If they're by going to charge you £7 to visit the EU, then my first question would be "What will I be charged to return from my visit?" .
Always check for the exits before entering any questionable establishment.
One man's opinion.

Methinks we should have been asking THAT question four decades ago!

A technology solution designed and implemented by the government? I doubt if many of us will see it completed in our lifetime.

A French construction company, Vinci, has just paid £2.9 Billion for 50+% of Gatwick Airport!
Clearly, for the BBC, this is one story they can’t blame on Brexit.
So, guess what? You’ll struggle to find it on the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation’s website.

I heard it mentioned on the Radio (they were talking about the apparent Drone problems, just before Christmas, that shut down the airport and fact that because it was owned by Nigerian interests caused delay on the Army being called in) that the rest of Gatwick is owned by a Nigerian businessman or organisation so perhaps they sold some of it to the French? Also if we leave E.U. we will still be getting migrants coming in but they will be from Africa and places like Nigeria - different skin color but still migrants.

A search brings this link up https://allafrica.com/stories/201208040520.html Adebayo Ogunlesi owns Gatwick.

Why do you immediately assume any comment about Brexit is about race and immigrants?
I was alluding to the fact that a European company has decided to invest in a UK asset.
Or are you just another one of those ‘liberals’ who accuse others of their own repressed fears?

He does this purely because he can...and he is one of the rainclouds in life.
When he disappears it is suddenly a lovely day.
He is so fixated on his perceived ideas of what those who voted to leave think.
He thinks he knows how we think...but in the main...he has not a clue.

Thing that amuses me with this, is the Fact a french Company has invested 2.9 Billion in the U.K. but the dickheads think we are going to fail by leaving, just demonstrates to people what knobs they really are.:D:D:D:D:D

Because I read somewhere on this website a comment about poles (meaning Polish people) are a nuisance. Many people who voted to leave
EU did so for racist reasons. I was telling you that Gatwick was owned by a Nigerian businessman and they must have decided to sell part of it to the French, for what ever reason - probably money.

Usual rubbish about me - I have spent lot of time listening to LBC radio where people ring up and cover their opinions and many are racist who voted to leave the EU and many never travel out of the UK. Fact - you lot seem to just want to attack every thing I say - I would think many of you voted to leave for same reasons.

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!
 
You leave yourself open to criticism because you know very little about us.
My reasons for voting to leave were very simple.
I do not wish to be ruled by unelected bureaucrats who do not have a jot of interest in the people of this country.
I do not wish to be insulted, denigrated and belittled by the people our fathers and grandfathers gave their lives to protect.
I do not wish to be told that I cannot buy Russet apples...bent bananas, curly cucumbers.
I do not want this unelected crew to tell us what fish we can catch....and if we catch the wrong ones....well even though they are dead(but a good protein food source) our fishermen have to throw them back.

It was never about Polish people, but it was about those flooding into the EU who portray themselves as refugees....and expect to be taken in by the EU....and if they are given citizenship, then there is little to stop them coming here....being housed, being supported, their health care needs met.

I voted to leave because this is a corrupt organisation that has not had an audit passed for more than two decades.....if it were a business it would have been closed down as being fraudulent.
I am sick of seeing some countries in the EU ride roughshod over other member states....this is an act of dictatorship...it is certainly not democratic.

I have read lots of stuff(not just in the media...but from other academic sources)about the EU.
My vote was a very carefully considered action...with rational and logical reasoning...and nothing I have seen or heard has made me consider that I voted wrongly.

You make sneering comments about our motives for the way we voted....and believe me that endears you to no-one.

My posted views are moderate and I do not attack someone in a personal way....because I know a personal attack will devalue my argument.
I stand by what I have posted.

Oh and it is not 'the usual rubbish' about you.
What I said was honest and true...that is how I roll. I am not going to change how I see things and I say it how I see it.

If you said something relevant...something that showed you understand why we voted the way we did...but you do not.


Not only that but you politicise every thread you touch...even the Christmas thread....you felt you had to throw some political comment on something that was a way of sending greetings to other members.
Then you wonder why you get the flack.
