  1. I love the respect Scotland shows to the rest of the UK who are the ones paying more to them per head than any other part of the UK and pay more into the EU than they get back some of which the EU gives us back, a disproportionate amount of that going to Scotland. Oh we will miss you if you go.

  2. What people have to realise is if UK stays in the EU it will be forced to have the euro also when the EU army is created we will have to have the rebate cut to pay whatever the EU decides is required to fund it including the pay and pensions of the people who will control it, doubtless a pointless exercise for us.I wonder if there could be a job found for T.Blair? Those are just three reasons which make leaving the only sane choice.

  4.  Calvito Bonito  The white underclass made this country what it was, the intellectually corrupt made it what it is today, neither perfect but one had a promising future.

  5. O Jeremy Corbyn totaly out of your depth. An intellectual dwarf with a bucket full of resentment wearing a hair shirt.

  7.  @Diabolo0011  China is not a racist country any more is it, I wonder if that's because of it's wealth and power?

  8. There will be no deal until we have left, the EU do not do deals with member states. Simples. It's surprising how difficult it is to see things staring you in the face, for instance the inability of people to recognise the need for a death penalty. Some of the reasons quoted against it are to me farcical such as executing innocent people, there are many cases where proof is 100% such as the killing of the soldier Rigby or Bradley and Hindley the Yorkshire Ripper, Huntley and many others including the 2 terrorists in the news today. Personally I would limit the need for proof of involvement at 100% and the actual committing of the crime to the decision of the jury with a ten year wait on death row before execution. If by chance an "innocent"was executed you would have to weigh that against the number of innocent lives saved by the number of murders commited by released convicted murderers. Also why does society value the lives of convicted murderers over law abiding citizens? How many thousands of murderers are locked up for thirty years or more at a cost of I estimate of around 80K pounds a year, how many other lives could be saved if that money were used to good effect. As an atheist I applaud the values of Christians and think the world we be a better place if society observed the teachings of the bible that are acceptable to the majority today. For instance any objections to treating others as you would wish to be treated?

  9.  @ilidiocarmona4827  It's difficult to embrace the dream when you have been raised on benefits had a substandard education and seen refugees and people of foreign cultures prioritised, praised and benefiting from everything the state can throw at them.

  10.  @d15ude  What was the other name for the Nazi party, oh yes national socialists I think. Names are all b------ks anyway. Nice to hear from someone who speaks for the whole EU, I'll stay away from the EU as long as it exists even though it was a pleasure to watch the Germans trying to hog the sunbeds, they're not all like that are they?

  11. But what I don't understand is why some people want to remain in the EU.

  12. British democracy has not existed since we joined the EU. You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

  13. I see Mandelson is strengthening the EU's resolve, he said today that he doesn't think Boris would leave without a deal because it would damage the UK economy too much. More likely it would damage Mandelsons lifestyle and standing in the eyes of his mates.

  14. Never in humanities history of struggle for freedom, security and prosperity have so many people been this deluded to espouse anti human dream induced nonsense. It is very similar to a religious cult and just as or more dangerous.

  15. Take your head out of Uranus and see what the EU plan for the future really is, unless you already know and will be happy living in a colony. But then don't you understand how empires always end the only thing is we have the destructive capability today to make end really spectacular.

  16. Thank God at least we don't have to worry about the EU, their has hardly been a murmur about how Brexit will affect them so obviously it won't affect them at all or will it?

  17. The only uncertainty is whether the government and Labour will do as they said in their manifesto's and what the people voted for.

  18.  Celtic Snow  You can't argue with Europhobes they know the are right even as their world disintegrates around them and they ignore their own rules in their quest for what to them is success.

  19.  @longlivethechief2373  I agree our governments have been next to useless at running our country before and since Thatcher she was the only one who had a clue mainly due to her middle class background and science degree, that said the creation of the EU and our membership of it just sealed the deal on our non governance. It remains to be seen whether or not we have learnt anything from the past 70yrs, nothing is guaranteed, just because the majority of Brits no a con when they see one doesn't mean a lot.

  20.  @longlivethechief2373  The EU have said as much by saying they don't want the UK as a competitor so will not do a deal with us the same as they did with Canada, I think the proximity issue is just an excuse. Honest competition is an alien concept to socialist ideology but that is what brings real progress, denying has caused the majority of the EU's problems. I don't think the hit to financial services will be significant but wouldn't bet the house on that, people can behave very irrationally. We have a world class scientific community, universities, innate engineering talent and venture capital finance capability, with the right government focus the UK will be unrecognisable in 10yrs for better or worse.

  21.  @longlivethechief2373  I think the problems with the UK government have been exacerbated by our EU membership, they might improve if they are big enough for the job of actually running the country, if not the fireworks should be illuminating.

  22.  @vinwilliams6562  The EU project cannot work without taking money from the countries that make it and giving it to those who don't, and what does the project provide for it's members? Chaos and destruction of nations are the two primary gifts it seems to me along with the creation of an unaccountable elite. Compare that to the UK project which operates on a similar basis with a different ideology and the outcome is much more desirable any one of sound mind will conclude.

