One always needs Slough there to remind on how good one has it elsewhere.
Actually, and in all seriousness, Slough is improving year on year and it is a splendid place (or was until George Osborne naffed it up a bit) to invest in a bit of buy-to-let. Fast trains to Paddington, Crossrail coming, Heathrow on the doorstep. Landlord's paradise. It's where I'd buy flats if I had any spare at the moment. I know some people who have done so and are doing pretty well.

Germany thinks it's the Power House of Europe, and acts like it, but what type of Country it would of been today if Hitler had won the war? In fact if he had, the whole of Europe would now be one big conglomeration of German States,which is what they are trying to make the E.U.now. Did we fight two wars to try and stop this? or was there another reason?

Oh yeah, I'll give you Warrington.
And then there's Swindon.

An increasingly common comparison, Hitler and the EU.
Its why the Middle East is so worried about England trying to take it over, you know, what with the Crusades and everything.

Which is gloriously ironic given the Mein Kampf-esque undertones of Amber Rudd's outburst this week. If it comes to the point where Mrs A is required to be on 'Ze List' with her employers, then that's it, we're off - with our enormous tax contributions heading elsewhere. |

I am slightly mystified by the position that closing borders, leaving a European group, restricting immigration and obsessing about an islamic takeover is justifiable because it will stop the UK becoming a right wing state.

But a fair one, I imagine. Should not every European Country be allowed to join the E.U if they so desired, or would there be certain Countries that would be "barred" entry to this select club? Do "They" only let in Countries that have something to offer without being a burden? If it was solely about improving Trade and movement between Counties and not financial gain what would be the problem about including Syria, Lebanon, etc etc, or are those places "too much trouble" If the E.U is all about creating one big happy trading place in the world what's the problem?

Thanks.
It's taken awhile for it to arrive on this site, but here it is. The Kipper Wing. Sigh.

Good questions.
Like I said, it is not how people voted that bothers me, we all have positions, it is the reasons that motivated some people.
The EU was not good in many ways. Many things needed/need changing. I think most people agree with that.
Some people believe it was best changed from the inside, some from the outside. Both arguable points of view.
But then you have within the out-voters there is that unpleasant group of ignorant, bigoted, arseheads.

"They" are:
President of the European Council (since 1 December 2014, Donald Tusk)
President of the European Commission (since 1 November 2014, Jean-Claude Juncker)
President of the European Parliament (since 1 July 2014, Martin Schulz)
Presidency of the Council of the European Union (since 1 July 2016, Slovakia)
The current Heads of the mish-mash that run the E.U. To the "common" person they are often Quoted as being "untouchables" because unlike the Prime-Minister the public cannot elect them nor vote them out, that can only be done by the heads of the Member states, which makes them as the "Tag" states virtually untouchable to the whole E.U Citizenship. A very exclusive,selective few.

OK, I must have missed the bit where representatives od Belgium, Poland and Slovakia were volunteering themselves for German vassal-state status.
Given that none of the people you mention have been in their job for even 2 years yet, I'm not really detecting the green shoots of dictatorship. If the heads (of government) of member states constantly change as they do, then their collective choice for these roles will change over time, as it obviously has.
In what way is it undemocratic that our elected heads of government get to make a collective decision on the best person for these roles? Do you want another level of European elections, above the EU Parliament? Do you think the British Civil Service's senior positions should be directly elected?
