Europe, Referendum & Brexit (formerly Europe..IN or OUT??)

What support do workers get from the EU if they went on strike? None I bet!! I don't ever recall hearing any striking worker saying they are getting EU support for their cause

As far as TTIP goes whether we vote to leave or not, it will be forced through and will be forced on us, to me I think our vote means diddly squat to the EU if we are in or out, they will find every which bloody way they can think of to shaft us left right and centre.

Have we ever adopted the Yes Minister diplomatic approach in real life or not?

Yes Minister was based on real life, so...

I'm surprised Cameron's not adopted it!! if he's tried it, it probably wasn't successfully adopted

Germans were allies till the first world war, we are the same tuetonic stock. Germans troops often faught with Britian, including Hessians in the American wars od independence.

French were the enemie of just about every one, especially Germany what with WW1 and 2 and the Napoleonic wars.

we have spent more time fighting the french than we ever did the germans

in fact its been the french that have been trying to come between us and the germans especially under merkel.

with the wars going back to 1066 we are close to the French....they invaded us we invaded them...with all the shagging going on we have merged blood lines. But like brother/sister we have a love/hate relationship.

the public vote in eurovision is proof the cnuts dont like us...fuck 'em...brexit it is...we will keep our pounds to spend as we wish thanks.
