Politics So...Europe then?

[Scouse]

Aye like this doozy, thanks.

Yep. Tongue in cheek, winking smiley. Not cherry picking much there given all the context eh?

No worries..the Express has moved straight onto Italexit...which unfortunately doesnt roll of the tongue.

Italexit could DESTROY Eurozone: Expert’s stark warning to EU amid rocky Italy relations

 

[BloodOmen]

Lol, Italy? what's next, Grexit? neither of them can afford to leave the EU at this point. Given the debt they owe, what they'd have to repay would fucking sink them if they tried to go at it alone.

That said, I see the EU's own lawyers are now pretty much demanding that EU leaders don't try and FORCE the UK to pay this ridiculous £90billion bill as it would backfire on them, this should be interesting.

I'd like to see a breakdown of the charges...I'm very confident that it would fully expose the farcical spending and corruption of the EU.
The European papers would have a field day...500 million on protecting immigrant culture...2 billion for loans to Greek opera houses....you can just imagine it.

 

[Embattle]

We were always one of the most Eurosceptic countries in the EU but I don't think most leavers have some overwhelming desire to see the EU collapse, but that doesn't mean they would be shocked if another country did leave should the EU go in the wrong direction.

I wouldn't be surprised if Italy held a referendum, whether they'd leave or not I don't know.

I thought you were the champion of not believing experts?

If youre referring to the doom merchant experts after the referendum...then yes..thats me.

Depends on how far the Five Star Crowd movement goes

They are a very shady party

The party is run by a dude who uses his own business to service "new forms of democracy" with all internal party voting happening online via a company he also owns with zero transparancy or independent verification, oddly enough his views always seem to win within his party...

Or the science experts on climate change, or food health..

Or scientific sociological studies about race. Or gender. Or sexual preference.

Basically any expert that doesn't say what you already think, right?

 

[Job]

Food health is the most corrupted science there is,.almost the entire consumption by the masses is from bullshit studies and pseudo quack science from hippy nutritionalists and people selling overpriced shit.
Eventually they cracked down on factless bolaks from 'healthy' food advertisers...thats why Yakult just has Japanese phrases for its adverts, subconsciously tying its bullshit claim to some mysterious Japanese culture.
Berocca are down to showing a farmer dancing as he works...of course the cretins lap it up and it flies off the shelves.

As for climate change...when they have actual evidence..I'm impressed, when they guess..not so.

Great to see you the Eurovision presented in french or whatever. I like how all the different countries give their results in french or whatever too.

 

[Raven]

Wonderful acceptance speech in french or whatever, so lucky that everyone speaks french or whatever.

I bet that alcoholic, lecherous fraudster is absolutely delighted that English continues to be spoken by a minority.

The Olympics has to be presented in French, no matter where its held.
Everyone rolls their eyes, its not doing the French any favours, just seems desperate.

I've never really been able to work out how the British pretty much invented or codified every modern sport and yet all the governing bodies for those sports ended up being run by the French. Neat trick that.

 

[dysfunction]

It's also how did they manage to keep French as part of the Post Office language.

While we're at it, how about finally fucking latin off...its just snobbery now..tbh us has been for 50 years.

Isn't it because the French created the modern Olympics? Or were they just the first to host it? I can't remember.

Personally? I do not give a shit.

 

[Job]

Yes, they invented it ..that's why everyone who uses anythting we invented has to speak English when using it...oh hang on.

 

[Gwadien]

Why does English have to be used everywhere?

Yes, Pierre de Coubertin, but the sports themselves were largely codified by the British. Most modern track and field events were British rules.

You're bang up to date with your information as always.

I don't expect the vote would be much different today but the other questions ("people are confident in May's ability to deliver") might be answered differently.

Interesting that Hypernormalisation got a nod at the baftas. Well worth a watch for anyone who's not bothered - I defy you to not be interested.
