In the most part the actual people in charge in government rarely make that much difference to daily lives despite what we like to think, except this time they are threatening to take away my complete freedom to live and work anywhere in the EU…to me that’s unacceptable.
Why would you not be allowed to work in the EU? There are plenty of Brits working in countries all over this beautiful planet that aren't in the EU.
Indeed. Do you know if there was the same 'free movement' as we have now for us to go to Holland in 1992? I suspect there was not as Schengen didn't come about until 1995.
Are you suggesting that Brits could not move to Holland and work there in 1992?
No I know we could because in 1992 I was 7, my dad got sent there for work and my family moved. I was trying to make the point that before 'free movement' there was free movement if you had anything to offer. My parents have never once mentioned any difficulty in going there either (and I don't recall any).

My dad did have to attend 6 months of intensive dutch lessons when we got there though and rightly so IMO. I don't know if that was work or national policy, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen any more either way though!
But that would have been a citizen test not unlike our own.


Free movement within Europe will not stop with our withdrawal, it just may take an extra few minutes going through passport control.

Also IIRC there was a vote in the HOC in this parliament that the government passed to increase the budget for EU propaganda...

Not sure if its specifically EU related. Non EU residents get health care in Spain. The crucial point is if you are a resident.
Nope.

Not as a tourist I agree. Howvere, if you want to work in Europe you would need a visa before you get to passport control.

Considering how time consuming a move abroad would be in terms of finding new work and accomodation that suits all of your need I would say that an extra few minutes or even a couple of hours on a bit of paperwork would not make any significant difference to your move or indeed your will to move.

It would give the country you are going to the option of saying we don't want you but that is what most brits want to be able to say to some of the immigrants coming here. and that would not necessarily be a bad thing as we get to prioritise incomers based on our nations needs.

By the way, most kippers aren't (outwardly) racist. The debate has moved on since simple-minded racism accusations. The modern sophisticated kipper would never act in a blatantly racist way or the game would be up, the thin veil of respectability gone.
You can't really assume someone is a racist if they aren't outwardly racist in their views or actions, can you?
You do realise that this thread was started by an immigrant, don't you?

My understanding is that you can apply for a EU long term residence after 5 years and after that you can obtain the same social services that locals can.

So in other words, nothing racist said or stated but you'll ignore that any way and assume racism because you are so sure you are right and in your mind it's OK to make that leap ? More great Zyggy 'thinking', not unlike the time you turned amateur sleuth in the Mohammed Saleem case to tell us that the EDL did it, only to go missing on that thread when a Ukrainian man was convicted of his murder. See what you want to see much ?

I suppose if you keep shouting people down long enough and keep demanding like little hitler what they can or cannot say, eventually they just keep their mouths shut to try and keep the peace for fear of the consequences. This trend I believe will however reverse itself soon. We have seen that already now that LAB-CON are even talking about such issues, now somehow its ok to discuss because they say so?

Can you explain "misplaced nostalgia", what exactly do you mean by that bit?

I can see the language being used becoming increasingly aggressive as we get closer towards May 2015.How dare anyone upset the nice little club in Westminster.
I can't wait to see the headlines the following day and the excuses.

Quite. The news doesn't get any better today with over 4000+ criminals awaiting deportation, 700+ missing without trace, 58 considered extremely dangerous.

How does Dave ever expect to negotiate new terms on immigration when he can't even be bothered to deport those he can.

Complete and utter failure.

It's almost as funny as suggesting that there's something repulsive about offering a referendum. It's conspicuously contrived to imagine that the offer of participation in a democractic process can repel Conservative voters into the open arms of the pointless LibDems on 6% or Labour who are totally incompetent and anathema to right-thinking voters. This fairytale proposition might just, possibly, be offered up because a referendum when held may well go the 'wrong' way i.e. the right way and see the UK leave the EU.

It's slightly more complicated than that simple graph shows though isn't it?

A bit more detail shows that most people are actually not that happy with the current setup.




Devil in the detail as always.

UKIP is still not the answer to resolving these problems for the very simple reason that it is highly unlikely to form a government any time soon.
Not true. If UKIP win the election, Lord Nige will personally come round and stop your dog barking at 3am.
I don't think they will either, in fact I know they won't...but they might just, if we are lucky, be in a position to influence whoever does. Why else do CMD, and you on his behalf, not just stick to ignoring them instead of exerting so much energy running round like headless chickens.
They might, but you'll feel pretty silly for the next 5 years if that gamble fails.
Why? And they're already having a large influence right now.
Simples. If Miliband wins, UIP's "influence" will be non existant
Not sure about that. If Miliband wins where are the voters that normally swing between Lab/Con going to go? He's currently in opposition so is likely more popular now than he will be when he's PM. They're pro-EU and will face the same issues when in government, the argument that Labour isn't working for the low paid will be strong. By-elections where Labour currently beats UKIP by 600 votes will fall to UKIP etc...
Eh? If Miliband wins he's got a majority government. You can bh & moan all you like but UKIP can swivel for at least 5 years & he's got 5 years to lock things down so you'll never get near it again.

Think they won't? You only need look at Blair's boundary changes.....they'll do it again & lock us so tightly into the EU & devolve power to major metropolitan authorities (like Manchester etc where Labour has perpetual control) so that it won't matter any more.

Absolutely, they want change, they don't want Exit. Whether that will alter if we can't get change remains to be seen but what it says is that the current government's approach is more popular than the UK EXIT under any circumstances or Labour's no change strategy.

Oooh I havent had that thrown at me before how novel!
Firstly not a Kipper, in my 60 years 40 voting I have voted for them once (recent Euros) former Young Liberal and marxist family background, been a floating voter for many decades since I left the liberal party.

Clearly you dont read the thread or are just trolling.

Second Xenophobia really, I have business interests in several countries (as diverse as France and China), so exactly how would that work then?

My issue is with The data, and the general dissatisfaction with the current political elites, something you would understand if you did the courtesy of reading the threads before trotting out the usual bullst insults.

When you have something of value to add beyond the usual well worn tripe I will possibly respond until then I will ignore you.
I don't remember insulting you, but I'm not going to read the threads or all 22,000 of your posts either, so I guess I can consider myself ignored.

I usually forget to vote, and when I do forget it doesn't really bother me because I always feel that it wouldn't have made much difference anyway.
But the pathetic insults and childish behavior of the 'anti kippers' on this thread and in the media in general has made me absolutely determined to vote for UKIP in the coming GE.
It's nice to know that my vote will effectively cancel the vote of a left wing numpty like eharding or zygalski.
