welshbairn Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 British troops and equipment would be transported on British ships. The RN do not have cargo ships and an expanded RFA would serve the same purposes as I seek. More jobs for British Merchant seafarers. The RFA is manned by civilian reservists, having only gained reserve status recently for purposes of rights under the Geneva Convention. So you think we'll get involved in more wars if we leave the EU? Is that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonedsailor Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I spent 4 years in shipyards going over regs from all over the world,ive worked 20 odd years at sea snd im a master mariner,my first reply was to your post about jones and eu,your now shifting the goal posts of your first postWhat are the first 2 letters of your discharge book number? My post was why I want to leave the EU. They benefit me in no way and when they have the chance to benefit me they don't. That is my point.

Srevart Treb Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Far too many diddie countries in the EU now,with the promise of more to join so with that I will be voting to leave. The thought of more hordes of benefit seeking Eastern Europeans clogging up the NHS and living rent free in council houses fills me with dread.

That is my point.As i said im not un sympathetic to your views but i cant see how leaving the eu will change the philipinos/indonesians and now cheap russians from crewing up shipsIf you think an out uk would keep a more active ready war fleet then you have to ask why are they not doing it now The non front line ships are now being built in south korea etc this aint going go change sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 No I think that we will be prepared for more wars. I still don't understand how you think you'll be better off in your job without the EU. The Navy isn't going to suddenly expand, the Government isn't going to force up shipping costs. I'd just hate to see your hopes dashed for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be working from UK ports, in the main, forcing UK/EU personnel on to these vessels would safeguard a huge amount of jobs. That DB number, your first 2 letters, Captain?

Mark Connolly Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think it's quite clear that this year's Eurovision song contest will have a massive say in the outcome of the in-out referendum. We're either getting love bombed with 12 points from everyone or told to f**k off with nil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 2 letters or first letter of your DB, no seaman calls it a pay off book, would date your time of joining the merch. More importantly, no self respecting master would refer to himself as a skipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Present company accepted, who in the leave campaign isn't an absolute bellend? Wouldn't mind reading something that states a grown up case for brexit. I imagine many potential left wing or sensible perspectives on leaving the EU will be reluctant to support a Brexit under the terms of the current government.
