What about this headlong rush towards the US of E with even more centralised and and even less devolved say in our daily lives. You remember, that US of E that the liars told us was never the aim........ it was the entire reason they set up the Common Market in the first place and the reason I voted NO in the 70s.

They also told us there were, and would be, no plans for an EU army. They have now announced it. What they haven't said is how they see it being manned, supplied and paid for. The Brits and the US won't be in it. They won't have manpower in it. They won't be supplying arms to it other than any equipment they might sell to the EU. They won't be putting funds into it. The US and the UK are the largest suppliers of manpower, equipment and money to NATO. The EU Army will be a toothless tiger. Also what effect will this new gummy ***** cat have on affairs? The Russians and Chinese will be laughing themselves hoarse.
