Invoke Article 50 of The Lisbon Treaty immediately.

It's time to move forward, the people has spoken we don't want to go through a second referendum.

Below is an official petition.

The British people have spoken. We have voted to leave the EU. We want article 50 of the Lisbon treaty to be invoked immediately. We still have two years to discuss our exit from the EU, but we do not wish to delay it any further.

Leave or Stay - We are Still Broken



The recent EU Referendum debates have been nothing but mud slinging, with each one it seems to be a battle on who can dish out the most dirt.

There are pros and cons for both sides, however there should have been 2 campaign camps, both camps should have outlined their cases for each of the issues. We have heard so many mixed messages from campaigners because of lack of planning and those who want to jump on the referendum band wagon or those who didn't want to join the official camps.

It's funny but all the British people wanted was hard facts so that they can make a decision on how to vote.

So why didn't we get the information, it's a good question which I don't think I or anyone else can answer.  What is very obvious is that the parties especially the conservatives are at loggerheads with each other. 

So what happens after the election, can they really all play nicely after that.







The referendum has divided the UK whether we stay or leave, as voters, can we actually trust the MPs, personally I only trust those who act on their words, so that leaves me with 1 or 2 MPs I can trust.

I really hope that once this is all over we can all carry on with our lives in the same way we did before the Referendum, yes over the next few years if we voted to leave we would probably have to deal with some changes but if we have voted to stay then it's business as usual but there will be lots of fences to mend.

In or Out of the EU - Do your own research


Well I must admit I am slightly disappointed in the recent debates and press articles, in that it all seems like mud slinging and having a go at each other season.

The bottom line is that nothing will change if we stay in the EU, however there will be changes if we leave.  What I and other people would like to know is what are the changes if we stay, the government, i.e the PM and the Chancellor should be prepared to give us some straight and honest answers on the basis if we leave what are the things we have to look at to survive.

At this moment in time, we all know what the EU brings us but it would be nice to know what the Remain campaigners have in mind to build our country back to what it was if we leave the EU, surely there is a contingency plan.

Today all I've heard is that the Chancellor is now holding us to ransom if we don't vote to stay in the EU.  Apparently there will be rises all types of taxes, there will be cuts in Pensions, NHS and Defence, all of the financial decisions is up to the Government, whether we stay in the EU or not, every year there a two budgets, Spring and Autumn.  All the Chancellor and PM are doing is pushing the voters in the other directions with their threats, it certainly made me angry, I like to look at all the facts and make my own mind up, I hate being threatened.

There is not a country in or outside the EU who will not trade with the UK, we import more than we export and most of the UK is service driven.

I still believe there are arguments on both sides which benefit the UK, travelling, importing/exporting, sharing intelligence these are easier if we stay in the EU, but all said we will still be doing these things even if we quit the EU.

Stop listening to the campaigners and do your own research, BBC have a page which is called the Reality Check, it's pretty much impartial and will answers some of the questions which have been slipping through the net.

In or Out


IN OR OUT?

IT'S NEARLY TIME TO DECIDE

So have you decided yet, are you going to vote?

There have been lots of  different opinions on whether we should stay or go, most of which are scaremongering information which does nothing apart from confuse the voters.

So here's the thing I'm a mother of a 16 year old, I was 11 years old at the time of the last vote on whether we should join the EU.  Since joining the EU the UK has changed in many ways: this is just my observations:

  • The population has increased by more than 10 million plus
  • It now takes longer to see a doctor
  • The waiting lists for operations is longer
  • It's difficult to get a NHS dentist
  • The classrooms in schools are larger, the teachers cannot give enough to to students
  • Easier for illegals to enter the UK
  • Increase in traffic
  • Not enough housing
  • It's easier to travel around Europe no border checks once to get to main land Europe
  • One currency in Europe
  • Easier to obtain skills which are lacking in the UK
  • Trading with European countries is easier, no customs etc
The way that I will be voting is by asking my 16 year old I will vote according to what my 16 year old thinks after weighing up all the facts from both sides, after all it will be that generation who will have to live with the outcome.  

My personal views is that although it maybe difficult for the first year or two, but it will be worth the government and the people getting control back of the UK, it's time for the UK to stop being dictated to by the EU.

For or Against Leaving the EU

So the question is should we remain in the EU?

In 1973  Britain joined the EU Community, (not the EU Union)The Single European Act was signed. This was to create an internal market; “an area without frontiers in which the free movement of goods and persons, services and capital is ensured. 

What was the EU Community -  The European Communities (EC), sometimes referred to as the European Community, were three international organisations that were governed by the same set of institutions. These were the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC or Euratom), and the European Economic Community (EEC); the latter of which was renamed the European Community (EC) in 1993 by the  Maastricht Treaty, which formed the European Union.

The formation of the European Union meant that laws and legislation for it's members could be made without consulting local companies or public.

So here is how the normal person may look at the EU Referendum

Remaining in the EU has it's advantages, here just a few important points to consider:

  • it's easier to trade with other countries in the EU, 
  • easier to source skilled employees, 
  • easier travel to other EU countries.


However there are also disadvantages for staying in the EU, again here are a few important ones

  • easier for illegal immigrants to enter the country, due to easier boarder controls from the EU
  • EU citizens settling in the UK due to better employment opportunities, taking jobs away from the British people
  • Overcrowding in schools effecting education, 
  • NHS meltdown, as the system wasn't meant to handle the size of today's population let alone the next 10 years

Other questions:

What about benefits, how long will they last, can Britain sustain a grow population if we stay in the EU?

What is the prognosis for government pensions, people are living longer?

Will we get any help from the EU if we take in more immigrants?

There are more questions but one thing is for sure, if you listen to the politicians and the campaigners you will end up being more confused.

Very simple facts for and against is what the normal person needs.
