European Superstate....

I think they are now in a blind panic behind the scenes! We were the first of probably many apples to fall from the tree and the whole union is likely to collapse.
I see that the German people are now calling for a Referendum!

Thats good,at least the Germans will be looking to negotiate a sensible deal with us now that the Car builders want to deal with us and the Government will be thinking they may be looking for a similair deal in the future........

Things are looking up!!
 
This could be much more than the end of the EU

This could be a reversal of globalisation which has sought to enslave the entire planet.

Unwinding it now could result in global conflict

Just nipping down to the shops for bananas and ballistics :).
 
This is a good point about the EU getting in the way of trade agreements with the 100 nations outside the EU, notably India, China, Japan and Korea. With the opening of the wider locks in the Panama Canal this week, large cargo vessels from these countries will be able to cross the Pacific to the east coasts of the US, Canada and South America, and make a straight shot across the Atlantic, avoiding the rough seas around the cape of Africa. We don't know how things like this will affect trade, but the free markets, the shipping companies and ocean terminal operators, and individual nations, will be able to sort out better and faster than bureaucrats in Brussels who have no direct experience with, or investment in, the businesses.

You sometimes wonder how we managed to trade troughout the world before all the Eurocrats arrived!!!
 
I could go on as I am sure many others could.

A lot of what we have had to accept as Regulations/Legislation for Health and Safety and Environment etc are good but we are at a disadvantage as our EU competitors don't enforce them as we do......
As I said months ago,we are too HONEST and NAIVE to be in Europe,to survive you have to be comfortable with a level of Corruptness!!

Absolutely! We say we are not going to abide to regulations and then do; France and many others say they will and then flagrantly ignore them!

Indeed, someone telling the British or Dutch about international trade is a bit like a fat man eating a biscuit while he critiques Roger Federer. The Irish were trading with the Phoenicians and Greeks, and the Viking artifacts left in Canada show that Maersk may have trade in their genes.
 
Quote..With a bit of luck the EU will come crashing down on those who seek to manipulate it for their own end, hopefully decapitating Juncker/Sturgeon in the process. Ouch.... :D :thumb:


I genuinely hate them. He's a drunken Eurocrat bully who has been done effectively for criminal activities in Lux and Sturgeon is just an idiot that looks like a Kranky.

To give you an idea of Junckers blatant stupidity and how he annoys. When the most recent strikes were on in France and he had to drive because he could take the train or fly when asked about if he thought this was a problem with France he said nooooooo its just the French way!! WTF thats basically like saying go on Unions lube up and we will pull our own damn pants down grrr.
