. So your point about them being a financial basket case is wrong.

and Italy the other long term nett contributor is basically a financial and political basket case .

Read it again and search around for some more spread sheets they are always good for a half an hour of political propaganda.
And the yellow jackets are having a nice peaceful time outside Macron's Palace.

All is well on the other side of the channel.

Your arguments/opinions usually tread on thin ice but this really takes the biscuit. What's wrong with a German Newspaper such as De Zeit.

If ever something proves that you digest incorrect factual information, it's posting this link. I mean it's not even in German! If you look a bit closer into the publication that you have referenced, they have been outed for posting fake news on several occasions over the last few years. This is why the Russians have a field day with the electorate of the UK and US when it comes to political events. They prey on nothing short of pure ignorance.

It has over a half million fans on Facebook, and its stories are a mixture of factually true tabloid stories (“Naked Man Launches Attack in Phuket Airport After Overdosing on Viagra”) and astoundingly fake ones (“Justin Bieber Shapeshifts Into Reptile at Airport Causing MASS PANIC”)."

You can see the Russian stuff a mile away, the biggest tell is English words that are spelt phonetically wrong in a way no English speaker would, and the mixture of UK English with US English.

Putting a Y where an I should be, I am pretty sure if you get a real expert on the way Ruskies speak English you could mark half of English Reddit comments as russian using a software parsing function. For example someone from Russia has really hard time to tell the word "bag" from "back" and it spills over when they guess how to write something, something to do with not using that sound in thier lingo much, just as they say "muzza" instead of "mother" as the "TH" sound is not used much.

if you go on something like r/politics every 4th post is like this.

I have but haven't really seen anything that I would classify as 'directly influencing'.... a bunch of ads or dodgy Russian twats or tweets....really? There must be something a bit more skuldugerous than that....surely.

what I don't get is that the public were allowed to have a say on whether they wanted a fantasy brexit (referendum 2016) but yet they are not allowed a say on whether they want a realistic brexit (Parliament vote only 2018)

surely now we know what Brexit actually means, as opposed to Farage's made up nonsense there needs to be another vote ? :rubchin:

You still have the problem of the question .

Is it stay in if the EU will allow it against accept the deal on offer . Or reject the deal on offer and leave without it. Or all three ?

it's a well used tactic from Brussels .

I will agree with you on one thing - the question cannot have more than 2 answers.

In order of Preference I would like
1) No Deal Brexit
2) Stay in the Eu





3) May's half in half out and get screwed by each nation ,not really Brexit !

BTW Its been little spoke about but there has been one Brexit deal done should we go ahead and thats the City of London's deal with Brussels which unlike Theresa Mays has been negotiated and agreed a long time ago although its details are beginning to leak a bit .
Few people know or realise but the City of London is in itself a independent state allbeit within the UK and business will go on as usual regardless of what happens as the Powers that be within it are so powerful that even Brussels has made a number of concessions and the City will trade with it on equal terms ,hard or soft Brexit. :shock: 8) :shock:
