That's a very good summary of the situation. Expect a call from Gordon
later in
the day.


For a variety of reasons, mainly to do with a 'former life', when I worked,
no chance...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

A Muslim state? Surely Turkey is a secular state? :-)

If there was a referendum in UK, I doubt if a majority would support UK being in
the EU, never mind anybody else joining the EU.


Precisely why there has never been a referendum?

Odd that isn't it.

Because everyone you talk to is all in favour of joining the Euro, getting
rid of passport controls to Europe and all the rest of it.


Martin was talking about internet users. You are talking about Daily
Mail readers.

Not by the time the EU have finished 'kin about.


Radical Islam in Turkey is the EU's fault? And there's me thinking
that the banana bendy-ness laws were whacky!!

Sure there was- 1975, and it got 67% support.

If there was a referendum on the euro however, it would be voted down,
and I'd be among the no voters.

Spain and Portugal are hardly newer EU states, and their support isn't
far behind the UK.


Turkey lost some of my support by charging me more for a "visa" than they
charged my wife.


I hadn't realised I'd need a visa to go, never mind pay for one. That
would put me off going.

There may not be a lot of difference.
