    There’s never been anything tangible, Col. I don’t blame you for running away.

    Sadiq Khan’s Environment Tsar Racks up 54,000 Air Miles on Long-Haul Junkets
    please log in to view this image

    Sadiq Khan’s latest attempt to try to ingratiate himself with the increasingly disruptive eco-loony movement is to announce that he’ll be closing 20 kilometres of roads across London for an entire “car-free day” in September. The man whose job is literally to keep the roads open is closing them for a publicity stunt…
    Instead of inconveniencing millions of Londoners to virtue signal to people who glue themselves to trains, Sadiq could start by reining in his own Deputy Mayor for Environment, Shirley Rodrigues, who turns out to be rather fond of overseas jaunts on Mayoral business. Since being appointed in 2016, Rodrigues has racked up over 54,000 air miles on numerous long-haul trips to far-flung destinations including Mexico City, Bengaluru, San Francisco and three trips to New York, pumping out over 14 tonnes of CO2 in the process.

    As usual it’s one rule for our pious eco-overlords, another rule for the rest of us…

    Are you honestly saying peace in Europe is down to the EU ?

    Being someone of the Far Left, what I despise about the EU is the fact that so many privileged rich old men are able to make fortunes out of the beast that it has become.
    While the poor in Europe suffer, they feed like pigs at a trough, skimming enough money to feed their fat faces and top up their pension funds.

    Is that a good enough answer ?

    When I asked something similar, I think I got a response of lightbulbs and hoovers, something like that anyway! The question you post does genuinely interest me. I dont see anything wrong with being a member of the EU. I am fascinated as to what problems people really face on a daily, weekly or monthly basis regarding being a member of the EU.

    Could apply to both mate, but 2 evils don’t make good.
    The EU could be a good thing if it was willing to reform....but let’s not kid ourselves, it won’t.....too many get rich from it.

    I think what you despise is found worldwide in varying degrees sadly. And in regard to the bigger picture the EU has surely contributed to relatively peaceful times.

    Just ‘cos it’s found elsewhere surely doesn’t make it ok to continue ?

    I disagree that the EU has had much contribution to peace....just my opinion but if you can tell me otherwise I’m happy to listen

    They want the dream of Churchill back imo
    Some vision of Britain that hasn’t really ever existed.

    It’s just about coming to terms to many imo
    Hence the anger and frustration

    I can’t understand what people want to return to
    It must be a bygone dream as their is still no plan from anyone. Sovereignty my arse the people of the U.K. are totally unable to make any decisions why? blame culture imo plus we totally split

    In the last three years we have already slipped in wealth and no much has been done on other issues like running a country. Everything is stripped down to the bone how the the U.K. can suddenly come together and unite is a bloody dream

    WW1 WW2. Both started in Europe. The EU has created an area where it's people, goods, services intermingle freely, and it has helped make starting military conflict within pretty f***** stupid, as well as inhumane.
