Indeed. That is the reason Britain will never leave the E.U. Britain needs small economically weak 'territories' through which they can sell things or have them produced for nothing. The British, French, Belgians and all these other imperial colonial powers aren't in the E.U for love, or European brotherhood, they are I it for what they can get. I always find it funny when British companies drape themselves in the national flag around sports events, they are trans-national, no interest in 'nation' at all....

Nah it's your typical bedwetting liberal sitting in his Islington ghetto pontificating about how people should leave the town bike alone. It's her choice if she wants to have eleven kids, a horse, flying lessons.....she can afford it after all. Oh.

Britain not being part of the EU would hardly make any difference in business terms. British companies sell things all over the world, why would pulling out of Europe affect that? I find that point ludicrous. And as for companies paying no tax, well they obviously should be shouldn't they? And British companies also have things produced all over the world, not just the EU. I think you are totally missing the point. And of course British companies advertise at sporting events, they want to sell their products don't they? Especially as the vast majority of spectators at British events are obviously British. There are plenty of foreign companies too that advertise at such event's.

I don't really get your point Corina, are you also saying that as British product's are sold in Romania that freedom of movement should be allowed? If you are it just doesn't make sense, there are products from all over the world in every country, what does that have to do with freedom of movement? Absolutely nothing. Should we open the doors to China because of all the products we get from their? Pathetic to even think it isn't it?

I was most amused to see EDF sponsoring the Olympics after Paris lost the bid...
We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands. The loom of time and space works the most astonishing transformations of matter. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

Anyone mention a north London school that banned parents attending their kids sporting events, for fear of paedophiles attending?

Enfield I think it is.

Islington ghetto? I have heard playwrights can get murdered in their sleep by jealous lovers there. Very dangerous. Don't write plays.

Just more scaremongering bollocks. I can't believe people actually fall for this stuff.
Passion, love, sex, money, violence, religion, injustice and death. More on that story later.
