Well, ZensUrsula* is always of great concern.That is exactly how I feel.
When I read people invoking the Battle of Britain, or suggesting, as Bill Cash did the other day, that the choice of a German* as head of the EU Commission was "a matter of grave concern", I am close to despair. Why do these people need to keep summoning up these ghosts and finding ways to make us all hate one another all over again?
* this one:-
They would have more serious problems without the EU.What do you mean? Poland, Hungary, Italy and a few more are having serious problems with the EU.
And her connections and her cunning. She is tough as nails. She survived being Minister of Defence, which is a traditional career ender in Germany.I think you have made a good point. But the above lady has been embroiled in so much controversy due to her incompetence dealing with military matters. Lets face the facts. Her present and past appointments have a lot to due with political correctness.
I think she has 8 children or maybe more. You are correct she is tough.And her connections and her cunning. She is tough as nails. She survived being Minister of Defence, which is a traditional career ender in Germany.
When you have nationalists running a government, of course they're going to be against the EU.What do you mean? Poland, Hungary, Italy and a few more are having serious problems with the EU.
A truer word was never spoken. Today, even Bozo's own brother resigned from his ministerial job and announced he was leaving politics.Like any government or any person, there have been some boneheaded EU decisions. Its also done some decent things.
But trying for a divorce is even more of a mess. In human terms when a couple files for divorce, it can be supremely messy. The Brits have learned that divorcing the EU makes an ordinary divorce mess look like a sunny, warm day in the park. The UK is tearing itself to bits over BREXIT.
But that is not the same as expressing "grave concern" on the grounds that she is German, which is what Bill Cash was doing. WW2 was 80 years ago and Germany has been a model world citizen ever since.I think you have made a good point. But the above lady has been embroiled in so much controversy due to her incompetence dealing with military matters. Lets face the facts. Her present and past appointments have a lot to due with political correctness.
Nothing new:That is exactly how I feel.

What about the Liberal Democrats? They seem like the most sensible party at this point.A truer word was never spoken. Today, even Bozo's own brother resigned from his ministerial job and announced he was leaving politics.
Bozo is following the Trump playbook, lurch to the extremes, lie, and drag the party with you, eliminating all dissenting voices. Given that Labour has already lurched to the extreme left, thanks to the stupid decision by Miliband to allow party members to choose the leader, we have a dangerous situation in which moderate voices find it hard to gain traction.
The positive thing just now is the setting aside of party differences that seems to be happening in the drive to stop a no deal crash-out. If Bozo fails, the Tory party may come to its senses - in opposition.
I had utterly forgotten that song. It brings back memories.Nothing new:
So why are all the other Euro countries doing ok?
What about France and the Yellow Vests?
The French economy has been underperforming for years. Unemployment, especially among the young, has been chronically high.
Macron has put himself forward as the saviour of the European project, which he claims is facing collapse unless he leads it into the next stage of integration – what he calls a ‘sovereign Europe’, ultimately in charge of finances, taxation, welfare, labour law and immigration.
Where will France and the EU go from here? The future is unpredictable, and it is not very bright.
When people feel they are no longer heard by the elites, protest becomes more vehement. We see it in various forms from Spain to Hungary. In France, it leads to burning cars and looted shops. In Britain, it leads to Brexit. France has once again provided us with a dramatic spectacle of what can happen when a political system implodes.
In Britain, too, we need to heed the warning. If people feel those in power despise them, sooner or later they react.

Is Spain any better?
On Brexit, yes. But they are schizophrenic. They were (I think) an effective junior partner in the coalition with Cameron, but some of them never came to terms with the compromises that go with governing, as opposed to the comfort zone of complaining from the sidelines without having to make the hard choices. There is an element within the party that revels in dreaming up schemes that they know will never have to be implemented. So they punished their leader in the coalition - and now he works for Faecebook, of all things.What about the Liberal Democrats? They seem like the most sensible party at this point.

I am so proud of my fellow Italians. Very attached to the Notion of Nation and Ethnic Identity.Strange that being in the EU did all these things seeing as, on average, the far right is far stronger in Europe than in the UK, and they are far less welcoming of immigrants.
It's almost as if (anonymous) just made up a self-righteous, maudlin paean that has no actual connection to reality whatsoever.
(also the idea that Scottish, Irish and Welsh 'retired their silly differences' with England is quite frankly a load of bollocks)
Clearly if I were a Brit, I'd have to vote for Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel (Silly Party)The Liberal Democrats want another EU referendum after breaking the rules in the last one.
Lib Dems 'broke referendum finance rules'
However, their new leader will not accept the democratic result if the people vote to leave again.
I cannot call them a sensible party.
