No it doesn't. It is factual representation of the globalised business World. Your idea of 'international based control' is pie in the sky. It doesn't stop entrepreneurs. It doesn't stop innovators. It doesn't stop small business. You could argue that real damage was done when a socialist British government encouraged cheap labour to migrate to Britain. Which socialist British Government was that - I think I may have been in a coma. And you're 'out for the EU' because? Edited by jamiemartin721 (29 Feb 2016 3.43pm)

The problem with this approach, is that its essentially engaging in a race to the bottom, that rewards only an elite in society, and fabricates an increasingly dire future for British Society. Because ultimately, the pressure will be to 'keep cutting'. I think a new approach is needed, to stop thinking locally and nationally, in a global market, and look towards maybe greater international based control and regulation multinational businesses. And that's the game! Unfortunately it's fuelled by a majority that can't tell their a-se from their elbow because they'll happily continue to pay more for less................because they're told to. You couldn't make it up.
Time to move forward together. |

Radio 4 Today programme invited Mandelson on this morning to explain his support for the In/Stay campaign and he just spent 10 minutes rubbishing Nigel Lawson. Sorry Peter but if it's a straight fight between believing you or believing Nigel there is no contest. Having been asked to resign from Blair's cabinet on two occasions for corruption, Mandelson's financial credulity and honesty is on a par with that of Keith Vaz who also supports the In/Stay campaign. With Blair firmly in the In/Stay campaign it is no wonder that all we ever hear is scaremongering and over exaggerations about how leaving the EU will affect us economically. These three wouldn't know the truth if it smacked them in the face with a wet fish. Is this the same Peter Mandelson that said, "Staying out of the Euro would prove a disaster ... the price we would pay in lost investment and trade and jobs would be incalculable."

This morning we've had the same exit scaremongering from Philip Hammond MP and Rupert Harrison of BlackRock Investments (who just happens to be a good mate of George Osborne and his former chief of staff). It is obvious as the time gets nearer to June 23rd this scaremongering is going to be ramped up to scary levels. I predict that Blair will warn everyone that Nigel Farage and UKIP have their own Weapons of Destruction and if we vote out Giant Zombie Flesh Eating Spiders will attack the UK starting in London. Yesterday Nicola Sturgeon who also campaigns to stay in the EU (despite still wanting Scotland to exit the UK) called for less hysteria and scaremongering in the debate. She knows that this tactic nearly won the day for Scotland's YES campaign last year for Independence. The NO campaign was comfortably ahead until Blair, Brown, Major etc headed north to campaign for the better together group with all their doom and gloom warnings. Like cats, the British don't like being told what to do, pretty much what the EU is all about.

The same Peter Mandelson who said in the last day or so that Cameron should sack anyone in the cabinet who's in the exit camp. I wish he'd stay in his own camp.

Both sides literally don't KNOW what will happen in the event of an exit. This is why both sides are scaremongering. It's f*cking boring and I can't believe 23rd June is still so effin' far away. Edited by DanH (02 Mar 2016 11.11am)

Edited by DanH (02 Mar 2016 11.11am) There is a lot more credence to IDS warning about a potential terror attack than there is about the global meltdown of economies (not just ours) that have been bandied about by the Stay campaign. If you polled the supporters of the Leave/Out campaign you would find most agree that particular threat is high on their list of fears and don't need reminding of it by anybody. It does p1ss me off though when it was only 3 months ago in November that Cameron was trumpeting how strong our economy was and we held no fears if we had to go it alone. Now he's giving the impression that we would have to hide behind the settee if we even contemplated leaving the EU. At least Farage and the Eurosceptics have kept to the same script.

The trouble with Mandelson is he is Camp. Unfortunately, he's also corrupt, a liar, smarmy, odious and a lot more unpleasant things as well!

F**k me, someone stake this c**t and cut off his head. Why would anyone ever be interested in what Peter Mandelson thinks or says about any issue. You might as well ask what Jimmy Savile thought about the EU.

I don't think that's true, whether or not were part of the EU, we're a terrorist target of high priority. In terms of border control, passports are still required to move into the UK. The UK and European nation states need to share intelligence on suspects, and there really is need for European states to not only share information but to establish an effective cross border police agency with powers of arrest for certain crimes (not least people trafficking, drug trafficking, murder, arms smuggling, money laundering, terrorism and computer fronted offences). It would also make sharing information of people with convictions in other countries easy. At present obtaining details of convictions from other countries is a monumental pain in the proverbial. Whilst I'm not an 'in' individual, I think there definitely are some areas where cross European 'federalism' can actually serve the people of the EU.

Edited by DanH (02 Mar 2016 11.11am) I think its more that both sides don't really want to admit that in or out, won't actually change anything. If we go out, then we'll go down the route of the 'non-eu partners' in the ETA (which essentially will undermine a lot of the reason to leave the EU) and it'll be sold on the national sovereignty issue. If we stay in, its business as usual, which is pretty much exactly what it will be if we exit.

The case for the stay vote is so negative - it is all intimidation and extortion. In truth the EU is a disaster, a Marxist experiment that has failed miserably. They cheated and bent the laws to get Greece in and then of course it went into financial meltdown, it is full of petty and too powerful Eurocrats meddling in everyone else's affairs and has someone like Juncker of Luxembourg telling everyone to take in more refugees when his own country isn't big enough to take half a dozen. It really isn't Marxist. Its a capitalist trading block that promotes corporate interests of member states and promotes a degree of federalism. But its not in any way Marxist. I'm quite pro-Marxist and I'm in the out group.
