for the uk to exit the eu it needs to secure a suitable free trade agreement with the remaining eu block of nations. to do that the uk will still have to contribute financially to the eu and follow the majority of it's regulations.

so unless/until the uk gets itself into a position where it's not economically dependent on trading freely within europe, leaving the eu would be a pointless exercise.

It's a failed concept: a monetary alliance without a political one. This was the criticism at the start and hasn't changed.  Now, it's reached the point where everyone knows their in a bad relationship but they don't know how to get out of it.

At least the Brits were smart enough not to give up their currency.

While certainly true, the concept of the United States of Europe just doesn't work because of the history and culture. A German thinks of himself as German first and then European. In the U.S, it's the opposite. We think of ourselves as Americans, first, and whatever state we come from, second.

Garbage. The UK runs an £8 billion plus trade deficit with the EU.

The farmers of France and car manufacturers of Germany would cripple their countries with strikes if their governments caused problems with trade agreements.

The UK is far better being out of the EU.  The EU is failed entity and needs to be put out of its misery.

so what if the uk runs an £8 billion deficit with the eu ? the eu is our biggest trading partner both in terms of imports and exports.
we also run a +20 billion deficit with china.....you think they are economically more dependent on us than we are them?

in reality it will make little difference whether we stay in or exit, as as i said previously any exit will involve us signing an agreement to adhere to the majority of current eu regulation anyway. if you don't realise that then you really have no clue.

The UK would no longer be subject to EU diktat and regains her sovereignty. That is what will happen. And hopefully over time the EU laws that don't suit the UK mentality will fade away.

I own business that's in the UK and two other EU countries, the differences are so great that I now firmly believe that the UK needs to regain as much independence as possible.

look at this way, 50% of our exports go to the eu whilst 5% of eu exports come to the uk. we may be one of the strongest members within the eu but we lose a lot of our bargaining power outside. any losses will be far more diluted to them than it will us.

do you think it is important that if we leave the eu that we still have access to the european single market?

because to continue with that access we will need to adhere to the majority of eu regulation anyway.

I think it is safe to say most Europeans by now know they are being replaced and do not want it. Yet still the propaganda machine keeps turning. Look at this piece of propaganda here:

i don't know why merkel gets such bad press, she's one of the only european leaders that actually has any integrity. all the rest are just populist c@nts.

her proposal to take a large number of refugees from syria is morally correct. for one(and most importantly), europe is greatly responsible for the current mess in syria/middle east. so it is only right that we should do our bit to help alleviate the humanitarian situation.

the surrounding relatively poor countries in the region like jordan and lebanon already have millions of refugees between them.

Respectfully, there is no moral obligation to take in millions of people from the middle east, most who don't want to assimilate.  They need to change their countries from within.

no moral obligation when you're greatly responsible for causing the mess in the 1st place?

and why won't syrians assimilate? they're culturally not too different from turks or even greeks, immigrants of which have both done very well in the uk. syria like iraq was quite a secular country before we helped let the extremist lunatics in.

Haha. Responsible. I would say the blame can be laid on the nation that started these recent wars:

Gulf War I
Gulf War II (WMD)
Afghanistan

Therefore, by your reasoning, the US should take them all in.

Britain to far gone already for opting out to give them any real benefit the immigrant population will eventually breed them into minority status. Glad i left the shite hole, lazy native population sew the seeds of today by opting for welfare over work a generation or so ago, pushing politicians to the easy decision of bringing in cheaper immigrant labour, basket case thats been copied all over the world only thing is today its even worse, most refugees these days are just looking to live as welfare supported immigrants not embrace the country they arrive in for opportunity, like Europe needs more people with their unemployment numbers and financial position. Worlds gone mad most politicians more concerned with if Steve can marry Larry than the  real issues confronting the population.  Outside of Putin there aren't any politicians anymore just populists.

