You certainly didn’t get grammatically correct… and does anyone know how you can fight a war in a politically correct way? I mean, you’re killing people and blowing up their homes… If you don’t understand, look at Chicago.
Anyway, if I were you, I’d not talk so much about war, when you are trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize, you dumbass, particularly as you dodged the Vietnam draft five times because daddy was rich enough to pay a doctor to say you had bone spurs.
I suspect that you, Heggy, were too drunk to notice that the Commander in Chief was a fat old man and that the Deputy Commander in Chief was a far from slim dude, with a beard… oh and that they both wear makeup (as of course, do you). Very masculine!
Scotland, back in 2016, voted to remain in the EU. Not one single constituency in Scotland was in favour of leaving. So we were more in line with our EU partners, as, to an extent, was the north of Ireland, where the areas to the west and the south wanted to stay, and the northern and eastern parts wanted to leave. Gibraltar, not a part of the UK but an overseas territory, voted to stay by 95.91%.
Scotland
Leave 38.0% (1,018,322)
Remain 62.0% (1,661,191)
Turnout: 67.2%
The thing that has always seemed unfair to me is that arrangements have been made for the north of Ireland which leave it pretty much a member and a few of my friends from the north have Irish passports and can travel far more freely than I can.
As far as I can make out, Gibraltar seems, after some initial hiccups, remained in a situation quite similar to that pre-referendum.
Wales and England voted to leave, although it seems it was the area of Wales which adjoins England that was for Brexit.
Scotland voted quite strongly to remain but got nothing.
That seems unfair. If concessions were made for the north of Ireland and for Gibraltar, why not for Scotland? As I have mentioned before, the Kingdom of Denmark consists of three semi independent countries: Denmark, a full member, Faroes, which has never been a member, and Greenland, which was a (reluctant) member until it got Home Rule in 1982, at which point it voted to leave.
I appreciate that, of course, like Ireland and Gibraltar, the islands of Greenland and Faroes are separated physically from the mainland and Scotland is not, so that could create possibe difficulties, but surely not insurmountable ones.
Again islands, but we managed to cope with the situation when we were members of the EU and the states of Guernsey, Jersey and Man were not.
I’m no fan of Miliband, but I kinda doubt that it has much to do with his net zero policies, and a lot to do with the fact that this bin fire of a country has privatised electricity companies and France has a now wholly government electricity company (Electricité de France) which has a remit to provide electricity across the country at an affordable price, while it charges customers in Britbin FAR more. The French government makes money from British households.
In May 1948 Winston Churchill declared at the launch of the Congress of Europe: 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲.
Churchill’s dream has nearly come true. Today, 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 is either in the EU or has applied to join.
The outsiders? 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮, 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘂𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻.
Yesterday, Moldova confirmed its path to EU membership when its people voted by a decisive majority for the pro-EU governing party, PAS, to remain in office.
The election was clouded by credible allegations of widespread Russian interference, echoing claims of Russian meddling during elections in Romania, France, Germany, the Netherlands…
…and yes, also in the UK, where the Brexit vote wasn’t just a dream of Putin’s – he helped make it happen.
Despite Putin’s efforts to destabilise the European Union in pursuit of a hybrid Soviet Union, the EU remains 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴, 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Even far-right parties such as Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France have abandoned talk of leaving the EU. They know it’s a vote-loser. Instead, they now propose reform from within.
Frexit, Grexit, Italexit, Polexit, Huxit… all off the table.
Churchill called for a union of Europe as the antidote to war, on a continent where both world wars began and where there had been hundreds of wars and conflicts, together with dictatorships.
The EU has helped to make war between its members unthinkable.
𝗡𝗼 𝗘𝗨 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 – a remarkable achievement for which the Union won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Despite absurd claims that the EU is collapsing, the facts say otherwise:
the world’s biggest trading bloc
one of the planet’s three largest economies, with the USA and China
the euro, the world’s second most traded currency
frictionless trade and free movement across 31 nations in the EU Single Market
democratic, rules-based governance agreed by all members
a global standard-bearer for rights of workers, consumers, travellers and citizens
𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘆-𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 are now either in the EU, its Single Market, or have applied to join.
The UK is the only EU member ever to have left. No other country is following.
Does Britain really want to remain an outsider, lumped with Russia and Belarus?
Brexit offers no benefits, only enormous downsides.
Um, didn’t you take that into consideration when you decided to stand for the council? Did you not know what the pay would be and compare it to your pay at GBNews?
Incidentally, I understood that your were suspended by GBNews for sexual harassment of a junior member of staff. So, did they take you back?
