So those politicos who dream of the superstate, and the gravy train that goes with it, are forced to find other arguments for maintaining the Euro. Equally fictitious, though. Leave the EU to keep the peace and we'll have more Srebrinicas.Rollohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18255460090580758354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-15480959093975561172011-09-01T14:11:38.280+01:002011-09-01T14:11:38.280+01:00Emotive twaddle.

Those few that would come forward would spend all their time running around arresting those who wouldn't.AuntyEUnicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143994656580514728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-9447409273167267992011-09-01T13:35:16.495+01:002011-09-01T13:35:16.495+01:00Your comment is absolutely spot-on, and I would ad...Your comment is absolutely spot-on, and I would add only this:<br /><br />The pretence that it was the EEC/EC/EU that prevented war in Europe was always nonsense, and propaganda aimed at those with no understanding whatever of such things. One thing the europhiles never told us was which European countries might have gone to war without had the EU not existed, and when. Lichtenstein v Luxembourg perhaps?<br /><br />Further, Juppe's nonsense and so much else from the passing parade of self-selecting elite over 50 years - including incidentally Heath, who said on British TV "I have never understood why ordinary people bother their heads with such things - why don't they leave it to politicians?" serves only to confirm to yet more millions what has been all to obvious to many for decades, that the EU is not just undemocratic but positively anti-democratic and totally uninterested in the views of "ordinary" people. Even to the extent of enforcing decades of poverty on tens of millions of people in their attempts to keep alive their dream and our nightmare.<br /><br />One thing above all they should realise - when push comes to shove, there are not tens but hundreds of millions of us and only a handful of them.<br /><br />As Sir Richard Body MP replied to a constituent who had complained about our involvement in the EU, "This will not be settled here in Parliament but on the streets". As indeed it will be, before very much longer.Idris Francishttp://www.fightbackwithfacts.comnoreply@blogger.com
