As usual the fact that Sam (and Ivan) saved Europe from occupation is forgotten. The EU now fancies having an armed force, conveniently composed from existing member states' forces. But for the moment the EU is incapable of waging war - and it should stay that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you throw the US into the argument then since 1946 they have started more wars then any other nation on earth, so thank goodness that NATO is indeed made up in the main of European nations of whom the majority are in the EU and hence have worked together to prevent major conflict FYI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_NATO Yes European Nations not the European Union US and Britain were the backbone of NATO, defending West Germany from the Eastern Block nations since the end of the Second World War and paying vast sums of money to do it, so don't give me your EU kept the peace BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither do the majority of people in the UK.

At least that has been my experience over the years. Complaining after the fact is futile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I don't recall a European war with France since the Common Market was conceived, another part of my post that you choose to ignore. . Facts are facts. Please try to understand them please. The common market was not formed to prevent war, it's a fact that nobody elects the council of ministers who rule over us. No amount of GDP increasing compensates for a bunch of tyrants making laws over us where we have no say in them. The EU Parliament is just a talking shop which rubber stamps what their masters hand to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly the previous poster made if perfectly clear that "NATO is indeed made up in the main of European nations" Not NATO is related to the EU. He is talking about the brake that these civilized nations have put on the warlike tendencies of the US. Defending the whole western world against Russian expansion was in all their interests, and everybody in NATO contributed. That was about EXTERNAL aggression. The cold war ended years ago BTW, just in case you hadn't noticed. This has nothing to do with keeping the peace WITHIN Europe, which nations working together in the EU (Jaw jaw not war war) has certainly helped achieve. This is widely recognised, although Brexiteer cannot imagine that anything good ever came out of the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have a second vote, based on the facts, Brexit is dead ... that’s democracy. So can we re run the 1997 election seen as Blair won that with lies ? Just like every other Labour Government!!

Having said that, he seems to be picking up some new baggage in the candidates his new party is putting forward. and isn't strange his new party is as undemocratic as he always says the EU is - you pay your £25, but become a supporter, not a member and have no voting rights. There are no clear policies outside of brexit and only Nigel get to decide what any of them will be . He's a mini-dictator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
