I wonder how the EU really feels about Brexit?

[GerryT]

You could've gone round twice.

with torches

Then why does it need an ambassador,why Johnson caved in I don't know.

that would be because lisbon gave it five presidents none of whom actualy run the show but all think they should

You only had the beers, so your, no job.

I would have though that the EU needed ambassadors more than any country. If the UK has an issue with France then Johnson can always ph Macron. But who does Johnson Ph if he has an issue with the EU ? he's nobody as there is no leader of the EU. The EU ambassador within the EU offers that connection. The UK doesn't need to have an ambassador from the EU in the UK, it's for the UK's benefit. Likewise the different EU bodies & departments can channel communications through the Ambassador. How else is Johnson to ask for extensions and delays ?

The EU is not a country

Complete contradiction to what you've been saying.

This will of course be evidenced during the course of the afternoon, whilst I am out on the lash.

You keep thinking the EU is a country, its not.

No, it's not, but is treated as one in many international forums. it does not want to be a country just yet, because it can have an extra vote whereas if they were the U.S.E. they would only have one vote for 27 countries.

[johnofgwent]

Who are they
Do UK politicians, like Johnson swear an oath. How does that sit with you when he was found guilty in court for lying to the Queen, in an official govt. position. Does the oath mean anything ? if not whats the point of it, is it just ceremony for you ?

The armed forces swear their allegiance to the Monarch. They used to swear it to the Lord of the Manor for whom they served, who in turn swore his to the Monarch, and after the country realised what a pile of poo republicanism was, and restored the monarch under Charles the 2nd, they swore it to him, and subsequently to the sovereign.

The EU produces, buys and trades all the time

Oh dear Gerry, what were you saying?

[Nick]

The EU is not a country, and you saying it brings warmth to my heart. GDP is a term associated with a country but it can be ever so easily applied to a group of countries such as the EU. Technically a combined GDP, but a GDP it is. This for you must be very complicated and hard to comprehend. Best that you just accept a number of countries GDP added together = that group of countries GDP. In long term (Ireland+France+Germany+....Italy) GDP = EU GDP. That's prob a little tough for you, how about 1banana+1banana+3bananas = 5Bananas. Is it sinking in, combine the group of countries GDP = EU GDP. Lesson finished for today.

Oh, the greatest power within the EU doing what it wants, when it wants. But they're not pulling the strings 😆

Your lack of knowledge about all matters EU is astounding. So after you show the proof that Germany rules the EU, your going to show the EU article that stipulates an EU country is limited in the maximum number of Immigrants it can take in. This is another one of your idiotic statements. You should stick with numbers.

No, it seems you think the EU is a country as you keep posting statistics showing the EU's GDP. I am the one that constantly tells you the EU doesn't buy or sell anything therefore has zero GDP.

Nobody wanted 1m refugees, it was a problem that was put to Europe, not just the EU.
