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

If Wilders does somehow win in Holland today, then all bets are going to be off anyway.

^ It's a scary thought, he is as hate filled and racist as you can get and he doesn't make a secret of it.

hmmmm wonder what effect the turkish president blaming the dutch for Srebrenica massacre will have on the dutch elections

^Their own investigation blamed the Dutch government and Military High Command for not preventing it. The Dutch Commander on the ground was filmed drinking with Ratko Mladic and accepted gifts from him after the Serbs took over.

It was a disgrace on many levels but Dutch Soldiers literally turned a blind eye to women being raped and babies being murdered in front of them.

I dont know the whole bosnian war was one fuck up UN rules of engagement were so crap. was times when British soldiers wanted to intervene and couldnt and had to leave women and children in peril because they couldnt be seen to be interfering. America didnt want to get involved because they saw it as EU problem and we all know what the EU are like

Usual Crap by the UN prob lead to thousands of more deaths that could have been prevented. was same old crap because of Russia being on the serbian side and west on the bosnian side

if the UN had done in Bosnia like they did in Kosovo then Kosovo prob wouldnt have happened

Re: no oil.

Rwanda, meh.

Somalia (Somalia has reserves of several natural resources, including uranium, iron ore, tin, gypsum, bauxite, copper, salt and natural gas. The CIA reports that there are 5.663 billion cu m of proven natural gas reserves) - er, we must free the people.

Well I think if the EU asks us to fight their battles for them we should stick two fingers up and say "it's not our problem"

Seems the thinking is that the row in fact helped Rutte to victory.

Seems odd to me that the exit poll had Rutte at 31 seats, with Wilders in joint-2nd on 19, but the final result was 40 for Rutte and Wilders back in joint-5th on 12.

EDIT - OK, that was the score this morning, but it's a lot closer now

The Queen has given Royal Assent to the Brexit Bill, allowing Theresa May to start the formal process of the UK leaving the European Union. The Prime Minister has said it will start before the end of March.
