Anyone got any views really need to see more business leaders on TV

**steve bird** · 09-01-2016, 21:02

I don't think we need business leaders views or their opinions there are far to many scar mongering about doom and gloom if we leave the EU I do hope the young people who have never had the chance to vote on the EU vote for leaving. the UK are doomed if we stay in we only receive half or less the monies we pay in interference from the EU courts we had our own human rights that worked well enough the great man sir Winston Churchill was one of the founders our boarder control is fine out side of EU interference sorry rabbiting on you only need your own veiw your opinion no body Else's matter

Sooner were Out the better I reckon. That way we could at least Close our Borders to anymore of these Undesirables coming in from Africa/Eastern Europe. You see on tv all the Gangs of Shoplifters they pick up in London etc are nearlly all Romanians etc. Get rid of them all I say. Braz

Yep they will still get in no matter what yes they will continue to try and get in but our government do not have the balls to deport them they the people in the seats of power are afraid of being called raciest just like Mr Enoch powell

The EU was and is a pipe dream, and it's all going up in smoke! You only have to look at Frau Merkel's open door policy and the events on New Years Eve in Cologne to see the result of her idea! The sooner we are out and start to govern our own country without their interference the better!

UK border threat: France to build mega-camp for refugees for first time in 13 years

"BRITAIN could face another wave of illegal migrants after France announced plans to build a second migrant camp on its northern coast."

What next, build a Boat yard next door? If we vote to stay out France will do what they always wanted and let in the migrants and since we would not be a member of the EU there would be no Court to complain to, by all means have a decent number of migrants, genuine Asylum seekers, not the once that have jumped on the bandwagon pretending to be from a conflict area, Someone walked through the Tunnel from France and was given Asylum last week, that sends a signal, what happends if 2,000, in one wave, was to walk through, there is no gate to close, or our "Friendly" neighbour, France, fills a train and sends it over, which ever way we vote we cant win on the migrant issue.

Hi..
The Migrant issue is just a relatively small part of the issue here. The much bigger problem is Trade. As members of the EU we as a nation can trade within a set of very favorable terms with the other EU countries which is a very large marketplace. If we leave the EU that will cease, and as a Non EU country we would have to renegotiate new deals on terms which would not be as favorable. The USA have already stated that they would not be prepared to deal favorably with a non EU Britain. As we no longer have the Commonwealth to fall back on, i believe that we would , in a very short time, find ourselves in a much, much worse position than we are now. Mind you it might solve the migration problem.. as no one would want to come here.

Yes a big problem for us all to decide on our future as a country to remain with a defuncted EU who are more like a dictatorship living under threat from the French and mist the other members and stay Americans 51st state, or be our own people to run our own affairs how we see fit all we need is a strong government not what we have just now.

Mind you we can all pick and choose, this is one,
The importance of the European Union as the UK's main trading partner appears to be dwindling as the share of UK goods exported to the region fell to a record low in April.Just 45.1pc of the goods that the UK exported that month went to the EU, down from 52pc in the previous year.

The data showed that Britain's overall trade deficit, including both goods and services, narrowed dramatically in April. The proportion of the UK's goods that are exported to the European Union has been shrinking since the early 2000s, when it accounted for around two thirds of total UK goods exports.Martin Beck, an economist at Oxford Economics, said: "The latest trade data showed a further decline in the EU's importance as a market for UK exports."He concluded that by 2020 the deficit , at this trend, will be under 40pc"
