    There could not be a more despicable politicians in the world at the moment than Juncker, Verhofstadt and Mutti. An axis of true Evil if ever there was.

    I'm just so glad we have benevolent leaders like Farage, JRM and Raab to show us the way.

    This thread was getting boring.

    Thankfully there's a bit of Irexit to liven up the place :rolleyes:

    What are you on about lad? Absolute rubbish.
    So if you don't understand something (the EU in your case) you just go ahead and make up whatever you like? Brexit is for you so.

    In the pantheon of political crises, where would we place this? Seems worse than the political crisis that surrounded our bailout, but not quite up there with the Greek one

    Tusk has done right, cut her time. she given the full answer from the EU by Friday no reason for not going back to the HoC next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,085 ✭✭✭theguzman


    It is a huge political crisis for the EU because the Franco/German empire is crumbling before their eyes and all attempts to bully and subjugate UK have failed and in words of the Rt. Hon Rev Ian Paisley there will be "No Surrender" and Arlene Foster has stood fast to that and I am sure the big guy himself would be proud of her on that. Verhofstad and Junker should realize that they will never break the Unionists in the way they destroyed the Greeks and the Southern Irish Government here.

    Here comes Tony.

    I can only imagine the conversations that are going on amongst the EU leaders right now...

    What are you on? (Substances)

    The EU is not stopping UK leaving, just rightly telling them they may not have access to the club like the paid up members have.

    Seriously.

    Don't bother even replying to it. Utter nonsense.

    Any comment on those Unionists slowly edging towards a United Ireland. Tick Tock.

    Mr Robbins goes to Brussels:

    OR: I'm here to seek "clarification" on the Backstop.
    EU: The Backstop is the backstop.
    OR: Grand so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,079 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how

    In Ukraine, they use their fists within parliament to communicate their views quite regularly. Kind of like a game of interactiv charades.

    They have done so also in Italy from time to time.

    The EU have more to lose than the UK and the UK will mobilise patriotism take to hit rather than capitulate, they are a proud nation with a history of standing up to Dictators like this. The EU's treatment of the UK will only embolden countries like Italy and I would not be surprised to see an alternative to the EU forming shortly similar to how the EU was 25 years ago with a loose trading only bloc, Germany and France will of course be excluded. Nationalism and Patriotism is on the rise and with current moves in Asia and the ongoing trade war between the United States and China, more countries in the Visegrad region will move to leave the EU, which will flounder in the coming economic crisis anyway.

    They might get a bit of explanatory text like we did with Lisbon. Unfortunately the issues they have are actually in the treaty, where as the issues we law with Lisbon were mostly spurious

    How was the UK treated badly? I never understand it when Brexiters say this so I'd be delighted if you could spell it out for me.

    I was watching this in the background, but did May discuss ejaculation their?:P

    I honestly thought that this was an attempt by you at low grade humour, but no, you're right. From the Guardian live feed
    British politics has finally cut all links with normality and drifted off into absurdity. In the Commons a moment ago Labour’s Rupa Huq described the decision to call off the vote as an act of “premature parliamentary ejaculation”. In response, Theresa May said that, if Huq were to look carefully, she would see that May is not capable of premature ejaculation.

    God knows what they make of this nonsense in Brussels ...

    Can you think of any nation within the EU that is not proud and has not had to stand up for what they believe in over the course of history?

    Currently there is increased debate in Germany about the country attaining Nuclear Weapons.

    They are currently trying to get their hands on the French stockpile of Hydrogen weapons via the EU Army. These are the same sycophants who cost the lives of hundreds of millions in the last century and are making moves to consolidate power across the continent again. History has shown they won't do it without armed conflict.

    How were the U.K. treated badly by the EU? Please give specifics.

    The likes of Russia and Farage are no enemy, Macron, Merkel, Verhostadt and Junker and their corrupt globalist liberal corporatist agenda are the enemy of the people. It takes a rare thing to unify the far left and the far right but both layed down their difference to fight the common enemy Macron in France.

    You left out Hal from 2001, the man on the moon and evil Prince Hanz from the film 'Frozen' in your grand, geopolitical handwave.

    Off on a tangent, but the MP who asked the question, Rupa Huq, has a sister, Konnie Huq, who is a former persenter of Blue Peter, and who is married to Charlie Brooker (of Newswipe).

    And people think we have an incestuous political/media circle here!

    Anyway, you were going to give examples of how the EU is treating the UK badly.

    On the contrary, it's quite simple to unite hardliners - all you've to do is whinge about complexity, compromise, diversity and whatever imperfections you can find.

    The reality-based details are relatively unimportant.
