The sooner the better that a British government has a referendum on being in the EU, sack it and the stupid rulings off IMO

**** off EU.
Ruined this country they have.
We fought 2 wars to battle off invasion and dictatorship,these days they freely allow both....

To be fair, its needed to stop the gender pricing of insurance.

I agree but should be because England wants to,not the Eu.

I reckon any government is scared to give a referendum on eu membership lol

Because without large chunks of the eu policies we'd be in a worse place than Greece.

This has been on the cards for years. It will just see a rise in prices for ladies.

I quite agree with the levelling out idea. However instead of raising the prices for ladies by a massive 24%, why not raise it about ten to fifteen and then drop men's prices that little bit more...

Also somewhere back in the thread (I'm on my phone so can't browse too easy lol) that we would be in a place similar to Greece if we discarded the eu stuff... We should have the choice in which to choose which eu laws/directives that suit the uk best, and not just accept every bit of bullsh!t that they spout...

If women make less claims surely its only fair they should be cheaper?

That's what I thought,
Quick quote for a laugh,

My gsi, 1.6, fully comp with a regular insurance company,

Her 9 years driving 7 years NCB £240
Me 15 years driving 14 years NCB £420

even for her 206 1.4 she's only £120 fully comp for the year lol

Women burned there bras for equality, fooking let em ave it I say !

if insurance is all about statistics why was there even a need to change it,


pathetic nonsense.

Stuart

Do women make less claims though.... Or do they just have lots of little dings in car parks etc and just drive a wreck or have hubby pay for the car to be fixed...

will they change insurance for under 25's as its ageist old people getting cheaper insurance, or would that just be mindless fiddling with a system that works

if you cant afford insurance then walk or jump on a bus, once again people aren't entitled to everything!!

if only every dossing turd burger this country was full of, got of the **** moaning about how everything is unfair and tried to better them selfs this country could turn its self around, liberal minded, soft, pansy boy, ****tards.

Being male i won't mind getting cheaper insurance, women alway's complain about not being treated as equal, it is questionable where the 15% more they're going to make out of it is going though. I've never made a claim so surely my insurance should come down when i renew because i'm less risk, yet it goes up every year
