But apparently "À couteaux tirés" as they say in Europe.<br /><br />You have to wonder at the legendary "importance" of Britain if their ministers are left in corridors.<br /><br />Certainly, if Britain leaves it will be interesting to see how special the relationship with the US is, and indeed with China.<br /><br />And how quickly the rest of the Europeans are begging the brits to sign trade deals.<br /><br />Who knows, Cameron may be right. There's a first time for everything.<br /><br />What does worry me is the appalling thought of a Tory government unfettered by any EU law H&S or workers' rights, and out of the EU mrs may can have her way and replace European Human Rights legislation with a British version. We all know that most rights in Britain will be given to those with titles or whose annual income can be measured in 7 figures (including that made in the BVI).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-65106048654537018822016-05-14T10:27:13.814+01:002016-05-14T10:27:13.814+01:00Including the hairy ears?Including the hairy ears?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-21861513320748152222016-05-14T09:48:05.936+01:002016-05-14T09:48:05.936+01:00Is it just my imagination or is there a similarity...Is it just my imagination or is there a similarity to a wide-mouthed Farage in the top photo? <br /><br />I have to admit to being ill-informed about the advantages/disadvantages of EU but being from a family of fisher-men who were significantly and adversely affected by the RU Fisheries policies my inclination would be to leave. I seem to recall the UK Fisheries representative being left sitting in the corridor whilst discussions on this issue were taking place. <br /><br />On the other hand I can see the benefits of such as the European Working directives which the Tories would be delighted to abolish. Of course there is no guarantee that the EU could not at some time in the future pursue a more right-wing approach and abolish it themselves.John Brownliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248027418059598116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-87971820387119465232016-05-14T09:22:41.889+01:002016-05-14T09:22:41.889+01:00Talking about Whisky Galore the original film had ...Talking about Whisky Galore the original film had the saddest and most forlorn line in film history when the barman said "There is no whisky".

On the other hand to want to leave a market of 500 million seems, let us say, a brave choice, to me, based on the Brits image of themselves, rather than reality.<br /><br />And most of it is based on hatred of foreigners. The trouble is that within a few years we will desperately need foreigners to work to provide taxes to keep a massive elderly population living till they are 100.<br /><br />Still, for all that I'm undecided about what will be best.<br /><br />But one thing I can say with certainty is that if "out" is about that band of complete divvies, then I'll in "in".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-22458239541136988532016-05-13T22:14:27.082+01:002016-05-13T22:14:27.082+01:00It was indeed, Derek.
