- - - Updated - - -

What are you wittering on about? Farage is a cock and whether or not you wanted the UK in or out of the EU, he is still a cock.

Seriously, OP, do you think that there is one party in the entire world that does not pretend ''we are caring for the common man'' ?

In a more general manner, I'm amazed about how easy it is to sell that the woes of the United Kingdom are because of the eeeevil UE.

The shipbuilding industry is gone because of the UE ?
The coal mines are gone because of the UE ?
The automobile industry is gone because of the UE ?

Do you think the eeeeevil UE will meekly continue to build the Airbus wings in England ? Do you think that England will magically become self-sufficient in agriculture and stop buying eeeviel UE food products (hint : the UK stopped to be self sufficient in foodstuffs in the 18th century

Once again, Europe was such an happy place free of issues and problems before the eeeeevil UE. After all, having France and Germany whacking at each other every 20 years causing exponential number of deaths is a minor issue compared to regulations toward dairy products.

You realise the EU prevents countries from protecting their industries right?

Not that I'm (entirely) anti-EU but saying that it has prevented a third world war is a pretty silly argument for keeping the organization around.

That's not a bad thing.

Heads up, the UK is not Germany or France. We just stepped in to give the boche a damned good thrashing.

You miss the point (you also fail to realize that it's pretty ironic here, considering that the non UE-UK pushed for free trade since Queen Victoria at the very least)

All those industries were gone or dying well before the EU economic integration.

TIL: regulating dairy products is what keeps Europe at peace.

In a positive and constructive way, the good old days in which the UK ''kept the balance of power in Europe'' are done since a certain fight on the slopes of Mount Saint-Jean....And even there, the UK was never an ''island'' unconnected to Europe-from the Palatine Elector to the Hannover woes.

No. But screaming about those regulations is a fig leaf. In the specific UK case, it's not the fault of the UE if their cattle industry/dairy industry is in crisis, it's because of Creutzelft-Jakob.

We fought the frogs at Waterloo, not the boche.

[sarahtasher]

Yes, that is the concept of balance of power. Fight the French, the Germans, or the Russians, according to who is the more powerful. That was a concept even at the peak of the power of the Royal Navy : in the 18th century for instance, considerations for Hannover trumped anything.

We didn't fight ze Germans in WWII because they were the most powerful, we fought them because they invaded Poland.

Specifically and explicitly, the Entente Cordiale started because of Tirpitz shipbuilding program (an incredibly stupid move by Whilem II, should I say) and the entry of the United Kingdom in WW1 was secured by the German invasion of Belgium. AKA, even there, the United Kingdom could not say ''we are an island, we are not concerned about what happen on the continent''

[Rend Blackhand]

Farage was a founding member of the United Kingdom Independence Party which was set up with the main purpose of getting the UK to leave the EU.

The way I see it, Farage has completed his life's work in politics. Good for him.

We fought against other nations because it was in our interests to do so.

I am not really sure where you are going with this, as your claim was about Europe pre-EU, but it wasn't us going around invading European nations, we were content to just invade the Fuzzy Wuzzies and steal their stuff.

[video=youtube;OK376_SIxAQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK376_SIxAQ[video] . this man is the only person involved in politics who has stuck to what he believed in, he and UKIP are the only people and party fighting for real peoples rights, all the other partys dnt care about real peoples issues just look at the tories under cameron for 6 years food banks increased. the video is long yes but its worth watching cos its all true, but OFC the pro remainers and europhiles and fans of any party apart from UKIP are going to attack me on here cos there so predictable

Didn't watch the video, but... Ugh, this spelling. :/

The British Empire expansion just happened to be during the previous anomaly in European history : a whole century of relative peace between 1815 and 1914. ''Relative'' as in ''just one country whacking on the other'', not global coalitions like under Louis XIV or Napoléon.

[sarahtasher]

A relative peace, as I said-it was an improvement over Napoleon.