Then the same could be said about Americans, that they should accept even more millions of refugees because of the illegal war in Iraq and then Obama pulling out troops which allowed ISIS to take over.

that is partly correct. it is a way for cameron to put the tory eurosceptics to bed for good. but when ukip got more votes than any mainstream party in the last euro election, that pretty much did make it a national issue and legitimised a referendum.

no i am not

i agree most are moderate but the harsh reality is the muslim and western cultures dont integrate well

different values and principles completely different cultures

even the moderate muslims live n their own communities and stay apart

and there is enough of the lunatics to reduce the safety of our children

so unfortunately fuck all of them

we gave a duty to protect our own population and any risk to that is unacceptable

i'm neither a liberal nor a conservative or anything else. i form my opinions on the merits of each issue.

do you accept that the US and co (uk included) are greatly responsible for the mess in syria?

if your answer is yes, then it's beyond ridiculous to say we have no responsibility to take a significant number of the refugees.

who says moderate muslims don't integrate well? what problems has the UK really had with moderate muslim immigrants in the past?
turkish immigrants (another secular muslim country) have done well in the uk.

people stay in their own communities across plenty of lines . the irish , jews, greeks, turks, indians all tend to live within their own communities. even across class groups, working/middle/upper classes .....tend to be pretty tribal.

Most of the illegal immigrants are not Syrians, they're from any Middle Eastern country and arriving without security checks or documents and allowed to stay.

These are double-standards since people from other countries with qualifications and documents will be deported if they do not follow the set procedures.

who said they were an "economic powerhouse"?

here's a bit more for you from wiki

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secularism_in_Syria

"The process of secularization in Syria began under the French mandate in the 1920s and went on continuously under different governments since the independence. Syria has been governed by the Arab nationalist Baath Party since 1963. The Baath regime combined Arab Socialism with secular ideology and an authoritarian political system. The constitution guarantees religious freedom for every recognized religious communities, including many Christian denominations"

Assad was actually seen as a progressive and opposed by many in his own government for trying to reform syria more towards being a free market economy.

Most of the illegal immigrants are not Syrians, they're from any Middle Eastern country and arriving without security checks or documents and allowed to stay.

These are double-standards since people from other countries with qualifications and documents will be deported if they do not follow the set procedures.






agreed, probably a good number of north africans in there too trying to pass themselves off as syrians.

it's simple though really, if we didn't stir up trouble and bomb the shit out of this region, there likely wouldn't be such a severe refugee crisis for anyone to hijack.

The Western nations should have all backed Assad and the Kurds the moment the problems in Syria started. The Jihadists would have been long defeated by now. Instead, the US and UK have their own agenda, often arm the radical Islamists (while claiming to fight "terror") and make matters worse in the region. That's why Putin is the only leader that has my respect. He understands who the real threat's are and doesn't indulge in crafty games.

Are the West responsible for the mess in Syria? Partly yes, although the stem of the problem is the brainwashed, sectarian population within the Middle East.
Should the European nations take in refugees? I'd say yes to the women and children (especially those of Christian and Yazidi backgrounds) but most certainly not to the single young Sunni men.

Because of the nature of these societies. They have no conception of fidelity, which is central to our way of living. That's why democracy does not work in places like Iraq and one of the reasons dictatorships are a tolerable solution. In the Middle East, the idea that you will vote for someone to represent you is totally absurd, especially when that someone was not born in exactly the same geographical location (see: village) as you. There is no good faith in an elected representative, or indeed, anyone your family does not know personally. Their affairs are handled on a village-by-village basis, by a small band of elderly men, who act as administrators, lawyers, judges, representatives, businessmen, depending on the occasion. To us, this luck of trust is paranoid, to them, our concept of good faith is naive.

i'm neither a liberal nor a conservative or anything else. i form my opinions on the merits of each issue.

do you accept that the US and co (uk included) are greatly responsible for the mess in syria?

if your answer is yes, then it's beyond ridiculous to say we have no responsibility to take a significant number of the refugees.

who says moderate muslims don't integrate well? what problems has the UK really had with moderate muslim immigrants in the past?
turkish immigrants (another secular muslim country) have done well in the uk.

people stay in their own communities across plenty of lines . the irish , jews, greeks, turks, indians all tend to live within their own communities. even across class groups, working/middle/upper classes .....tend to be pretty tribal.

your problem is you probably have little grasp of "the facts" that's why your opinions are half baked and have no substance.

