Ok then tell us, what is good about the EU?

[Old_Geezer]

They allow you to hold another vote if you get the wrong result the first time.

"Ok then tell us, what is good about the EU?"

Well, gives us something to talk about at least.

[sandyRoe]

Eastern European workers, affordable domestic staff, and exotic foreign foods in the shops.

It's reduced the amount of things Cameron's been able to foul up.

[Hypognosis]

A part of IDS' speech today, about cheap labour being great for the rich, reminded me of some Sci-Fi thing, possibly Dr Who which used the word "servicers", in reference to the menial labour class (up to and including telesales, or any mass-market service industry).

That is what EU migration has given us, as IDS said "cheap plumbers, nannies, baristas…" and so forth.

Oh and I guess it is my own fault that I never studied languages to 'O'-level or higher nor have any desire to work in any other country but here?

"Ok then tell us, what is good about the EU?"
Telling you what's good about the EU is exactly the same as telling you what's bad about leaving it - i.e the goods things are those you will lose if you leave.
You call the fear-mongering.
The fact is, that people like you have made up your minds and no amount of rational argument will change them, so there's really no point.
It's like arguing with flat-earthers or JWs

"i.e the goods things are those you will lose if you leave. "

Like er...er....?

Oh I remember! The abolition of mobile roaming charges and cheap SqueezyJet flights. Well worth £19bn pa.

[Svejk]

You're forgetting straight bananas, your honour.

[Svejk]

And peace on earth.

[Kathyan]

'The fact is, that people like you have made up your minds and no amount of rational argument will change them, so there's really no point.'

That is just a get out because I don't believe you have an answer to the question, but I'm willing to listen to any answer if you do have one, even though I have made up my mind.

[whiskeryron]

Johnson wants to get a grip & speak to ''The Man In The Street'' before opening his gob.

[youngmafbog]

So, nothing good yet then?

[whiskeryron]

What is good about the EU ? It is excellent if you are French or German because you can milk the Brits ( something you failed to do in several wars over the years)

[ToraToraTora]

so non of the IN crowd can give me any sort of positive reason then? It's the same in the media, all we get is what might happen if we leave nothing positive about staying put. Even our resident anti British are struggling to come up with anything.
