Queries about the EU referendum

GransnetAdmin do you think there might be a chance to get someone knowledgable but none political to answer our questions? That way Gransnetters could be the most knowledgeable people voting

What's happened to whitewave's thread? She put a lot of effort into finding out as much information as possible about the EU!

Gracesgran. I think that you would have to email them. It is unlikely that they are going to see your request on here.

Here is Whitewave's EU thread. www.gransnet.com/forums/politics/1215979-The-EU-and-how-it-works

i think it should be bumped every so often so that it doesn't disappear.

Good point soontobe. I have reported myself with a note to admin

durhamjen started a thread titled The Queens Speech. Which seems to be taken over at present by gransnet HQ who have put House of Commons spokespeople on there.
I dont know whether you could put a post on there?

In the interests of transparency and in order that we can make a more informed decision I feel very strongly that the report commissioned by the Bank of England relating to the economic situation should the UK leave the EU be made available for public scrutiny before the referendum vote

Re the point about entitlement to benefits. Our system used to be much more contribution based but has moved now to mainly being a means tested system. The unintended consequence of this so far as EU migrants are concerned is that it paradoxically makes us more attractive. That's interesting isn't it - sort of a sowing the seeds of our own destruction. BTW anyone else a bit about the HofC people? Its really about the mechanics of the system isn't it - not politics at all in any meaningful sense. I'm sure it's useful for some but me, I love a good bunfight debate instead about the issues. I am finding their tone a bit patronising and anyway, I know all that stuff anyway

Riverwalk and I did express reservations, but were roundly set upon! The whole concept of the thread is rather odd, IMO, and GNHQ should have started a new HOC topic, not tagged on to dj's link to what she'd like the Queen's Speech to have contained. Not that I read it.

Have you seen what HQ have said on my Real a queens a speech thread? FFS!

Yes, I can hardly believe it!

I couldnt believe it!

Why is it funny?

Arts and Crafts Board might be worth a look
