NEARLY half of British voters want the country to quit the European Union, a shock opinion poll revealed last night. A YouGov survey found that 47 per cent of adults would vote in favour of the UK withdrawing from the EU if a referendum on the issue were held. Only a third of those quizzed for the poll said they would vote for Britain to remain within the 27-nation group.
Last night, Eurosceptics seized on the poll as evidence of growing disenchantment with Britain’s EU membership. Paul Nuttall, chairman of the UK Independence Party, said: “These poll results just tell us what anybody with eyes to see or ears to hear has known for ages, the people want out of the EU. Britain needs a referendum on continued EU membership, not some makeweight promise from the Government. The fact that in every part of the country there is a majority for leaving says it all.”
The YouGov poll showed that a majority of voters aged over 40 want Britain to quit the EU.
- 52% of voters aged between 40 and 59 backed withdrawal, and among the over-60s the figure rose to 57%.
- 63% of Tory voters wanted Britain to quit the EU, with 37% of Labour voters in favour of the move.
- 33% of the Lib Dem supporters quizzed said they would vote against EU membership in a referendum.
The poll result was published last night as ministers released details of a proposed new “referendum lock” law which is designed to stop any further power being handed over to Brussels. The aim is to prevent a repeat of the Lisbon Treaty fiasco which saw Gordon Brown give the EU sweeping powers to meddle in UK affairs but last night Euro-sceptics critics were quick to brand the measure “worthless”. Senior Tory backbencher Douglas Carswell said: “This ‘lock’ is worthless and ministers must know it, under the Lisbon Treaty the EU doesn’t need any more treaties to give itself more powers.”

A "shock opinion poll", they say....... what fucking planet are they on?!!!!
People all over Europe want out of the EUSSR and the only ones who refuse to see that are fucking politicians - there are none so blind as those who will not see, and these self-serving cunts are blind a bats! According to this poll a full two thirds of us want out of this New World Order experimental club for the ruling elite and these fuckers know that very well - that's why we have not been given our referendum and the "referendum lock" that they are trying to buy us off with now is pure fucking bollocks, piss and wind! Douglas Carswell has said what we already know that the so-called "lock" is worthless as the Lisbon Treaty is self-amending and that ministers know it.
Well here's a bit of news for those ministers - we know it too, you fucking cunts, even though you seem to think we are all thick and easily hoodwinked!
Fuck the fucking fuck off and give us our referendum, you useless twats!
CUNTS!
As eloquent as ever BS
ReplyDeleteTime to declare UDI methinks .. and take our country back
ReplyDeleteSuccinct as ever Spidey.
ReplyDeleteIf 47% of people would like to get out of the EU then we are even less likely to get a referendum out of the governing class. If one were to be announced the debates that would follow would open a lot of people's eyes to precisely what a shower of shite the EU really is. This would probably lead to a clear majority for telling the EUSSR commissioners - and the treacherous quislings in Whitehall - to go and fuck themselves. Ergo - we ain't gonna get one.
Because the British seem able to absorb any amount of punishment (taxation, local gubmint tax, fuckwit bureaucrats chucking their fat selves about, bully-boy gestapo/police, immigration, let's-not-offend-the-dear-peaceloving-muslims etc.etfuckingc.) I suspect that fuck all will hapopen on these shores.
Because they're a bit more excitable sur le continong we may well see some shifting of attitude there. Even the Germans will baulk a bit at being expected to bale out two-faced frenchies, corrupt italians, tearful greeks who have been ripped heartlessly from the EU tit, tired spanish who don't even start work until 5 pm, and puzzled overfed belgians whose country is proving to be a splendid example of the EU in microcosm.
Think I'd better shut up now...
But HONESTLY
Spidey, this figure of 47% is massaged and manipulated to hide the fact that in a secret ballot this would be more like 70%. Money on it.
ReplyDeleteCaratacus, so unlike your language at my place!!

ReplyDelete<p><span>Apologies OR – but we <span>are</span> talking about Yurp!</span>

47% still leaves 53% undecided/the opposite. That's the problem with democracy BS. 51% will always maintain control over the 49%.
ReplyDeleteSpidey isn't YouGov married to that twat Euro foreign minster Lady Pishflaps of Nowhere in Cuntland? In which case that 47% /53% malarky has been parked out here to fuck us up. O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) Just saying, that's all. Which means that IF there ever was a real referendum 99.999% of us would be offski pronto. The break for the border would be on. Cue wailing sirens as the Minsitry of Truth unleashes it's Zomo. Bring it on =-O =-O :-P :-P 8-) ;) . I remember that one of the great benefits of the EU always Trotted out by its apologists was that the machine guns firing had stopped West of the Elbe after 1945. Fair enough point. But the Trotts never let it slip that they were just preparing the place for their cummunitarian mates on the other side of the world to come over in their gazzillions and take charge. As usual with Trots they never think it through. All they are doing is pissing off Europeans to such a degree that we will have a European wide movement to remove the uninvited quite soon. Eurocrats included. Smooth. =-X
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the true figure, though, H, as I said to INCOMING!!!!!!!, (above), the actual numbers are 80% who want to get out as opposed to 20% who want to stay in but that's the democracy we have not been allowed to exercise as it would be disadvantageous for our shower of politicians. ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, OR, but I do believe you may even have been a bit conservative with your estimate. :-P :-P :-P
ReplyDeleteQuite right, Caractus, we need less stiff upper lips more stiff dicks to get anything done around here. The Germans have already been "secretly", (yeah, right), printing Deutschmarks in readiness for when the Euro disappears up its own arsehole, which is gradually happening as the PIIGs go belly-up one by one! :-P
ReplyDeleteThe German people have had enough and want out but what would really help is if the Frogs kicked off in their usual manner every time they're not happy! ;) :-D Not likely, though, as the EU is seriously rigged in their favour! :(
And with a guaranteed 80% Get The Fuck Out vote in any referendum, as you say - we won't be getting our referendum any time soon and - if we do get one it will be rigged to fuck like the second Irish one, when they didn't get the "correct" answer the first time round! >:o >:o >:o
Thanks, MT. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe will have to put the fear of god into our politicians first, CH, bring on the revolution! :-P :-P :-P
ReplyDeleteTruth to tell Spidey .. one could absolutely terrify the current bunch in Westminster by running around with an inflated pig's bladder on a stick & shouting loudly .. they haven't a backbone between them ..
ReplyDeleteAll it will take is someone or something to provide the necessary catalyst ..
Give 'em enough rope etc etc ....
That's it in a fucking nutshell, Banned! ;)
ReplyDeleteHere's a screenshot of what I see, mate - the Apture share/search option is just a narrow strip at the top. Maybe it's something to do with your browser/system. Just click the pic to enlarge and you'll see what I mean. Also, if you want to hide the Apture bar there are a couple of arrows to the left of the little Spidey logo - just click on those and the bar will retract. ;)
Aw, shucks, SR, you say the nicest things. ;)
ReplyDeleteI do hope so, CH. :-P ;)
ReplyDeleteWith the military safely tucked up abroad & the Old Bill set to be cut back to the bone, the peasants revolting etc ..
ReplyDeleteIf I were an MP, I'd be getting more than a little afraid .. ;)
We'd still have to take out the rotten-to-the-core TSG, mate - at least if the army were back at home they might even help us to do it! ;)
ReplyDeleteTa for your trouble, it's behaving better today, dunno why :-D .
ReplyDeleteUDI, now there's an interesting concept, ripe for revival.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, mate. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe government would have to be told in no uncertain terms - they would never do it of their own free will. ;)
