General Discussion
Up until a few months ago I thought Brexit would be an impossibility, but now I think it is entirely likely. Those of us who want that result need to ensure we all get out to vote to make it happen.
I only caught the last half of the Paxman programme, but what I saw of it was excellent, must catch the whole thing on iPlayer. I'm just surprised the BBC put this on BBC1 during peak time.
Outside of politics, Cameron's only real job (if you can call it that) was as head of PR for a media company, and that is the extent of his "talents" - spin & BS.
If we vote to leave the EU then we negotiate our own arrangements to trade with the EU, which of course, do not have to be the same as the Norwegian model.
It depends what you call "facts" of course. It wasn't so long ago Osborne was stating quite categorically every household would be £4300 worse off by 2030 if we left the EU. The Treasury can't even accurately predict our finances in the short term, but here we had Osborne peddling figures for 14 year hence and presenting them as something factual and believable. Is it any wonder people ...
The report also states the Cameron received the letter from the head of Serco following a meeting a few days earlier. One can only conclude the letter formed part of ongoing discussions. Cameron's threat that he "would rule nothing out" was pathetic and meaningless, he had already made up his mind to campaign for a remain vote even before he'd uttered a word at the EU summit.
For all his bluster, Cameron is an out-and-out liar. Leaked information today; his "negotiations" with EU leaders were a total sham (as we all knew anyway). http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3593784/David-Cameron-s-EU-sham-exposed-Leaked-letter-reveals-PM-hatched-anti-Brexit-plot-telling-voters-campaign-leave.html While he was pretending to hold tough negotiations, Cameron had ...
"Britain can survive outside the EU" David Cameron November 2015 Only a few months ago Cameron was adamant that Britain would thrive outside the EU, so what's changed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14XfFjiinNE
There were a lot better songs than the winning Ukraine entry, politics just got in the way though, as is often the case in Eurovision.
It is impossible to reform the EU (for the good anyway), just witness the charade Cameron went through a few weeks ago, presenting his begging bowl to the various EU leaders, and we all know it was Merkel who had the final say. Regardless of which way we vote next month, the EU is a failed institution and will eventually collapse. It's just a matter of time. A Brexit would just hasten its ...
