own good.

[69salford69]

@townsley2 We're obviosly not out of the EU, because we've got truck loads of unwashed stinky foreigners coming here for a better life

[townsley2]

@69salford69

Wow, that line was even more stupid than the last one, congrats, u're exceling boy ! We do have those "foreigners looking for a better life" aswell, u racist cunt, and guess what, a lot of them are ENGLISH! We even do have more foreigners than UK. But anyway that doesn't have anything to do with u being part of the EU. Most of english don't want to be part of the EU. Most European don't want english to be part of the EU. I say : leave now, and we've dealt with it!

[69salford69]

@townsley2 I'm not racist, you're mocking Great Britain so I'm mocking foreigners

I'm not against Europe, I'm against the financial stranglehold that is destroying countries all over the world.

Most Europeans I speak to are from Greece, and the people are fighting for their lives, so stop complaining about Britain

[townsley2]

@69salford69

WHAT?!? U are definitely racist AND stupid ! and you obviously don't even know what you're saying ! Not only am I mocking Great britain but I blame it for being hypocritically baleful to EU. Now you care about Greek people hey ? So you probably think that vetoing that treaty about financial regulation will help Greek people? And you're against financial stranglehold, champ... So could you remind me where one find more "financial strangleholder" but right in the CITY in LONDON ?!

[69salford69]

@townsley2 I may be stupid but I'm not racist!

the financial stranglehold may come from the city of London, but these people are not English, and they don't care about the English

the EU is just total control of a billion people

[DowJones19]

More isolated? They refused to give up their sovereignty and adopt a failing currency. If anything, Britian rejecting this deal makes them masters of their destiny.

[TheConnorian]

@DowJones19 True, now we just need to reconnect with the brothers that we stabbed in the back, our great commonwealth. Loyalists to the end. WE MUST NOT LOOSE OUR FAMILY FOR THOSE WHO PRETEND TO BE OUR FRIENDS.

[INVICTUSJCB]

I love Britain!

[MagicMushroomCloud95]

The tories have always been keen on demanding special rights and discounts for Britain that nobody else in the EU had, been like that since Maggie Thatcher. But eventually, that kind of egoism has to backfire and now Britain is paying for it with the price of isolation. It may take long for them to realize that the EU requires more than just a mere financial cost-benifit analysis. It's also about collective influence in the world that a mid-sized country like britain cant have on its own.

[VIVAlaResistance4881]

The problem in Europe is the french. Period.

[TheConnorian]

@VIVAlaResistance4881 Thing is as much as some PC Brits may argue against, what you said is true, it all comes back to their ancestral dislike for Germany. The EU was formed to keep them in a cage, its hard to even call Germany a country anymore, its more of a Military and Economic base for the rest of europe.

[leerees]

@TheConnorian The thing that makes me laugh is just how unpopular the PC brigade are at the moment. In fact people who I know personally as left wing PC do gooders are now born again tories. It's actually fashionable to hate policital correctness and the EU. The media in Britain constantly bash the EU and all of the liberals who constantly whinge about their "human rights". David Cameron made me LOL so hard when he came on national TV and called the human rights act stupid.

[TheConnorian]

@leerees I know :D but then again Cameron is our funniest prime minister to date. We just have to keep the pressure on and beat the PC EU supporters!

[4izm0v]

The UK should go alone. Nothing good came out of the EU.

[JumpnEvolution]

If the british or any other nation of earth humanity start to rule themselves alot of the current problems would go away,as at the moment the monarchies and freinds are trying desperately to throw a noose on the civilization so that one has no true freedom.The old world order,will not be new world order-they will be in prisons or in hiding or non existing physically here on earth anymore.It is the will of the Earth humanity to be FREE,and steps are being taken globally to achieve this.EVOLUTION.

[Huds71]

Merkozys arrogant refusal to accept any guarantees for britains future is why we didnt sign the treaty blame them not us we will never give power to brussels again or be told what to do by them

[lumberj23]

@Huds71

The treaty is about the € only. The rest of the EU agreed to it because they may join the € soon. Cameron's permission is not needed. There was not even a serious attempt to convince him. It was just a polite request, so UK does not feel spurned.

I like the UK in the EU. But if a maiority of the Britons think being member only means getting special treatment, UK should leave. It is ridicolous that now the same treaty has to be done out of the EU just because of that Cameron.

[Huds71]

I hope the rest of the european countries enjoy being told what to do by france and germanys treaty within a treaty! What a load of shit hahahaha u think Britain is isolated you think wrong we just dont like boarding leaky ships

[Huds71]

Hahahhah we are isolated in europe because of europes failed currency not ours get a life losers!!

