    Really? Let's see what happens when we sign a deal with Trump's USA.

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

    That is the same everywhere in modern society.... for example, I am sitting here checking through my time schedules for all my part time staff - which has to do with the minimum wage. A big company would have a compliance department to deal with all this. I doubt whether you will find a...

    Well yes, you would sign a bad trade deal if you were an isolated country with little other choice...

    Maybe countries would retaliate and impose tariffs on our goods. No?

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

    No government or local authority has money by that definition, but it is common practice to put their name on things which they build. It is nothing unique for the EU. It is to show that they are doing something with the money they have received and you could argue that it shows transparency. It...

    Yes, and being a great believer in freedom of expression, he would never dream of insulting people with a different view to himself.....

    Actually, the AfD attracts people who hate Merkel like yourself. EDL and the like would be there at demonstrations, but people like yourself may well be discreetly putting their cross next to their candidates. Most AfD supporters are not violent yobs, but are angry citizens getting their own...

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

    What about free movement? Protection of minorities? European Court of Human Rights? The majority in most, if not all, other EU countries want to remain - according to polls. Britain is in the minority. Britain only just voted no and there is a small majority in favour of remain in one recent...

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

    If you read my posts you would see that I keep saying that - against the people who seem to think that it is solely the EU. The UKIP is a temporary phenomenon and a convenient docking place for the UK extreme right - in the general anti foreigner ( as in EU foreigners) atmosphere and for the...

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

    Point 1. Yes, that's what I said. I specified that in Kiel they got 6,9% and in my ward 3,4%. It is a regional phenomenon. ( Worse in the East than in the West ). Point 2. They destroyed the BNP. It's members defected to UKIP - a single issue right wing party. The reason being that the priority...

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

    The nationalism in the U.K. concentrates itself on the EU - and muslims. These are the enemies of the plucky Brits who fought against the Third Reich and are sure as hell not going to give in to Mad Merkel's Fourth Reich in Brussels. The EU is guilty of letting millions of Muslims, including...

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

    The rise in right wing nationalism in the UK is not solely because of the leave campaign, but it has a lot to do with it. In Germany it has little to do with the EU. It is largely the refugee crisis and the handling of it. Another angle is the hate mongering against the USA bias of the system...

    So the EU puts no money in? The plaque requirement seems normal to me.

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

    A Faragism is virtually anything that turns everything into "why the EU is bad". It is getting beyond a joke. The EU is not solely responsible for bigotry and nationalism. Another example of a Brexiteer viewpoint. In fact the idea is to get away from that e.g. to protect minorities. People like...

    Theresa May has more support from the uk electorate than Merkel in Germany No. - and nothing to do with the EU. The far right vote in the western areas of Germany has doubled since the last election Could well be - I haven't checked - and nothing to do with the EU. A million voters switched...

    Yes there are things that need changing - but not everything is wrong.

    I don't defend everything - I just point out where you are quoting things that are not factually true. It may seem like that if there are a lot of "misconceptions" flying around.
