What has the US got to do with anything?
The application of EU law "The authorities in each member country are responsible for implementing EU legislation in national law and enforcing it correctly, and they must guarantee citizens’ rights under these laws."
In other words these laws are advisory, that's always been Italy's position and to an extent France. In the UK however we chose super flying TNT rather than shaping a solution that suits everyone.
You think it's bad now? Wait until we're no longer at the table. And the EU changes law for the better while the Tories transport us back to a feudal utopia."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

a) bow down in subservience to our Lord and Master, the USA; or
b) did we say, 'go forth you dozy American numpty, we do what we want in this country'?
Your arguments really don't stack.Comment

Originally posted by vetran View PostOh sorry I thought you were claiming the EU had prevented war. Obviously it only prevented war on a Thursday involving people whose name started with Z...
"Not sure how peace in Europe, the progress the EU has made, could be mutually exclusive events. Cooperation between member states for the benefit of the greater whole has only made the EU stronger in some ways."
Peace IN Europe.
Why do brexiters only read what they want to read and not what is written?"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Originally posted by scooterscot View PostNATO demonstrated its failure preventing the invasion of Iraq. You argue it keeps the peace, it did anything but when called out. To suggest it does so in Europe... you're probably one of those types who believes Trident helps to deter terrorists. Russia is all threat on news headlines and nothing more. The economy is shot, the military equipment ageing.. Most Russians like Europe, they'd never support a conflict with Europe. I thought you travelled?
Europe has been at peace because it is not an aggressor. Many of the big European players would shy away from conflicts whilst we charge in gun ho to Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan creating a vacuum for terrorists.Comment
