Yes, I can give you a thousand reasons why the EU sucks.

I have nothing against Europe at all. I just can not stand the European Parliament.

The EU intends to turn the United Kingdom into 12 regions. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will still exist as identified regions - though their so-called Parliaments are, in reality, merely Regional Assemblies of the European Union.

England, on the other hand, is being split up into nine regions. Each already has a Regional Assembly - under the authority of Brussels. Eight of the Regional Assemblies are entirely unelected. The members are appointed by the Labour Government. The ninth Regional Assembly is better known as the London Assembly - under Ken Livingstone. It's the only one of the nine which has members who have been elected.

All nine Regional Assemblies were set up under the Regional Development Agencies Act 1998. Their names are:

London Assembly
East of England Regional Assembly
East Midlands Regional Assembly
North East Assembly
North West Regional Assembly
South East England Regional Assembly
South West Regional Assembly
West Midlands Regional Assembly
Yorkshire and Humber Assembly

Only another 999 to go.

Strong economic growth - greater than the United States last year

That's not true at all: unless you consider the addition of the countries that joined the EU in 2006 as "economic growth".

And I have just two words to illustrate how I feel about the EU: Turbot War.

You think Poland would be better off outside of the EU, on its own? Think again...

[SUBMAN1]

This looks almost like State sponsered propoganda, written by a reporter who either got a benefit from the EU, or got a kickback. Are you sure these guys are really called - The Independent?

There are many sides to it, I agree with you that we partly benefit from the EU, but there are many negative angles also, that I personally am unhappy about.
