Good ones

the irony

a paper from a country that doesn't have a constitution

an empire that kept this country under their boot for centuries, and still has a monarch as head of state

a place where millions of people marching against a needless war are ignored

Not sure you should be encouraging us to buy from UK based online retailers given that of we don't spend our Euros in Ireland the promised "Recovery" is going to take an awful lot longer.

Hope this trend continues as the cost of buying in Ireland is still far too high. Go Euro!

it just shows what happens when a country continues to print money like there is no tomorrow, which is a form of stealth tax
all people in UK got taxed 30% of the wealth and are 30% poorer

im delighted we are not tied to them anymore!




I find it amusing that the NO side did and continues to reference British newspapers
shouldnt you be on a plane now to rejoin your fellow eurosceptics and be ruled by the queen?
the day Sinn Fein sided with the like of UKIP is the day the NO campaign lost the vote of many of people

The UK does have a constitution, and has had one since Magna Carta was signed. It has evolved over time, and does not exist as a single codified document.

The greater irony is that under the UK constitution it is parliament that is sovereign, and not the people. We have a right to a referendum on questions like ratifying Lisbon, because they involve matters of sovereignty; the people of the UK do not have that right.

Holding a referendum on the question in the UK is constitutional nonsense but, of course, nonsense has never been an obstacle to politicians.

:pac::pac: Just like Europe, it doesn't have a constitution or at least thats what the French and Dutch are being told.

And wouldn't we have saved oursleves a whole lot of bother as a nation if we just honoured the 1800 act of Union as ultimately the UK our biggest trading 'partner' will have the final say on the treaty of Lisbon.

Millions marching that was just an ill informed minority of the population which in no way represented the views of the United Kingdom:pac:

That's a bit like saying the day the Yes campaign sided with Michael O'Leary is the day the No campaign won some No votes.

Is it not a little tiresome to continue peddling the argument that all No campaigners are euroskeptics? Maybe the Yes campaigners and vorets should all hop on a Ryanair flight to Germany so they can really be at the heart of Europe.

BTW is Mrs Windsor just as eligible for the position as Mrs. Robinson or Mr Blair?

at least the Germans make better cars and beers

anyways this is going offtopic now
