Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Walken]

It looks like Brexit will now happen. Remainer's do have a major consolation though, they now know that democracy has prevailed.

Gloating over peoples pain and genuine fear, how classy

He didn't say that. He actually said:

'The most puzzling development in modern politics is the apparent determination of Western European leaders to re-create the Soviet Union in Western Europe.'

Nothing to do with the EU.

And even that appears to be a largely unverified statement.

no mate. i've demonstrated with specific examples why many people fear the EU is becoming a USSR-style superstate, where priority is control.

Here's another Gorbachev quote: “The EU is the old Soviet Union dressed in Western clothes”

Where did he say that?

And even that appears to be a largely unverified statement.

Exactly.

I've got one from Gorbachev (one of the world's leading experts on making up quotes):

"@dholliday and @Methuselah are quoting made up quotes about the EU"
M.Gorbachev 1989

edit. That was the anti semetic thing wasnt it?

To all intents and purposes the status quo will remain trade with europe will continue virtually unhindered and tight ass prozzies from eastern europe will always find a warm welcome here. People are getting wound up about very little

France isn’t a country governed by referendums.They put faith in their own democracy by not having one

They don't have an electoral option to leave the EU other than from Front National, who are so unpalatable that most sensible folk don't go for them.
