I can't sign that, I'm somewhat pro Reg's Merciless racism against the cheese eating surrender monkeys.
Well no-one's going to take your little Thailander views seriously if you don't create a counter-petition. It's how we express our outrage these days.

So you don't like pork but you do like a bacon sandwich?!
Yes.  I would sign that but I've been caught like that before. Sign one thing on change.org and all of a sudden everyone and their brother is dying and needs your help. I only wanted them to make smartie tubes round again.

More chance of co-ordinated pan-European Smarties tube action with Britain as a strong voice at the EU sweeties table...

Exactly why I don't like signing these things

Good luck with that...it took the UK 27 years of EU argument to get the French to accept that the likes of Cadburys, Terrys and Frys made something they understood as chocolat, and so deemed it appropriate for sale within their borders.

Cadbury's is but a slither away from vanishing as the company we know and love. Give it a couple of years and a sly recipe change will be put in place for Dairy Milk under the guidance of Mondelez. The Crème Eggs have already been transitioned.

So who's the bigger threat? The EU or the US?

Exactly, isn't it something like the most commonly read English news website on the internet - or something like that!

Definitely the US....take the case of Cadbury's, flogged off to Kraft with a loan from Goldman Sachs, who then close plants in GB making the traditional Fry's and Terry's brands they acquired, and ship production to Poland and Slovakia. Goldman Sachs are then complicit in the 2008 crash, whereby banks have to be bailed out by the GB tax payer, including those who lost their jobs in Keynsham and York etc. Which would be why Goldman Sachs are one of the largest funders of the Remain in the EU campaign...and very keen to see TTIP, make it even easier to profit from the labours of ordinary Europeans. The original socialist premise in the 75 refendum was for an out vote, as the Common Market as was then, was seen as a bankers construct inimical with worker's rights. When you end up with unelected bankers, like Jean-Claude Juncker at the head of EU, who made his name in creating tax evasion havens in Luxemborg, such that even David Cameron, a man not averse to benefiting from some off shore activity, found it distasteful, you know there are problems. The question should be how can the EU be reformed? The US I regard as beyond salvation.

Well Reg, it certainly won't be Cameron and Gideon Osborne doing any reformation - they will just go along with whatever France and Germany want to do!!
