    Tell us, before you do a 'look over there', who was being 'oppressed' when Thatcher was running around with the title of chief architect of the Single Market or when Britain blocked CAP reform etc?

    The woman is a loon and an embarrassment to all of Britain.

    What do ye think of President Higgins talking about the UK having tantrums.

    I have to say I am pretty annoyed about this, its not like Higgins have ever worked at anything that wasnt a cushy number.

    There are a lot of people in employment here and in the Uk and the UK is our nearest neighbour and going to Germany and passing smart arse comments may backfire on us.

    The EU is turning into a creditors and debtors club. The creditors will make the decisions for the rest. Veto rights and voting systems will eventually change and the Germans and French will decide the path.

    'Ruffling feathers'? They are being ridiculed.

    I don't think so. They will be a constant pain in the arse in Brussels. Ridicule them all you like but they will keep turning up and upsetting the apple cart.

    The EU beef deal with south America was great news for Ireland wasn't it.

    I don't particularly like the EU so maybe my opinions are different to yours. But that's ok

    The EU has never been and never will be a perfect entity. It is a case of swings and roundabouts with the overall result being tremendously good for Ireland.

    The German president had no problem speaking his mind, why would you censor ours?

    Just when you think Brexiteers have hit maximum embarrassment we get this. Utterly insane stuff.

    Is that not a parody account? The part about the British being the "oppressed" and her defence of the rights of the colonised against imperial powers, and equation of the English with the 'slaves' of history who have revolted against their master would indicate it is.

    Otherwise this is a victimhood, delusion, scapegoating, lies and propaganda on a grand scale - comparable with Germany between late 1929 and 1933. But then again even the Nazis were cautious not to alienate foreign powers (whom they needed for finance and other political support) at least until 1935 when they were stronger. Here, she's going on an attack against all the members of the 27 other EU countries present in the parliament and the British are going to need an awful lot of friends in the coming years. Pride, or rather conceit, before a downfall and all that. Their comeuppance can surely not be too far off now.

    I didn't know that twirling in their seats and throwing around a few insults is upsetting the apple cart.

    This is all just for UK audience, the rest of Europe will just roll their eyes and count down the days. Nidge will earn loads of money from speaking appearances and UK will be ****ed.

    Ruffling feathers? Nothing could be further from the reality. These uncouth, unmannerly, disrespectful populist goons and their scapegoating of British-created problems on to the EU are clearly a target for nothing but scorn and contempt. Anybody can see they're just building all the lies to justify the political suicide that is Brexit. This has scapegoating written all over it - and historians will crucify the abject dishonesty of all these people.

    I don't disagree. I also couldn't care less what happens to the UK. I don't really care about what happens to the EU or even Ireland either if I'm honest. I don't have any real say ,it's out of my hands.
    Iv learned long ago to not care about things I have no control over .

    But like I said I'm happy to see the Brexit party in Brussels acting against the status quo. It will be an interesting few months. Hopefully all over by October/November

    What EU Beef deal ??

    There is a proposed TRADE deal with a trade block in South America. As part of that deal there will be some import of South American Beef.

    The beef industry has assured us for decades that our Irish Grass fed beef is far far superior so there shouldn't be an issue. Irish beef also competes on international markets against South American beef.

    It is one tiny part of a larger trade deal with a huge market,,

    It is the sign of somebody who just wants to whinge - to cherrypick out the bad stuff or the stuff were we might lose out and never ever look at the good stuff the EU has done. Same thing happens with representations of the referendums, the big bad mysterious 'EU' forced us (who believed en masse in sensational conspiracy theories about abortion and armies) vote twice etc etc. When the reality was a lot different.

    The Daily Mail etc have been feeding a certain type of British person this one sighted diet (bendy bananas, etc) for years and we can now see how dangerous this is.

    Probably not, but then she’s as batty as Batman in a cave full of bats. Utterly ridiculous person. Her “celebrity “ status on British TV over the past few years is mystifying.

    I heard her doubling down on it on Newsnight. She claimed that many many people in the UK agreed with her...of that I have no doubt.

    Yeh, I get your comparison...the nasty EU marching into countries, annexing them, suppressing the natives, stealing their resources and wealth, subjugating women based on some biblical nonsense, covering up wholesale abuse etc etc.

    Would you ever have a titter of wit. :rolleyes:

    Its early days in the Eu Empire . Sure didn’t some Irish Invite the English here back in the Day .

    Empires are not Empires at the beginning. Thought out Human History when Some Humans become too Powerful they form Empires .

    Why would the Eu be any different .

    The handing out of the Eu Plum Jobs has the feel / look of Baronies been handed out by Royalty / Empires .
