OK.In deference to TUX, please read as if "voters" is deleted and replaced by "people". Can't say I have ever thought the 1945 election outcome was utterly irrelevant in terms of meaningful changes to many people's lives nor,going to the opposite end of the spectrum, that in Germany in 1933 for that matter. As Richard Neville wrote:"There may only be an inch of difference between the parties but it's that inch we live in".Even within the TUX analysis that a small clique of bankers control everything...

Pity you don't post any links etc. Might be interesting to follow up given the original point you made was certainly an interesting and reasonable one IMO. Sorry if I had previously misunderstood your posts about central banks/bankers etc. My error. Edited by legaleagle (06 Apr 2015 12.24am)

Where oh where do you dig up this sort of rubbish from.......Jeeesh!!
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

I don't know what 'British values' are! Yet it is a phrase repeatedly wheeled out by the establishment as some undefined code of morality to which true Brits can claim ownership and to which 'Johny Foreigner' should aspire. Hence the quotation marks! I think, if pressed, those who coined it might include tolerance, fairplay and a sense of respect for others rather than isolationism, self interest and xenophobia!
Ukip aren't pushing isolationism....I don't support isolationism myself. We will still trade and cooperate with Europe......We are in Nato.......It isn't 'if you aren't with us, you are against us'. Ukip aren't pushing xenophobia....Of course there are some members who are and are just jumping on the bandwagon....But they don't represent what the party is about. I know of foreign born people who have issues with the 'extent' of immigration, one polish women here in Wisbech who has been here twenty years.....It's about numbers and control of borders. Ukip isn't interested in stopping immigration. Immigration is important for many reasons....But an open door is damaging. Every country should control its borders and its national interest. Edited by Stirlingsays (05 Apr 2015 12.29pm)
I blame Maggie Thatcher!!
The freedom of movement policy inherent within membership of the EU makes an 'open door' to all EU citizens mandatory. So in reality by accepting our current form of EU membership those parties are most definitely advocating the open door. People against Ukip are often accusing people who don't agree with high uncontrolled immigration as being racist or xenophobic or bigots and pretty much anything else they can think of. This is the same behaviour that caused the problem in the first place. By accusing people of racism these fools shut down debate and caused resentment.....They indirectly created the very thing they despised in the first place. As for social responsibility. I care about my own first. I care about British youth and workers who are kept on low wages by the increased competition. I care about the housing and social infrastructure crises caused (in part) by unfetted EU immigration. Lefties cry crocodile tears over this and instead of supporting an EU controlled immigration policy. Instead choose to unrealistically blame the government for not getting out its credit card and adding to the 1.5 tillion debt we have. Who is going to suffer for this ideology? It won't be the foreigners who leave when things downturn. It will be the British youth inheriting and paying back the interest on a pile set up by ideological people who point fingers without looking in the mirror. The British taxpayer isn't here to cure the ills of other nations. It should be here to best benefit the British state.

It is a natural reaction to want to leave a club that no longer provides the incentives initially offered and inflicts rules/barriers that restrict your ability to govern yourself sensibly.

Ridiculous indeed: You don't deal with any of the actual specific points made in the article linked, but just knee jerk default reaction.

The immigration debate hasn't been 'shut down' and never has. It's been discussed non-stop since I can remember. The idea that it's been 'shut down' is a UKIP strategy and nothing else. There was a period for about 2 years under the last labour government where they wanted to shut the debate down but they never managed it.

You are absolutely right - Freedom of movement is the central tenet of EU membership.The only thing that can be done is to restrict benefits, housing etc etc. Cameron has said he will be trying to re-negotiate our terms of membership prior to the referendum but as far as the EU are concerned I believe the freedom of movement is non-negotiable. I am firmly in the "OUT" camp and hopefully will have a chance to vote as such in the referendum.
