Heed Bernard, Cllr. Dawson's advice.

To see all the many benefits, instead of any negatives, think more like an 'Internationalist'.

If you still don't see all the positives of E.U. membership, ask an Estonian, Georgian, Ukranian, Armenian, or perhaps a Lithuanian, about the many advantages of being part of a centrally governed super state.

Thinking about it, old Adolf must have been one of Bernard's 'Internationalists'.

He wanted to do away with borders, and have many different nationalities living happily together as one state, but governed from a bunker, on the outskirts of Berlin.

So all that hoo hah last week was a postponement of the inevitable.

It is looking ever more likely that we won't need a referendum because there won't be EU to opt out of :D

Isn't it ironic that David Cameron, when asked about converting the Brits to Berlin time, said he would have to ask what the Scots thought....and that he wouldn't do anything so radical without first getting all the people of Britain to have their say.

Yet he is quite happy to keep us in an organisation that is sinking fast.......and expecting us to pay for the life belts.

He would be the one boarding the Titanic as it went down

They've reached destination - the rest of us are still paddling in the same direction up that Creek.:rolleyes:

In Canada, we have a saying: "Up shlt creek without a paddle". Is that the creek you are talking about?:D

Re: How'd you vote in an E.U. referendum?

Interestingly, or otherwise, I recall from a biography of Kaiser Wilhelm II, which I read some time ago, that he was an eager proponent of the idea of a federal europe long before Hitler latched on to the idea. Indeed he sent Hitler quite a few congratulatory telegrams praising his actions in pursuing the ideal. I am with the late Queen Mother on this; "Never trust the Germans". Perceptive old bird, the Queen Mum.
