I thought he was of Greek origins. However the rest of them are of Hannoverian stock - just as everyone of them before going back to Alfred the Great was of some other European origins. Come to think of it the language you are using now is mostly a mixture of French and old German. Your letters and your numbers are, I believe, also of decidedly 'Johnny Foreigner' origins. Not to mention a host of other things - such as mathematics, medicine, astronomy, your calender etc. etc. Isn't it time to cut the chord completely and go back to the life style of our Druid ancestors - but sorry, you are probably of Saxon origins yourself so it's back to good old Saxony for you I'm afraid.
Well, we have wandered a bit off track here. However, Elizabeth Windsor's family did change their name from that of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha at an earlier date - thus attempting to disguise their origins. It appears clear that she is a mixture of a lot of things - but English is not one of them. Allowing that she is related to a whole bunch of other interbred European monarchies we cannot make any real assumptions about her views on Brexit. Nor is it really important because she can't express her opinion anyway and I am personally not interested in it. It would be good to see her try to Knight Farage - who knows, her hand might slip.
I think she would prefer the 'accident' to happen to slippery Clegg or some of the other whinging democracy deniers.
How is Clegg a 'democracy denier' when your hero said this before the referendum? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nigel-farage-wants-second-referendum-7985017 PS: I don't expect you to give an honest answer, you'll probably insult France or some other unrelated rubbish.
Didn't the Irish do this a few years back till they got the "correct result" I see one of the Tweeters in that article says the Leave campaign would win by even more - is this what Farage thinks too?
Just returned from a shopping trip with a decent meal to make it less of a chore. So Farage thinks there might be good reason to hold a second referendum, ably supported by one of his paymasters. Why might this be as we know he only spins things, therefore you cannot believe what he says? 1. He seeks some limelight having become a nobody on the political scene. 2. His bank manager has asked in a kindly way how he intends to pay off his overdraft when the monthly pay cheque from the EU ceases. 3. He has had a wake up and create some havoc call from his friends in Moscow. 4. Trump has become worried that pressure to reform the NHS might prevent him getting his hands on it, so wants a diversion. 5. He wishes to split UKIP up as they don't listen to him anymore. 6. Realizes that he will go down in history as a man who swayed a country into a huge disaster. There are probably lots more, but we do know that his love of himself is uppermost in his mind.
Yes, the Irish were instructed to keep voting until the result satisfied the eurocrats. Standard EU democracy.
Number 1 - was he ever a somebody? Number 2 - shouldn't be a problem if the rumours about the size of his his pension are true - unless he has to wait until he's 67 or whatever it is these days. Number 4 - if Trump believes that Farage has the capability of creating a large enough diversion he is seriously more deluded than everyone thinks.
Number 1. SH is better equipped to answer that. Number 2. He is only 53, but the EU want to reclaim money that he used for party funding. Le Pen has been screaming ever since they did the same to her for similar reasons. They stopped paying most of her salary. Number 4. I am not sure how deluded SH thinks Trump is. See number 1. above.
Brendan O'Neill: Asking the Irish to vote again on the Lisbon treaty is ... Undemocratic EU bullies Ireland into another vote - Telegraph
The Irish were not forced to vote twice. The treaty had amendments attached to it which later became protocols until it was in such a state that the Irish voted for it. This is what referendums are for - to guage public opinion, adapt, and then test again once the necessary changes have been made. Exactly the same thing happened when the Wallonians voted against CETA - it was adapted with safeguards which addressed exactly the problems which the elecorate were worried about - until it was acceptable to them. It makes sense to do it this way if one country can block the other 27 on something.
Very interesting - but it doesn't change the price of fish. The Irish government could have chosen to respect the will of its people and failed to do so.
I agree the Guardian is extremely biased most of the time but this article explained the usual undemocratic methods used by the eurocrats bullying governments into submission and totally ignoring the will of the people, dreadful bunch of crooks.
It was actually a natural reflex action to presume it came from a comic based on the history of the poster behind it - in this case I jumped too soon
