Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Bruce Wayne]

Guy Verhofstadt wants an EU empire, or Reich as they call it in Germany, yikes.

He's Belgian. What on earth are you on about?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

You've had it good, Pete. Born at just the right time.

Not to mention in the right country.

 

[peteblue]

Not to mention in the right country.

Indeed, I didn’t get to chose though......

 

[peteblue]

You should start your own 'why @peteblue is wonderful' thread, where you could talk about overcoming the hardship and circumstance of your youth and subsequent transformation into the antagonistic self congratulatory blowhard we know today.

Don’t be like that, you’ll be old, knowledgeable and experienced one day, well old anyway......

 

[spectateur]

And I do.....

Oh I'm with you all the way on this one JL. Anyone would think that nobody else has gone to grammar school from a humble background. Got a degree in the 1960s and worked hard for 40 years.
Many of us have done that but unfortunately not ended up rich and self opinionated bores.

You achieved the last bit though....

I know he is, still doesn’t change the fact he wants an EU Empire or Reich

oh, you're fierce sassy since getting back in here!

*sigh

An empire is ruled over by a single entity. The European Union is an example of multinational cooperation. It's not an empire in any sense of the word. And please stop this Reich nonsense. You're not Mark Francois (thank goodness).

So has anyone been keeping up with the Supreme Court presentations, and who do we think has won......

I'll just spend my time telling people on internet forums that I am top of my field and that I have 40+ years experience so it qualifies me to make Ill informed and jingoistic remarks as if they are considered debate.

Yes. Watched it all. 50-50 I'd say.

If the Government loses, the Tory Party is going to have a really big dilemma on their hands.

I'm just looking forward to Liverpool fans sending YNWA messages to the loser.

I'd say it's plausible. I wasn't convinced of the Miller/Cherry arguments, but they were done so brilliantly particularly by Pannick. O'Neill was or theatre, which I wasn't convinced about but Pannick had made the legal arguments so O'Neill went for emotion.

'The key point at the end of proceedings was Justice Black asking how parliament can check misuse of prorogation if it is prorogued.

How can a matter be ultimately for parliament and not the courts, if the executive prorogues parliament so that parliament cannot do anything'
