    You can always gauge the hopelessness of Brexit according to the extent to which the EU army is debated. In particular debates over conscription.
    apparently Wales has been a major recipient of EU funds over the years, so how do you account for the fact that the majority of people in Wales voted to leave the EU? I wouldn't have thought that conscription to an EU army was high on the list of reasons. Perhaps it is the natural resistance of the Welsh to outside influences, we still call England the "old enemy" when we play them at rugby.

              So you made it up then?

              And now you're trying to say that 'maybe' people may not like a non-christian country joining. Would these people who oppose it be racists, by any chance?

                They were lied to, and they bought the lies. The recent election though was won by a remain supporting MP who campaigned on a remain card in a 'leave' area. None of the leave parties got anywhere near her. Maybe the majority of Welsh now are seeing the lies for what they are

                Come on Turnip Head, you can do better than that, surely

                p.s. Just in case you think I don't know, I do understand that by using the term 'carrot' you're actually swearing at me in a safe, won't get banned kind of way that the mods won't spot. It's what kids do in online gaming forums. They think it's clever. You'e either a child, or a not very mature adult. If you're going to call me names and swear at me at least have the balls to use the real words, you gimp c**ksucker.

                  I genuinely don't think so, but then I can't prove it. How much of what you read and accept as fact have you personally verified? Wiki is often wrong

                    well you started it by calling me a cretin! and my retort is clearly a lot more subtle than you appear to think it is.

                    "The recent election though was won by a remain supporting MP who campaigned on a remain card in a 'leave' area. None of the leave parties got anywhere near her."

                    well, as you know, and the same applies to some Conservative seats, you can put a Labour donkey up for election in Wales and they'll vote for it.

                      you "don't think so" but "can't prove it" ... I take that as a yes, you admit you made it up.
