Back into character chaps.

I watched the BBC programme Brexit: Battle For Britain last night and it was clear that the Remain campaign just completely missed the mark - entrenched in their view that the economic argument would win the day even when it became blindingly obvious that sovereignty/immigration was the real battleground, and recklessly subcontracting of the task of winning of old, Northern and working class voters to the Labour campaign, which was a disaster. I also saw/heard the Obama 'back of the queue' speech for the first time, and if I'd hear that piece of poison before referendum day, I'd have voted Leave just out of buggeration, then applied for US citizenship and voted Trump to reinforce the point. How dare he threaten to put a nation that has stood 'shoulder to shoulder' with USA to the back of any queue?

'Piece of poison' or just words of advice. Either way, for it to have made you hypothetically even consider voting for Trump sounds like an untypical overreaction AF.

Agree about George but then he aint short of a bob or two so he wont go short, unlike the poor buggers he imposed austerity on!

Its a bit simplistic to say ruled by eurocrats, there are other internationallaws that countries sign up to, or are at least supposed to and these overrule individual governments. The whole idea of european law was so that countries worked to the same standard and theres actually a lot of sense in that, plus most EU laws we wont abandon anyway because they actually make snese. This idea that EU laws are negtaive is overblown, sure thee are some stupid regulations, but guess what? the Uk Government has introduced many of those itslef and the Uk is a very good jobsworth nation implementing EU law in a way that other EU countries dont.

I'd be interested to know exactly which EU rules have impacted negatively, I certainly never had the sense that we were omehow not a sovereign country as part of the EU and whilst in business there are rules and regulations that can be irksome, as many of those were introduced by the UK government as eminated from brussels.

Seeing as you don't like like my quotes and you're always right and the world wrong.
I'll just give you one to investigate yourself.

The thousands of people in this country suffering flooding.

Enjoyx feel free to insult as I know we are all down the pecking order to you, oh holy one.

Serious question for Anag and Swaley.. Just watching the Olympics and we are still Great Britian.. Do you think this should be changed to United Kingdom?
No real reason to ask, just curious.

That's how I felt at the time, fuelled also by the condescending smirk he had all through the speech. yes of course it was an overreaction on my part.

So we have had Sysrian Assylum seekers

Eastern european countries emptyng their jails and sending their criminals over to us

And now the thousands of people suffering flooding in this country and its the EU to blame? You need therapy!

Actually your the only one whose opinion I disregard! I may disagree with what others have said, thats not the same as saying their wrong, whereas with you its quite simple to disprove your more outlandish claims and to demonstrate that you interpret others as suits you!

Couple that with an inability on your part to actually read or understand what Anag and myself have posted adn well fish in a barrrel come to mind!

The Olympic team is officially 'Great Britain And Northern Ireland' which = UK. Just that the 'And NI' tends to get knocked off. Nice to see BBC as ever giving reasonable coverage of athletes from The Republic

Not sure why you're asking Swale and me. I couldn't really care less what we're called tbh, just really impressed and pleasantly surprised at how well we're doing. Think our footballers...at international and DCFC level, could learn a lot from the dedication and commitment shown by some of these athletes for far less in terms of material reward.

P.S. Not including dressage (aka skipping for horses) which just shouldn't be an Olympic activity.

So you're not even going to look up what I said?
You asked a question/challenged anyone. I gave you one.
Have a peek, no lies. It's their fault, because our hands are tied.
You really have to be one helluvva arrogant individual.

It's a risk you have to take, although I would admit he will totally ignore any points that I will make and then go off rambling about something else adnauseum adding a personal insult carefully picked from his insult library.
