The wall came down because communism was bankrupt. There was a mis communication about opening the border, but the fact that tanks didn’t roll is down to no decision or leadership on the situation coming from Moscow. The Soviet Union was bankrupt and Gorbatschow had already told the DDR that...

Good morning. I have said we voted 2:1 in 1975 to stay in the then common market. I voted knowing we were going to move closer. I knew we weren’t voting solely for a trade deal. The lies told by leave are common knowledge and some of the worst predictions of remain have yet to happen or may...

I suspect we shall find out whether it has delivered sooner rather than later....

She is obviously not Europhile enough then. If she were, she would not have accepted the job of taking us out of the largest trading bloc in the world. That should have been given to the buffoon, mince and/ or Fox. She has given them an out by being in charge during Brexit.

Apropos anti democratic bile... what happened to the ability to say „we’ve changed our mind“? If Brexit is not what people thought it was, then they should have at least a vote on any deal. We got into this by an advisory referendum and we should have the chance to reassess it based on what we...

The EU is not our empire. As the population increases through other countries joining, our „weighting“ as a percentage falls. I have no problem with that and would not expect to have an unfair advantage. Because of the increased number of countries, getting unanimous decisions becomes more...

Many cannot articulate what they exactly wanted and spew clichés.

I have no problem with FOM and we are not in Schengen. The open borders are in the Schengen area. We have border controls. I am in favour of strengthening the external borders of the EU.

Actually, Adolf Hitler saw the problem of competing nation states. He said that there would always be wars because of this. ( Source Mein Kampf ). His solution was to aim for military domination and therefore enforce German ineterests through military threat. The same as Trump is doing e.g...

Would you like to vote again, this time based on an informed opinion and not as an advisory referendum? Or would you prefer no debate, no fact based vote and just rely on your Nazi based form of democracy?

From your upside down perspective, maybe you would think that, but seeing as you class Merkel as a Nazi I wouldn’t take too much notice of your opinions.

How do you think Americans view make America great again? It is a federation as is Switzerland. In fact it seems we are the ones who have a problem with the word „federal“. I don’t, I already live in a federation. You seem to think not living in a federation is some sort of paradise. The EU...

It wasn’t me that was pushing the argument that we were conned into joining the common market. I was just answering other people. I wasn’t conned and have seen things evolve over 40 years. I don’t buy the „we didn’t know“ bullshit. Our elected governments knew what they were signing up to...

Exactly what is sovereignty? Is it a part of a country being overruled by another country in the eyes of around 50% of the NI people? Anyway, I wasn’t the one talking crap about sovereignty and missing the point that the majority in NI voted remain. Seems democratic votes and sovereignty only...

I knew the common market meant moving closer together and wasn’t just a trade deal. I knew that communism wasn’t working. The wall in Germany was a clue. Successful countries, states, trade blocs have to build walls to keep people out. Don’t judge other people’s intelligence by your own low...

What? BBC thinks the earth is 6000 years old and gays are sinners? The BBC is nothing like the crazies you quoted. They don’t want a United Ireland or a sea border or customs union. They use the word sovereignty to imply that Northern Iteland has sovereignty through Westminster. Plenty would say...

Does the author belong to a party that rejected the a GFA and does he have an agenda which is why he is telling porkies or „alternative facts“?
