The EU is the peacekeeper, in case you haven't noticed.

I noticed NATO providing the peace that you are alluding to.

Not sure what that means but they seemed to be the Slav version of the glc.

Brexit would have made sense if it had happened about 5-7 years ago
Now every single town of England is full of eastern europeans and other immigrants
and in order to extract a good brexit deal , govt can not expel immigrants, so there is no point of brexit now.

There are no benefits of brexit now but only negatives like job losses, economic loss and trade restrictions.
Talk about closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Just as a point here, I am ashamed by your fear for your daughter being beaten up in school because you are Polish. It isn't even 80 years since Britain stood shoulder to shoulder with Poland at the outbreak of World War 2. Brexit Britain is supposed to be about expanding our world view rather than being confined to the fortress that is the European Union. It seems there is a racist minority that, quite frankly, can piss off to the Principality of Sealand if they want an island fortress free from anyone 'different'.

Daily events getting no coverage whatsoever. Even behind closed doors for couples that were happily married for years before this referendum.

What does that even mean? What "peacekeeper" are you talking about?

The EU is the peacekeeper, in case you haven't noticed.

"On 9 May 1950, the French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman (on the basis of a text prepared by Schuman's colleagues Paul Reuter and Bernard Clappier working with Jean Monnet, Pierre Uri and Etienne Hirsch) made his Schuman declaration at the Quai d'Orsay,. He proposed that: "Franco-German production of coal and steel as a whole be placed under a common High Authority, within the framework of an organisation open to the participation of the other countries of Europe." Such an act was intended to help economic growth and cement peace between France and Germany, who had previously been longtime enemies. Coal and steel were particular symbolic as they were the resources necessary to wage war. It would also be a first step to a "European federation"
"

I'm not saying Britain does not get involved in the fighting on the right side, but it currently behaves in a way that suggests it likes peace, just not the peacekeeper.

What does that even mean? What "peacekeeper" are you talking about?

Not sure it will help...

I am sure it does not help to rely on the partisan nonsense that the Grauniad spews out to serve their mealy-mouthed agenda.
Let's just wait and see how the negotiations pan put before we reach 40000 feet shall we?

Jesus wept, you really do have an overdeveloped sense of guilt don't you?

Britain entered both world wars in order to stand behind Belgium(WWI) and then Poland(WWII).

Millions of our forefathers were killed and injured in doing so yet a sanctimonious little c0cksocket like you can't wait to wring your slimy hands in mock grief.

Take a good look at yourself you muppet!

It even makes threats that if it does not get its way, there will be consequences. Fortunately someone has realised how it is seen on the continent and sent BJ to the rescue. Not sure it will help...

Britain bailing out of that sends a clear message that peace on the European continent is not one of the British permanent interests.

I could have been more careful in my choice of words... let's try again... "Britain sends a clear message that membership of the political organisation designed to maintain peace on the European continent is not aligned with British permanent interests." Better?

[northernladyuk]

No, they do not. On top of that they do like a good punch-up with Europe burning in the background. The EU project is built on the idea that close cooperation and interdependency will prevent the bloodbaths of the past. Britain bailing out of that sends a clear message that peace on the European continent is not one of the British permanent interests.

And France cares about others? Germany? Of course not.

As they say in diplomatic circles: Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests.

They vote in a Conservative Government, at least where I come from they do.

And isn't this an example of the democratic deficit of representative democracy? The Conservative Party cares passionately about the status of NI in the union. I doubt the English electorate cares at all.
