I just don't trust our government to operate without the policing of the EU.

So I'll probably vote in.

Welcome to the forum!

Human Rights, its that kind of crap that is ruining the country. It takes forever to get rid of unwelcome guests...How long and hows much did it cost use to deport 'The Hook' due to him using Human Rights from Europe?
We can still have our own rights just with no one else having a say in it

The European Court of Human Rights is not an EU institution. It's part of the Council of Europe. You want to leave that too?

Who can blame you - dodgy Dave and his crew are not to be trusted but there will be many Governments during your lifetime and perhaps one of them will have policies you want to vote for. The EU Commission is for life and you will never have the option to vote on their directives.

One quick example of the EU abuse of Africa's environment and human rights; the CAP adds Euro 1000 to the annual EU family food bill, creates surpluses which are disposed of (dumped) using EU subsidies in Africa at prices rendering African agriculture unviable causing poverty, instability, animal poaching and mass migrations to Europe where the EU border force greets them with tear gas and battons.

Your choice but I hope even for their and Africa's sakes you vote leave.

An interesting view point from TV tonight.
Neil Kinnock was rejected by the UK voters twice but then went off to the EU and took on powers that over-ride the UK parliament.
(he is not unique in this regard).

I can't see how you square that with the election of a new government each and every 5 years Vs the "quangos" of the Commissioners of the E Commission.

As it happens, I do think that governments should not have an automatic right to a full 5 year term and they got away with a "fast one" when that was brought into being - but it is a matter for the UK parliament to sort out that one.

here by the way, with your first post; new blood is welcome!!

Some how I can not see Winston Churchill wanting to spend millions of pounds keeping these people in the country. Feeding, Clothing, housing, health, then plotting against us, oh and then spend millions more fighting to stay in the country they don't like because its cushy.
So if it means pulling out then Yeah.
At the end of the day if they don't like it they can always leave..or not come in the first place

Where is the EU heading?
With respect to where the EU has come from and where it is intending to go over the next few years (a policy of "ever closer union" and 4-5 new member nations).

Finally someone has made me consider voting to stay. If the Trump reccomends Brexit I'm thinking about doing the opposite.

For anyone who has been following these cases over the past 3 months, it was announced today that at least 7 police forces in the UK have started criminal investigations.
http://www.electionexpenses.co.uk/

Criminal prosecutions of sitting conservative MPs could follow + by-election re-runs of any affected seats.
The current government majority is 12.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
