Then we sell the Saudis more arms and test out all our new drones. Or as Dave said "I love it when a plan comes together."Frasslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253774764267826847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-40653864111300219372016-02-15T10:09:54.139+00:002016-02-15T10:09:54.139+00:00The EU will limp along for a while, though eventua...The EU will limp along for a while, though eventually its component parts will fracture into individual nations perhaps loosely 'aligned' with various well-meaning platitudes to make it seem they are still of like mind.<br /><br />The biggest damage to the EU however is, irrespective of who stays or goes (if leaving is allowed, and I am convinced we would not be allowed to depart, not least because parliament doesn't want to re-write 40 years of laws) is the forthcoming civil wars in Europe. Currently Germany has taken the cork out of a bottle that ought to have remained stoppered and the incoming crowds are not as one, despite their supposedly peaceful religion. As different branches of the cult so obviously hate each other, Europe will see with more young men arriving and the free flow of arms and ideology an increase in conflicts between one lot and another. As this will break out openly as a war in time, plus the increase of sensible people horrified by corrupt socialist governments and greedy, selfish bureaucrats, Europe is pretty much doomed. <br /><br />We might yet be glad of the channel, though we may have to brick up that damned tunnel.stenglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683263644032875337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-31498433300843787782016-02-15T08:36:23.906+00:002016-02-15T08:36:23.906+00:00Like Hitler's Germany the EU may ride supreme ...Like Hitler's Germany the EU may ride supreme for a while conquering all but it will be short lived. Union of sovereign states rarely survive especially if they combine states with different cultures, languages, aspirations and abilities. Most end acrimoniously and bloodily. <br /><br />The USA is a rare example of a union surviving but only because they do have commonality even the same antecedents. In fact if the UK wanted to enter a union then the USA or other Anglo-Saxon countries would be the place to go. The UK has never entertained that idea of a union of Anglo-Saxon nations so why we should wish to do so with the EU is rather bizarre.<br /><br />So as we are likely to remain a member of the EU I doubt it will be permanent. The EU will fall apart at some point unfortunately the time of membership and the ending of it will be very damaging. Hopefully at least the divorce will be a peaceful one.Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.com
