In fairness...the reality would likely show numbers aren't massively different in the leave camp either are they?

Yep absolutely. Redistribution of wealth from the Uber rich and those earning in a very loose term the backs of society with no thought to the greater success of the whole.

The "redistribution of wealth from a few for the greater good of the whole" is the epotime of communism. Revolution, respect and self empowerment progresses society, not hand outs, entitlement and self pity.

I agree, plenty of reasons to kick off in Germany.

Oh yes assume.

But this time you are not going to make an ass out of u and me. I have had enough of you twisting everything to make me look like a rabid leaver. And it is normally on subject you know nothing about. Just like now.

Not trying to be funny here, guys, but when arguments tend to come down to a two way he said, she said and on one single point of inconsequential reference, everyone else gets excluded and left out, especially when the debating point goes on and on for quite some time back and forth.

Wouldn't it be better to take it to PM? (And I don't mean Theresa May).

it just become a bit laborious for those browsing through the thread.

I'm sure we've all been guilty of it at some point or another.

Thanks......oh and Merry Christmas.

but there's a point where the uber rich take the piss and the mantra of certain political parties that they are the party for working people becomes just empty rhetoric.

Wanting an end to tax avoiding by corporations who pay fuck all tax and shit wages which have to then be subsidised with benefits from the tax receipts of people like me and you so said corporations can record sky high profits isn't a yearning for communism, it's wanting an end to the working man having the piss taken out of us.

I think people will eventually start protesting more and more about the inequalities, obviously some will try and blame it all on the EU, even after the UK has left.

But we don’t have the problems of the UK or France in Germany. Knife crime for example is rare. Cutting reports on abject poverty are not in the news. The crime rate is low. The refugee crisis has died down. Far right demos are directed at foreigners not the price of fuel or cost of living in germany

On the point of 'what's good for the country', a good start would be for Parliament to fully honour the result of the referendum and for the Government to honour the Brexit pledges in its own manifesto.

The way that would happen would be with no deal as no one has been able to come with a workable solution while respecting the GFA.

A few people? How can you display such cold disregard for your fellow citizens and risk a return to violence and misery?

It’s not going to do the UK’s standing much good either

I said there is plenty of dissatisfaction out there. The Brexit crisis is overshadowing a lot of problems. Ashdown listed some of them recently when talking about the changes in his village.

The only thing stopping demonstrations about the poverty in this country is the constant remain leave battle. If we weren’t at each other’s throats, we may be attacking the people actually responsible for the state of the country. As they are doing in France.

A hard border would be inevitable and exploited by extremists on both sides of he divide.

You’d also be breaking a UN treaty with no regard for the consequences, again, it would majorly effect the UK’s standing on the international stage.

The French uprising is about many things, but at least the target is the right target, which is why they are winning concessions which they haven’t actually specifically demanded.

You would not be breaking a UN treaty and it’s covered by an option in the Treaty - the uk could legitimately not enforce it and therefore it would be the Eu enforcing it

You have as many blaming the EU for everything as you do saying that the EU is at fault for nothing. It is as they say going from one extreme to another.

For instance what is happening in France ATM is loosely connected to the EU. But it isn't the fault of the EU. It is to do with the way past and present French governments have handled the situation. It is to do with the French governments having to keep within EU rules and regulations.

The problem is that Macron has now backed down on part of what the problem is. But it looks like they could fail to meet borrowing targets set by the EU. It isn't just fuel duty that is going to be much lower than expected. Tax revenues are also going to be much lower. Macron gave tax breaks and also a higher living wage.

So if France is over borrowing limit.its what will happen?

The French dispute is because Macron is symbolic of EU rule. Worship the rich abd ensure they get richer while squeezing the middle classes to pay for it
