  1. 2 interesting articles:http://weil.blog.lemonde.fr/2016/07/01/souvenons-nous-de-churchill-proposons-la-nationalite-francaise-aux-britanniques/#.V3fTqsrLGjI.email

  2. Getting back to the original thread, the quality of debate on both sides has been dreadful. The hypocracy of some is unbelievable. The following quote from Boris( Feb 2016) is nearer the truth.

    " Leaving would cause business uncertainty , while embroiling the government for years in a fiddly process of negotiating new arrangements so diverting energy from the real problems that have nothing to do with Europe."

    He refused to deny on the Today programme recently that he had written 2 articles for the Telegraph, one setting out thee Remain argument and the other for Brexit, and when he had finally made up his mind he telephoned to give the go ahead for the relevant article!

    I am sure there are others on the remain side.
  3. It's getting out of hand:

    Royaume-Uni : une députée pro-européenne grièvement blessée par balle, la campagne contre le Brexit suspendue

    Une députée britannique se trouve dans un état critique, jeudi 16 juin, après avoir été blessée par balles jeudi à Birstall (nord de l'Angleterre), selon les médias britanniques. Jo Cox, une députée travailliste de 41 ans favorable à l'UE, aurait également été poignardée, selon la chaîne Channel 4 News. Des témoins affirment que son agresseur aurait crié "Britain First" ("La Grande-Bretagne d'abord"), au moment d'accomplir son geste. Un homme de 52 ans a été arrêté, a annoncé la police. Le camp des pro-européens a aussitôt annoncé la suspension de la campagne en vue du référendum sur le Brexit, prévu le 23 juin.

  4. I understand the smart money is on him becoming an Independent by the end of the year. I believe it is UKIP policy in such events to stand down and force a by-election.

    Carswell had told the leadership he did not want 15 extra staff, to carry his bags!

    I also understand that as they consider themselves not part of the old "establishment" they are not wishing to get on any gravy trains!!!!
  5. I think there was a hint of things to come, in his resignation speech. He said that unusually for a politician he was a man of his word, he was resigning and he intended taking a holiday over the summer and may put his name forward for a leadership contest in the Autumn! Now you see me , now you don't!!
  6. This is the same Marine who compared muslims in France to the nazi occupation:

    and also a fervent supporter of Putin:

  7. We know he will do anything to get on the gravy train.

    He recently allied UKIP with a far(far) right party in order to keep extra funding:

    Robert Iwaszkiewicz's decision to join the EFDD group means it has members from enough countries to increase its funding and presence in the parliament.
