    European Union Referendum

    European Union Referendum

    What would you want, then? Two elected chambers in Brussels? Direct EU presidential elections? See, this is the stuff, that's not being implemented, because the population of the EU members generally doesn't want some "United States of Europe." (It doesn't have to be an all-American solution...

    European Union Referendum

    Churchill did say: "A nation that forgets its past has no future." http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/07/brexit-or-bremain-readers-eu-referendum I'm trying to understand the one argument supporting either side. Bremain is basically: "The EU was set up as an antidote to the...

    Czech Republic v Croatia, 17th June, 5pm

    And it isn't just a Croatian word lost in translation? Where it might also mean "hoodlums" or "barbarians" or something?

    European Union Referendum

    Just history books and stuff. Machiavelli's "The Prince." News outlets. Wrangham & Peterson's "Demonic Males." Then I guess I'm just venting. And you know what? I know you're right, I can't do anything about this.

    European Union Referendum

    I have a rectum, I have an opinion, don'I? Do you have an opinion on Donald Trump? And I'm not ordering anyone around here, am I? I'm just asking you lot to not make the wrong choice just because you want to piss off the wrong politicians. Please piss off the right politicians instead.
