Dave,
I stated my views. Simple as that.

Yes, thereby instigating a discussion.

I do not have to justify myself to anyone though.

You have to justify your views or it is not a discussion.
This is a discussion forum, not a graffiti wall!

I don't expect to win or lose any debates.

Neither do I, but if I made a claim or stated an opinion that I could not justify then I would know that I had indeed lost and would either retract or withdraw.
You have chosen the latter.

differs with me to such an extent that I cannot even comprehend their views.

No problem. Just say which of my views you can not comprehend and I will explain it simply.

Jim,
If you don't - why make such an effort on his behalf?

Because you were all making false statements about him, and I admit I enjoy showing you up for what you are.
I am anti EU and have been since before there was a UKIP.
