You spout more shit than an elephant with diarrhoea, the EU vision for the future is total harmonisation , that incliudes all laws, taxation and armed forces. As for all 27 countries having to agree , already the EU wants to remove this right from members when voting on tax legislation. Once the right to veto is removed from one aspect then it makes it all the easier to remove it from every other aspect.

No, it does not include all laws, not even all taxation, but obviously it includes laws relevant to trade.   If you have a single market you need to have common standards.


Individuals within the EU can of course have all the delusional visions they wish. Jean-Claude Juncker is just as free to talk pure shite as you are slappy.   But the reality is The EU is currently 28 countries, it is democratic – the members will decide.


So the creation of an EU army is about as likely as Turkey joining the EU and it’s whole population moving to the UK.

You truly are delusional, the vision is for the future not the present. No matter who head up the EU the future is a superstate where member countries will do as they are told or suffer the consequences. They have already rejected Italy 2019 budget plans as they do not meet their rules for member states that use the Euro, in other words if the EU doesn't like it they won't let you do it.
That is just a little preview of the future for EU members,.

It wishes to have its own army,

Nope it’s never going to happen.

Absolute bollocks, in 2018 Merkel and Macron  were both backing the creation of a EU army ,
A spokesperson for the commission’s president [/size]Jean-Claude Juncker[/color]said he was “pleased” that the argument for the force seemed to be “going in our direction”.[/font][/color][/size][/color][/size][/color]

We have an unwanted cat that visits Sharp Hall and I keep a few small old soft potatoes by the backdoor to throw at it. I have little chance of hitting the cat so I throw them at the fence to make a bang and they fall down into the ornamental border on the East lawns.  An unexpected bonus last year was that I ended up with a little crop of potatoes that had grown from the ones that I had launched.

What you need is one of these. 

Haven't seen one of them since I was a kid , its a wonder they are still allowed to sell them.

Utterly dismayed by the rabble in the House of Commons yesterday, howling, braying, childish behaviour over the utterance of a couple of words. In ordinary life, all of us would have replied with a similar comment and moved on. Not this fucking useless shower of gnats piss. They make headline news out of it. Those ruddy foreigners must be pissing themselves at us

Totally agree. The whole set up is archaic and confrontational. Facing each other. Voting by walking through separate 'lobbies'. Blackrod etc. History and ceremony is one thing, but about time they migrated out of that ridiculous building into something more suitable for a modern democratic society.

Foc that, can you imagine the amount of money they would spend on something more sensible?  It would go massively over budget then be found not fit for purpose !

Br**it got booted off this thread as it took over the thread and now the subject of war has taken over!


Rememember the people who fought and died in all wars in the way you want ,but please stop posting your political views and opinions, at best it is boring but too many times it is done just to cause division and argument.


And by the way, even though the author drew on his experiences during the war, "All Quiet On The Western Front" is historical fiction, not fact.


Now for focs sake ,the whole lot of you, shut up and go polish your bikes or something.

Foccing BT Sport, sat down to watch the MotoGP and halfway through the second lap the result came up on the bottom of the screen and the results for the Moto2 and Moto3 races. Unbelievable, and the presenters get worse every race and the claptrap they spout , bring back Parrish and Cox, at least they made me laugh sometimes.

Sounds like you had a nightmare in a bubble car

Yeah, I needed that like I need a third armpit.

If this link works it shows a Yamaha four wheeled " motorcycle" !

Got T boned on my MT09 yesterday,  an arrogant stupid blind bitch in a Range Rover ignored the give way and drove straight onto the roundabout right into the left side of me.  As I was lying on the floor wondering what the foc had just happened she walked up to me , looked at me and said " you don't seem hurt much, I"ll move my car",  Then I just heard a  man shout at her " leave your frigging car where it is".
Next thing I knew I was in back of ambulance on my way to hospital.
Got of lightly I think, mild concussion from my head hitting floor, no broken bones but left knee and ankle look like a pair of turnips.
Helmet is buggered with massive scrapes along right side, no idea about bike yet, it was recovered by a local garage.
If it wasn't for my helmet and decent boots and armour in my leathers I would have been a injured a lot worse.

The Highway Code is going to be changed to encourage people to open their car door using the " dutch reach" and at the same time Cycling UK want the code to say vehicles must give at least 1.5 metres space when overtaking a cyclist., why can't cyclists give 1.5 meters space when passing parked cars as well?
At the same time time Cycling UK are also asking for the advice for cyclists to wear a safety helmet and fluorescent clothing to be removed as this encourages " victim blaming" and as everyone knows cyclists are never in the wrong!

Revenue for the goverment!  Because that is what it is all about, the solution to every problem is to tax it!

It’s not a tax, it’s a compulsory charge, retailers are expected to give the money to good causes.

It is revenue for the government, the charge includes vat which last year resulted in a nice £17 million earner.

To true these new smaller papers are a b*stard to wrap your fish and chips in 

And they tasted better wrapped in newspaper . People used to sell bundles of newspapers to the fish and chip shops.
If you were lucky you'd get an interesting bit to read while you ate them.

I can almost hear the Hovis music playing in the background now

We used to take clean newspapers to the chippie when I was a kid and get a bag of chips with scraps on in payment, the good old days before all these shitty sell everything from pizzas, burgers, chinese, indian, thai all in one shop takeaways took over every street.
