[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

Why did the USSR collapse?

Good question.

Increasing amounts of impoverishment as the economic model ground on with unsustainable spending. Sound familiar?

Why did the USSR collapse?

Are you seriously comparing a communist state with a central government (Not unlike the UK today by the way) with a left leaning union that is controlled by member states?

Nurse! Nurse! We have a live one.

Ermmm.........Yes.

Controlled by member states my 'arris. Get a grip on reality. Part of the Remnant's problem is they can't see what is happening in front of them.

Millipede starting to get it!

[NotAllThere]

you mean in Schengen with uncontrolled migration and subject to European law.

And handing over a wedge of dosh each year for the privilege, with no say in the running.

Why did the USSR collapse?

This Christmas in Europe Stalin will be coming down the chimney to redistribute the presents

The EU bears much more resemblance to Yugoslavia than the USSR. That didn't turn out too well either!

Time for part 3?

[scooterscot]

Ermmm.........Yes.

As opposed to Royal privilege, an unelected head of state with a unelected house of lords passing law as they see fit?

What are you smoking?

How the European Union works

Cleary you've not got a clue. Part of the reason why the UK dislikes the EU so much is because all states are entitled to say in how the organisation is run. Rather like AV (Alternative voting) members of different governments throughout the EU are able to introduce MEPs. We vote for those governments.

So when the UK decides to leave Brexit members chant 'see I told you so, slinging mud at us' - What the hell did you expect? Bye Bye, we'll miss you? Don't forget to write?

This chap sums it up nicely, it's the likely future to come.


"How can you say that the EU has adopted a tough stance on the UK ?? The EU has said again and again that they wish the UK to stay in. The EU has been asked to negotiate time and time again for 2 years with Cameron before the referendum and did bend a few rules. Now, the UK decides to EXIT but has not yet officially asked to leave (no article 50 yet). Who is tough with who here? Can't you see that the UK is the one leaving the club? The EU can only say "Sorry to see you go and by-bye". What else do you want the EU to say?

Now my analysis of Trumps victory is that the UK is more isolated than ever. Leaving the EU club, with little hope to strike a free trade deal with the US, the horizon is dark.

And if the Brexiters strike a free trade deal with India or China, you will replace Polish workers with Indians or Chinese, and the price of manufacturing in these 2 countries being 10% of the UK wages, you will kill all UK manufacturing. Just a reminder that China and India combined have a population of 3 billion people,, 50 times the UK population.

Who is the giant , who is the dwarf?"
