    we could offer the brits what ever they want, at the end they find another point to have been separated for them.
    the whole world already speaks their simple language, more or less well. which languages are they speaking? english, scottish, welsh, australian and others important languages like american.
    it´s an illnes: they still feel like empirealistics as if we would feel to be a forth reich.

    As you are clearly not British why are you so concerned about whether the UK stays within the EU or not?

    NB As English is a simple language one could assume that even the simple can master it. What is your excuse for the post above?

    i´m german, with no excuse at all. the brits always want to be at the first place, having the most profit, don´t have any responsibility for and in a community as the eu tries to become. let the language be easy, i´m not in the mood always to think that way if my counterpart doesn´t ever think to learn german.
    i have no problem with them being out. absolutely not. but cameron should not think that the majority of the eu members could have one. it´s boring to hear always his threats in this direction.
    but i would also be happy to have you in.

    @1, 3 I understand your nationalistic feelings. After all, what else do you have? Be fair, willi1, you germans are only in the EU because it gives you another chance at running, or ruling, Europe. Already foiled twice. By Britain. You need to understand that English is spoken by over a billion people. Whereas the german language can claim less than a third of that. Therefore you NEED English or you are in a minority. We can be fairly confident of the things that you don't do as English is the required international language of communications, science, information technology, business, seafaring, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. As it happens, we will almost certainly be leaving your little club. As a trading nation, far better for us to trade with 179 or more countries, rather than just 26. You're just not big enough. Maybe we'll get back together with the Commonwealth as a start. Twice the number of members as the EU. And a population (customers) of 2.1 billion, compared to your 500 million. You stick with what you can cope with.

    The UK is screwed and both clowns of the TO BIG TO FAIL BANKS Camoron and arseborn know that!

    Dutch PM Rutte: “a UK outside the EU would be an island somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between the United States and Europe”

    Both the Germans (the power of the EU) and the Dutch (both savers and producers) want the Brits out, because they know that the city of london, you know that corrupt cesspool of fraud, LIBOR scandal that robbed the savers and pension plans, and money laundring for terrorist groups and drug dealears...oh btw, nobody went to jail..nice huh) is broke and becoming (actually it's already a blackhole) a blackhole (meaning constantly bailing out failed zombie banks and austerity for the people, specially for the ones who worship their dear leaders). By the way, RBS and Lloyd, already owned by the “taxpayers” but clueless that both are BANKRUPT, both need more bailout money. Do you get it now? No? pay more attention to the falklands, an island you will never be able to visit.

    UK's economy = Majority of the manufacturing jobs are outsourced (free trade for the corporations, not for you the regular people who don't belong to the club) while UK's economy today is dominated by crony capitalist (TBTF=TO BIG TO FAIL) City of London (financialization, worthless derivatives that nobody wants to buy except the taxpayers (QE 1, QE2, etc etc).

    Oh, let's not forget, Germans want their gold back, now the Dutch, Austrians and Swiss and many more to come. :D, it's already smelling bad there in NYC and City of Londen, who are shitting in their pants (OMG, they want their gold back..OMG..what are we going to dooo)

    @1 willi1: a simple language that you seem to struggle with. Are you on medication? That was my first thought when trying to read your post.

    I have known quite a few Germans over the years, and you are the first I've ever heard/seen use the term 'Brits'. Just a piece of constructive criticism, if you want to seem a bit more authentic.