  23.  @vermicelledecheval5219  What is the EU but a failed project. Personally I have no objection to foreigners but do not accept being forced to live with them. Keeping people ignorant helps the power seekers manipulate and control them, it's humanities history who knows if it will ever change. IMO we were moving in the right direction in the 60's and early 70's then lost it until Thatcher came unexpectedly to power and tried to turn things around, unfortunately the British members of the upper class, illuminati or plutocrats whatever you want to call them decided their interests were better served by dumbing down the man on the Clapham omnibus and distracting him with the usual BS. So here we are today taking a knee and saying sorry to anyone and everyone and that we are solely to blame for all their failings while keeping the poor in their place and the rich man in his Ivory tower.

  24.  @vermicelledecheval5219  I doubt we'll ever be united but would hope we can cooperate closely for mutual benefit in the future, the loss of independence incurs a loss of identity and freedom that far outweighs any potential benefits to me. I can't speak for the other EU countries as long as their democracies function then their future is in their hands, whatever the future is to be cooperation brings more rewards than animosity.

  25.  @uweinhamburg  Just loving remainers who have tried to derail brexit complaining about Dyson making a commercial decision forced on him by the government wasting 2 years.

  26. Can anyone inform me when was the last case of a brown person charged with racial discrimination, or racism against a whitey, also how many such cases have there been. Just wondering.

  27. I don't think many are deceived over parliament abandoning democracy but they are deceived about UKIP who seem to be the only alternative to EU statehood.

  28. Remainer bots you don't have much time left to keep wishing and hoping and dreaming.

  29. The damage to the global multinationals, uncompetitive subsidsed failures and roaming vagabonds with criminal intent is being limited all the time

  30. Approximately 50% of people want the existence of Britain as it was to exist only in history approximately 50% of other people want it to be reborn. It looks like this problem will not be solved any time soon, if ever.

  31. Wonder what rule changes there might be? maybe all departing member states must obey all EU rules in perpetuity.

  32.  @jaker3151  Shouldn't it be the case that if anyone is prosecuted it should only be the person who actually posted the video and also the company that broadcast the video as many people do things with friends that they wouldn't wish to broadcast?

  33. Tory government posted a budget surplus of £2billion in July the deficit is now £6billion below OBR forecast. Way to go yea, all we need now is a Labour government and we could have 3yrs of profligacy and another decade of austerity, continued EU membership and then look forward to bankruptcy.

  34. We still have our manhood, don't mistake us for the snowflake morons who get most media exposure. We may even help you out again when you're up to your neck in the shite that's flowing up the Rhine.

  35. That figures

  36. That's how we got conned in the first place.

  37. Patrico I think Hitler changed Germany more than you would have dreamt possible if you were around at the time. Don't make the mistake of thinking the EU has more control than it really has, it is a mere child in it's progress to a self perpetuating oligarchy.

  38. Not much peace in Catalonia at the moment, until you crush their spirit there never will be. Then that will be a peace worth having, yes?

  39. The most telling comment I heard from one of these Nobel Laureates on LBC in conversation with James O'Brien was that Britain was good at science and he had been unable to figure out why, maybe it was something to do with the weather he said. Which I interpret as meaning you should stick with what you know and leave democracy to the majority, some things are beyond your sphere of expertise.

  40. Why keep talking about about Britain, it doesn't exist in any historic meaningful sense as long we let the EU have control. Suck it up millenials your future is being dictated by people you have no power over and have little interest in your lives.

  41. @James Berry It has a lot of assets to offset against it's debts but I agree it is too far down the rabbit hole to be sustainable, I don't think retrenchment will happen soon but is probably inevitable in the latter half of the next decade. Be interesting to see how that plays out.

  42. Free trade serves the interests of multinationals more than the people, it will take time to wean ourselves off their influence if we want a better future we must.

  43. The ECB has just uncovered shortcomings and miscalculations in Eurozone banks amounting to 10 Billion Euros. I haven't heard mention of that on the BBC news yet.

  44.  Simon Barnett  It will be a relief to be able blame British people if there is anything to be blamed for, success or failure should be our responsibility and ours alone. That does not mean isolating ourselves of course which is the ridiculous charge EU lunatics lay at our door, they must be so lacking in confidence or scared of a future without the EU.

  45. @Doggle Bird They only recognise their own facts or alternative facts if you prefer.

  46. The PM and her mp's have to represent their constituents and do what they consider is best for the country, they are not dictators. It is for the people to make their opinions known and vote accordingly.

  47. I've got no idea what i voted for I think it's time they scrapped the idea of voting and just let the clever people manage everything, they're making such a good job of it for themselves.

  48. Forecasting is very a difficult thing to get right, especially when it concerns the future. So many people are missing the point we voted leave because of dislike of being run by undemocratic Brussels the future will be ours for better or worse.

  49. You sound like being in the EU is having your cake and eating it, and we all know that's not possible whatever the politicians say.
