Here's quite a good link on this and the UK influence in the EU https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-facts-behind-claims-uk-influence/ Official EU voting records* show that the British government has voted ‘No’ to laws passed at EU level on 56 occasions, abstained 70 times, and voted ‘Yes’ 2,466...

Whatever happens tomorrow thank you all for discussing this in a coherent way. Remember if it doesn't go the way you want at least you are not in Glastonbury which is already a watery hell-hole before it has even begun. Unless you are in which case; bad luck - it's not your week is it? Best...

Very good from old Gordy; it is us after all who are not littering battlefields like every generation before us in some European conflict. NATO may be the military expression of European unity but the EU, at least, informs and nurtures that unity. Leaving because you don't like the French or...

The very good John Oliver on this; funnier than the Liverpool professor and with more swearing too: Best Dillinger

But that is nothing like this situation; that is a foreign power (England) imposing their sovereignty by military force over a subordinate country (India). The EU is not a foreign power (it is not a sovereign state or even a sovereign entity); we as part of the EU come up with the policies...

I've been sent this today and it is very persuasive and in fact makes the whole thing quite terrifying. In these stark terms it really sounds like we are close to making a hugely important decision (to leave) without any good reason. This is a Professor of Law whose specialist area is the EU...

The British government appoints its European Commissioner to represent the interests of the UK. There is no 'unelected government' calling the shots; it is a group of member states of which we are part of the Big 3 (that is France, Germany and us - which by the way was the reason the French were...

I tried a green veg nutribullet smoothie (with some lime in it I think) and it blew my bloods completely off the scale. I think it's trial and error.

The maternity rights we have are a direct consequence of a European directive (which I go through in my post above). Not trusting politicians is a problem (and I would think we are all frustrated by how slippery they are) but not one that is directly related to the EU vote. The democratic...

We don't live in a plebiscite where the population votes on every issue; we live in a representative democracy where the people we elect are tasked with making the decisions (and frankly should be making this one but that's another rant). So, its not at all undemocratic to vote for MPs and the...

May I ask what your reasons are then if they are not the ones you listed?

I agree Cameron seemed to come back without a massive success there, perhaps that is because the EU underestimated the threat of the UK leaving; they were possibly thinking (in an 'Allo 'Allo bad French accent) "who could be so foolish as to leave?". But now we are on a knife edge and other...

I don't have to say or guarantee that; I can say what we have at the moment in our membership is beneficial (and it is; if for no other reason than the directives relating to worker's rights). Vote leave is saying; "jump ship" and I'm saying "what's in the water if we do?" The answer "I don't...

For what it's worth here’s my thoughts on the EU. At the start of this year I would have voted leave if pushed. Now I feel that to remain is the right decision, indeed the only rational decision. The EU has many problems, it is horribly bureaucratic, there is a well-established gravy train...

Thanks; let us know what it's like. Thank you for advancing the course of science one case of beer at a time!!

This is the real deal. My wife makes a mean pizza for our kids using the bread machine to make the dough. I tried this version alongside theirs and in the interests of diabetes research compared it to a small slice of real pizza stolen from my son. The texture was pretty much identical. The...

Hi, Get him to read through things here and post questions. The other great help initially would be to get a Freestyle Libre blood glucose monitor. That will give 24 hour view of his blood sugars and if you use it as data that you respond to can be invaluable to getting to grips with this. They...

Hi, the drops I mean are Vitamin D3 in liquid form which you can get at a concentration of 1,000 or 2,000 IU per drop. I added these to my children's milk from day 1. It's not about multivitamins; it's about specifically addressing a potential vitamin D deficiency that cascades into an...

I'm not a doctor so take this in that context; but this study seems amazing to me; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11705562 "Children who regularly took the recommended dose of vitamin D (2000 IU daily) had a RR of 0.22" That means, as I understand it, an 78% risk reduction for those...

Some interesting points above; but shouldn't you be reading your course books rather than relying on the kindness of strangers on a diabetes management forum? You know; do your own work and that kind of thing?
