But by far the best leader by miles at this minuet.

Superkick what is the importation fee if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers ed. Just ordered the distiller, been looking at them anyway.
I asked because I read an article from years ago saying that because of "the pill" which woman take, it proves that it was turning male fish infertile and in some cases making them female and it was all in our water. Pretty much saying it wasnt strong enough to do that us, but make men infertile. Crazy stuff, but believable.

Kim, I was merely going off the front cover of the economist. I really was THAT bored. Putin was one in colour compared to merkel and Cameron.

Back to the point, I meant Russia positioning themselves to control Europe or at the very least have a greater say just like the Americans are trying to get involved. I must admit I am just starting to take more interest in the bigger picture so may have the wrong end of the stick entirely.

Watched all three, and as usual Richard D. Hall is very enlightening and asks all the right questions.

I'm also curious as to what this move is.

Agree with all post
And I think the FACTs
Britian was the 3rd largest economy before we joined the eu and are now 5th
France are bankrupt and police are blocking streets it's got so bad
Portugal are broke now
Same as the hostage held Greece
Most Dutch won't out of Europe
The biggest party in Germany in popularity won't the EU returned to the former ECC
Turkey will be made a eu member
We can't vote the presidents of EU in
TTIP no matter what they say is still live and will challenge you anyway
Nhs will be at risk and struggling
Cost of living will rise
And house prices will rise and rise
All good for bankers but no good at all for the people of our country
And all this and the good old remainers can only lie and tell ghost stories
If we remain we are marching to losing our democracy our loved one fought for and gave there lives for
We will lose the sovereignty and what is more our children's children
Will be taught a map in schools that has no mention of Scotland Ireland Wales and England
Is this what is wanted as a nation.

Oh yeh I'm voting out
And if there is a true democracy and people with brains and love for the fallen then most will too.

Hi guys,

I am inclined to vote out on a personal level but I really don't know an awful lot about what's really going on.

Franky, I import from these countries, if we leave the EU I'll have to pay an importation fee and although I currently have my VAT code I would need to double check how it effects orders from abroad.

Makes my margins that bit slimmer.

Does anybody have any links to a video explaining the real differences between in and out? not the stuff I see in the media. thanks guys.

Been mentioned on the "news"today that nearly 4,000 voting cards have been sent out to people who were ineligible to vote in the referendum. is this the elites way of saying . we know we are in the s### and there is no way you will vote leave, vote again. and again if need be.?

03 Jun 2016 23:14:44
Exactly franky. Who was behind Marx? Who was behind Lenin?

Politics is the new religion. And what is religion used for?

Kim if organization is a problem then the only alternative would be anarchism. Bureaucrats are intermediaries who neither produce nor design and were necessary only due to our inability to automate the processes they were charged with overseeing. Through the use of technology we can eradicate their need but the ensuing simplification would benefit the prey and not the predators we were bred to sustain.

Capitalism depends on them to act as a buffer between the classes it creates so as to perpetuate their existence. Career politicians, lawyers, bankers, accountants, tax collectors, police officers et al, are all bureaucrats benefiting through parasitic behavior.

Money is the quantification of resources and resources are the charge that enables flow towards one's chosen direction. In other words they are a way to travel along the path, not the path itself.
Freud's absolutism caused his modern downfall, as people are not as sexually suppressed as they were.

Human nature is an artificial label used to describe behaviors we have witnessed but do not condone. None of us live in nature but rather in artificial environments of our creation. Additionally, nature is comprised by an infinite number of organisms with varying behaviors and societal organizational levels.

The transference of theory to practice depends on more than the quality of the theory. 2+2=4 but have you ever tried counting money among thieves?

superkicker I assume the Germans and the Dutch buy your product not because your are in the EU but because they like your product, this is scare tactics and propaganda playing out .

03 Jun 2016 19:54:48
I hate the labels we get judged by, like I am classed as a socialist , obviously socialism means different things to different people.

I guess its a divide and conquer tactic like left and right wing which I do get caught up in .

Personalyl voting out, I believe we may start becoming more self sufficient with industry etc, something we lost due to globalisation and it being cheaper elsewhere. I believe that they want to make Europe one country, a United States of Europe if you will. Also, I don't like the look of TTIP which would get put in place without the British publics opinion.

Initially it will be a downturn in the economy, there will be if we stay as it will cause a domino effect and a slight uneasy approach towards the euro. However long term I believe we can prosper.

Cameron is using the 500 million customers argument, however other countries will want our custom and they will find a way to do so. There is also 7 billion people on earth who are just as likely to want our products. The wealthy may get hurt a little but the general public will benefit.

These are all just my opinions based on what I have read, but I am not happy with the way the country is being run, so something has to change.

Socialism though is inherently flawed. The main reason being ad you say it relies on organisation. In order to run things the system ends up creating a bureaucratic management system which creates two issues. Firstly the bureaucrats realise that they control the system and knowledge and power corrupts. Its creates a system where the bureaucrats separate from the masses and creates resource monopolization. Secondly bureaucrats in order to justify their own existence interfere in all layers of the system which eventually causes the system to break down.

Marx was a fool as he thought everything in life could be boiled down to money and resources. He knew nothing of human nature. Its like how Freud was obsessed with sex and only pursued one approach. Its a flawed model. Subsequent tinkering hasn't improved the model only worsened it. Which is why I asked which flavour. Marxism. Leninism. Stalinism. Trotskyism. Maoism. Blairism.

Great idea in theory but totally fails in practical application.

I can't answer for others but socialism for me is an economic system designed to benefit the whole of society. In such a system the beneficiary of the utilization of resources would be society itself, with increased resource availability for the utilization of those deemed by society as having benefited it the most. In doing so we would reward and thus promote characteristics which would enable the prospering of society.

A great advantage of such an economic system is that as societies have no time limitations long-term planning would be required. As long-term planning relies on organization, obfuscation would be less applicable thereby enabling most people to contribute to and participate in the commons.

A lot of the details would be decided by the political system or establishment said economic system would complement.

As the meaning of words changes with time to identify the different systems of organization and imposed forms of tyranny I categorize them according to convergence. All it means is that a comparison is made between initial subject resource availability and final availability.
The importance of convergence is best highlighted in vectors whereby the numerical value takes a secondary role to direction in the determination of the effect of their interactions.

As an example capitalism reduces the availability of resources to those with resources, by design promoting the monopolization of resources. By constricting the availability of resources it acts as a cone (think jet engine) thereby increasing friction, pressure etc.

only need to register if moved recently.

02 Jun 2016 15:04:03
If you are registered and have voted recentely'you should be OK, if you don't get a polling card soon though. make a call before its too late.

02 Jun 2016 13:40:46
I'm not personally sure but if you haven't got a card come in the post telling you your details and your nearest polling station, I imagine you need to register.
