Still doesn't alter the fact of the UN peacekeeping operations in Europe being needed as the EU weren't keeping the peace,as Europhiles consistently state is the case.Keeping the peace in Europe for 70 years as that Malteser running the EU said.And Turkey were an aspirant until they started doing things the non-EU way.I really don't get why you are trying to say Cyprus isn't in Europe,as the EU blur these definitions all the time to suit themselves.Why aren't the EU keeping the peace in Cyprus?

They actually spend quite a large amount of their time mediating.

2016 - £18.9 bn Gross contribution ... rebate £5.0Bn leaving £13.9Bn net contribution according to the ONS.
So I ask again how do our rebates mostly pick up the tab?

That isn't a 'rebate', you said rebates would mostly pick up the tab ... which is obviously false.

A lot more than our current contribution, really a drop in the ocean. Its like doing a weekly family food shop and getting stressed about 50p for the car park

Not when my half brother was out in Cyprus, they didn't.
Are you referring to the delegates of the UN or the blue beret force, who were taken from forces all over the world?
I apologise for saying rebate instead of money coming back or some other such saying.

you dont think the EU would put this in the withdrawal agreement? besides its already been stated by our govenrment there would be unilateral rights for existing EU citizens resident here, theres a process in place to register, the only issue is whether that process will be administered well in 100% cases.

Well it does because its an issue that predates the EU. The argument is that the EU's existence acts to minimise the risk of conflict occurring in the first place, not make historic conflict disappear (although I would argue it does to an extent).
Yes NATO and the UN have important roles, arguably more so, but that doesn't negate the effect the EU has, which is going to be different than either of the other two

You'd like to think so. I say wait and see.
Those people who have been here for a long time, had no vote, and neither did the Brits abroad who had been away for 15 years despite the fact they were still British.
I wonder why that was?
The whole exercise is to prevent Freedom of Movement, and to stop the EU bringing in laws against tax avoidance for the ultra rich.

I watched the brexit questions in the commons right through earlier.
If it wasn't so very serious it would have been funny.
May getting it from all sides and mostly she only had 3 answers from a written down list that she gave back in reply time and time again.
Even if someone proved her wrong on the 'deal' she still gave the same answer.
Eventually she gave up and just kept saying ' I refer you to my previous answers'.
It was a farce, May mostly on her own protecting her deal when nearly everyone else in the chamber knew she was hopelessly wrong.
Not a chance of getting this through.
I cannot believe that even the most ardent leaver cannot see what a complete shambles this has become.
For the sake of the future of this country and for the kids future, somehow we have got to get out of this, we are going to send this country down the drain if we don't.

We are free to trade with anyone in the world. In fact beorthelm was telling me it was a straw man position to suggest that anyone thought we couldn't.

Well if Boris can carry on saying we will save £350 million a week and Davis can say we can have a no deal transition period, why can't she drop some bullshit too?