Muslim countries have been fighting each other over religion for centuries...1000yrs+ actually.  No, the US and UK are not PRIMARILY responsible for their continued wars.  They need to change their countries from within.  US and UK can support as a coalition of countries to promote peace...perhaps safe havens.  Relocating millions of muslims to UK, US and Western Europe that don't want to assimilate and have very different laws and culture is not best for anyone.  We are also responsible for our people first.

Britain to far gone already for opting out to give them any real benefit the immigrant population will eventually breed them into minority status. Glad i left the shite hole, lazy native population sew the seeds of today by opting for welfare over work a generation or so ago, pushing politicians to the easy decision of bringing in cheaper immigrant labour, basket case thats been copied all over the world only thing is today its even worse, most refugees these days are just looking to live as welfare supported immigrants not embrace the country they arrive in for opportunity, like Europe needs more people with their unemployment numbers and financial position. Worlds gone mad most politicians more concerned with if Steve can marry Larry than the  real issues confronting the population.  Outside of Putin there aren't any politicians anymore just populists.

You make some valid points about responsibility, but it's not too much of a tautological twist to suggest that you're flying in the face of "two wrongs don't make a right".

The West has screwed up in the ME, that's obvious. America especially just doesn't do foreign policy all that well. But to suggest that we should screw up our own countries by welcoming in a bunch of medieval goat fcukers is beyond mental.

On the night of September 11th 2001  I saw carnival time in East London. There is no such thing as multi-culturalism for many of these Muslims. Bear in mind that a large % of them are the dregs of their own society.  We are not taking about shipping in a bunch of Iranian emigres.

tbf syrians are probably more similar culturally to turks than they are the group of nationalities you've listed. and i'm sure the number being talked about europe taking is something like a million, that absorbed into a population of 500 million really isn't such a big deal.

regardless of any of that i'm of the belief that if you cause a mess you do your bit to clean it up even if it means some hardship on your part.

If we take in large amounts of Middle Eastern refugees, than the ones belonging to the religious minorities in the area should be given preference. Any migration of Sunni Muslims should be closely monitored. Migrants from places such as Somalia are of a bigger concern than Syrians/Lebanese/Persians etc.

Fuckin-A right.  Any politician who says he supports a war should prove it - resign and go sign up with the infantry.

There are no logistical roadblocks remaining to direct democracy with current technology.  The only argument against it, and possibly a good one, is that people are idiots and can't be trusted to make the right call.  Which isn't much of an endorsement of any kind of democracy to begin with.

I agree with you on some points, at times we back factions that later cause problems and have extremist elements but the most important point that you don't seem to understand is these people are constantly fighting each other, this is the history of the middle east with respect to wars.  They fight over subtle differences in religion, over land, and regimes.  That is why dictators are successful, they rule by harsh force and suppress the warring factions. Whether we are there or not, they are already fighting each other.  It is a liberal talking point to say we caused groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda by intervention in the Gulf war and after, that is false...we have influenced different factions, agree but these extremists in some form were already there.  In fact, when we left Iraq, Isis filled the voids, that is a fact listening to people that know far more than you and I.  I have listened to quite a few military leaders in their description of what is happening in the middle east.  I have cleared military members to go to the middle east for yrs.  They describe how bad it is in many regions there.  How backward and blinded the general population is, for the most part, with their lives being ruled by their religion.  Most people in the middle east want to live under Islamic law, they choose it, it is a part of their daily life and routine.  That is incompatible with western culture, entirely.  We cannot just relocate these people and think they will blend with Western culture and law.  The only way this will change is for younger generations to rise up and change their own countries.  We cannot force change and cannot nation build.  I agree, we should not leave large #s of troops there indefinitely and should only engage when it is in our best interest or to prevent genocide.
