    The European Economic Community as it was up to about thirty years ago had something to be said for it. What it turned into - a wannabe United States of Europe with a gaping democratic deficit - is something else.

    Suppose that in America the people had no say in electing the president. Instead he would be appointed by back-room dealings among the governors of the two or three most powerful states, then rubber-stamped by Congress. Oh, you could still vote for your representative, but Congress would never stand up to the real power that runs the Union.

    The underlying assumption here is that TPTB know best. As long as things go smoothly this may not do much harm, but it isn’t democracy. Now: why are American liberals so disdainful of people who choose not to be part of such a system?

    because those people see the truth, and american 'liberals' (the mislabelling discussion aside) need stupid people to thrive now. they're dysgenicists, which are even more evil than eugenicists. sorry to butt in.

    That's what the British government is trying to prevent if the trade talks fail. Sadly, it appears they don't have 100% confidence that the EU would behave honorably if that happened.
    I don't believe for one moment that the EU would act honourably, their track says otherwise. That what the Internal Markets Bill is all about, a mechanism for the UK to stop the EU from playing dirty as is their wont. The EU should welcome it after all they love backstops, don't they?

    EU's £677bn coronavirus rescue package deal may be ILLEGAL, says expert

    WITH the row over Boris Johnson's Internal Market Bill still raging after an admission it will breach international law, a Brussels-based expert has suggested the EU's £677 billion EU's coronavirus rescue package may also be illegal.

    if every European country wasn't a failed state they would never have tried forming the EU........

    It was stupid for the UK to have joined the EU and leaving was the best thing they could do for themselves.

    The slave has regained his freedom. Having broken the fetters of his masters he no longer must be OBEY others who do not care about his welfare and who only see him as providing the slave labor to make them fat.

    Now the UK will be free to reach new levels of economic power. The European Union certainly rues the loss of the free money provided by the UK but absolutely fears the mighty competitor the UK will inevitably become in its new found freedom. No longer will the UK be forbidden to enter treaties and trade deals of benefit to the UK. No longer will the UK have to OBEY commands from unelected officials in another country.

    Free at last, free at last, praise God almighty the UK is free at last.
    Global Warming violates the 1st LoT by claiming a magical creation of thermal energy out of nothing, in the form of a temperature increase, which is somehow caused by a magical substance.
    Greenhouse Effect violates Stefan-Boltzmann and black body science by claiming that an increase in earth's temperature is somehow caused by a decrease in earth's radiance.
    Greenhouse Effect violates the 2nd LoT by claiming that the cooler atmosphere somehow heats the warmer earth's surface.

    In his 3rd term trump will add them to our Union, it is only right that trump the selfish give them a place just under US Samoa & PR...........
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    It goes without saying that any future negotiations with the EU are already crippled, thanks to this stunning gaffe by Johnson’s cohort of clowns. Why negotiate with anyone who’ll simply ignore the terms of any agreement when it suits them?

    The Northern Ireland land border is the only land border with the EU and the UK. The UK proposes to “disapply” (it’s barely even a real word) rules on movement of goods over the border. This is the effectively creating a law that they won’t enforce rules for whatever reason.

    So the vital final negotiations are effectively over, if the UK doesn’t address EU objections to this blatant breach of an existing agreement.

    Then came Boris.
    So far:
    • COVID 19: The UK has the worst death rate in Europe, by far.
    • Brexit: Fiction disguised as policy disguised as sovereignty disguised as patriotism disguised as finding other people to blame for the mess.
    • Trade: There’s a very large hole where British trade used to be. There will be a very large hole until this mess is cleared up.
    • Revenue: Massive debts piling up, revenue base collapsing. What can you spend when you don’t have money?
    • Jobs: How, with an economy in multiple train wrecks at the same time?
    • Dominic Cummings: Who’s Cummings to anybody, and why? What’s he doing there? Who’s running Britain, Johnson or Cummings? Nobody has ever elected Cummings to any post at all, have they? Is it “Prime Minister Cummings”, yes or no, Boris?

    Failed state

    Goodbye, Britain. There’ll always be an England, a Scotland, and a Wales, but not in those tiny little minds.

    http://www.digitaljournal.com/news/w...article/577803
    Fuck international law and fuck you. You cunts rely on making people as stupid as you are because that's the only way your shit makes and fucking sense at all.
