Off Topic ****ing Europe

[Billy Death]

Strange this EU. We have Greece,which is a broken member that has gone extremely quiet, as with Italy and Portugal; all three nearly bankrupt in this lovely family. Then there is Switzerland, surrounded by the EU, whom can do what the fek they like, or Cyprus, a great place for the Russian mafia! Belgium, maybe....completely breaking down and yet it is the seat of the EU Parliament, the Euro MP's have looked out from their ivory towers, but never thought to look down

Add in Luxenburg, a tiny country, yet with so much power, sitting pretty with all the tax they get from the likes of Google and Amazon and you have the most corrupt set of scoundrels lining their own pockets and creating a gigantic spiders nest. Cmon, look into some of these Euro MP's, some have made it their life's work, including for their families and friends; its astounding when you investigate it. Lord mendleson, Lord Kinnock and Baroness Kinnock (anyone read Animal Farm, because there it is in real life) The likes of them have allowed all this to happen and they have wormed their way into the Lords as well

The one country that spoke sense, followed the rules to the letter and wanted reform. the United Kingdom, were told to Fek off and so the Nation told them to Fek off. I actually would want to be part of a democratic and fair europe, as generally the people are fantastic......the Euro MP mafioso, not so! Before answering, try googling Jean-Claude Juncker, fekin dodgy geezer, yet President of the EU. FFS!

Yep, full of arsewipes & neverwasbeens.

Well after all the crap I've read in the last year or so, that's perhaps the most back to basics and yet so convincing post I've seen so far.

Thanks for that mate.

It think that it might have been Wills trip to Norway that reminded me that Norway is not a member of the EU.

But it's doing very nicely thank you 'on the outside looking in'.
Norway has what we want and pays for it.

It's possible that The EU may have to concede something similar whatever bluster is put up by both sides in the negotiations.
They export to us rather more than we export to them.
But basically, we need each other.
Then there is the EU Budget.
UK is one of the major contributors. Depending who's figures you read, we get back much less than we pay.
Given our GDP this is understandable, and to me at least, acceptable though the huge subsidies we contribute to French Farmers rankles more than a little.

But without our contribution the support that goes across Europe will have to reduce, substantially.

In a simplistic sense, just consider Cars.
If The EU puts up tariff barriers against cars from The UK, we can do the same to them.
BMW and Mercedes in Germany are not going to like that. Or the French, Czeck's and Spanish.
Nobody wins.
Tariff free trade though benefits everybody.

Or to put it even more simply we, The UK reverts to the Trading Agreement we originally voted for in 1972 when it was The EEC.
