    Oh come on off of your high horse, Theresa May has made it clear that if the EU don't cave in to her ridiculous demands for a quickfire pro-corporate trade deal, the Tory government will set about turning the UK into a low-skill, low-tech, low-wage, low-welfare, low-regulation corporate tax haven in retaliation.

    It's the diplomatic equivalent of a toddler shrieking that if they don't get the whole tub of ice cream they'll smash up their own bedroom, and then the adults will all be sorry.

    Surely the EU Crown Jewels are in Brussels and Strasbourg?

    Are you saying that you only agree a contract after every individual piece of work has been detailed to you precisely? Because if you do, then that sounds like supervision and direction.

    Well, since most of it is true...
    I'd be interested to hear which bit you disagree with. No, on second thoughts, I'm not sure I would.

After forty years of English culture which mostly consists of repeating "two World Wars and one World Cup" at them ad nauseum, they're glad to see the back of you.

    It's a wonder the UK won as many concessions as it did, when each time you gains another one you still moaned and whinged about it. "Whinging bloody Poms" suits you well.
    Well for starters, the voting system for the European Parliament "sent them Farage" and a few other UKIP representatives. That's simply what you get with PR. Some fringe loonies (on all sides) are bound to get in. Why do you think the Lib Dems are so keen on it?
    And if they're truly "glad to see the back of us", that makes me happy, because I'm twice as glad to see the back of them.

    To be fair before we sent UKIP we did send over serious politicians.

    Well the EU are only asking for certain items to be cleared up before they begin, don't you sort out your rate before starting on a contract? Anyway, it has to be paid otherwise Farage and the rest of the kipper cretins won't get their EU pensions
