They, the 27, will reduce the budget and increase the contributions to cover our exit. „They“ until next year are us. We had over 70 MEPs and membership of the EU council. The EU is not a foreign body. Many right wing people on the internet are also saying that asylum seekers register at the...

I think a close union is the only way. I don’t think 28 nation states will get us any further than it did in the past. 1945 was the final proof that 28 plus nation states putting themselves first will inevitably lead to disaster in Europe. Just to speeden things up, we have Putin and the inept...

Suspect that Bitcoin will fail as it is the first really big alternative. It will soon be outdated, but the idea of an international payment system independent of government policy will prevail.

Tories are bashing themselves. No need to even loook. Brexit is discrediting itself. Not long ago it was 'sailing into a glorious sunset', now it is 'will have to face some hard facts', 'life will be different', 'ok short term it will be worse', or at best 'the EU will suffer as well'..... I...

The Parson‘s Nose has to be it. „One all in“. Farmer Giles... „Steak and Kidney Pie... „plenty gravy“... Nello‘s... The Climax... The Locarno.. DJ Pete Waterman ( more than three ;-) )

Not suited for youth? It doesn’t work? No country has left and I doubt whether any will. People want to join the Euro. They want the purchasing power of a stable currency. The Brexiteers want it to fail, but the people with it in their pocket don’t. You can see the inflation caused by the Brexit...

No. Nigel is firmly on the side of the bullshitter in chief and speaking at his rallies ( CPAC ). The article says things are getting better and doesn’t mention the youth blaming the EU. We have crap papers here, but nothing as bad as the Mail, Sun or Express to make people angry against the EU.

Yes. The stories that abound here are incredible. Farage has been saying for a while that Britain is the exception and that the youth in the EU is against the EU. Someone on his LBC asked him where he got that information. He dodged the question and took another call. If I told my daughter (...

I don’t get the Heil Mart bit. I just said if you break the constitution ( e.g. to make deportation easier ) you would be following in the footsteps of the third Reich. As when Himmler started executing people from Dachau ( 1934 I think ) without trial as it was easier. Anyway what did you...

No it doesn’t. If you are not happy take it up with the countries as they are the ones that ratified all decisions. They could have used article 50 if they thought that was a sensible option. No other country was that stupid. Some countries such as Ireland, made adjustments before a second vote.

Yes. Of course. But... if you stick to the law or consider humanity it is not so easy. What do you do with people with no papers, whose country is a war zone, or who are being persecuted ( e.g. gays in some countries)? Some countries don’t want these people back and refuse them entry. There are...

I see that 28 currencies in the same market place going up and down against each other and being traded at a high cost is inefficient and expensive. In the long run one market with one currency is the only way forward. As in the USA or the United Kingdom. Nobody would suggest 50 states with 50...

Yes, bullshit and disinformation is working. Which is why Bannon went to Italy to suss out the atmosphere. Brexit and Trump are ridiculous results and the „good“ trade wars which may arise are economic insanity, as is Brexit. People voting for chaos and against their own interests. Anyone not in...

Italy were in the wrong currency with the lira. That’s why they joined the euro. The med countries were always a problem. People didn’t want them in the Euro because they feared them weakening it. Seems like they are weakening it. The euro isn’t the problem though, it is the way these countries...

Yes, and with Austria setting the agenda this year, the EU will no doubt be working on harder external borders and a common immigration policy which may go someway to easing the tensions.

Trump is leading the right wing wave. He has proved it possible. A semi literate populist leading the most powerful western country. The reason for this rise in Europe is the aftermath of the financial crisis and growing divergence between rich and poor coupled with a fall off of jobs for life...

No. The Italian youth largely ignored the election. The campaigns were targeted at older voters. Hence more right wing.

It doesn’t prevent extremism. It is democratic. Unfortunately the populists are selling blue skies and a lot of disillusioned people are buying it.... at the moment. Up to Macron and Merkel to steer the ship clear of the rocks. Tragic that people have forgotten why the idea of a united Europe...

€6,00 a pint of Guinness or €5,00 for 0,4l ( easier on the change ) on my events...

We will have out sovereignty and our blue passports whatever happens. Farage will be happily giving speeches in the US. I wonder if he would leg it to the US permanently if things go pear shaped in the UK? If after his „no more mister nice guy“ second referendum which, by the time that happens...
