Re: Keep your nose out Barack Obama

At least the UK knows where it stands... So much for special relationships sounds like as soon as you are no use to the USA they dump you....

Re: Keep your nose out Barack Obama

Never mind. When we have no trade deal with the EU or America, there's always China and Russia to help us out.

Re: Keep your nose out Barack Obama

My son worked in the USA when a startup company wanted a qualified graphic designer to work on their promotion web site. Then was asked to work for another over there ,which he did. All legal and above board with USA tax people and work visa and sponsor

On leaving the USA, as his contracts had run out at the airport he was taken aside by the USA customs people wanting to know why he was leaving ,all about his work etc etc. They held him in a room for over 2 hours as if he was a terrorist or something.
He could not make them understand that his work was finished and he wanted to return to the UK.
He said he would never ever go back to the USA for work reasons and he is now on record as for someone to watch out for if he ever returned even for a holiday

They are neurotic to the nth degree, I am amazed anyone can even enter their country now

America, friends of ours? only if they hold the gun

Nigel Farage in his typically succinct manner, " at the fag end of his presidency" so his opinion may not have the impact David Cameron is hoping for.

Re: Keep your nose out Barack Obama

Hi

Dream on folks.

It matters not one jot or iota who wins the USA Presidential Elections.

Trump or Clinton.

They are both Patriots, both put the USA first, so no change, they will both want us in Europe, purely in their own self interests.

Pity we do not have the Politicians who are so determined to put our interests first.

Any friend of Cameron is an enemy of mine so I'll treat Obama's words with contempt .....

Re: Keep your nose out Barack Obama

I reckon he wants us to stay in Europe because he knows if anyone starts a war with Britain, we will be calling on America to save us now that we have no armed forces left.

We will still be a member of NATO if we leave the EU.

I can just imagine THE YANKS GIVING UP ANY SOVEREIGNTY.

So keep your nose out of the British EU business,,
I believe that most thinking people will have seen through this for what it is.
All things being equal, I hope and expect this little ploy to backfire on Dopey and his mates.

well that's not how you treat friends is it ?
Yes, he shot himself in the foot there, didn't he?
Mind you, I've never regarded him as being the sharpest tool in the box.

In fact, if push comes to shove, I don't think I could trust America to help us. Look at 1939, 1940, 1941. They weren't too keen in getting involved then, were they? Not until Pearl Harbour, anyway.
