Originally posted by steeleye20 I see Stormont and Holyrood voted the 'deal' down. It is looking more and more likely that the UK will break up. Not over brexit alone, but over covid. It is obvious to them that they are best at managing themselves, free from Johnson's old etonian clowns disastrous performance. From abroad, the UK looks like 'plague island' veering from one disaster to another. Your best out of it then mate, don’t forget your coat on the way out. Seriously, if the UK breaks up the only ones benefitting would be England.

Germany remains the most powerful economic force in Europe. It controls the currency, and therefore the economic well-being, of hundreds of millions of others and it does not always act in the best interest of those people. I genuinely question the wisdom of centring so much power in the hands of a nation that has done more to destabilise the rest of Europe than any other over the course of the last 150 years and has slaughtered millions just for the accident of birth. I am sure the Germans of 1914 and 1939 were as cultured and polite around a dinner table as anybody else. Probably more so in many ways. I don't consider myself as 'anti' German and have always enjoyed my visits there along with numbering a few of them amongst my friends. But collectively, I am wary. Always willing to put my hands up. History, geography and to a certain extent, linguists, are all reasons for keeping a wary eye on the Germans and Germany. Now people may mock me for the last part and ask how I can have a prejudice against a language but I am convinced that it plays far more of a part in defining how people act collectively. The notion of a 'final solution' has a certain logic only in a language like German. No nuance, just what you see is what you get. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Freedom and independence is not just a financial equation neither is the european union. Who, in their right mind, would wish to be ruled by a self-serving clique of foreign old etonians with their derisory claims of democracy.

What, you mean you don’t have a load of poor people from certain sections of the community looting and stabbing and shooting the local populace. You talk about the EU like it’s the saviour of the world and yet you choose to live in one of the most bigoted areas of the country. You argue as to what is English and what is not and yet you couldn’t pick a more single race community to live in if you tried.
