As I say, you cannot compare.

Britain is not a disaster area and was doing well when we voted for Brexit. It was a leading EU country. The problem was not Britain‘s economy, but wealth distribution, infrastructure not keeping up with the amount of traffic, not enough housing and real wages not rising for the poor etc etc...

The weaker pound is good for me and many others. Watching city has become cheaper for example. The beer and cider that I import from the UK is in effect cheaper. I am still not in favour of the UK leaving as I am not that selfish. Crashing the UK is not good for the UK or EU - I agree on that. I...

We have proportional representation here. It is rare that anyone wins outright. Are you saying Gernans should never accept an election result because no one wins outright? Germany is far more democratic than the UK, and for that reason we don’t have national referenda - they are too easy for...

The so called silent majority have inflicted a home defeat on the UK with a massive own goal. The others see a disorganized internally fighting government at odds with each other trying to carry out a stupid mandate which they don’t actually agree with. Chances of a successful outcome = 0.

No. It’s almost like all government failures were blamed on the EU and Brexit happened.

Why don’t you stand for election? You seem to know a lot..

There are loads of people becoming EU citizens- including Farage‘s children. Many of them students and people with something to offer such as scientists. The UK cannot afford to lose such people. The leavers - example which Bazza quoted „ Chatham postal workers „ - are chomping at the bit for...

Housing is a profitable business over a longer period. It could bring returns. The need is now. After Brexit the pressure will be off- according to Astute and co..

Yes, great, all for that. But. When the vote is around 50:50 for a major change and is based on false information, then we have a problem. Referenda are paradise for populists. We have a parliamentary system which should debate and decide. And something as crucial as EU membership should be...

The problem is supply. Demand is there but the government doesn’t build social housing anymore.

To form a government she has to have a coalition. The liberals and greens have over 20% between them. There are also a few % from the CSU. If they agree to form a government they have more than 50% and Merkel is chancellor - which is likely. If not it’s new elections.

Saw Fulham not long after..Johnny Haynes still playing, in the third division against Barrow AFC in Barrow. Barrow now long gone.

London is a booming wealthy city. Seems like you’re arguing for more immigration.

How could anyone do a poll on intelligence? Any poll is based on academic qualifications because there are no records on intelligence and any way of measuring intelligence would be disputed anyway. It would be interesting to know how people running their own business in their 50s or 60s voted...

Probably as that is what a lot people do here on the continent.

According to reports there were 800 people treated at the hospitals A & e of which 4 were to do with police violence.

That’s what he is saying. Both sides have got to get back to the table.

Merkel is not taking Germany out of the EU. May is responsible for the most important international negotiations concerning the future of the UK since WWII. A big difference.

Do you ever consider that there may be two sides to a story? Not all Catalonians want independence. We would only know the real feelings if it were a free and fair vote. To get that they have to act in accordance with the Spanish and the Catalonian Constitution/ Law. It may be impossible under...
