Go Boris Go!!!!!!!

It's about time we really did make some noise about a referendum on staying in Europe.

Maybe this time Came-moron will listen to the people he's supposed to represent............... Then again.....

We knew that. He did a TV programme called 'Who Do You Think You Are' where the family tree is traced. Imagine if CFKC did that? Oh, what skeletons there are in her closet - behind all those expensive designer shoes.

BoJo's father was briefly in the intelligence agency. There are some very funny stories about that family but they are endearing because they don't try to hide it or rewrite history.

The referendum can't be held off much longer and Germany are dreading it, they know losing the UK, a net contributor, will be disastrous for the EU and will send a shockwave through the whole mess. I think we should maintain common market, but they can keep the rest including their Human Rights Act and straight banana rules.

These brits live in Anti-Earth, where the protons anti-protons are and the electrons positrons.

They seriously believe France, Germany, and Italy (whose economies are larger or the same as the UK on their own, and much larger in tandem), will actually listen to the petulant brits

“we want to pick and choose what EU things we like or don't... basically, we wan't to have access but not pay for it”.

This stuff can't be made up.

The Europeans will tell you to stuff it. You will think that's swell... and then you will be utterly isolated and your products will no longer enter the EU free.

Then you go in the crapper.

I want to stay in the EU. What I do not want is to belong to a United States of Europe and I sure as hell do not want someone I did not elect, making laws that this country are legally bound to abide by. The UK Parlaiment should be only place where this is done, not some chamber in Brussels!

Under the present and future (they will never back down) laws of the EU your two wishes are mutually exclusive.

I do hope (but cannot see it happening) that the UK is allowed a vote to leave or stay.

Retired as I am in Uruguay I will miss it, if it ever happens.

I can envisage us holding a referendum on whether we should hold a referendum!

There is nothing, but nothing, that the EU can give us,
That our own government cant,

And if our own government can’t or wont give us, then there is something very badly wrong with our government.
