    You mean "the world"?


    We've had control of our borders, we never gave it up. It was another bit of BS from Vote Leave that some mugs bought into.

    Indeed, EU has attacked Ukraine and annexed Crimea and part of mainlane on border with Russia.

    Birtain must exit EU as soon as possible before they annex Isle of Man!

    Of course he's going to talk it up. He isn't the most honest of politicians out there.

    actually from Johnson onwards we get to share those idiots with the EU. Obviously you will expect us to clean up after you when the EU cocks it up!

    Normally I decide some things based on who supports them. The EU we have Juncker, Merkel, Hollande, B'Liar, B'ruin, Kinnock & the Krankies King & Fish. Now does it seem like a bad idea?

Still, they must be good for something, or our Scots friends wouldn't be wetting their pants to stay in. Can't for the life of me see what that might be, but I'll keep looking...
