    A small island next to a larger mainland rival : should it merge?

    I refer of course to Japan and China.

    I would think that very quickly Japan would become a set of empty islands.

    The Chinese have long memories!

      And this refers to Brexit in what way exactly?

        Someone mentioned Brexit in their reply.

          Because Nigel Farage was asked by the Japanese press 'how could you be so stupid as to leave the EU???'

          He replied "so why don't you let your historical enemies the Chinese take you over and set your laws"?


          The Japanese quickly understood why we voted out.

            Maybe the EU needs to widen its scope and let any country, regardless of geographic location, join?

              Like the Eurovision Song Contest you mean? Think carefully before you reply
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                They need to find a country willing to chuck in £350,000 per week into a blackhole, in exchange for 350,000 free immigrants per year.

                Bargain!

                  Its not like the EU thinks carefully before encouraging applicants as Ukraine & Crimea found out to their cost.

                    The UK was part of that remember? Also the UK is the only country in the EU who wants Turkey, strange eh?
