I am not surprised at all. 🙄

No suprise that there are a few people in the EU parliament with that view, they will be a minority and it just won’t happen in our lifetimes. Also no surprise that the torygraph would jump on them as an opportunity to pour scorn on the EU. .

Why not ?

I’m up for it now, get rid of national parliaments, get rid of local councils whilst were at it. Just have unitary county councils with a rep on the USE.

Pay em all well and their not allowed jobs post public office.

Done.

Seems like a good idea to me. I don’t normally ‘do’ politics, but at the risk of “famous last words” the EU can’t be making decisions that are any more stupid / unfair than our current superficially-elected tyranny are.

Wot Cougar said

What are the chances that this could mean an end of the Tory Party?!

Insufficient, I expect.

I don’t care anymore …

Zombie maggots infestation is inevitable.

(Sorry, I said I don’t do politics. I don’t, really, I don’t understand most of it; I just know I’ve gone “WTF?!” more with the current administration than I have cumulatively with all the others. And I was at school in the Thatcher years.)

A Europe of the regions would be pretty good, I think.

Being as I have a reputation to maintain, blatantly, this is a move towards global government, in line with the New World Order

Of course, you’ll just think I’m a fruit loop, but regardless of debate on blatant flaws in official accounts of several world changing events of the last 15 years;

do your own research on where all the money has been going in these times of austerity…

and question why it is GCHQ and the NSA pursue such extensive infiltration into your communications and habits…

I wonder how much of the article accurately reflects what she actually said?

To the owners of debt

it’s in the telegraph, so i’m sure it’s factually correct and balanced.

Pretty open to a new world order too, however the flaw in all these conspiracy theories is that they would require a degree of orchestration which sadly does not exist.

Ahhh, memories (not my own). Just reading the thread title made me re-find Churchill’s speech where he coined the phrase.

So, you’ll be joining the United States? 😀

Well, you’ll have to learn to drive on the right. But the lack of VAT on all of the cheap bike parts from the US will make up for that! 😉

And you’ll be able to buy guns!

It’s commonly known as not sharing the pie. No flaw in conspiracy theories but rather another way to say we are not sharing. End of.
