Comments for Kosmopolito http://www.kosmopolito.org The Blog with the European perspective Tue, 21 May 2013 13:40:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 Comment on How to become a British eurosceptic by Daniel Jackson http://www.kosmopolito.org/2013/05/14/how-to-become-a-british-eurosceptic/#comment-61822 Daniel Jackson Tue, 21 May 2013 13:40:35 +0000 http://www.kosmopolito.org/?p=3341#comment-61822 The European issue is so much more simple than this article suggests. We are voluntary members of an organisation that a slight majority of British people want to leave (as is reflected consistently in polls)

The government will eventually hold a referendum (If this must wait until there is another transfer of powers, so be it) and when it comes we will choose to leave (with that narrow majority that I mentioned earlier)

The minutiae of the debate is lost on the electorate as a whole. It’s the simple, accessible argument of principle which we (The nasty Eurosceptics) are winning.

Spread some ridiculous conspiracy theories. If you stop at ‘undemocratic bureaucraic monster’, others will out-conspire you; try ‘Lizard people from Alpha Centauri are running the EU’. You would wonder how many people will follow you.

When criticising rules “imposed” by the EU do not mention that (a) the UK probably voted in favour of these rules and that (b) if the EU didn’t regulate working time, hospital safety or food imports, the UK would need to do so. Pretend that without the EU, life wouldn’t have any rules that anybody would need to abide by.

]]> Comment on Sainsbury's does not accept ID cards!? by Adela http://www.kosmopolito.org/2009/12/11/sainsburys-does-not-accept-id-cards/#comment-61786 Adela Sat, 11 May 2013 19:54:25 +0000 http://www.kosmopolito.org/?p=1706#comment-61786 Unfortunately this is rather common here… Today I was at ASDA and I wanted to buy a pair of scissors, they asked me for my ID and they said that it had to be in English since they could not understand anything there. I gently explain to them where the date of birth was and that the date of birth is not in any language since they are just numbers. I also showed my european driving licence and they continue saying that they could not understand those words (in a despective way) I asked to talk to the manager and eventualy I could buy my pair of scissors but they kept saying that they don’t accept IDs in other languages. They suggested me to enrole for an “ASDA ID card” in orther to avoid further problems. I think this is stupid and of course I’m not going to get that card, it’s very easy to avoid further problems, I won’t go to buy there again.

I am 27 years old and I have had this problem before, I’ve always bought what I wanted though but always threatening them to call the police or something like that. I am now tired and I’d like to do something about this. Does anyone here knows where I have to go to report this discrimination???

Report any demonstration against Eurozone austerity as ‘turning their back on the EU.’

Write a story on “Is the Eurozone on the brink of breakup?” despite no country electing a government that wishes to leave the Euro.
