I am afraid that although Germany 'lost' both world wars it has actually 'won the peace' through its ownership of the EU, make no mistake Germany calls the shots in EU, they just changed 'Deutschmark' to 'Euro' and carried on taking over Europe state by state. The Euro makes it easy for Germany to rule EU trade, a common currency means that other EU countries cannot undercut it, although tourist dependent countries like Greece, Italy and Spain always need a relatively weak currency to make their destination attractive to tourists.

So by leaving we're just waving the white flag and saying you can have it? Definite change of policy there.

Under the new rules of democracy in the UK ( the definition has been changed during the last 2 years ) the ERG is calling for a re-run of the no confidence vote because Mp's did not understand what they were voting for, and the 'remain with Theresa' party overspent on their campaign. Theresa May did survive but with only around 40 votes in it ( less than 15% of Conservative MP's) she is badly damaged. To achieve that small majority she had to promise not to lead the party into the next election (after her 'one man' handling of the 2017 election where she composed the party manifesto on her own and non of the cabinet was allowed to see it until it was too late to change it - there is a pattern emerging here).

I agree here. Everything seems to be done by means of political tricks and "working the system" to one's advantage. We're losing the point of it all.

the only country's products i refuse to buy are from Zimbabwe and thats due to the atrocity's they done to British farmers. apart from that i buy any produce from any country. why deny myself the pleasure of something because of the flag on the packaging. i know which things to stay away from like Spanish strawberry's but their raspberry's are superb. oohhh and i wont buy from USA for the fact its all tasteless shizz pumped full of chemicals.

i would go as far to say that i find all the variety of foods available from all over the globe amazing. i was eating grapes from Peru last night and they were lovely.

what i have been disappointed with this year is the quality of British fruit and veg but we can only blame the weather for that.

why cant i get leeks from Wales.... lol

England has always hated Europe and thought itself superior.
Well the EU has handed Westminster its @r5e on a plate.
Teresa's only hope is to revoke article 50 and blame the SNP for it, we get the blame for everything else so why not this too.

SNP only rose in popularity because of how badly Scotland is treated by England.

Prediction: the UK is over, England has killed it.

Indeed, got a notification from this board from "random rideouts" and fortunately remembered my login. I see things are a good deal quieter on here these days and alas the meetings/AR and alike are no more, shame that, but hey time passes.

Got a few bike related thing going on including a Wales and Yorkshire Dales trip early next year, but health not been as good as it should, then again not quite dead yet.

Oh and Merry Christmas.
