Think you and tigertot might care to study our part in the Berlin air blockade. World war three was about to kick off. Thanks to the bravery and flying skills of several nations including our RAF pilots the crisis was averted. Maybe you would also like to study the Marshall plan that got Europe and Germany back on its feet after the Second World War. So in view of the help Germany has had since the Second World War, not too much to ask is for them to pay a bit more into the kitty.

A few months ago Cronus had a withering put down for several people on here. He quite rightly accused them of being more concerned for people not of this nation. No doubt I will be accused of being a little englander, nationalist etc etc. Meanwile In the real world a referendum took place, one side lost and one side one. Funny how people have forgotten that.
Did you deliberately lie about Germany paying virtually nothing or are you just ignorant? I have more in common with my family in Germany & Eastern Europe than I have with the racists & xenophobes of the UK. I am European.

so the deal they are looking at means an end to free movement and we dont have to pay into that EU buckets anymore
sounds good to me
lets face it, the whole referendum was in the main about immigration (also having our own laws and not paying £350m a week to the EU)
strange how thats not being talked about now and all it seems to be about on the news is trade deals...... money men having their say/influence on the media again.
anyway lets see if it passes first, not looking likely which may end up us having a no deal!

Just when you were doing so well you have reverted back to insulting people. I have a Different view to you so i am ignorant. As for the old tired cliches of racist and xenophobes , surely you can do better than that. You look to be in a downward spiral. However i remain optimistic you can raise your game. As for bullseye, seems like he is a bit smarter than you, so I will have to be on top form with him.
That wasn't the point. Backwardsman stated Germany pays virtually nothing.
If the internet is correct we pay in £10bn more than Germany

It will cost us $10bn more if we are not in the EU - really come one then let's see the data

A project involving the EU nations share the 10bn Euro cost. We get to play a part and receive the benefits of not having to fund one of our own. You think we could do it cheaper on our own?

It's too late for him, already convinced by Mr Farage and UKIP who, by the way are not racist but have recently taken on Tommy Robinson ex EDL According to Farage it was £350 million a week and we got nothing whatsoever in return
