    I'm so proud that over a third of this country voted No and I just may include Donegal for a place to settle down in! haha

    It showed me that despite the scare mongering and continual false but alluring promises re. new job creation there is still some spirit left in this country and a few like myself who don't swallow everything we hear/read from politicans and posters.

    Thanks folks, you make it even more worth sticking around in this country. :) And I'll be remembering these people when I see the likes of Pat Cox in his new role as EU Commissioner and Tony Blair as the new President of the EU, and when as I witness FF staying in Government until 2012.

    Yep, my own dear county voted No, No, No to the Abortion Referenda in the mid 90's.

    Yep, that means No to the right to travel and No to the right for information.

    One third of the electorate, considering the weeks you been posting here you'd think you'd have noticed this distinction.

    They aren't facts if they don't agree with their crazy points, didn't you know!?

    Over 24 hours later and the bitter lunatics on the No side haven't copped on and are actually behaving worse. Although, they are the people who claimed Yes willl euthanise our elderly and abort our kids, so there's no telling how low they can really go.

    It also ends cross border shopping. Sterling is now outlawed and the Euro Army will be on the checkpoints.

    Sarcasm doesn't make you correct, clearly we don't all believe in the €1.84 wage and all those stupid scare monger tactics but the yes side have been duped even worse by scare mongers who had a more subtle way of pulling the wool over your eyes, cant wait to come back in 5 years and say i told you so :rolleyes:

    Indeed, with our significantly lower labour costs, the costs of the finished goods made within the EU should now plummet so we'd better keep those anti-EU heathens in the UK off our super cheap stuff.

    Actually, perhaps we should propose to our Lizard Overlords that the USE will benefit from cutting muff, Co. Donegal, off the union and out to sea?

    Are those who claimed Nice would bring in abortion and conscription back to tell us so yet...?

    Also, sorry to tell you, but in the new USE the only good USE-skeptic is a dead USE-skeptic.
