    and what are the latest UK net migration figures, do remind me




    Just a reminder about who is Britain`s Foreign Secretary:



    So you think we are better off handing over our migration policies to the EU along with our economy and our military?

    Do you agree that the majority of the major nations would like to devalue their currency?

    She didn't though. At the time it was anything but.

    It was Blair who took us towards Lisbon having previously promised a referendum on giving up any further powers. Brown signed as PM at the time, although didn't dare turn up to the original ceremony and sent Millipede in his place.

    A recap here.

    Perhaps you can use some examples of recent UK military adventures eg such as in Irak to make your point as to what successful international military co-operation is all about.

    The military engagement in Iraq was a total success. I know you and your ilk do not like to hear of such things but I would suggest that the British have a more successful military history than any other country. Today without the USA and Britain the EU would be easily overrun by Russia . Then you and your all your little "I am a european now w*nkers" will come screaming back demanding protection

    So that was Iraq under a Labour leader. 13 years of Labour. What a disaster. But I assume you would support it as a socialist supporter of the EU that Blair got us into without the referendum he promised us. After all, he would like to be President, wouldn't he? And he was the one who stated he would do anything he could to prevent us leaving. (I have no idea if that included a call with his judge pals or not).

    As for a recent example: well France and the UK did a decent job in Libya. Although whether the aftermath justified it is another matter altogether.



    So you would really let the EU Commission command the UK armed forces? Well, the EU did a good job with the Ukraine. The Russians were clearly terrified.

    Unfortunately we are still in it.

    The only member states wanting an EU army are the ones who think they would control it but wouldn't necessarily.

    Would you trust the likes of Juncker with an EU army?
