It's strange that I can't find a source for that quote anywhere...

How is the EU a communist block?

How is the EU a communist block?

Unelected quizzlings, no democratic vote on political decisions made.(when there has been votes they've been ignored) oh yes and a brainwashed public with stockholm syndrome. Look at how the UK never had a say on joing the EU.

Unelected quizzlings,

Are they young people who like quizzes

Yes most definitely.

Ironical accusation because the EU has been transformative to those countries that were part of the old true Communist bloc in helping them achieve improved wealth and democracy.

Did this not happen in the same alternate universe as your made up Gorbachev quote came from?

(And it's spelled Quisling, btw)

You do not leave Soviet EU, Soviet EU leaves you.

I believe he is probably suggesting that vote was for the Common Market and not what is now the EU.  That ignores the Treaty of Rome though - so if the UK voted based on some adverts, that's it's own fault.  The transition of it's structure was not voted on by any nation, but the original objectives made it clear this is where it was headed, so tough luck.

Given that he seems to think one of the biggest free market experiments the world has ever seen is a communist plot, I suspect he doesn't know what he's suggesting, he's just parroting whatever shite he's picked up from InfoWars or some such. Although tbf I suspect Paul Watson at least does actually know how to spell Quisling. What with him being on the same side and all

The EU is as neoliberal as they come, look what they did to Greece when the Greeks voted against austerity. Couldn't be further from communism unless it went full fascism.

Ah, but in the mirror world of the new right, they're all the same thing EU=communism=fascism=Islam. Everyone's a fascist apart from the fascists, according to the fascists.

EDIT: didn't mean to imply Sir Red Ken is a fascist, btw. Just a bit credulous, maybe, in where he gets his info from

It seems that the EU is communist and also fascist and also that the UK is fighting on the beaches etc as it is on the brink of becoming some sort of feudal vassal state.

yeh, sure.

I'm not a fascist and my family is mixed race.However I'm against political extremists as history has shown us the damage they do. I don't follow info wars or take advice from Tony (weapons of mass destruction) Blair or Multi Millionaire Richard Branson who wants us to live under the yoke of the EU while he doesn't. Most of the people who are in politics and are rabbid remain are on the eu payrole, which is funded by us. I worked for a well know tea company who transfered my job to Poland, like fishing, coal, steel and many other industries my job was lost because of the EU.

The new Defence Secretary, thinks Russia is about to launch a cyber attack on the UK, which will lead to thousands and thousands of deaths. 

It might be coincidence that his warning has been revealed at the same time as details of a previous indiscretion of infidelity to his wife has surfaced. Not good after Fallon went, suggesting that the Defence Sec should be someone of the highest probity, after he was found to be a serial groper.

I'd like to know what he's going to do about

Apologies for sharing the quote which started this all off, I never expected it all to go all tin foil hat as quickly as it did....
