Re: The Politics Thread
Is it wrong that I'm actually quite enjoying Kim's statements? This would all be great fun if the potential fallout wasn't potential nuclear war, but for now I'm happy to ignore that bit.

Re: The Politics Thread
Ranting like a 13 year old girl on twitter is never a good thing for a grown adult. Let alone when the rant concerns international diplomacy matters. Then we factor in this is the US "president". Its horrific.Hoboh wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2017 7:22 amWell, I suppose it's up there with the perceived nuclear threat to the sharks and whales, I mean come on fatboy just what the fcuk have they ever done to you?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Fri Sep 22, 2017 12:40 pmI don't know about anyone else but I despair and find it unbelieveable at the same time, that one of, if not the most powerful man in the world is posting stuff like this on social media....

Re: The Politics Thread
See all that whining about soft lefty students shutting down that weirdo Tory f*ck in Scotland ended up with it all being nonsense and him a fantasist nutter.

Re: The Politics Thread
Oh that one? Predictable. Hoboh should be along soon with an apology to the lady involved...I'll not hold my breath.
Anyhow, he was a Blairite not in this instance a Tory...(I mean I know what you'll say but whatever)

Re: The Politics Thread
Whatever your view of Brexit, i.e. For/Against, it's about to be impacted big style by two referenda.
Salmond and Sturgeon will be eating their hearts out but Kurdistan and Catalunya are about to transform the World. I predict the EU will begin to fail due to centralisation and nation statehood revolving around these two issues in concert with renewed fiscal difficulties emanating from the PIIGS.

Re: The Politics Thread
Well, to put it into very basic terms, two non-nation states are holding democratic referenda to become nation states. Just like Scotland did. But. In these instances the fascist/dictatorial Powers that be have denied the legality of the democratic process, probably due to the fact that everybody knew the outcome would be world-shatteringly against the quid pro quo.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Sun Oct 01, 2017 9:26 pmReally?

Re: The Politics Thread
Turkey won't allow a sovereign Kurd nation on its doorstep. Not sure what will happen with Catalonia though. I think the actions of the Police there yesterday (Atletico Madrid all over again) will have played right into the separatists hands

Re: The Politics Thread
“Today we have witnessed a nationalistic propaganda act, undemocratic; a coup attempt against Spanish democracy, and so a coup against Europe,” - tweet from Ramón Luis Valcárcel (a member of the European People’s Party)
They'll interfere with the internal politics of Poland and Hungary thoughThe EU Commission issued a statement: “For the European Commission, as President Juncker has reiterated repeatedly, this is an internal matter for Spain that has to be dealt with in line with the constitutional order of Spain.” (or: nothing to do with us!)
Common theme?The Spanish Government thinks its an undemocratic coup against the ideals of the EU.
EU, EU, EU!
They couldn't' bully the UK about holding a referendum (albeit they are trying to bolt the stable door now) but God help anyone else who tries, don't like losing or even the thought of losing 'unity' do they? Why, people might just start questioning their existence and what the real aims of the Europhiles are.
Re: The Politics Thread
It's got as much to do with the EU as Ian Tomlinson. You're obsessed with the EU.

Oh, one day laddie as you get older, the blinkers will slip.
Wait until the EU decide it needs its own police force as well as army, next step the Soviet Union re-born but with a nicer face.
