    Bon voyage! Better than the German „gute Fahrt!“.

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

    That is the difference between proportional representation and fptp. In Europe you would have had some representation. One of the Democratic deficiencies of the UK. They don’t even elect the head of the civil service.

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

    In the 30s there were Welsh ex miners ( including my grandfather) , in the 50s and 60s it was the „paddies“. Then the Caribeans, Kenyan and Ugandan Asians and so on and so on... I cannot remember there being so little affordable housing being built ( but I live abroad and could be wrong). But...

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

    Yes. It is going vaguely as I predicted. I would have thought there would be more resentment in Scotland though, but they need us to support them. I predicted Ireland as the big problem in an interview in German TV on the day after the vote. I also got newspaper headlines by declaring the vote...

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

    France was always a bureaucratic centralised state. All roads lead to Paris. They work fewer hours than many and always drop everything for the 1. May and generally for „Midi“ which can last 2 hours. They need some reforms to compete in the global economy. Some won’t like that. Nothing to do...

    Or not wedded to European cooperation in the interest of peace and trade. The worst party for having gravytrainers and dippers is actually UKIP who were only there for the beer and their own anti EU agenda.

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

    Of course we wanted to continue trading with the rest of the world. We still trade with the rest of the world. We wanted to have more bargaining power by being in a trading bloc and wanted the City to be the financial centre of Europe and the world. A far cry from the petty minded „proud...

    No. We wanted the single market. We helped appoint Juncker by taking part in the democratic electoral college. We accepted the result.

    Not from me you haven’t. You mix with some strange remainers.

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

    I repeat, we should do something about it. Leaving the EU could cause a drop in GDP and therefore tax returns. A trade war caused by Trump could really screw us and the world economy up.

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

    We helped write the rules. We weren’t interested in making outside Deals at the time. That is not the idea of a trading bloc.

    Remainers certainly don’t care. It is just another amusing story to add to the collection of leave fxxk ups and things not properly thought through. The boat fxxk up was funny too. Brightens up my coffee break. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s laugh.

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

    I have said that we must build affordable housing and care places for the elderly. More money for the NHS and education and chase tax dodging hedge funds or billionaires to fund it. Won’t happen as we are doing what the super rich want and going to become a low tax hideaway off the coast of...

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

    We were in the EU when it was agreed not to allow individual deals outside of the EU. We were great supporters of the CU and single market. At that time we didn’t think anyone would be stupid enough to leave these institutions.

    Similar story to mine, with a bit more added on in my case. I don’t want they UK taking rights from me or your sister.

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

    What is fake? The EU not allowing members to sign deals or people claiming they will make deals straight away, or that people are queuing up to make deals, or that Trump will give us a great deal, or Fox talking about easy deals?
