EU Chief Juncker Warns UK Over ‘Deserters’ European Commission boss Jean-Claude Juncker has warned the UK that “deserters won’t be welcomed back with open arms”. In hard-hitting comments, which have sparked accusations of intimidation among eurosceptics, he said the UK would “have to bear the consequences” if it voted to quit the 28-member bloc. Juncker goes on to say that ...

@Dil The reason people have a problem with this event is because it is being financed by the taxpayer (BBC & Council Tax), yet are being ripped off as though it is a normal commercial venture. It is not comparable to a concert at the O2.

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.

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.

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 ...
