Re: Who Is Nigel Farage
I have always had this sneaking suspicion that being a member of the EU is overall a good thing. It seems to me that being a member has increased our government's accountability to people more than ever e.g the Court of Human Rights.Re: Who Is Nigel Farage
ctually, the European Court of Human Rights is entirely separate from the EU, and is something we were signed up to long before. But in so many other aspects of our lives, being a European member has - for me anyway - been very positive. I agree we all need to find out more about what the EU is about because the likes of Farage get away with so many false but unchallenged statements about it. But when you do find out the facts, it makes you very angry with the lies and distortions that they have got away with for so long.Re: Who Is Nigel Farage
Re: Who Is Nigel Farage
I think one of the biggest resentments that I have about the current EU set up is that we have been brought here by stealth and not by choice. It is hard to deny that this is not what we voted for and by denying us a say on where we are going it makes us even more suspicious of the politicians' motives. Freedom from tyranny is something precious that millions have given their lives for and it is being taken away from us and being given no choice in the matter. If it is such a good thing for us then they need to convince us and going by the majority of public opinion they haven't managed that yet.Re: Who Is Nigel Farage

Re: Who Is Nigel Farage
Whether it's nonsense or not what is happening now is damaging our country so for that reason alone it seems crazy to stay in it. Also I am over 50 and never been asked whether I want this union or not. We need to ask people and see if the experiment has worked because what we have now is as far from a common market (we signed up for) as you could get.
