Brexit, for once some facts.

[oldgroaner]

I see you have expanded your argument by introducing other countries and offer Russia and China as shining examples, Germany is of course a bait which I will ignore but you have not countered my comment regarding the USA's lack of history therefore not comparable.

To create a true autonomy it should be solely based on equality for all regardless of all other considerations and this European group of countries are too diverse to achieve that.

You also feel the need to try and inflame the argument by referring to me as "oh wise one" I am afraid it has the opposite effect as it is inhumane act.

Also feel free to continue to spell check my submissions.

Who mentioned Shining examples? I simply pointed out that there is no proof of your assertion that disparate nations cannot form the largest human societies on the planet,
What comment about Americas lack of History?
Remind me when you mentioned that
"28 countries with different cultures and histories melding together as one and comparable to the set up of the United States of America, I agree, therein lies the shear folly."
Was your last post.
America was formed from people from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Japan, etc, etc.
You can't get much more Diverse than that, and you are jesting about equality. as even now the coloured races in America struggle to be treated as equals, and remain the Target of choice of the American police force it seems, and other racial groups such as those of Spanish origin fare little better.
America wasn't founded on Equality, not by any stretch of the imagination.
Your assertion is simply ill informed nonsense.

Does anyone notice a slight contradiction in philosophy here? I'm becoming very confused.

A bit late to qualify the import of your earlier post, don't you think?
While they were here they were not fighting for Poland, it was already irremediably lost, and they could simply have settled down in exile, but no, they decided to fight with us against Germany.
The post literally stated
"More rubbish.
The Poles did not fight for Britain, they fought for Poland.
Lots of them also joined the Wermacht."

It was hardly complimentary to the Poles, now was it? where does the word "Rubbish" fit in with the new spin you have put on it?

They were fighting for Poland in the RAF.
Honourable men, not mercenaries.
You jumped to conclusions claiming that I wanted to malign the Poles.

No, you tried to use them to score points, didn't you? with a sarcastic post belittling them.

Oh Tom, you aren't expecting rational behaviour from the Brexit fans are you?

From the ever immoral Express
"
Canny British officials swerve strict EU laws banning pre-Brexit trade deal with Australia
STRICT EU laws ban Britain from entering into formal trade negotiations with Australia until Brexit is complete - but wily Government staff have already begun "informal" chats to ensure the UK gets the best possible deal."

Dishonourable but then that's the way things are, Brexiters will go for this in a big way

How many kangaroo steaks can you eat though....really? I suppose there must be something we can sell them which would help our balance of trade....hand-crafted pieces of willow perhaps.....emm, maybe not! They seem to do ok with what they have.

I hate to say this but people that end every post with a sign off of their own name is a bit of an idiot.

We KNOW you have posted said post as you have posted it on your OWN login. Everyone can see it. It's like a grandiose version of self publishing on a message board. It's just pathetic.

We know you posted your post. You do not need to sign off with your name.

We know who posted. We can extrapolate who sent said post. It isn't a letter. It's a post. The information is there.

Well, "Fingers" also known as "The Colonel" is seems a little odd that putting a Moniker like "The Colonel" at the end of your post, is acceptable to you when someone using their own name isn't.
Bit of a case of the Pan calling the Kettle Black, don't you think?
By the way the use of "is" in that context is incorrect "are" is more appropriate. ie;
"people that end every post with a sign off of their own name are a bit of an idiot " (add in my humble opinion at this point)
And when expressing a personal opinion it should be "I" not "we" as you are not expressing a collective view.
Perhaps I should add using your parlance I am responding on behalf of some theoretical "Them"?
When entering into a discussion it is bad manners to begin with an off topic personal attack on those already present, but if you want to make yourself look a bit of an idiot, it will certainly work.
Well done.
Care to make some comment that is actually on topic to the discussion?

all joking aside, the Pound continues to fall. It probably won't stop until the tories have all committed harakiri. At this rate, your £2,000 budget will only buy you a Chinese bike.

Glad you spelt it that way, kernel would make you a nut case.

Signing off with one's own name isn't necessarily idiocy though. I also work in a totally different forum which is friendly and where people are grateful for answers received, since there are no aggressively posting hostile cyclists present.

So in there, as well as operating under my online name of flecc, I sign off each post with my true first name.

Here's an example.

There is this puzzling,vaguely distressing phenomenon

being thick enough to confuse the eu with the tories and misdirect a protest vote is one thing. Sticking to it till death us do part is quite something else
