"Without your great nation, this Continent would not be what it is today," they wrote.
Shame our own anti British aren't similarly enthusiastic.

[Rockrose]

Who is the anti British you talk of?

[New Judge]

"Without your great nation, this Continent would not be what it is today,"

They're surely not blaming us for it being a shambolic mish-mash of disparate nations bound together under a flawed and failing"Project", using a failing single currency and ruled by unelected civil servants are they?

[Mamyalynne]

I am very fortunate, don't know any of your Anti British types TTT - have words with them please.

[ToraToraTora]

I like to think they don't mean that judge,

[Sqad]

No! no! NJ

They mean that group of countries that have a Rail System that makes the Uk's look like a second hand Hornby set, a Health service that is as good as, if not better, arguably, than the NHS and cancer survival rates that namesake the NHS figures look like relative death sentences.

[ToraToraTora]

RR:"Who is the anti British you talk of?" - sqad is a prime example, lives in Spain and never misses a chance to have a go at us. QED!

[New Judge]

What else is it if it's not that (politically, I mean)?

It has some lovely areas, some lovely people, some nice cities, towns and villages. But all that is overshadowed by the Project. I cannot enthuse about mainland Europe at all whilst it is enthralled with a political system that will only end in tears (and is only prevented from doing so more rapidly by the political vanity of the Project managers that prevents them from accepting they have made bad decisions of epic proportions).

[Jackdaw33]

I think you'll find Sqad has relocated to the UK.

[ToraToraTora]

really JD, but why would he do that? Why move from Utopia> Maybe his insurance won't cover him anymore and he needs the NHS, just a thought.

// Who is the anti British you talk of? //

Stick around and I'm sure they'll turn up. This question will be like the proverbial red rag to a bull.

[Jackdaw33]

He has explained on a previous thread. A Spanish bank with whom he had a considerable sum invested collapsed and his money went with it.

[ToraToraTora]

that's bad news JD but they normally do not eject you from the country do they?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Good cop/bad cop tactics, isn't it?

After the bullying comes the buttering up:

"Look, we really, like you. We wouldn't want to see you hurt. All you've got to do is change your mind and stay. You know you want to."

[Jackdaw33]

He wasn't ejected, he obviously chose to relocate for sound financial reasons. £250k is a lot of money to lose.

[cashier]

It has welcomed back Germany as a sovereign state.
Didn't Angela Merkel say recently there were to be no sovereign states only a sovereign EU? Why would they miss the things they state, we'll still be doing them, not them -so they'll still be able to laugh at our quaint customs?
In the Mail today there was an extra sentence which said 'come back to the EU, it is home'.

[naomi24]

Soft soap.

[Theland]

Lye soap, or lie soap.

[woofgang]

i read that quote and immediately thought hmmmm that can be taken 2 ways

[Kathyan]

They need our money!

[Jackdaw33]

What it should have said is, "Come back to the EU, the UK is our bank account".
