Reply to: One thread to sum up Brexit

[9times5]

A bit of wishful thinking but let me indulge in this ideal outcome of a Leave result - both Cameron and Osbourne's positions become untenable. I'm not so fussed about whether Boris challenges Cameron for the leadership, but if Osbourne resigns then hopefully his successor will have a different tack with the issue of APN's.

I know, very wishful thinking there.

Plenty of other wingnuts share your critique of the site. And if you read the article you may understand that your inference is incorrect.

The clear implication of the phrase "crazier Eurosceptics" is that the author assumes that all Eurosceptics are crazy but some are even crazier.

So much for the impartiality of this pretentiously and/or deceitfully named "rational Wiki".

At the end of the day, it is just some obsessively industrious guy's opinions on this that and the other, and he (or possibly she) is conceited enough to think they are all a collective corpus, and the very epitomy, of rationality.

It's a conspiracy theory when there's no evidence of it being supported.

Bravo, Sir.

True

False, as I mentioned earlier. This army, would it be based in Brussels and have maybe 25+ member states? I wonder if such a thing exists today.

False. The "unelected" may come up with ideas, but they all have to be discussed and voted for by the democratically elected parliament.

For someone whining about a lack of concrete evidence on the Brexit side, you seem pitifully eager to believe and dogmatically assert everything on the Remain side just because some EU functionary "said so" or because that's how things are now.

Your assumptions are built on sand.

[WTFH]

The EU is clearly not the EEC, which Britain signed up for.

True.

It's a conspiracy theory when there's no evidence of it being supported.

The EU is clearly not the EEC, which Britain signed up for. It's clearly a super state with it's own (planned) army and it's own unelected decision makers, centralised and all controlling.

The fact that anyone cannot see what it is and what it is moving towards is clearly brainwashed and blinkered.

Eurosceptic - RationalWiki

Euroscepticism is found on both sides of the political spectrum, usually combined with some form of nationalism. Mainstream politicians usually want the terms of their own countries' membership revised in the national interest. Left-wing Eurosceptic groups oppose it as a capitalist entity, while others, mainly on the right, believe that the EU is deliberately destroying their own nation, its sovereignty, and its culture, and reject the EU entirely. Euroscepticism is a feature of some wingnut conspiracy theories, such as Eurabia, and crazier Eurosceptics often use the acronym EUSSR, and images of the EU flag modified to look like the Soviet flag:
