EU membership requires a state to be a signatory to the ECHR, in that way the EU ties your hands on the matter. The fact that they're separate entities is not the point in the debate on EU membership.

God there's some bitter fuckers about. Democracy is a bitch ain't it.... all very progressive and modern, right up until the point a majority express that freedom in a way you don't like! Gutter Eh! "But but they're Stupid! They don't deserve freedom! They should do as we say for the best!"

I respect your opinion matey, but don't necessarily agree with it, though I imagine many of my countrymen would. I think that the conservation models employed by your fine nation and the likes of the southern African nations etc which are based partly on trophy hunting are fantastic and have been very positive for the hunted animal populations and more generally the environment. That said there is something suspect about folks that only value the physical trophy. Me, I'm a hunter deep in my dna, I hunt to forfill that instinct. Some of the greatest hunts can be for the most mundane of trop

Supply and demand. Am I wrong in saying the demand for milk does not meet the supply in this country? Farmers working at a loss does nothing to balance this. Voting for subsidies to support an industry that the market says should be reduced due to lack of demand is damaging, it devalues every producer and costs the tax payer. I'd gladly pay double or triple for milk, but that won't happen in a free market while farmers cling to an industry that simply doesn't have the demand for the product I'm afraid. I'll support legislation that keeps cattle welfare high and as such the industry as it i

Add to that North Sea tax revenues are sweet FA now, that's a huge chunk of an indy' Scottish economy gone! The whole deal for an indy argument looks total gash if the Scots did manage to get another referendum. With that in mind economically the value of Scotland to the Union is much less. I don't want to lose them though, they have great value just not as much as before. Whatever, the UK has chosen it's future, if the Scots want to choose there's let them. I'm in love with the Welsh right now! LOL

What New Laws Would Hunting Life Members Bring In Now Weve Left.

We should be chopping laws not making more! -

No I haven't! Fecking nerds!!! LOL LOL

I was on the way to the gym when I nipped in to vote, mind went blank when asked where I live, lol. It's not like I haven't done it all several times before but I think I just get caught up in the anticipation of change and moment. I came out feeling absolutely pumped! Crossed the f**k out of LEAVE, lol, got my money's worth! This is what it's all about for me, why I'm so passionately certain. It's about my vote having the biggest impact possible. Keeping our democratic system as accountable and functional as possible for the British people.

LOL, I'm probably gonna get flack for this but does anyone else get a buzz when voting? It's just one of those 'greater than me' things that really is a pleasure to be a part of....... even if I do think the whole democracy thing is totally f****d. Ha! Maybe it's because I've only voted in a handful of elections, it's still novel?

I believe that poll was carried out this morning before the official polling started so i can't see it being to accurate . No mate, that's my guess! LOL

This referendum doesn't have anything to do with the ECHR. We'll still be signed up to it even after Brexit. It's entirely seperate to the EU. After reading the comments of a former MI6 Director that suggested otherwise I had a quick google into this myself. Although you are correct that the ECHR is a separate entity, being a signatory to it is a condition for EU membership. Furthermore I believe that the EU itself is now able to sign up to the ECHR as though it was a nation state, whereas before it couldn't because it was not considered such. Edited: just realised how old this thr

North Korea Says Missiles Can Hit Us Bases.
Born Hunter replied to DogFox123's topic in General Talk
It's all very well having a nuclear weapon and a delivery system capable of a strike but there's a vast difference between being able and being a genuine threat. The US missile defence system would in all probability swat it like a fly. He'll have then succeeded in pissing off the most powerful and capable military force this planet has ever seen. As usual, it's just ridiculous. -
Predictions? 55/45 for Remain with probably over 75% turnout imo. Hope I'm miles out......

Unfortunately a significant number within my peer group seem to be remainers. The EU really have a strangle on science and research issues. I have a bit of a reputation for 'passionate debate' and non liberal views, lol, so not many openly challenge my views which don't help. I'm in an odd position of allegedly living in the most eurosceptic region of the UK but belong to one of the most europhile demographics.

Fair play mate, there's money to be made from that kind of graft and drive. I've been in my house for nearly four years and only really just started properly decorating! LOL. I f***ing hate working on the house.

Whatever they're called, it's outrageous that citizens are being socially punished when not found guilty of a damn thing by our judicial system! What sort of society does that breed? A safe one?........ bollocks!

Many folks are going to be voting in because they see the EU as politically better than a Conservative government. I'd call those people traitors. Hate the Torys, vote remain, that's fine but vote remain with the intention of undermining the British democratic system because you don't like the result of it is literally using foreign power to subvert the will of your country! It's treason. Yep, we need to take hold of this country again and sort it out from the inside. Tbh most folk who hate the Tories around my area are voting out just like I am. Exactly, great. Just so I'm c

Well that's the point wilf they ain't never going to change back under remain. so what options does that leave nearly half the country who arnt happy about being in EU? ...there's only ukip ... if its as close as the polls predict then politically we're in for a bumpy ride whatever the result on Thursday . Well, I've found myself looking at New Zealand quite a bit recently. Not in a dramatic way, but just looking. Something like 6% of our population, belting country and climate, hugely pro hunting, anti authority, no nonsense, drive on the left and you can own an AR-15! LOL

Along those lines, I think we have to look to the US currently and learn something from them. The likes of Trump is considered to be a bit of a radical and he has only found success from within the established system (the Republican party). IMO he totally failed in his previous attempt as the Reform Party nominee due to it being a minority party out of the established system (Rep's & Dem's). It'd be a nigh impossible task to topple the two party system from the outside, as UKIP and the Lib Dems etc have tried. The SNP succeeded in Scotland but I think that's a different matter. IMO cha

Before 2004, net EU migration to the UK averaged around 10,000 a year. 2004 saw the enlargement of the EU, with 10 countries joining: Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. As a result, net migration grew to around 100,000 per year. From 2009, the economic crisis affecting many EU states such as Ireland, Spain, Italy and Greece has led many to seek jobs abroad. In 2014, Bulgaria and Romanian citizens also gained the right to work in the UK. These factors pushed net migration to 185,000 in 2015, the highest recorded level. htt

I know you're passionate max and fond of facts, but you do realise that Romania are a member state of the EU don't you? LOL, but you are absolutely right and they constitute 175'000 of the nearly 3'000'000 EU (non-UK) nationals living in the UK!

LOL, Independence Day: Resurgence comes out the day of the referendum result! It's an omen I tell ya!
