  • Good to see member states standing up to the EU at last.   Bad timing for the EU but using the threat of withholding money to dictate policy and legislation in member states was never going

    Hungary no longer qualifies to be called a democracy. Poland is well on the way. Better to toss them both out and enjoy an unsubsidized existence if they don't want to conform to EU rules.

    Is this the beginning of the end for the grand experiment? One hopes it is.

Why?

You think its better being run by the dodgy guys in Westminster?

More questionable for Scots......

As for Westminster, that place is made up of 4 nationalities, including your own, we even had 2 Scot leaders there..:whistling:

I think we would be better off run by our own dodgy guys rather than the dodgy guys you Brexiteers voted for.

Kick them out. All they do is wanting handouts anyway, but when it’s time to “do” they’re out, especially Hungary! Let them join the sinking ship called UK! ????

UK submarines don't sink. ????

How come, the House MP's come from the 4 corners of the UK, are you getting confused again...? ????

Try reading my post again and figure it out. 

Of course I know that you already understand what I meant but simply dont want to acknowledge it.

We can chalk this up to another of your "moving the goalposts" replies.

You should get over your anger of the English, sticks out a mile. Your King James created the union after becoming the King of England too, but you don't like it......Your King created a unified island, but you want to join the German/Franco club.......:whistling:

Fake news.

 

Scotland has a large representation of MP's at Westminster as well, thanks to the Blair Brown comedy act, the devolved Scottish government.

 

England does not have a devolved parliament pretending to be a sovereign one. And, suffers Scottish MP's deliberate interference in English only affairs.

 

Blair's awkward sop to buy off nationalists and keep Labour relevant in Scotland and Wales failed miserably. As clever as Brown flogging off the UK Gold reserves cheap.

 

Scotland has, currently, better representation than England. Only don't get so childish all the time when you can't have your own way!

Nationalists - often driven by that huge entitled chip on their shoulder; racist xenophobia and prone to believing historical myths.

 

That's why they're so easily manipulated.

Actually, it's made up of one nationality - British! Bet that's what's on their passport. Although some might have more than one passport - just in case 555!

 

But none have a passport that gives their nationality as English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish.

Transam, enjoy the schadenfreude. Imagine, we in the EU would "enjoy" it when "Great" Britain will be reduced to Little England some years after Brexit. Then EU TV-members will remember you:  some Brexiteers posting here....? "

 

The extremist leaders  in Poland and Hungary abuse the EU-rules that the 7-years EU-budget needs unanimity, although they drink the milk given by the EU.

 

Maybe, better probably,  they will miss some EU "milk" after the attempted extortion. Packed in the 7-years budget is the Covid recovery fund, too. Poland and Hungary again are receivers!

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah sure pal. And enjoy it when Russia and Turkey run the EU!

Its an assumption that after independence Scots would still be Brits? 

 

Rather grand assumption. Like the assumption the SNP will dictate everything to every part of the UK; make any decisions they fancy and tell everyone else what they must do. 

 

Very typical nationalist socialist behavior.

 

Hungary and Poland are sticking up for themselves and won't be bullied by France and Germany. Others in the EU are more easily bribed and intimidated.

There ya go, a 100% anti-British post, and you forget your Little England came to your rescue, or are you from the Axis mob.......?

 

I guess we ae not talking about what happened ~80 Years ago, we are talking about the future. If you cannot differ between criticysing, discussing and being "anti-British", it's your problem of intelligence and common sense. 

 

Germany learnt by her WW II mistakes and luckily was supported especially by the USA. GB and France didn't play the revange card, very appreciated by the Gerrmans. 

 

That's one reason among others to forget nationalism and to think about ways that this will not happen again. Bigger structures than national states are the only way to act as a counterbalance against superpowers like China and the USA. It's a pity that the USA has shown within the last 4 years, you cannot relay on them. 

 

GB (or mabe some years later England) isn't a superpower anymore. But being part of the EU ....... you guess it.

You're the only one, today, quoting anything about super power etc and wants to forget, yet needs to down the Brits. ..But what the UK is, is now a free country, not kowtowing to the German/Franco stuff, the back door U.S. of G........So back off the slurs....

 You are a laughing stock. The fact that they are able to stop the EU budget shows that "they are bullied by France and Germany" :cheesy:?!  Please wake up and learn more about the EU.

 

The real problem is their antidemocratic behaviour! They ruin the 3rd power in a democracy, the JURISTIC POWER.  In this case: Would you like to support such a mob in a communmity of countries?

But are they able to stop the EU budget, France has suggested that the have a majority vote now, meaning what France and Germany want, France and Germany get. 

It seems to me that the EU has done a great job on conditioning its members, you will hear nothing negative said about this great regime, as I said before, you have all been telling us now for 4 years how democratic the EU is by all nations having a vote, and now that two nations haven't voted how Germany and France wanted them to suddenly the goal posts are being moved. That is not democracy, it is totalitarianism.

Many of us European, man of the street, haven't any negative or positive to say about the E.U., as it doesn't influence at all our daily life.

Never read or heard something like :

Due to the E.U. there is now...

Thanks to the E.U. there is now...

 

Of course it may be different next year.

France and Germany (along with 24 other coutries) very bad for not agreeing with proto-fascist regimes exerting political control on the Media, the Judiciary and other institutions able to check abuse of power by governments. Oh, they are so bad! ????

There is currently 650 MP's in Westminster.

533 are from England.

Traditionally SNP MP's do not vote on English ONLY votes. Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem MP's from Scottish constituencies do.

If you want an English parliament then you need to start asking the government for one.

I suggest you google the words British and Brits in order that you might learn their meaning.

If you want to talk about manipulation, what about the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer, the UK's two most high profile politicians going all out to frighten people into voting remain? Even spending £9 million of tax payers' money on sending a leaflet to every household in the UK telling them to vote Remain. 

 

Without all that manipulation the Leave vote would have been a landslide.
