[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

[NotAllThere]

And we have Brexiters who think the following is a logical argument: "Modern day Russia had in 2005 a similar population the the EU - therefore the EU is Stalinist."

The point I was making, which seems to elude you, is that document presented - this one http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web/...-/KS-77-07-231 - in no way supports the "EU is Stalinist" regime.

I'm really losing the will to argue

Would that were true. But you don't argue - you just string together non-sequiturs and, like any True Believer, ignore anything that challenges your paradigm.

Socialism in One Country That's the easy version and looks exactly like where the EU is heading.

I don't think the EU is heading towards a simultaneous communist revolution.

Clearly all member states are really happy with the EU, Poland sees Brexit as chance to shift EU power back to nations says a prominent Polish Eurosceptic

Well, he would say that, wouldn't he. Is he representative of the majority of Polish politicians or people. No.

And my favourite of the day: “He is an icon of evil and stupidity.”

Which has no relevance at all to the Polish view of the EU - just their view of comments made by their former Prime Minister.

We have another who should want to avoid a Stalinist state based upon their background but who needs more immigration to make their BTL profitable.

No evidence, so far, has been presented that the EU is becoming a Stalinist state. Maybe you could indicate what traits of the EU you consider Stalinist.

Then we have Remnants who can't hold down jobs in the UK and have to take lower paid jobs elsewhere in the EU.

Not quite sure why you think they've taken lower paid jobs, but I've not read all the posts in the turgid thread. Even if it is true, they've had a 10% rate rise due to the fall in the pound, which is nice. btw - my current rate is well over £1000 a day. So even if some of us have gone to Europe for lower paid jobs, some of us have gone for higher paid.

And to cap it all, a prize Remnant who would vote to take Scotland out of the UK but straight into the arms of the EU. How bizarre.

Not really. The evidence is that many Scots voted to remain in the UK because otherwise they'd have to leave the EU.

The EU is years out of date. The UK has been devolving power for the last few years. The EU is doing the opposite. Numerous other countries are getting fed up with it (see my post above). It will collapse.

Make up your mind. First you say it'll end up a Stalinist state, and now you say it will collapse.

Daily Mail - 1973...

Well a)Back then the DM might have been a credible newspaper?
b)It's been over 40 years, it is possible for situations to change. Doctors used to endorse smoking...

Back then it was presented as a trading bloc not a federal state with a central communist like belief. We was lied to.

Imagine joining costco and 40 years later finding half of Eastern Europe in your spare room and your house being run by some bloke in Brussels who used to do tax evoidance for a living.

... tax evoidance for a living.

Is that a neologism? If so, . If not

It's going to take years to fully leave the EU, we will not see the benefit for another 10 years at least.

So Nigel "unelected" Farage has managed to have 3 meetings within 6 weeks of Trump being elected to be President of the US.
Boris "Brains behind Brexit" Johnson (the British Foreign secretary) has managed after 10 weeks to get to meet some of Trump's advisors.
