Popular Post shanesox Posted March 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2017 The krauts will soon be sobbing as they have to plug the hole from no further UK payments ..And the other 26 will still want their grubby handouts but UK won't be paying as their factories start laying off car workers..Just wait for the EU to implode in the coming months from cash shortages The real reason for the "regret" and tough talking or "punishing" the UK is because it's losing its second biggest cash cow! A big hole in its wasteful bureaucratic budget coming! That's why we hear all this divorce bill crap! Inability to reform! No more subsidising the weak lazy inefficient EU countries !Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scandalous behaviour by English fans only a short time ago also suggests otherwise. I also think the way the OP referred to Germans suggests otherwise.

The last task of my granddad's (1898-1992) regiment of Kitchener volunteers (11Bn Essex Regt) was to teach the citizens of Cologne how to play football before being demobbed in 1919.

There is a difference between banter and the type of smear that occurred yesterday. In fact I was also the subject of a smear from another poster who was suspended (not as a result of any action on my part) and who tries to take the moral high ground. I am often told by this character that if I ask him to provide evidence of some assertion he has made that I am engaging in debating tricks.

The fact is Germany and the "open door to all migrants" Merkels want to punish Uk because It was or still is the 2nd biggest contributor to the "black hole" spending. The world is a much bigger open trading market than it was when this "common market" began, then morphing into the EU monster!Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 A bit of a downer for the hard liners. " A draft resolution expected to be approved by the European Parliament on 5 April proposes a three-year time limit for a transitional period to thrash out an agreement following the likely Brexit date in 2019. That could leave British citizens to enjoy another five years of unrestricted access to the rest of the continent." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/article-50-brexit-latest-theresa-may-freedom-of-movement-after-leave-eu-a7657111.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite constantly baiting and flaming others he cries and runs to mummy as soon as he feels he is loosing. Absolutely pathetic. Theresa May has constantly been misquoted and her remarks spun by other FMs as well as the BBC and lefty politicians. No where has she made any remark that could be taken to be blackmail. To simply say that if we come away with no deal, security could be weakened is nothing more than the truth. it's about time the remain brigade started realising that we all need the best deal possible as there is no going back. To constantly talk down the UK helps no one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
