Keep it up, UKIP, you're doing wonders for EU support - https://www.ipsos-mori.com/research...23-years-even-as-UKIP-rises-in-the-polls.aspx
No reason not to have a referendum then is there? Can we have one over here as well, please Enda?
I'd have one tomorrow if it was up to me. (You do know it's not up to me, don't you?) The sooner political discourse moves to something else, the better. But will you and your brethren accept a "yes" vote or will you carry on whining?
Presumably a referendum would be open to anyone legally resident in the UK, which would include 3 million immigrants from the EU - that's a whole load of votes in the yes box right there. In your words - chortle!
Bring it on.
A no vote sounds like a very expensive business too - I wonder which mugs will have to stump up for changing the passport system, rewriting all legislation, redoing all our borders points etc... Most fun of all, presumably we'll need a hard border between Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. Some sort of wall, perhaps. That'll go down well.
Bring it on.
Europe demands another 1.7 billion pounds because the economy's doing so well...

Actually its because the economy did so well since 1995. I suppose if it wereent for Gideons appalling mismanagement we'd have had to pay even more.
D-Cam - I'm angry at the sudden presentation of a €2bn bill to the UK by the EU. It's an appalling way to behave and I won't be paying it on Dec 1st
Can I use that line if HMRC demand money from me to be paid in a short period time?
