Britain should have no illusions about Brexit - Merkel

Well Croatia was at war before it joined the EU. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are not at war, whereas their neighbour the Ukraine is, and Turkey is on the edge of war.

So it isn't stupid to suggest that the EU promotes peace.

So does the Miss World competition.

There is a big difference between promoting peace and putting boots on the ground under a common flag.

IF the UK destabilise Europe and half the planet goes back to rat tulip what industry in the UK would possibly benefit massively from that outcome?

What would happen if UK destabilised it's main export market? Nothing good.

Very few wars were waged in Europe since the EC later EU was founded. It's only non EU countries like RUssia that start wars in Europe at the moment and it's the same Russia that likes to see the EU fall apart and actively supports the Le Pens and Farages of this world

That's ok. If it all kicks off then the UK will probably emerge relatively unscathed.

We're an easily defendable island and have nukes.

That's ok. If it all kicks off then the UK will probably emerge relatively unscathed.

Relative to places like Syria?

You still live in the 1940s? Russia has many more nukes and missiles don't care if the target is an island or not

Relative to places like Syria?

Relative to Europe.

It shouldn't come to that. NATO is not the EU.

But if the worst comes to the worst you have to ask yourself why should we expect our young men and women to die in a ditch to protect Europe if the EU pursues a course of action that would negatively affect the lives of those men and women and their families during peace time.

How could we ask them to make that sacrifice?

Still waiting to know what these 'illusions' are...

What the feck has it go to do with Australia?

They are a British Dominion 2.0.

[BlasterBates]

It's fairly clear from the comments of the Australian High Commissioner that UK is the problem, not the EU.

That's ok. If it all kicks off then the UK will probably emerge relatively unscathed.

We're an easily defendable island and rent nukes off a demented pussy grabber.
