Cathode rays (electron beams) are streams of electrons observed in vacuum tubes. If an evacuated glass tube is equipped with two electrodes and a voltage is applied, glass behind the positive electrode is observed to glow, due to electrons emitted from the cathode (the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the voltage supply). They were first observed in 1869 by German physicist Johann Wilhelm Hittorf, and were named in 1876 by Eugen Goldstein Kathodenstrahlen, or cathode rays.
Cathode rays are so named because they are emitted by the negative electrode, or cathode, in a vacuum tube.

Re: Why do we hate the EU?

Hi

I do not hate the EU at all.

It is simply not for me.

I do not even object to a Customs Union and the Single Market.

That makes sense, bigger is better when it comes to Trade Negotiations.

I want no part of further integration, the Euro, common taxation policies etc.

I am fed up with France and Germany constantly breaking the rules with no action taken against them.

The EU is not something I want to be part of.

Re: Why do we hate the EU?

The fact is we are not liked by continentals .
It's difficult to not hate the EU when they show their contempt for us so clearly .

Hi

Whose fault is that Muddy?

It is ours, well our Politicians.

Cameron went cap in hand to ask for permission to do things France, Germany, Austria etc had just done and no action taken against them.

We voluntarily refer things to the ECJ, things we do not have to.

France and Germany don't, France kicked out 10,000 Roma, we do not

France and Germany and others did not allow free movement immediately when the Eastern European Countries joined.

this was entirely within EU Rules.

Which country just opened it's doors?

We did of course.

We have an absolute exemption from Free Movement on the grounds of Public Safety and Public Health.

Do we use it?

No.

We deport EU Criminals at the end of their sentences.

They then come back here and commit further offences.

We are a joke.

It annoys me.
