I'm all for helping out fellow man and colour/ race/ religion doesn't really matter to me but you can't bankrupt yourself trying to save everyone when they don't always seem to be helping themselves.
Also if the people in control of the EU were focused on that rather than trying to tell everyone what they should do the world would be a better place.

At what point was our contribution to the EU bankrupting the UK?
Compare the UK's financial contribution to the EU in 2015 at £8.5 Billion net (after what we get back) against the loss to UK companies following the 'out' decision of over £120 Billion, and the biggest drop in Sterling in over 30 years? Which was the biggest impact on the UK's economy? Clue: not the UK's payment to the EU.
What real examples do you have of the EU telling everyone what to do??? :doh:

And?
Just because it cost us heavy in the short term, doesn't mean it's not the right decision long term.
Would you honestly want the UK to join the EU now if we had never been a member? :thinking:

I didnt say the EU was bankrupting us, I said the idea of giving our money away to every country in need so we could all be equal would probably bankrupt us.
Real example? How about the fact that it took 8 YEARS to deport that maniac Abu Hamza, and he cost us £25million while he was here.
We had to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait until eventually the judges in Strasbourg let us deport someone from our own country. And they were reluctant to do it.

Also a huge amount of the initial losses have been regained with the FTSE 100 coming back real strong, the FTSE 250 is slow but getting there and the Pound is stabilising.
It was always going to cause disruption but this is a LONG term decision. People seem to be so caught up in what the next 3 months is going to be like instead of the next 3 decades. We as a country have recovered from far worse only to come back bigger and stronger. But the EU is something even we would have been swallowed up by eventually.

Germany sold the UK over £100 billion worth of product last year.
Biese, chief political analyst reports thousands of jobs could be on the line in Germany, if Merkel pursues a policy of punishment towards the UK.
