    Of course they are imposed because of EU membership. Don't be naive.
    Also, for all of you, don't believe everything you hear or read just because it suites your beliefs. I for one couldn't care less if the UK stays or leaves in EU. You had a referendum, chose to leave, fine my me. However, some of the arguments I have been reading, including here, are just ludicrous (that list above is great for comedy purposes).
    Anyway, some say if you want the get enemies, all you have to do is speak your mind. Since I like you lot, and I don't wanna get enemies, I'll just refrain from posting further in this topic. :D

    I'm sure you won't get enemies on here; least of all, me. We all come here to talk bikes - anything else is merely a side issue:).

    Song of the Portuguese revolution - they sung it recently from the the public gallery of the parliament as well.

    Even the Spanish do not have a revolutionary song like this .........

    Portugal needs another revolution... But the Portuguese nowadays are a very different people than what they were in 1974...

    The more integrated the EU becomes the less we belong there. When you travel round Europe, each country has something in common with the others and its very hard to tell the difference between the neighbouring countries. Portugal feels like Spain, Germany feels like Austria, France feels like Belgium etc etc. We don't have that, we are unique and a position in this massive melting pot just doesn't sit right for Britain. Get us out.

    Very fond memories of working for a year in Portugal - riding my Casal 125 "cross" motorbike to work and all over the dirt roads in the Algarve - wrecked it completely :D

    I have not been back since they had the Euro, so a long time really.

    But to give you some idea - Portugal had a revolution in 1974. Britain has had a continuous Parliament for almost 1,000 years - we do not need some Brussels technocrats.

    Makes me wonder why we even bothered, should just let the Germans have France last time round, poxy Frogs have been nothing but a snivelling brunch of whingers with their heads firmly up the Germans asses ever since, and to boot you would have been able come straight out the tunnel with no speed limits all the way to the Czech Republic.

    Huh? The petition has a deadline of 17 April 2019, yet the proposed exit is March. Not making too much sense to me.:confused:

    Teresa May was a remainer. How would we know if she wasn't just getting a crap deal on purpose to engineer a second vote, to reverse the first referendum?

    It was a once in a generation referendum. If they want another vote, they'll have to wait until I'm dead.

    However at the next general election the political party that campaigns to rejoin the EU (lib dems, or maybe labour too), will win. It'll be like having a second referendum.

    I do not doubt that we will be back in the EU within the next five years.

    I voted to leave, if we end up back in, am i bothered? Not really, that's democracy.

    No matter whether the comments on some of these news feeds are accurate or not, the thing that keeps coming out EU leaders and EU burocrats mouths is ‘The Project’, and that sums it up, European citizens are being led blindly on a social engineering project, to turn 28 sovereign states into one super state controlled by the political and unelected elite, and its all going to end in tears, as we have already seen a one size fits all approach does not work with such diverse cultures and economic models, they can only bribe the weaker states for so long before payback time becomes very painful, just ask Greece that one.
