Hedda I think the EU is the only thing keeping Britain relatively sane.
JK2006The reason I support the EU, Patt, is not because I like it or consider it faultless; it's a mess but it is inevitable and the only way to go. Just like the Internet - some ghastly aspects and some great ones but it is inevitable.
I agree with both. As to many policies of justice, unemployment, funding, housing ,jobs, urbanisation and movement of people within the EU, these policies should be EU wide decisions and directions. For EU citizens some cities and countries will be more attractive at times than others. So an acceptance is also needed.
The UK should should be 100% involved with a “can do” attitude. Justice for all. Social concern and economic success for all. This in or out and protecting the UK interests is actually destroying the UK more than succeeding. I see the Conservatives want to work towards “1984” type control with taking recourse away from the European Courts for example. And MT's belief in private enterprise as god's gift to mankind was totally flawed (Private enterprise is what history is all about wars, pirates and Britain's 1800's expansion by walking over many people). Freedom to be creative and have businesses and enterprise - great and a must. But it is accountability, control, openness and a full range of measures that bring positive change for all. Immigration I note is high in the minds of some on this site and quite right. If and when the EU gets better then the influx will increase as individuals from all over want a better life.
I suggest with all EU states working together they could do all reasonable steps to improve countries outside the UK so people do not want to move here. Maybe have Island states and blocks of land outside the EU where immigrants seeking entry into the EU not within the permitted criteria and thus have a humane place to house and look after, plus a step back into their original country or join the new state. (Just ideas to looking outward) An acknowledgement by the UK that the UK was a one of the main countries for doing much to expand into the world in the first place. With take, take and take again policies. Then moan when these same people come to our shores wanting a bit in return. Basically good organisation and dialogue and much could be done that would benefit all. Win win. This is brief and I will say no more in this post.
