An example of historical ignorance combined with a denial of Brexit reality.

Secondly, Hitler is the casebook example of a racist who used fear of foreigners and hatred of a particular racial group to further his own aims.

The regular citizen will pay the bill. But i am not sad, bcs the regular citizen voted for the Brexit GB was never a full euopean member, who belives in the values of the EU. They always blocked the Eu from going forward. I pleased with the voting for the Brexit , bcs i think for the EU it brings a lot of future prospective, without the hassle that Gb was done over the last centurys There are other countrys .would fit into the Eu, much better than GB , in the long run. GB thinks they special..ok..move forward alone, the great empire is a thing of the past i still belive in the values of the Eu , but if the EU alloud to stop the exit of GB, and give them again advantages to stay, than i ,as a european citizen , would loose the faith in the values of the EU. i think europe is better off without GB , but GB would be better on track with the EU...but hopefully its a thing of the past. and in many posts i read home shortage is bcs of foreigners ,and racist posts, i think,GB is better out. sure to many immigrants, but not everything is their fault,and just think about britains econommy without foreign immigrant workers.....................

Popular Post nauseus Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 5 minutes ago, soalbundy said: your post #2582 was witty, this one wasn't Wrong number but never mind. No wit intended for either. You say that you agree that change is needed for the EU. I say that the history of the EU shows that any reform will not reverse any of the things we don't like but actually empower the EU more. If the status quo had survived (i.e. a win for remain), then this would have been a green light for the EU to crash on with their planned full political, economic and everything integration. No reforms except bad ones and probably no chance of another referendum for single states, so, in that case, any country wanting to leave the new superstate would literally have fight their way out! The EU Commission are after complete control. Catalan independence leaders are currently being corralled using the EU arrest warrant. The future of individual freedoms under an EU regime allowed to follow its plan is bleak; this is one of the main reasons why a Brexit (or similar) is required to give them a jolt and put the brakes on this bullshine. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did indeed have a referendum in 1975, when we were uninformed, this being pre internet, that we were joining a trading union, certainly not what it has transformed into over the last 30-40 yrs. And I say this, as I was one of those who foolishly voted to join the EEC. And I fully beleive, that had the British people realised what deceit was being played on them at that referendum, then the vote would have been closer to 90% rejecting the ECC. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was keen on France and Germany getting along after the war but as far as the UK goes then most of his famous quotes indicate that he was not keen to join any continental European club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'm hearing there is a movement now not for a redo vote but for a vote to approve or reject the final Brexit plan that is proposed.

What is very clear however is that many Brexit supporters voted for things that we now learn are not going to be delivered. The nation's fishing communities know now that they have been shafted, it turns out that despite Brexit leader denials we don't only need a transit deal, the transit deal is going to drag on for years. The Brexit bonus of cash saved from the EU to be handed to the NHS isn't ever going to happen, the EU is still going to pass laws and regulations that the UK will have to follow (only now no longer having any say in what those laws and regulations are), and free movement is not ending. The list goes on. Yes, The Brexit negotiations have been a complete shambles, lead by a remainer and supported by a sizable number of selfish remainers, who would rather their country go down the pan,instead of getting behind the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