[RegioLunar]

@Huds71 Ha ha loosers, listen to Nigel Farage and the like! UK´s funny wanna be finance "industry" is as bogus as the US´ is. Wanna live in the real world?

Deduct 40% from UK´s GDP and pray the the US oligarchs don´t give a shit about you.

[JumpnEvolution]

If britain rulers do not want to have good deals with others and positive business-TO HELL WITH THEM,CUT THEM OFF ECONOMICALLY.

[RegioLunar]

@JumpnEvolution Guess what happens when the transaction tax realy becomes a reality. This´ll ground the ficticious finance industry and free investment capital for real world action.

While US morons still debate wether climate change is real we in yurop will build a renewable energy grid ready for the future of Ghawar supply breakdown....

[wootty37]

@JumpnEvolution PMSL. Do a bit of research. They could not cut us off. Look up World Trade Association. Us brits have been brain washed to think we couldn't live without the EU. I am all for trading with the EU but why should we be dictated to. Plus we buy more from the EU than they buy from us. Lets face it thanks to the EU we haven't got a lot left to trade. The EU is crippling small businesses in this country. There is nothing positive about that.

[p4eugeot]

@wootty37 How are we being 'dictatated' we have meps representing us at every decision, the EU killed us, what a fuckin joke have you heard of an evil cow called thatcher, no doubt you run a business and hate the idea of the bit of protection for employees you don't want,no these bastards aren't running it and thats the whole problem if it was are project we would expect every cunt to jump eight foot high at our say so, and then of course there's the nasty French and Germans thats the problem

[wootty37]

@p4eugeot Well how about Blair. I don't run my own business but if i did i would treat all my employees fare. We signed up to the common market not the Eu. If it's all in the name of trade then why are we having all their regs and laws shoved down our throat. Little by little we have been giving the EU more and more power over this country. To be honest we have very little left. Thanks to our prime ministers.

[lucius1976]

@wootty37 But you are aware that the lack of regulations in the financial market did brought us in this mess.

[asdasdasdfdfd333]

@lucius1976 Us? We have already bailed out our banks and we are out of recession. The MESS is in the eurozone because they have been fudging their accounts and lying to each other for more than 10 years. The credit crunch just exposed it. Europeans blaming the USA/UK for their crisis are deluded; it was just the straw that broke the camel's back. I think many french/german people simply don't understand economics and are spoonfed their socialist crap from their awful media.

[lucius1976]

@asdasdasdfdfd333

If you really think no financial crisis on the same magnitude will reoccur when the regulations on the banks have not changed much, which they didn´t, think again. Remember that Ireland had to call for help because they were unable to pay for the debt of Irelands banks who got bust. The current crisis is a crisis that is caused by the the bailouts of 2009. Without the bank bailouts then there would be no sovereign debt crisis

[wootty37]

@lucius1976 Yes i am. It seems the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Everyone thinks what Cameron has done is great. I do too a point. He didn't dare sign that treaty because if he had he would have had to give people a vote on it and i don't think he would of liked the answer. I think hes looking after his own interests more than the nations to be honest. I really don't trust Cameron. I hope people look back and don't forget the lies that man has told.

[leerees]

@wootty37 What, and you trusted Gordon brown, he's the reason Britain is in such a mess, he tried to turn the UK into a socialist welfare state. David Cameron is only doing what any sane person would do, putting an end to the freeloaders who've drunk us dry, Europe being one of them. Also, you have to realise that the economy works in cycles, if you don't excersise austerity in the bust period then you end up bankrupt like Greece.

[wootty37]

@leerees Trust Gorden Brown you must be joking. To be honest i don't trust any of them.

[Huds71]

Congratulations David Cameron do not bow down to these franco/ german schemers we always have been and always will be ok on our own Rule Britannia

[RobW581]

@Huds71 Yes I will second that,and he has sure pulled a rabbit out of the bag here on this one.I think and hope that this is a massive step towards an in or out of the EU referendum ASAP which if David Cameron does call,will ironically and despite everything else allow him to call a snap election which he would win with a large majority,and even though quite frankly he and his government have pissed me off,I would back him all the way on this,and so would millions of others.

[stifler4041]

@Huds71

Damn right cause UK is USA's bitch.

[DaleWF10]

@stifler4041 Your clearly retarded how is Britain the U.S bitch you came crying to us for help when Al-Queda bombed the Twin towers so we helped you in Afganistan and Iraq

When we refused to help you against Vietnam the U.S lost

It's more like your our small child and whenever you get bullied by other countries as we made your little bitch country we have to act like your daddy and help you out

the U.S has never won a war without Allies last time we won a war on our own was 1982

DUMB YANK

[stifler4041]

@DaleWF10

the US never cried for UK help. UK chose to invade iraq. Afghanistan was a NATO effort.

We lost b/c people did not want us there so we packed up and left

Mexican–American War war was one of them.

Against Argentina lol

If I remember correctly UK wanted to invade Iran not to long ago but waited for US to give the signal.

[DaleWF10]

@stifler4041 No, George Bush kept talking with Tony Blair to join the U.S in Afganistan and Iraq

And nobody wants a war in there country you lost after fighting for 20 years epic fail

The Mexican-American war was actually the only war the U.S have won on there own and that was over 150 years ago

And yes, against Argentina on there own doorstep which is over 7000miles from the U.K and after only 2 month

Your not correct the U.K has been pulling troops out of countries since 2009

[stifler4041]

@DaleWF10

Tony Blair was George's bitch. Look up Bush's poodle.

What did we lose exactly for those 20 years? At least the US didn't lose territories like the UK.

Probably however US been in many wars where they were the biggest factors and couldn't been won without them still it shows that the US never winning a war alone is false.

Ascension Island was a checkpoint not like you guys went from the UK directly to the Falklands.

[DaleWF10]

@stifler4041 You are a retard

the UK didn't "lose" territories it granted them independance and then set up the British Commonwealth

Queen Elizabeth is still the queen of Australia and Canada

And it still takes a while from Britain to Ancension Island and then from there it is still 3000 miles to the falklands from there

the U.S has never been the biggest factor in any war your all just spackers that try take credit for too much

Obama bowed to our queen and she snubbed him paha ,

[stifler4041]

@DaleWF10 Anyway you look at it you still lost territories. A Queen with no power over them a figurehead Just wanted to point out the ascension island was used as a checkpoint. Spanish–American War Philippine-American War World War Two against the Japanese empire Invasion of the Dominican Republic Invasion of Grenada Invasion of Panama Are some probably more Obama is a nigger I don't think your queen even have political power

[DaleWF10]

@stifler4041 You only won world war two against Japan because you nuclear bombed cities full of civilins you set of pussies , the U.S are cowards

And your Army pays us thousands so that we let you put like a 1000 U.S soldiers on the British Indian terriotory and Ancension Island

Pussy , its a "Special Relationship" because we are both STRONG NATIONS not because we are each others bitch

At how did they get the film of the traffic moving at double speed with the reporter standing there talking in single speed? (0:52-1:07)

Is she really standing in front of a green screen?

[astifan1]

uk external debt is about 400% of gdp,

average eu external debt is about 85% of gdp,so uk is in realy bad shape,and thats why they are so loud

[StarsManny]

@astifan1 External debt 400? No it's around the 80% mark. The 400% is external, corporate, private etc added together.

We are so loud because even though the UK is the 2nd LARGEST net contributor to the EU (and have been for many years), we are being asked to agree to something that would potentially harm our economy. And we aren't even in the euro. That's a "big ask".

@StarsManny

Hell, were do you get your numbers? Even small countries like Holland pay more.

@astifan1 Croatia joined the eu today, thats just what we need a backward country full of war criminals, welcome aboard, enjoy having your country rebuilt with westernn european money!

@astifan1 >uk external debt is about 400% of gdp

lmao, it's nowhere near 400% of the GDP.

[marklosextremus]

who gives a fuck? Britain has never REALLY been a contributing member of the EU. The EU is fucked anyway and on its deathbed.

[StarsManny]

@marklosextremus uk is the 2nd biggest net contributor. Get your facts right.

[wootty37]

@marklosextremus So 51 million pounds a day is not really contributing?!!!!!

[lumberj23]

@wootty37

Considering that it is even less than the amount of little countries like Holland or Belgium: Yes, those are just penuts.

[StarsManny]

@lumberj23 You're getting confused between contribution per head and contribution per country. We pay less than Holland per head but we're not far behind. But as country we contribute much more, because of our larger population. It's annoying when people (especially Eastern Europeans who get all the money) when people say "Britian contributes nothing", we actually contribute a lot. People think that way just because we aren't in the Euro (same as Denmark).

@StarsManny

No, I mean per country. Holland and Belgium pay more than UK per country. (Of course it is differnet every year.)

It is because of the UK rebate.

The EU is not (presently) a Federation -therefore why expect any member to act as a subordinate?
