    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    No. You haven’t linked anything to support your and Rees Mogg‘s interpretation. The framework of the GFA is that there is no border. With a border the rest is nonsense. E.g. if you feel you are Irish, you lose that feeling if you come to a border. You are guaranteed to feel Irish, British or...

    It would take away the real existing framework upon which it was made. It would no longer be accepted.

    Selmayr II May appoints new head of civil service. The previous one is not returning to work. It is her long time loyal assistant. No formal recruitment process. The opposition is not happy at the way it was done. The excuse is text book Juncker. Exactly the same excuse. „Theresa May has...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The comments I am specifically are referring to insults to EU foreigners. The Nazi comparison in the link, the Foreign Minister USSR comparison and the Mogg Mafia comparison. Now, a yes/ no question for you. Do you think these sort of comments strengthen our negotiating position with the EU? I...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Brexit has split the country. The rhetoric is getting worse. Yes, it concerns me and should concern everyone. Perhaps the rhetoric now used by British Tory politicians is fine by you. It sounds like your posts on here actually.

    Trump has just said he is a Nationalist. He is very popular with the right here.

    No, let’s stick to the clowns embarrassing the UK.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    What do you class right wing conservatives talking about the UK going it alone as? All the talk of 1066, Dunkirk spirit, how we stood alone and such, coupled with constant insults and comparisons of foreigners with Nazis and Communists certainly suggests a strong National Conservative belief...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Another example of the uneducated right wing Tories insulting foreigners. And as the article says, it was national conservatives who enabled Hitler through a coalition. The Nazis never had a democratic majority. What concerns me is that we have national conservatives in the UK Tory party and...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Part right part wrong. I am concerned about the people associated with Brexit. Extremely dodgy and untrustworthy, and the link through Bannon/ Farage to Trump, even more untrustworthy. The German right wing press is nothing compared to the Sun , Mail, Telegraph and Express. There is nothing...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    95% has been negotiated according to May. The UK is refusing to accept a backstop which 27,5 countries would be happy with. Everyone knows that the world including the EU is not perfect. The EU is an attempt to create a better system than allowed WWII to happen. Brexit isn’t there to make the...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    No we are not. You were on about a fiscal union and accused me of claiming there wasn‘t one. You now say you only meant there were fiscal restraints. Which is what I said in the first place. These relate to deficit/ borrowing and do not include taxation. Apart from a minimum VAT applying to all...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    You said that I am implying that there isn’t a fiscal union. You think there is. I have said before that many think there should be a fiscal union in the Eurozone. Including Macron. Germany doesn’t want one. Now you are trying to twist it round that you by no means were talking about a fiscal...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The Eurozone is a monetary union. All members have accepted and promised to agree to the terms of the monetary union. That was the decision. The EUC has turned a blind eye before. But, Italy is in a precarious position and at the seme time wants to break it’s agreement. Yes there are agreed...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    As part of a monetary union. Not as part of a fiscal union. There is a difference. Italy is not forced to apply the same taxes as Germany. There is no EU Finance ministry to coordinate tax. We agreed voluntarily to the minimum VAT ( which includes exceptions). But, what other taxes are covered...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    A fiscal union necessitates a unified tax system. A monetary union doesn’t. That is why it is called fiscal and not monetary. Look up fiscal in a dictionary. The answer is it is not all fiscal as it is not just about taxation. We are talking about a fiscal union and your question is not relevant...
