I hope they do leave, if Europe is a big family England is the annoying half brother that nobody likes!!

If UK leave the eu will crumble,we should join the UK in the fight for fairness

“if Europe is a big family”

The constant arguing, wrangling, pettiness and disputes … yes, just like a family.

Europe knows this, Cameron knows this…..hence the ‘negotiations’ will go in favour of the UK. Well done to Cameron for playing the gamers game, I wish Enda would grow a spine and look out for the Irish people, sadly he doesn’t want to!

@ryan o,the guys in the eu know if they tell enda he is doing a great job he will present Ireland pale white ar*e for them to do as they wish

True.
Although, I definitely think we should still help people less fortunate to make better lives for themselves. We prob just need a more weighted approach.
The situation shouldn’t exist where the no border policy means anyone can just go to a country with high social welfare payments and claim them. Any social welfare that a person needs should be paid by the country where they were born, regardless of where you move to.

Seems mostly green ones! But its the bloody truth

Here here. At least Britan kept it’s identity and sense of pride.
Well done folks and good luck.

What’s so wrong with the EU? They bailed us out of economic collapse. We’d all be wrestling for the last chocolate bar in supervalu if it wasnt for them

@evan,they causes the chrises

Evin whatever Europe done,good or bad.Please don’t call it a “bailout” it is a loan with a sizeable interest margin.

There’s a global recession. the EU didn’t cause that. They also didn’t cause our property bubble in Ireland, we caused that.
What did EU do?
Well yeah it’s gotta be a loan with interest. If they gave us free money we’d be happy out. The interest makes us not want to make the same mistakes that put us in this mess.

Evin gald you accept its a loan and not a bailout.As for the interest not making us want to do it again,i’m not even going to address that other than to say you are aware why a bank charges interest.It is nothing got to do with modifying behaviour.

Yeah banks charge interest to compensate them for the risk that they may not receive that money back.
Seems fair to be honest.
We didn’t have to take the loan, we chose to because it was the easiest option.

Evin you really haven’t a clue what happened to this country have you?.I would suggest you don’t try and answer,just veiw it as a rethorical question.

What does rhetorical mean?

“What did EU do?”

Controlled the interest rates in a way that was detrimental to Ireland and wasn’t to certain other economies (which are now not in trouble).

@evin we would be still able to buy chocolate bars with punts & wouldnt have crippling debt around our necks that is impossible to pay back.

Guys, if you got a loan and couldn’t pay it back, you wouldn’t blame the person who lended it to you. You’d blame yourself.
Just like we should blame ourselves here, learn from it and move on.
Talking about the EU controlling interest rates is touching on something that maybe didn’t help us, but that’s not the cause of the recession.

I just don’t understand why so many people seem to hate the EU so much and think they’re out to get us. They don’t have all the answers, they’re trying to figure it out. If we don’t like what they’re doing we should be telling them what they’re doing wrong and not just complaining about them for the hell of it.

The eu controlled the loan and made conditions that were insulting..we didn’t need the money at all Iceland let’s the banks crumble they are now well up the ladder out of recession while we linger at the bottom..all to secure the government pension and no other reason

Odd that Norway and Switzerland seem to manage on their own seeing as you mentioned them don’t you think?

Trade rules are different from the likes of financial/tax/immigration rules. A federalised Europe would leave less power to the UK to govern their own land…a great bit of forward thinking from Cameron. They didn’t take the euro for a reason!
