    How ironic that the German-run EU has to face an opponent called Hermann!

    He looks like Nigel Farage's Celtic cousin

    Bob we don't need to go over the same stuff mate. Freedom was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment. Breaking free from the rules of Brussels. Our country is big and ugly enough to stand on its own two feet. We don't need some unelected crooks from Brussels telling us what we can and can't do.

    People need to distinguish between the EU and Europe. The EU is a corrupt organisation governed by individuals with agendas for certain businesses from certain countries.
    Did you not read that newspaper article I posted? Seriously, how can anyone not want to question things that go on in the EU?

    Don't take my word for it just ask yourself some simple questions.
    Why did 17M vote for Brexit? We can't all be thick uneducated racists.
    Why did Italy turn it's back on the pro-EU party?
    Why has Sweden turned the tables on the pro-EU party?
    Why did Austria have the biggest right-wing vote since Hitler?
    Look at the problems in Germany and how Merkel lost power.
    Even Macron said if France had a vote they would leave the EU. <yikes>

    It's gone far beyond those muppets waving the flags at the Proms. We seriously need to get out before it all comes tumbling down.

    Italian government basically said the same Goldie. They can't believe it hasn't changed since we voted to leave. If newspaper reports from Italy are to be believed I can see them leaving in the near future, then it will be game over.

    There may be a competition between Italy and Sweden as to who is first, Ellers. The EU needs to change its model.

    When I was a young member of the Anti Nazi League I flyposted this.
    It’s a picture of the Warsaw Ghetto.

    Today Labour activists are defending - even celebrating - someone who vandalised one of its remaining walls.

    It’s been a long way down.

    UK GDP grows 0.3% in July vs. 0.2% forecast
    Investing.com - The UK economy grew at a faster pace in July with the rolling three months figure showing its fastest expansion in nearly a year, according to data released on Monday.
    The Office of National Statistics said the economy grew 0.6% in the three months to July, picking up from the meager 0.4% expansion seen previous month.
    Rolling three-month growth in July was the highest since August 2017.
    Month-on-month, GDP increased by 0.3% in July, picking up from the prior month's 0.1% growth and beating consensus expectations for an expansion of 0.2%.
    ONS head of GDP Rob Kent-Smith indicated that services grew particularly strongly while retail sales performed well, boosted by warm weather and the World Cup.
    He also noted the bounce in the construction sector after a weak start to the year.
    “The dominant service sector again led economic growth in the month of July with engineers, accountants and lawyers all enjoying a busy period, backed up by growth in construction, which hit another record high level,” Kent-Smith commented.
    “However, production fell back, with manufacturing again slipping a little while energy generation and supply fell due to reduced demand,” he added.

    The GDP Rate (4.2%) is higher than the Unemployment Rate (3.9%) for the first time in over 100 years!

    Could there be any better example of Brussels excess? This eurocrat eclair from the commission canteen is huge and just two euros (thank you taxpayers). It also looks delicious.pic.twitter.com/6k04hQXfuk

    I think you’ll find that’s ‘fake news’ being used to smear the Labour Party and the far left as anti Semitic.

    I see that Barny is taking a softer approach to Brexit?
    Is this because they know that May is a dead woman walking and they want to have that crap chequers deal in place before someone strong takes over?
    What a mess to be in...<doh>
