Remain With or Leave the EU on 19:57 - Jun 22 by exiledclaseboy
It's still decades away, even with the "accelerated" accession. And of course every single existing member state has a right to veto Turkey's membership.
Wow, said with such utter conviction. You have either developed time travel and haven't let on to the rest of us. Or perhaps you have prescience? You obviously couldn't possibly, under any circumstances, be wrong, could you?

Only time will tell on that one old son. I was expressing an opinion, it's what we do on here. Feel free to bring it up if I turn out to be incorrect. You seem like you'd enjoy doing that.

Wainwright's alarm about the adverse impact of Brexit on fighting terrorism and international crime is shared by many leading experts. Here, for example, are the views of Dame Pauline Neville Jones, former chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee:
"Where I think those who want us to leave the EU get it seriously wrong is on border control and police cooperation. As regards borders, the central claim is that if we left the EU we would be better able to keep terrorists out of Britain ... This really is nonsense .... The irony is that if we left the EU, our border control could well actually deteriorate. The control we conduct in Calais or Paris, in relation to the Channel tunnel and the Eurostar, would be at severe risk following Brexit, with the likely result that the Calais migrant camp would establish itself in Kent.
The aim of border control policy is to push the point of control as far from a country’s physical shores as possible : for instance to foreign airports, so that we can prevent undesirable individuals ever getting on a plane to the UK. EU cooperation underpins this, and it would be a serious security mistake to create a situation where many more people were able to cross into the UK in the first place."

You're wasting your time. Didn't you know PS was more informed than Europe's and America's intelligence agencies, pretty much all financial institues and leading science bodies?

friday's going to be amazing! i'm going to wake up in my Union Jack jim-jams to the sound of a squadron of Spitfires racing overhead and leaving a trail of hot buttered crumpets behind them
I'll run to the corner shop past all the british children who are laughing and squealing with excitement as they make a beautiful statue of the queen out of happy wriggling bulldog puppies - with two corgis for her eyebrows!
bunting flutters everywhere and the man from the betting shop steps into the street - "guess what! England just won the World Cup & The Ashes & The Grand National and here's the best bit - Boris put a bet on it for everyone! you're all MILLIONAIRES!!!"
the red arrows fly overhead dropping fish and chips as i walk into the corner shop, get my morning paper and go to the counter. "how much please?" i say to the asian lad there. "1 pence, everything in the whole shop now costs just 1p!" he laughs, "leave it on the counter, i'm off back to pakistan - we all are!"
and he's right! outside in the streets jolly old nigel farage is leading a huge crowd of happy foreigners - turks, poles, romanians, syrians - there's even a few English people with heavy suntans mixed up in there! nigel's playing Rule Britannia on a long pipe, rather like the pipe that takes the gas into your oven, and they're all following and smiling and talking foreign, bless them!
just then boris flies overhead in a concorde made of Bank of England gold - "don't worry!" he laughs "I've cut out all the bits the French made!" and with that he crashes into the ground at 1200 miles an hour, along with the economy, the country and all the dozy nostalgic foreigner-fearing f*ckwits who fell for his bullshit.

270,000 migrants came here last year apparently, we surely can't sustain that, that's without the supposed cost of staying in the EU, Turkey are poised to join the EU as well, god knows what'll happen then.
If migrants from the EU are net contributors to the public purse, how is it not sustainable?

Fair enough - as I said, I might have done.
It would probably have been better if I'd used the words 'I'm not certain why you dislike him so much' - hate was probably too strong in which case I apologise.
I am not however certain why you dislike him so much!

No apology necessary Lisa, I can understand your thinking. Unfortunately you do not understand mine. He has blatently lied to the public about "extreme weather", the actual NASA data say's so. He also lied about Obamacare. He has been involved in crony capitalism that has cost his public billions. But it doesn't really matter how he has treated the people who voted for him, that is their problem. What I cannot stand is how much money is being wasted by the world combatting a non problem that you also happen to believe in. As we cannot agree on it we have to agree to disagree.

Indeed, and I have no problem with that.
i guess that ultimately I think even if we are 'wasting money' on climate change, it is forcing us into a world which doesn't rely so much on wasting resources, and I'm more comfortable with that than I am with spending equivalent amounts on blowing people up.

Why am I pussy footing around here? For us in Wales to vote for Brexit would be an act of abject folly. None of the main arguments for Brexit hold water in Wales - regardless of whether they have merit in the rest of the UK. Turkeys voting for Xmas comes to mind.
If anyone in Wales votes for Brexit because of immigration, where only 6% or so of Wales' population was born outside of the UK, then they are either twp, racist, or both.

This is the first I have heard of Brits wanting to take political advice from Americans regarding governing their own country. On what planet would the opinion of an American sway a Brit's vote on this anyway? Our opinions would do nothing but solidify those contrary to said opinion, only making it harder for either side to convince each other of anything. It is best we stay out of it.
