    Look, don't ask a question if all you want is answers which meet your own approval.

    Just tell people what their opinion should be.

    It's very EU you know.


    I didn't say your answer was wrong; it's very honest that you don't care about NI.



    There's just no point trying to discuss issues that no-one cares about - life's too short.


    My answer "you should care" was in response to you asking "Why should I care?", not an answer to my question. I'd have hoped those that are politically interested would be interested in talking about all the potential ramifications of brexit. It's much easier if we can write off problems with "don't care".

    UPDATE;
    Trump now demanding Europe pays 4% into defence...
    If you add the taxpayers bung to the companies like BAe, paid in the form of non-competitive overpriced defence contracts, doesn't the UK already put in about 4% of it's GDP into defence?

    Apparently, new UK aircraft carriers with French engine control systems.

    Anybody who has ever owned PSA will know what that means...turn the tiller to starboard and an anti aircraft missile goes streaking off into the distance!

    “This is the greatest vassalage since King John paid homage to Phillip II at Le Goulet in 1200,’’ Rees-Mogg said in a statement.

    They need to get him as Tory leader. This sort of stuff will really resonate with the voters :)

    Someone once told me he was already through the door as deputy PM so I guess the coronation won’t be far off.

    Then again the same person also said that he doesn’t have the numbers so is a busted flush.

    I assume you're a UKIP voter too? Just remember that the proportion of UKIP voters on this little internet backwater is much bigger than the population at large. Your views are very much on the fringe - that


    I like most kippers turned back to Tory at the GE in the hope they would see Brexit through properly.
    You guys are always behind the times, watch this space, UKIP membership is rapidly building. Get your head out of the MSM just for an hour, you will learn far more.


    You must think all those populist uprisings across Europe are imagined.

    No-one in Europe is going to pay any attention to that.

    Threatening Merkel will do absolutely nothing.

    Oh dear, don't you tire of spouting the MSM line and calling things wrong? Just like QT audiences that cheer tired standard rhetoric over and again that turns out to be wrong.
    Going to keep a copy of your post and put it up here shortly when Europe commits to a significant military spending uplift.

    Hey!

    Don't have a go at our fellow autocrat Herzlos.

    For they have been entrusted with writing the second referendum question, which is :-

    Do you want UK to remain in the EU?

    - Yes, I want UK to remain.
    - No, I don't want us to try and Leave ever again.

    :)

    Trump is a laughing stock

    ***** laughing stock***** - the go-to insult for anything Trump or Brexit, so quaint


    Laughing stock compared to Macron that invited Trump to a full State visit or dines in Russia at The World Cup in spite of Novichok incidents?

    Compared to weak and wobbly Merkel handing on by a thread that takes 5 months to form a Gov't?

    Trump is very popular in Japan, S Korea, Singapore and plenty other places. Only hand wringing pompous Brits atop moral Mount Everest get their panties in a twist about him.

    I just came back from Stansted btw, crowds of us wanted to see the huge military assets such as the Osprey's and motorcades. Plenty of women amongst us. All the police there standing with us were filming the event, very excited Trump was in town, no one bad mouthing him, this is the real Britain, ordinary confident people, far from the miserly dining tables of the frothing liberals

    I reckon Trump is going to make a one time pitch to buy the UK.

    He knows that May is a sucker for any chunky pocket of change, and she does need some new kitten heels.
