What is the EU?

Chicago by night.

If you're comparing the ghettos of, say, Paris, Brussels and Chicago, they're all pretty bad. If you're comparing these cities more generally, Chicago is way more appealing - great city.

[original PM]

It is an economic and political union of 28 nations, intended to deliver peace, stability and prosperity.

I don't think those words mean what I think you think those words mean.

Blimey, you've never said a truer word when talking about yourself...

oh you are looking for definitions for the EU? I'm sure we can help.


The EU is an essentially corrupt organisation that is unwilling to compromise to save itself or improve life for its members, more interested in winning than people. It is in reality a Dinosaur.

The EU where tax dodging is approved at the highest levels.

The EU an organisation to keep French Farmers happy & German industrialists rich.

So blind is the hate filled man (or woman) they cannot tell players from the played.

You do realise everything you've said is applicable to the UK government. We protect bankers with impunity to the deterrent of all. Our democracy has failed, no one ask for the PM, no one asked for the HoL, no one asked for privatisation of our health service...

You might not like having to ask every EU member for an opinion before a decision is made but that's called representative democracy, its slow but it's fair.

The only information Brexiters have about the EU comes from the reading of right wing hate filled media such as the Daily Blackshirt, the Daily UKIP, the Murdoch Liar, etc. Even muppet head Johnson has said that he made up his stories for the Telegraph when he was their Brussels correspondent...They could Google and search for the relevant information but sadly there are no pictures

No worries there will be a fantastic trade deal with the US. It will probably be similar to the Australian US deal.

AUSFTA Trade agreement

Ten years after AUSFTA came into force, there is enough data to estimate the effects
of the agreement on trade flows and their economic impact. The evidence from a large
panel dataset using the gravity model of trade deployed by the Productivity
Commission suggests that Australian and US trade with the rest of the world fell —
that there was trade diversion — due to AUSFTA after controlling for countryspecific
factors. Estimates also suggest trade between Australia and the United States
fell in association with the implementation of AUSFTA — also after controlling for
country-specific factors.
