Says the gender-confused bremainer that thinks Barnstaple is in South Devon.

Says the Scottish drunk who has delusions that he can afford to live in South Devon on his disability allowance.

I do rather admire how you are so proud of your ignorance.

Jealousy can be a really unhealthy thing.

Content yourself that your lean-to in the peat bogs is still going to remain in the EU in 2 years time.

Since the rather excellent Fatherland is on this list, I'm assuming that "counterfactual history" is basically "alternative history" (in this case what would have happened if Germany had won the war.)
The poor old Northern tart must have her wires crossed, I haven't a clue as to what she's on about, and sadly there isn't an option on Google Translate for "Cretinous fantasist ramblings" to "English".

Of course you haven't a clue - you're not expected to.

How do you know that the EU has had zero contribution to world peace, when you don't know what the counterfactual is?
