Archiesgrandad Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Is there room for a more considered post about the comments Tusk made, without all the bullsh*t and yahoo of the other posting? I am sure that I'm not the only one who is appalled by Tusks outburst. As has been stated elsewhere, the Uk has been one of only two countries that pay in the money that runs the EU, and enables the Tusks and Barniers of the EU to enjoy their fabulous salaries and other perks, and pays the subsidies that have enabled the Macrons and other leaders in the EU to continue to enjoy their time in the limelight. I will also point out that in a few months time we will be remembering the Normandy landings, in which 160,000 allied troops gave their all to bring to an end to the occupation of almost all of the continent of Europe from a cruel and oppresive dictator. Of those 160,000 men, 83,000 were American and 73,000 were troops of the British Empire, the remaining 4,000 were from the other allied nations, including 170 soldiers of the Free French Army led by De Gaule. ( De Gaule was not amongst them because he was considered so treacherous by his peers that they did not even tell him of the plan.) I think that time will eventually enable us to see what the actual outcome of the present situation is, and I have more to lose than most of you, but I think that the outburst from Tusk should not go unremarked, and the EU should take such action as is required to help Tusk understand his mistake in saying such things, and if my sentiments are echoed across the EU, then it will become a better place.

malc d Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Not sure what all that has to do with Tusks outburst. He was simply expressing his frustration with the clowns who brought about Brexit without having any kind of plan ready for what comes after. I would think that quite a lot of people feel the same. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Pat Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 As I have said elsewhere what he actually said was there was a special place in hell for politicians who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan. It just exposes the genius of Donald Tusk. To be offended by his tweet / speech, you have to admit to not having a plan for delivering Brexit, despite promoting it to the British people with lots of empty promises. You can't be offended without proving yourself ignorant at best, fraudulent at worst. Are you aware that you pay more to Northern Ireland as a subsidy than we paid into the EU on an annual basis? My father took part in the Normandy landings and was subsequently BAOR until 1947 what he witnessed over that time damaged him for the rest of his life. As you are keen to introduce the war i suggest that you take note that it was Churchill who proposed a United States of Europe in 1946. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletguy Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Archiesgrandad - 2019-02-07 12:31 PM Is there room for a more considered post about the comments Tusk made, without all the bullsh*t and yahoo of the other posting? I am sure that I'm not the only one who is appalled by Tusks outburst. Why? He stated a clear fact many of us have known about for the past two and half years, including i suspect, some Brexiters albeit grudgingly. "By the way, i've been wondering what that special place in Hell looks like for those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan to carry it safely" In other words he was aiming it at Gove, Johnson, Farage etc who championed the Brexit cause "without even a sketch of a plan to carry it safely".....and that is correct isn't it? None had a plan. Having lit the bonfire they all ran off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Pat Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's also worth noting that we didn’t see this outcry when: Priti Patel said we should starve the Irish, again. BoJo said that the EU were trying to create a superstate like Hitler had. Hunt said Eastern European countries had joined the EUSSR Daniel Kawczynski incorrectly claimed Britain received no money from the Marshall plan Mark Francois utilised his father’s second world war experiences to criticise the German CEO of Airbus, David Davis said that if “our civil service can cope with world war II it can easily cope with this” JRM invoked every european war from Crecy through Agincourt and Trafalgar onwards Respect is a two way street.....

You've avoided the question. What destination plan was in place? Will you please link to some credible fact on that as i'd like to see evidence. Continually evading the question suggests you can't, and we know you can't because there wasn't anything was there? ps; I gather you've had a quick change of mind and decided not to bin your passport as you love an EU country that much you spend half the year out of the UK!!

Archiesgrandad Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Try to play nicely lads, you can kick 7 bells out of one another on a different post, let's be grown up on this one. We did have a very clear, well defined plan when Cameron went to Brussels to explain that were were not happy with their plans. We planned to have serious discussions with our friends in order to help them find a new way of retaining their Union, changing democratic accountability, revising the ruinous CAP, restoring fairness in the fisheries policy, and lots more. As the UK was not actually allowed to be a fully participating member in the Common Market, we wanted to agree some trade deals that could restore equality. We had not expected that response would be to throw all their toys out of the pram and refuse to even talk about it. Be fair, it still seems to be remarkable that when faced with the reality that the fifth richest country in the world, one of the major importers of EU products, and the only other net contributor to EU funds, says that things need to change or they are leaving, that there was no meaningful discussion about what might be possible. We recall that at the time of the Normandy Landings Russia was too busy invading Eastern Europe with a view to creating their own undemocratic empire to be involved, but unlike De Gaule we did tell them. I suppose my real problem is that notwithstanding all that has transpired over the past 100 years or so, we are not seen as worthwhile friends of at least some of the EU countries whom we tried to help at such considerable cost over the years, and they all appear to be so far in hock to Germany that they are not even able to speak up publicly in support of us.

Muswell Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 From day 1 the problem was how you avoid a hard border in Ireland without a hard border in the Irish sea.
