Is The Eu Simply An Imaginary Community?

No thanks, Zacs. Personal insults are not conducive to sensible discussion. Talk to someone else.

[Zacs-Master]

Pathetic.

Zacs-Master; As usual, you try to steer the thread of on a tangent and then become belligerent and lash out with your insults.

I'm certainly not bereft of ideas, but admit I find I cannot match the eloquence of a Nigel Farage, and if you think he is a "second-rate politician" I can't imagine to whom you would class as first.

Regarding EU rules which you seem to be unaffected by (unlike everyone else in the UK), perhaps you have your own private source of energy and the 'Renewables directive' does not impinge on you life, but I'll mention it anyway.

Technically known as Directive 2009/28/EC, this is reckoned by the Open Europe think-tank to be the single most expensive piece of Brussels-imposed legislation, it sets targets for combatting climate change, such as achieving a 20 per cent share of energy from renewable sources by 2020, at a reputed cost of £4.7bn a year.

I could also tell you about the EU fisheries policy, which allows anyone to fish up to 12 miles off the British coastline and has decimated the UK fishing industry - but there again, maybe you don't eat fish.

Thank you for getting the thread back on track, Khandro. How do those two examples demonstrate the homogenisation of EU member states, or prove your assertion that the community is imaginary? You seem to have drifted into a different discussion entirely.

.... Gott helfe mir, Amen.

[Zacs-Master]

Another ABer bereft of ideas to support their original proposition, I see.
