Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"I understand your thoughts and agree with some of it. However, although we are a "net contributor", countries like Norway and Switzerland (being in "similar" positions to that of Britain would be following "exit"), both have to contribute substantially to enjoy favorable trading conditions and they have absolutely no say in what happens in Europe.
We would be the same, therefore, this argument doesn't hold much sway.
Surely, we are better placed, trying to have influence "fighting" from within, as opposed to being dictated to on the
outside ?'"
We have the 5th largest economy in the world so we'll hardly be getting the begging bowl out looking for trade partners. Neither are we in any way comparable with Norway and Switzerland.
We have absolutely zero influence in the EU, evidenced by the total lack of success that the idiot Cameron had when trying to negotiate a better deal for the UK.
We contribute around £88Million a day to the EU and after that figure is balanced off by the discounts and kickbacks we are still a net contributor of
=#FF0000£32Million per Day
That's almost £12Billion a year that we contribute to the EU
[size=150£12 Billion Per Year net contributors[/size
Coincidentally that's the same figure the Conservative zgovernment said they'd cut from Welfare at the last election, a figure they wouldn't be drawn on as to the where, who and how they'd do it!
£12 Billion!
How many schools is that?
How much housing?
How many Hospitals?
I'm no UKIP supporter and I'm not a Farage admirer but he's the only one talking any sense about immigration and he's the only one telling the truth about our inability to control our own borders while a member of the EU.
Everyone else fudges the issue and and throws up a smokescreen of "where would we be without immigration in the 50s & 60s"
Well that was then and we needed the immigration at that time but this is now and we don't need immigration on nearly the same scale.
"The NHS will fail without the influx of specialists, Consultants, Doctors and Nurses who come here to work in our NHS"
Well first of all, stop systematically undermining and underfunding the NHS so that you can Backdoor privatise it. Secondly, pay our own Medical and health staff properly and they might not feel the need to go work elsewhere. Finally, come on, who the hell do you think you're kidding! Walk through the Ridings centre on any afternoon and I'll tell you straight, it's not gangs of Consultant Doctors and Nurses that are sat around bothering young girls and intimidating anyone passing by.
Every form of infrastructure is stretched and broken,
Health
Education
Public Services
Housing
Welfare
We cannot continue to see mass immigration with no way whatsoever of stopping it, not while we're in the EU anyway, NONE!
Hey but I've outed myself haven't I?
I must be a racist or an uneducated bigot because I've broken the taboo and voiced my opinion against immigration.
You may now conveniently ignore anything I've said!
