Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

It looks as though those garlic-munching slimeballs from across the channel are up to their old tricks again. This time, Chirac, having received the V sign on the constitution from his own people, now wants to end the UK "rebate".

I think Blair needs to remind those surrender monkeys exactly who pays for what in Europe. Its certainly not them - they, the Spaniards, the Micks and the kebab-eaters soak up two-thirds of all the spending in the "Common Market", and next to the Germans, it is us who pick up the bill. Without the rebate, we would be paying far more than the Germans. So do we give up the rebate? After all, we've already given away our borders, our legal system, our fish, our sovereignty and 'owt else thats not been nailed down.

However, I know there is at least one pro-euro do-gooder on these boards who would be quite happy to do so; let us have a poll, therefore.

TO RIGHT, Mr T!

I've nothing more to add.

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

5 billion a year into the EU without the rebate!! I am certain the advantages do not give value for money.... Of course we'll have to back down and give it up eventually, because the we always do back down and give in to the eu...

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

giving in is the only way..

it is the british thing to do after all

funny how a country that lost 2 world wars and a country that surreneders at the first sighn of trouble can have so much influence in europe

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

Can I just say that I'm glad it's not just me who thinks that the French are a bunch of arrogant, whining weasles who think that the European Union exists to make life more profitable for them and for them alone. It is time that we told the Eurocrats where to stick their grandiose ideas of a supranational state.

The French have always been fair-weather friends at best. I haven't forgotten that it was another French President, De Gaulle, who did his damndest to keep us out of Europe until the end of the sixties. Funny how they were all over us just twenty five years before that when their current best buddies the Germans were occupying La belle France, and De Gaulle himself found sanctuary and support in the UK.

It's a bit rich of Chirac now to be asking for "a gesture of solidarity" for which you may read "we're in the merde and we want another handout"

I think we should take this golden opportunity to get out now! Let them keep their failing economies and rising unemployment. Britain is better off ploughing its own furrow.

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

I think that we should get the hell out before we are dragged down any further. We should re-claim our pounds and ounces, our laws and our fishing waters and.........

obtenez-perdu vous des whingers de manger d'ail au Français.:D

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

Have to agree with Mr T too.I have been holidaying in Spain for over 15 years and since they got shut of the peseta and converted to the Euro everything is much more expensive.All the shop keepers and bar owners took the opportunity to "round everything up" to make it easier and have continued to do so ever since.I have no doubt that the same would happen here and the common folk would end up the worse off.

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

wasnt it the UK indipendance party that said they would pull out of europe if elected

i say get them in for one term it would be worth it just to say kiss my ass to the EU lol

GREAT BRITAIN THE LITTLE (BIG) proud country now holds its hands above its head and shakes its ass faster than an italian!!

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

is that because we only have a majority of asians living in britain the frogs are 22 miles across the water but what would you rather see LOOK.

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

There is a handy little graphic in this mornings Times to explain who pays what into the EU budget and who gets the lions share of it...

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

not quite correct lindsey, the suppliers put the prices up,then the shopkeepers and bar owners adjusted accordingly,as your shop would have to in similar circumstances. as a bar owner during the change over that is fact.

Me thinks 'twas probably Tinks and not Jane Birkin singing/[orgasming] with Serge Gainsbourg on 'Je t'aime, ne moi en plus'????????????

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

Are there any benefits for us to be a part of the EU ?
I think the referendum should be "Do we want to be part of Europe?"
If we get a yes then we can vote on the constitution.
If we get a no then the Frogs can shove our gesture of solidarity up there ****!!

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

Here is another interesting Times Graphic which illustrates the disparity between UK and French contributions to the EU budget.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...653349,00.html

And shows how the French manage to screw £72 more, per head of population, per year, out of Europe than we get.

And this is paid for by your taxes!


No wonder Chirac is loath to agree to a reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

The EU is a done deal, and after Tony has taken over the role of chairperson of the EU, the UK will accede to the rest of the gravy train plonkers, by increasing the net contribution by the UK.

Neither Chancellor Schröder or TB (yes,its also a disease and so is he!) dare to have a referendem on the EU Constitution let alone one on continued membership. It's not what the population think or want....its what the politicians want...where else will they go when they get kicked out of Parliament? The only place is Brussels or Strasbourg..and a very rich gravy train! (hence Mr & Mrs Kinnock living off the fat of Europe).

To Mr. TB the EU is a god sent distraction from everyday tax, tax and crime, crime. And he can play the loving role of senior world figure (never mind what my hands are doing, look at the smile!).

Germany is now in a real mess with unemployment rocketing, health system failing, costs spiraling, and they can't do a dammed thing about their finances as they no longer have the Deutschmark!!

One of UK's most distressing probelms (to an outside) is the press and media. What they report is absolute rubbish and brain washing mediocrity. They care more about the soaps, big brother crap than real live information and independant reporting of actual news. Sky decides what will be reported according to where they have a camera of Sat link! And experts pop up from god knows what depths of synicism!

OK you go on believing that the EU is rotten (it is sometimes), but it also has benefits for all, if they were properly applied by that load of fat cats in the EU parliament.

The people of Europe are being used and so are those in the UK. The only real hope for the EU is some stability from the UK...but with NuLabour we would only get spin!!

Anybody considering emigrating???

Re: Should the EU rebate be ended?
 

I have always found it amusing to read teh pares that are splashed with 'NO TO THE EURO!' all over the front then pages of adverts for 'COME AND LIVE IN SPAIN!' inside. :)
