You should say what you think Kim Philby, we brits have thick skin, as for been an outsider you're no more an outsider to Britain than the people who have lived here all there lives.
Read discussionSometimes an outsider can view a situation with a broader lens that others closer to the subject cannot.

I spent 10 minutes writing out why I think what will happen but I deleted it as I think it would not be popular. Certainly would be uncomfortable reading. And who am I but an outsider anyway. This isn't my country after all.

All i'm sayin is why can't uk stand alone, who needs wars, why should we be involved in wars. We don't need europe, and we certainly don't need. to be involved over some ego trip and be part of this world leaders union

Mr Anonymous, your country stands on the edge of a defining choice for your future. Your already punching above your weight and have been for decades. Can you continue to stand alone? Sooner or later you will be pulled into one of the larger power blocs either the United States of Europe or the United States of America after it subsumes Canada and Mexico.
Europe makes sense from a geographical and even political point of view but the complications make it tricky. America makes sense culturally as you have more in common (language, culture, religion) but again complications make it tricky.
But the question is would you just be an outpost at the edge of a great empire or would you become an integral part? To Brussels I get the feeling your just a barely tolerated cash cow. But what would you be to the Americans?
George Orwell's vision of the future world divided into great power blocs is slowly coming true. With a possible future Russian-Chinese link up being one possibility or even both separate, Europe could work or collapse into the new Soviet empire, and then we have America. But where does Britain stand?

I have seen one of ukip politicians in the the European parliament and judging by his pic he is in the right party.

Ukip all the way. have you seen this guy in european parliament, this is the only politician for a long time sticking up for our country and cultures. seems to me that a lot of people aren't trusting anyone on this site, like everything seems not as it should be. I believe there is a hidden system screwing us over but c'mon guys who else do you see taking our country from the evil of europe?
Read discussionAnd You will have your own lovely politicians with your own interests at heart roddy. Good luck with that.

They were Tories? so that means that they do not have Tories values now? the only thing that Tories and ukip disagree with is Europe, herbie our identity went when we sold up and privatized everything in the late 70s onward s , let's be clear ukip will not have a sniff at being elected thankfully and even if they did they would still try to sell the nhs and tax us all like there counterparts.
Read discussionOops miswrote that. Meant to put he left to work with Speroni in 93.
Read discussionYes they were tories in the early 90's.
Farage left in 1992 because Major signed the Treaty on EU, something Farage was and still is very much against, Speroni left in 1993 that's over 20 years ago Franky, I can't see this been a "diversionary tactic".
All politicians are currupt in so many ways but if UKIP want to get Britain out of of the EU and give us our identity back then call me a fool but I'm all for that.

The one thing I don't understand is that UKIP are more likely to get votes from anti euro tory voters so in terms of the general election would this not work against Cameron as he would be losing votes and maybe even seats which would cost him the election.
Or is there some sort of deal in the pipeline? I think it was Ed Balls in the last election who only retained his seat by a 100 votes and UKIP had taken off the tories a similar number of votes.
I can see the point in setting up a patsy party to try and influence the debate. Its like that film I watched the over but on a bigger scale. But not one that could harm your own electoral chances. I think in the next 12 months there will be some sort of deal between Cameron and Farage to stop UKIP from taking votes from the tories.

I've seen this mentioned so many times with so many interviews with the American personnel. They're always consistent. Makes me think one of two things; they're so well documented, as you'd expect service personnel to be, that they're totally genuine, or that they're so well documented, that they're scripted. I can't think of a single reason why they'd want to script this for this kind of base in the UK though tbh.
