The problem, for me, is that the EU will eventually go tits up anyway. The PIGS countries are not going to stand by and do nothing for ever - well, Ireland might.

May be best to get ahead of the game now, sort out some trade agreements elsewhere and watch from the sidelines as the whole shebang implode.

Millions of young people in Southern Europe have been sacrificed to EU austerity measures. Sooner or later they will fight back.

I think a bigger risk for the EU will be the V4. When they are forced to take in immigrants it will be fun. They have already said no but the EU can enforce it. If they do, good luck If they don't then its not fair on other countries. I would not want to be one of those immigrants unless I was a good old Christian or white.
Germany would be the obvious solution as they took in over 1m immigrants who have the rights to now move anywhere in the EU - without consulting the other EU countries. That appears to have caused some ructions on Germany and Merkel is no longer as popular as was with Macron trying to take up the EU leader role.
There's definitely an increasing momentum by the peasants to revolt at the EU. It hasn't gathered enough pace yet but it may well do.
Don't forget there isn't a problem with the EU that can't be solved by more EU in the minds of our good mate Junker etc. It certainly is not an institution that appears to practice pragmatism.

And our own Justin "Wonga" Tomlinson has been appointed a jr minister in the DWP in the reshuffle.
But a backbencher has been promoted to Attorney General, bypassing our other MP, Robert Buckland, who is the current Solicitor General. I'm assuming that's a bit of a snub for Bobby B, but tbh I don't know a whole lot about the AG promotion ladder (although AG is a bigger job than SG isn't it?)

Indeed...the SG is the AG's deputy.

So this Project Fear stuff....

In 2016 the government tell us: "No deal is better than a bad deal"

In 2018 the government, by their actions, tell us: "Stock up on tinned goods like you're prepping for the apocalypse"

As far as I am concerned the EU is a protectionist anti free trade organisation run by the Germans for the Germans

So LL, Trump is now saying that the Germans are a captive of Russia.... so does that mean Putin runs the EU?

Quite jaw-dropping hypocrisy, even for him. Pots and kettles and all that

And again today, backtracking on his Sun interview by describing it as "fake news" - they've released the audio recording of exactly what you said, you massive lying cockwomble.

The Chequers press conference (on now) is full of jaw-dropping moments.

It's a shame more people don't turn up to protest against our own shit show government instead of worrying more about Trump

I know. Just saying it's typical of people to worry more about what Trump says than the shit storm, we are currently in ourselves
