How the heck do you stay in power for 18 years? Especially given your propensity for the booze... he is good at his job i suppose,after all is said and done Churchill was a bit of a drunkard and dosed up to the eyeballs by his doctor.

I guess you are. Silly little people. Silly little folks, who are so keen to abuse what our heroes has done. I guess, you don't even know how to be ashamed. Do you?

I didn't vote for them. give it some time,the UK wasn't democratic in its making for hundreds of years,even after the Civil war only the landed gentry were allowed to vote. The EU will be democratic and there will be many bumps along the road before that happens. Due to the fact that the EU consists of mature democratic voters with a good education it will eventually be stronger than any other block in the world,at least that is my belief. The UK belongs in this block and should stop living in the past,dreaming of exaggerated past glories wont bring the UK forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vogie Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Great Britain has always been little, but we are Great because we can fight, explore, do stuff. Back in '39 an unprepared little Britain came to the aid of many against a well prepared war machine attacking little countries. It is in our genes to try.... The EU thing is just Brits showing when enough is enough.... I think you do a great disservice to conveniently forget the large number of Poles, Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis, Free French, and many other nationalities who not only helped defend GB during the Battle of Britain but who "came to the aid of many . . ." until the US joined in. I started reading from bottom to the top. The first sentence (from the bottom) has always been enough for me. the rest is just icing on the cake so to speak. To the OP stop winging. The UK people do not see themselves as European but from the UK. Its called patriotism. They are proud of their identity and have seen this dwindled away since joining the EU. This was an opportunity to get our identity back. Now deal with it. Please do not include Scotland in your UK generalisation. We are just as patriotic, perhaps even more so, about our country as the English are about theirs but, unlike the English, most of us also consider ourselves European and have been so for hundreds of years. It is possible to be patriotic without being xenophobic! For a nation that hates the English, I don't think you should be using words like xenophobic!

MJP Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 May be people voted for Little England. Perhaps they're sick of being dragged into countless conflicts Worldwide. Perhaps they're tired of being forced to pay huge sums in "foreign aid" to dictators. Perhaps they've had enough of being given away and told they're terrible people at the same time. The working class vote was definitely a vote against middle class Marxists, bunch of fakes that they are. The Labour Party died with John Smith.

Why do you think UK voted out........... 48% didn't and probably a lot more are now regretting their out vote, comes from listening to lies,NHS contributions,being able to stop immigration, we will be better off financially etc,voting from the heart and not with the grey matter Whether these people are regretting or not (which I doubt), the decision to leave is final.

pitrevie Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I will just take your last sentence because it demonstrates you clearly do not know what you are talking about. Before you claim that 55% of UK Laws are dictated by the EU Commission please supply proof. The University of Liverpool Law School Professor Michael Dougan the leading EU lawyer says otherwise. This was one of the big lies thrown up by Brexiters. However do feel free to contradict Professor Michael Dougan I look forward to you substantiating that statement. I have already posted two of his videos explaining this but then I doubt you really want to base your opinion on evidence. My last sentence was "No knowledge as to its accuracy (and its not my problem)" so I have no intention of substantiating something that was passed on to me and forwarded as such with a personal disclaimer. If you tried reading and comprehending what was posted before climbing on your high horse, we would both be better off. Nice try just write a load of rubbish none of which you have any knowledge as to its veracity. I have no knowledge whether any of the following is true but its not my problem. Next supply a long list of utter garbage without first checking. Well its not difficult to see why you voted for Brexit. What is wrong with you? I didn't write it, it was sent to me, and as I thought it was, at the least, interesting I put it on the forum making it quite plain that i had no knowledge of its veracity. It is not my problem because I am a bloody Australian who is not a citizen, resident or even a visitor to the UK, who for some strange reason didn't vote at all. If it is garbage, repudiate it So you post a load of nonsense none of which you have checked and now you try to claim its nothing to do with you. When challenged on even one part of it you disown it.

soalbundy Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Well YOU get on with it, if Germans are in your opinion better than the UK union, do your stuff......silly statement, the EU is not German it consists of 27 countries all with voting rights, Junker is president of the EU commission and he comes from the little country of Luxembourg. Junker seems a bit of a German name to me. "The distinguished German surname Junker is derived from the Middle High German word "juncherre," meaning "a young noble" What's wrong with being German? a bit racist maybe? my daughter and my granddaughter are both German, they seem to be normal people, maybe i should spit in my granddaughters face and accuse her of being a nazi after all fair is fair her great grandfather on one side might have been (he wasn't but don't let that disturb you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all you do is make wild assumptions as to my nationality and voting patterns, and then claim the entire article is garbage without any evidence that it is wrong. Should I aspire to that?

You can always go and live in their country, so you feel European. I and many others are proud to be from the UK. Just as in Thailand,People are proud to be Thai. What is wrong with that? Its called having a national identity. This has been eroded away since the UK has been in the EU but now, no more.

It was only advisory, and some of them encouraging the vote lied, so the result didn't count. Anyway, back on topic, Conquest of Europe seems to be a recurring German dream, no matter how 'decent' they are as individuals, or what they call their political views or system of government. The English dream, on the other hand, is to be independent of all foreign rule. Edited July 2, 2016 by MissAndry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Gravy Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Just as a side note on the whole debate. I believe everyone needs their own social identity. This is apparent throughout society. Supporting and defending everything from your school, area, football team, language and accents is normal. The list goes on. The whole EU was designed to destroy that. Have everyone the same, same currency, ideology with eventually the same army, police etc. There is nothing wrong with being friends with our neighbours but we are all different and need our own personalised identity. This is evident in everyone's country and regions. The EU originally designed for better trade, was nothing but strangling each and every countries heritage and bringing a new world EU. I for one am going to enjoy it crumble and then the European countries can get back to trading and being themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Jacobites, I think you are confusing religious bigotry with any fervor to be seen as anything European. The Clearances created the perpetual Scots diaspora but they didn't exactly flee the glens to settle down in Strasbourg either. Before that, the whole concept of Europe didn't exist. It didn't get much truck in the 21st Century Scotland either until the SNP were hoist by their own petard and now embarrassingly clamor for some form of EU salvation.
