If you remember @Welshie regarding Macron, I did say not too long ago his Mrs needs to give him another smack in the mouth.
Honestly, at this point I have accepted that the UK is just a US puppet and I am personally just happy that at least we do it the best out of the rest. I look at these other countries, Italy, France, Russia and they have no idea how the modern world is man, they pretend to be something, they're nothing- what the **** is Italy? It's a holiday destination. Putin, he walks around sniffing Xi's farts. The UK and Germany are the ones who knows what its all about, we know our place. Does anyone on here want our tax payers money going on troops standing about overseas pretending to do something, as Saf says, sell em guns and make bank.
We’ve always been a puppet to the US. I don’t believe we were always a laughing stock and looking this weak on the international stage to the rest of the world, though.
I agree with you, we need to stop getting involved in all these wars, because at a later date when they rock up at our shores, we get accused of what we did in the past. We've received no help whatsoever with these migrants, so we should be the same with other borders, protect them yourselves. We've tried reasonable, Keir has tried being the diplomat, and in return what did we get tariffs on steel. Some of the stuff the EU do, if it was Trump it would be called bullyboy tactics. I've no problem with a common market, but it shouldn't become the monopoly of Brussels. No more than we would accept supermarket monopolies on our shores, even though they like to push the boundaries. The world is just rife with greed at the moment, so maybe we need to start being that little more selfish.
I think some people like how certain Prime Ministers front themselves to the international media, with Thatcher and Blair being good at it. But from 1950 - Thatcher we were particularly weak and a joke. After Blair I think they've all tried but probably only Cameron came across as really sensible with Johnson being a bit of a meme. It's also perspective, I think Farage no matter what will be a massive hated joke in Europe, but Yanks will ****ing love him. PMs who are popular in Europe sometimes get heat in America, Starmer is more liked in Europe than the US.
Whoa bro, Cameron's a **** because of him my retirement age went up, and @Archers Road ^ tell him Archie.
I think Cameron was a terrible PM mate ye preaching to the choir George his Chancellor didn't have a ****ing clue
