Any news yet on why you gave us that absolute s*** about the citizens of Poland wanting to leave the EU ? Caught lying again I guess Bur when they are asked if they wish to re-join the number is less than 15% I did not write Poland wanted to leave it's there government that want it.

And that’s not true either, a couple of members of the government I just don’t get why you can’t tell the truth. This weeks do you think Brexit has gone well 56% no 35% yes.

No, they don't and if you had the slightest idea just how much development aid Poland has had, and is stil receiving, from the EU you would understand why. There is some similarity though between Brexiteers and the Polish Government - they both believed they can have their cake and eat it:: Brexiteers were stupid enough to believe that they could leave the EU whilst retaining all the benefits that they actually liked about being in the EU - turns out that they were spectacularly wrong. The Polish Government was stupid enough to believe that they could remain in the EU and keep the cash flowing but not stick to the rules - we'll see what happens but I think you can be sure they won't get away with it but since they are still the 'club' they will undoubtedly strike some sort of compromise and come out of it OK.

KernowCanary 214 Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Sam Fender bringing up Brexit on his debut album made me switch it off, but what he said in that song is still true. I just don’t like it being mentioned in songs and TV dramas. It’s bad enough with Eastenders going on about it. It’s all very well and good saying to switch the TV off, but the other half always has it on, so escape is impossible.

horsefly 4,287 Posted October 17, 2021 Daily Express Headline: Merkel outrage as Germany 'sourcing gas destined for UK' after plunging Europe into crisis And here's the one line in the article that shows the headline is nothing more than xenophobic bating: "The energy expert said: "Germany is having to source gas from elsewhere, so it's adding to the demand pressures on gas that is also, potentially, destined for the UK." So, from the headline misquote, "sourcing gas destined for the UK", we get to the genuine quote, "...potentially, destined for the UK". In other words, gas NOT destined for the UK. Dreadful, hateful journalsim in every respect. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
