The silliness of EU opponents in the UK

I am reading two UK right wing news web sites (The UFO hunting Daily Express and The Telegraph) that are opponents of the EU project that has been ongoing in Europe since World War two. But the whole purpose of the European Union is to prevent wars in Europe. But this is history that all people should know. But it is clear that EU opponents do not know the history of why the EU exist. Somebody should tell them once for a change.

Here is the good case of how EU opponents are silly. The crazy people at the news paper called Daily Express want UK out of the EU. But far as I can tell they make no good argument for why UK should leave the EU. But if Daily Express is success in this matter and get a referendum on this issue in the UK. I just hope that they enjoy the customs (on all UK import and export) and all the paperwork that follows for the UK citizens that live in other countries in Europe. Issues like working permit, permit to stay in the country that they are moving or working in. The downturn that follows that would also be interesting to watch, as the economics would fall due to all the problems doing business with the UK following if they withdraw from the EU single market. But I am sure that they people at Daily Express did not think about this issues, as they don’t seem to think at all. It is also that UK opted to stay in the EU in the year 1976 when there was a referendum on this matter in the UK. But this people don’t care about such matters, as they don’t know any history at all.

GET BRITAIN OUT OF THE EU NOW (Warning, Daily Express)

The other person that I want to speak about and that also want UK out of the EU is a guy named Norman Tebbit. He opposes EU because if has forbidden a discrimination against women in the car insurance business.

To quote Norman Tebbit.

[…]

The European Court has now ruled that when insurers are setting premiums they must not take into account that women drivers generally make fewer claims than men, or that men generally do not live as long as women. Facts, the court concluded, should not be allowed to interfere with its quasi-religious belief that men and women must be given the same treatment even when that would be inequitable.

[…]

This are his own words and what a words they are. I am not sure what century what this man lives in, but I am sure that is not the 21st century. But this doesn’t stop there for Norman Tebbit.

[…]

If we were a free and independent country, we could put right such a piece of silliness with a short Bill and have it through Parliament in no time at all. Nothing so underlines the position in which we now find ourselves as the fact that we are unable to do so. Instead we just have to put up with listening to Baroness Ashton, a member of an unelected government which we cannot sack, lecturing the Libyans about the vitues of having a free and democratic government.

[…]

So if they UK where not in the EU he would eliminate women equal rights and other such things. It is also interesting to see the claim that the UK is not a free country. When on earth did that happen ? What is going on there is a man how is a extremist conservative. How sees nothing wrong with putting the population of the UK (and everywhere else) worse off if it fits his own world view.

The rest of the silly opinion of Norman Tebbit here, If we were really a free country we’d be able to put right the EU’s latest silliness (The Telegraph)

By the way, Margaret Thatcher was a rubbish politician that had rubbish politics when she was running the government in the UK. I suspect that Norman Tebbit is a rubbish politician given the nonsense that is coming from him.

But it is also my opinion that EU opponents generally don’t care about nothing but making profit to put into there own pockets.
