Quote: David Carmon @ May 1 2010, 2:19 AM BSTI couldn't give a monkeys nuts about the EU. What good does it do us really? It has made the UK turn into a carbon copy of every other country almost. Its the reason why we are overun with Europeans and it overturns our laws whenever it wants.
On the other hand - if we got out of the EU we wouldn't be able to enter the Eurovision.
Well as Fella points out 80% of exports and those at a massively favorable rate. All the money we send the EU is like a club membership in an exclusive rich boys club. Not to mention the other 20% benefits hugely from us being inside. Why do you think everyone aside from the actual super powers want in on Europe ?(well and Russia but they're odd).
Thanks to the EU being actually an incredibly feeble organisation. We get all the manifold benefits of being in a huge trading alliance with no issues about having to commit to defence etc.
And as for legislation. Sorry but piad holidays and workers rights. The EU courts have been giving us what our government what our government has been incapable of for years. Don't hate a friend when your own friend can't tkae care of you.
