      You've not read the memo.

      For a hard right EU-hater, if anyone who is involved in the EU does a good thing, they are just as wrong as if they do a bad thing.

      When the answer is "Blame the EU and accept no responsibility yourself", it's funny that some of these people refer to those who are more balanced than them as "snowflakes"
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          I was about to say that the EU weren't blamed for the Falklands War, but then I remember that the Argies used military hardware bought from the French (Mirage & Super Etendard), Aermacchis from Italy and various helicopters, so I guess some will blame the EU for that too.

            French voted for, Polish against, Germany and U.K. roughly split.

            You did all petition your MEP, didn’t you?
            We don't have an MEP, we have a selection of toadies, who brown-nosed their way to the top of a list. In London, for example, I have a choice of 8. I've never heard a peep out of any of the useless s.

              As an outer I'm pretty sure you've heard of Gerard Batten
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Most London MEPs appear to be aligned with S&D, who tended to vote For the law.

                Maybe if a few more Londoners wrote to and petitioned their MEPs and got more involved, you would hear a bit more from them?

                  He's something to do with UKIP, isn't he? Don't assume I align myself with their politics, there are plenty of "Outers" from all political persuasions (with the obvious exception of the Lib-Dooms).

                    If it wasn't for Google, nobody would even have the first idea who their MEPs were. And Google doesn't seem to have their email addresses, probably due to some sort of EU privacy directive in action.
