You are certain of this, are you? Based on what? Do you know of anyone who has pretended to be gay to get a job? Do you have any evidence of anyone you don't know pretending to be gay to get a job? Roughly how long do you think it'll be until it is indeed compulsory to be gay when applying for a job?
I'm not saying that what you said is inflammatory nonsense - you are certain, after all. Plus, it seems strange for someone to make up their mind about an issue based on emotion or misinformation rather than reason and fact.
The principle of ever closer union between peoples of Europe has been written in EU treaties since 1957, but the EU has also formally been declared that member states can integrate at their own pace, which pretty much nullifies that argument.
As proof I can point to the fact that we've got (or rather had) an opt out of Schengen, as well as an opt out of the single currency, and a veto on this, that and the other. Claiming we just rescued ourselves from becoming a region of federal Europe is extremely far fetched, bordering on disingenuous.
Incidentally that article was written in 2016 and I still don't see a European superstate.
... you are right Driller. However the various national opt outs are merely temporary in the much longer game.
He did in 2016, he doesn't seem so sure now.
'Lord King said that "a government that cannot take action to prevent some of these catastrophic outcomes illustrates a whole lack of preparation".
He probably means the catastrophic outcome with no deal etc, but he certainly doesn't seem to think that everything will be wonderful as some Brexiteers made out, and still do.
Farage came clean the morning after the vote but it was refuted even before the referendum.
Apart from the fact that the politicians concerned would never increase spending on the NHS out of principle, the 350 million figure is a fiction, there has never been and never will be a week when we send 350 million to the EU.
The fact that we are still debating this underlines how problematic the whole situation is.
Thank God for that - the blessed Theresa's given us all another year's breathing space. Quite a canny idea, that, joining one year at a time under the pretence that you're leaving ... eventually. Can prove quite expensive though.
