I couldn't agree more

edit.....but that 350 million statement still doesn't come close to the WW3 statement

Hark at us.........willy waving over who came out with the biggest sh*te last year

Politicians are full of sh*te, happily telling lies to suit themselves, on that we can agree

. Its just a sad state for our democracy that we just accept it as the norm.

It's like listening to a stuck record.

Yep. Last year when I was out campaigning, there were some leaflets that we were given that I was unhappy about giving out and others that I simply didn't give out.

Lets face it Nazi Germany is all over the EU. IF we can't win a war lets do it politically and finacially.

Germany has been the powerhouse in Europe for many years but I wouldn't call it a Nazi nation. Those days have thankfully gone.

Indeed pip as Germany is a vastly different country compared to what it was in the 1930's and 1940's under the evil regime it had then.

It wasn't that long ago that the right wing was nowhere in France. Whether it be extreme left or right, it only takes the right circumstances (e.g. austere times) coupled with a charismatic megalomaniac to change things much for the worse.

We're already seeing the rise of right wing extremism in Europe and Germany certainly isn't immune from that. No Germany isn't a Nazi country but the forces of Nazism are still at work there and elsewhere.

'Forget Remain vs Leave, it's patriots against EU!' Malone SAVAGES Juncker in on-air rant

Carole Malone has said that Jean-Claude Juncker completely changed the debate around Brexit negotiations this week.

In an incredible and impassioned rant on Sky News' The Pledge, Malone said the EU "has tried to discredit this country in the most appalling way".

"It’s people who are on the side of this country and people who side with the EU!"

Well it's perfectly clear which side is trying to do the 'punishing' and which isn't. The EU admits they don't want to set a precedent which leads to further erosion of their pipe dream single European state vision so are desperate not to allow the UK to be seen to benefit from leaving. They'll be delighted if they can show other members that there is no chance of a better way for them outside of the 'club'.

That goes to prove that it's political ideology which is the driving force behind their stance and not a pragmatic desire for 'negotiations' to conclude with a mutually agreeable deal. What they'd really like is for the UK to concede defeat and crawl back into the EU with its tail between its legs ready to continue being one of the largest net contributors whilst being punished for daring to leave in the first place.

Threats and dire predictions are the norm for the EU and just like the referendum it will backfire and as I've said before for something that is supposedly so positive it's bizarre that none of the positives are used to highlight this great organisation. The strategy is completely failing now just as it did before and shows a glaring lack of knowledge about the British people and their psyche and i thought it was only the UK that supposedly didn't bother to get to know it's neighbours. From fanciful divorce costs to warnings on trade it just never ends at the minute and the lackey's in the city sit behind their desks piling it on as of course they never get things wrong.
