  • i am an american and i wish this guy the best of the world. he is honest, does not lie, says it how it is and we could use a bunch of these types of guys here in the USA.

  • @salemslotofficial No its 2010 and I'm a British Subjec,t Not a European Citizen or British Citizen!

  • British SUBJECTS!??

    What does he think this is, the 1500s??

  • @Kida000

    Who cares if we can't influence trade legislation as long as we aren't bound by it. Besides if we joined with other countries (as already mentioned) we would have our own huge internal market, so we wouldn't have to worry what the EU nations want.

  • @Kida000

    Hardly, I don't need blind nationalism, I can read the laws myself.

    Maybe tacked on, not necessarily.

  • @Kida000

    Lol, very good, although generally the Americans aren't very protectionist anymore. They are towards China, but that is for good reason (China is artificially surpressing the value of its currency in order to protect export prices).

  • @Kida000

    OK, you have been very polite throughout all this, so I won't be scathing, but in short your first point is so wholly and completely wrong it is funny.

    A WWII ship wouldn't even get within 100 miles of a modern ship. It would be sunk years before it even entered firing distance, why do you think that ever single modern ship just has 1 gun on the front, if that? It is because guns are useless now. I cannot emphasise how wrong that statement is.

  • @perfacetus

    Sure we're out CAP and CFP, but What many people fail to mention about jumping out of the actual EU and into the EFTA is we fail to retain the ability not only to shape EU legislation but to negotiate Opt outs. If the EU decides that a certain law should be rolled out across all Memberstates AND EFTA members then you accpet or leave. Simple

  • @perfacetus

    No you haven't. You've either looked at it, failed to understand and went away furstrated and confused or decided you hate it out of blind nationalism and get what info you from the EUphobic papers.

    A number of conditions could be tacked on- trade rights, exemptions, troop numbers, intel sharing, discounts on arms etc.
