the EU

So .... the tories want to steal back our employment and consumer rights, while the still-unregulated bankers keep stealing the money.

There's problems with the EU both big and small, but none of those problems are the hard-fought-for employment rights or consumer laws. In the more unregulated world that the tories dream of, you'll get horse in every burger and not just some of them.

The problems of the EU are mostly the lack of democracy and the common agricultural policy, and little else. Wait and see how these are absent from Dave Moron speech in a few minutes.

It's a return to Victorian values.

We are not learning, 1939 returning.

thanks for the commentary, i'm not listening to the speech.

he thing that worries me is that most people will fall for this, if he gets his referendum, the people will vote to leave.

yep, that's exactly what will happen - because the electorate are stupid. They will only see what they are told has been taken from them, and not what Dave Moron wants to take from them.

he's now saying that a an EU without Britain is a waste of time ... funny, it worked quite happily for over 20 years without Britain. He even claimed that Britain invented the single market.

And he says that the interests of everyone are met by taking away the rights of everyone to not be fucked over by c**ts like him.

1939 returning.

and the first set-up question is given to his mates at Sky.

Yeah, Dave's not been corrupted by Murdoch, oh no. It's just coincidence that Murdoch and his top employees are the bessie mates of Dave, and nothing of thios speech is what Murdoch has campigned for for decades.

This is laughable, if you pay attention to the news. If you don't, then no doubt you're cheering him on.

It's a really odd speech to make. I'm a Tory and have a certain amount of cynicism about Europe, but in reality you have to make compromises. The 'powers' we're giving(!) to Europe is a small price for a seat at the table to influence (not dictate)foreign policy.

If we have a referendum, it's a scary thought for the economy if we do leave. I'm worried the public will give a no vote, as there a lot of ill feeling towards the EU.

Maybe he's being really cunning - if he thinks he's stuffed at the next election, then he's promising this to scupper keep his place as leader and bugger labour up in the next term when they don't have the referendum, making Europe a pain in Miliband's arse.

There's a lot of ill-feeling towards the EU, yep - but he didn't address anything of what causes that ill-feeling, instead setting the debate around the things which best suit his city mates.

The democracy that would give the British people a say in the EU is not any part of his plans, and nor is addressing the common agrigultural policy, cos his landowning mates won't like that.

Instead we get Little Britianism for the benefit of his mates, and nothing for the benefit of the British people.

I don't think theres the will or strength on the pro-Europe side to defeat this. Insane a concept as it appears to me sitting on the outside I think yis already have one foot out the door and have done for ages.

There will be ramifications for this in Ireland most certainly. No love for the EU over here at present. Populist chancers might sieze this moment aswell.

Will there be a knock on effect in Scotland for this though? Could it lend the debate there an extra facet?
