How on earth do you equate Angela Merkel with Adolf Hitler? Just how? If that's your reason for wanting out then I give up. If you're alluding to the rise of nationalistic populism around the world (not just within EU states) I suggest you cast an eye over the supporters of UKIP. As for bullying...give me a break. There are leave voters on here whose views I respect. There are others who haven't a clue and who have a mindset that is based on "I'm ok, f**k the rest". THEY are the bullies I detest.
My wife is German. We've been married for nearly 19 years, together for 24. During that time I've met hundreds, if not thousands, of Germans. To the best of my knowledge, not one of them has ever started a world war.
If you told one or two on here that there's an EU law that grants Germans the right to put their towels on all the best deckchairs they'd believe you.
Just a quick response Donny, EU legislation Free movement of workers Directive 2014/54/EU on measures facilitating the exercise of rights conferred on workers in the context of freedom of movement for workers Directive 2014/50/EU on the acquisition and preservation of supplementary pension rights Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) Regulation (EU) 492/2011 of 5 April 2011 on freedom of movement for workers within the Union, codifying Regulation (EEC) 1612/68and its successive modifications (Council Regulations 312/76 and 2434/92, and Article 38(1) of Directive 2004/38/EC).

You've been banging on all week about how you work 50 hours a week. How would you feel if your employer forced you to?
You’ll note the use of the word ‘workers’. Yes they’re allowed to ‘stay’, that doesn’t mean they’re entitled to any state support. Seriously you’re so out of your depth here. Do you believe you could go to France tomorrow and claim benefit? Or are these more of the EU laws that only apply to foreigners in the UK. Again Schroedingers immigrants - coming over here eroding our workers rights, but they’re allowed to come on the basis they’re entitled to equal treatment! Back to some more made up ones now?
I didn’t say that the EU didn’t make laws, I asked you for examples of EU laws you objected to. Comprehension isn’t a strong point.
How dare those European workers come over here, contribute to society and pay their taxes. Disgusting. SEND THEM BACK.
Pointing out the weaknesses in or lack of logic behind someone’s views is not bullying or disrespect - it’s debate.
So you object to having the right to work in neighbouring countries. Ok. Your choice, can I ask why you object?
Probably because he hasn't the right work ethic as he seems to spend a lot of his time on the internet rather than doing his 50 hour week
