Make no mistake, there are folk who will make those sort of comments and be trolling, but there will also be folk who genuinely believe what they say. The latter group will be the eye bulging victims of strokes who will be clogging up our hospitals in the event of Brexit not going ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would never have got started without us - oh okay it did but once it was started they were dead keen to get us in - except for the veto by de Gaulle that is but in any case, I am sure they were always pleased whenever we turned up and described them as a bunch of idiots. Boy they're going to miss us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy they're going to miss us!Tbf I think De Gaulle’s opposition was based more on the view that we were Washington’s lapdog which I’m sure we can all agree wasn’t borne out by subsequent historical events. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as they were to make sure Greece could bounce back quickly from the economic crisis created by not having proper controls over how debt was being generated in the eurozone and just as they were to make sure that self-determination could happen in Catalonia when there was a majority for an independence referendum in the Generalitat? The UK would be a lot better off in the EU than outside, but let's not pretend that the EU always acts benevolently. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not, Spain is an EU member Catalonia is not. The EU has already been consistently fighting Ireland's corner in negotiations. You're just talking pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 It's all Brussels fault apparently. Fox is a c**t of a man tbh, ramping up the rhetoric hoping the EU will cave in. It just won't happen as the ripple effect across the other 27 countries wanting better deals etc would be EU suicidehttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-45073294 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
