No, the teachers make the rules, the biggest kid teams with the third biggest kid and tells you what to do. You can go against it, but they’ll tell the other kids to send you to Coventry, and they turn Greece upside down and shake ‘em for not donating their pocket money.
Imagine being the second-biggest kid in the playground.
You help make the rules. You have friends everywhere. You can join in with almost anything.
Then someone persuades you that you’ll be more powerful standing outside the fence.
That’s Brexit.

Imagine equating (Kapos) prisoners (often under severe coercion) in a system of mass murder and systematic brutality to people discussing trade discrepancies.
A grotesque comparison. cheapening the horrors of the past, just to fail to score a point in a Brexit argument.
I do. They are basically concentration camp capo's.
Knowing accomplices, denying the truth and still going along with it.

People don’t want supranational governance.
Supra - above/beyond - national
Why would anybody want that, unless you want to give away your democratic agency ?
It’s quite simple really.
Giving the EU more control over policies in Britain doesn't pass the Makerfield test. The responses from Makerfield voters in this @Survation poll are staggering.
Huge support for 'UK government alone' position across policy areas. For example, close to 80% believe VAT should be set only by the UK government -- incompatible with EU or Single Market membership.

It’s a bloody good point.
The EU has always been about the subjugation of nation states in the interest of the ‘whole’,
With disastrous results for ‘Europe’
The parts becoming less than they would have become as an intergovernmental collective.
Norway has rejected EU membership twice, in 1972 and 1994.
Today, it remains one of Europe's wealthiest countries, with a population of just 5.6 million.
A prosperous economy, enormous national wealth and control over major areas of its own national policy.
Norway is living proof that a country doesn't need EU membership to prosper.
And now even Norway's Prime Minister is warning Britain about surrendering too much control to Brussels.
That's a warning Britain should be discussing.

Now, why would they need Ukrainian as a second language, I wonder. 🤔
Proud to announce that students in England will be able to study Ukrainian at GCSE.
It’s a chance for pupils to explore Ukraine’s rich culture and history and, for the Ukrainian community to remain connected to their heritage.
This is another step in our enduring support for Ukraine as part of the 100 Year Partnership 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Can I call for a big global thank you to Britain…
Slavery was nearly universal across cultures for millennia. A major power voluntarily dismantling its own profitable system and then spending treasure and blood to stop others is exceptional.
A huge moral shift
Thank you 🇬🇧

So, let me get this straight.
The UK is doing so badly by not being in the EU that it is being asked to subsidise development of countries…. in the EU.
The EU/UK reset.
Another attack on our farmers?
Stop the reset , stop Burnham.
The #EUReset wants the UK to have certificate-free borders with the EU, but the EU is full of animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, African Swine Fever in pigs and wild boar, Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in sheep and goats, and Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) in cattle.
Why would any farmer or meat and dairy consumer want a certificate-free border with the EU?
#stoptheEUreset
If we ever end up back in the EU (god forbid!) I want a guarantee that in the accession treaty that an in/out referendum is held every 10 years.
..For all members
If the EU is as good and popular as it says it is, and as democratic as it says it is… it’s got nothing to lose.
