Ahem.
Your man, is not praise.
Just someone your ideology attuned to.
Please try harder and donāt forget to answer the question at the end of my last post.
Nah, Iām not going to bother.
Doesnāt seem to matter what either of us write. You donāt seem to recognise anything either of us have written.
Itās a pretty shaky foundation for discussion. Thanks!
Cop out
You simply like many pro EU people fail to recognize how unhappy people are with mass immigration, the reality lies before you in people voting for extreme parties and yet you still donāt get it.
Your ideology welds you where you canāt move, that is similar to the EU as well.
I also see the Germans are wanting a deal which means the EU will offer one, which sort of sums up the EU hierarchy and democracy donāt you think?
One problem with that Barry and you would know what it is, if you ever took notice of anything anyone else wrote, is the simple fact that iām not pro EU.
Unlike you, pap and those on the other side iām not stuck in some ideological idiocy.
Leaving under this lot will be a fucking disaster for the most needy, so anyone that claims to have a care for just society canāt back it. Conversely, anyone that claims the EU is good for the needy or a fair society is delusional.
Your all stuck in dumb ideological camps and that suits only one kind. See if you can guess who that would be?
Well youāre not Brexit so by default youāre pro EU.
That proves my point. Thank you.
Watch this Barry, if you havenāt read the book.
Might be a bit long for you, so 1:22:25 onwards for the eurozone, which i promise you will like.
Meanwhile.
The liberal elite leaning EU continues to fiddle while Rome burns.
Weāve told them to sod off, they have issued threats to Poland and are now about to take on Hungary.
My view is again Brexit should happen because the EU is politicised in a way that benefits the elite not the people. It needed to change it didnāt.
Next no doubt they will have to fight Sweden

Itās unravelling everywhere, Phil.
Which makes the attitude of the Remaining remainers as tough to square as someone safely on a lifeboat, looking to get back on the Titanic.

With respect- Unravelling everywhere? Really? Pick your news stories to match your agenda maybe?
In my opinion
But as I said before, weāre never going to agree so itās not worth our time with our fingers in our ears shouting at each other - so am just reminding everyone that other people think Britain might just be better served by being in the tent and pissing out rather than being outside and pissing in. For a bit of balance like.
What is truly shocking about that article is the percentage of migrant construction workers in the capital.
50 per cent.
Having worked on site for a good deal of last year (not in London) it doesnāt surprise me in the slightest.
Itās all the more astounding because London is already very cosmopolitan, very rich, so rich in fact, that normal workers doing normal jobs canāt afford to live there.
Granted, all these fellows might be utterly fucking loaded and just really love building.
However, most would concede that itās far likelier that the majority of the construction workforce is here for a few years, slumming it in over-occupied accommodation and utterly destroying the wage expectations of anyone not rooming with 5 big lads from Gdansk.
Whacking this straight back into your court.
Macronās approval ratings have plummeted as the French realise heās another corrupt bullshitter. This is a France that plumped a full third of its vote on Marine Le Pen.
AfD are the official opposition. The Germans have had the same government for over a decade. Merkelās insane plan to speak for the masses has massively backfired. The far right are in Parliament.
The far right are in government.
Refuses to implement Schengen. Now at risk of censure from the EU. Virulently right wing government.
Coalition of far right and the populist Five Star Movement in power, following a number of technocratic governments imposed by the EU.
Threatened with ejection from the EU in 2018 for its government policies.
Utterly shat on during debt renegotiations. Numerous technocratic governments imposed. ATM rationing during negotiations to get the population to play ball, or at least pretend.
Technocratic governments imposed. Youth unemployment at 25%. Fascist tendencies in resolving the Catalonian crisis.
Youth unemployment at 20%.
Massive net emigration. Around 1,000 people leaving the country every week. Some of the most expensive prices in the Union. Fledgling Irexit movement.
Lowest wage growth in 150 years. Ongoing balance of payments deficit, starting in 1973 and continuing pretty much to this day. Population increase of 3m in a very short space of time, largely due to us being one of the most attractive places in the Union to work. Voted to leave the European Union.
Ball in court, @Cobham-Saint. Where is it going right? (NB: not far right)
Aināt biting @pap
Spread your wings and use your time where thereās a bigger population to convince.
Unless of course the Govt and opposition consider we few Sotonians as representative of āThe Peopleā and use us to drive and develop policyā¦clearly weāve been really good at that.
The population has been convinced already. If youāre talking about the denizens of this particular thread, then yes, weāve lost a couple, but would we really gain much from people lining up to throw cheap jibes in before the circlejerk high five?
I think not. Much as it pains any hotelier to lose a guest, it pains me to lose a contributor. However, I am enjoying the new found wonder of not being cast as some arrogant or patronising bastard every second post, and the agency it has afforded in debate.
Finally, Iām not really asking you to bite. Iām asking you to look. Thatās a long list of countries which should preclude any accusation of cherry-picking. Iām not going to be a tiresome twat and beg you for an answer every second post either.
This was just another opportunity to enumerate the benefits of EU membership, spurned as it forever has been.
Fair enough - not going to argue that the whole population has become Brexiteer, as thatās patently not true.
Your last paragraph sums it all up very eloquently though - just need to work the word hubris in there somewhere.
(@Fowllyd as site pedant, is hubris an appropriate word to suggest?)
