Lots to do....

Rees-Mogg: “we’re a slave state”

Boris Johnson: “As bad as it could possibly get

Keir Starmer: “Shambolic, we’ll vote against it”

DUP bloke: “This will lead to break up of the UK”

The turd has been squeezed out from the rectum that is Theresa May.
It is in the pan, festering and the cistern is full.
The chain is about to be pulled, but the flush is busted.
Who is going to mend it and flush this country down the sewer.
Arsewipe Boris probably.

What is wrong with an eu army exactly? Would it not mean a larger and more coherent armed force with a greater set of skills, equipment and ability than we have now?

But as I understand it, equipment over many counties is not standardised, and I doubt that many countries will think of anything other than their own armament industry. And, furthermore, who will coordinate an EU Army's deployment, because you can bet your life that their will be powers of veto, when an individual government doesn't like the mission. Would the Spanish government, for example, be happy if the British asked for EU support, should the Argentinians again try their luck at the Falklands. Yes, this conflict would be thousands of miles away, but an attack on one is a call to others to action, surely. Or would we be happy, if the Spanish asked for EU military action to put down a rebellion in Catalonia? Far from being coherent, as you assume, it will become an unwieldy force that, I strongly suspect, will end up shying away from any decisive action due to the politicians refusal to take the flack.

It worked with the euro. We vetoed that too. We have sovereignty.

And 27 other countries can veto what we view to be in our best national interest .. and there are numerous areas where we don't have a veto .. and your favourite (supposedly non EU) organisation the ECJ has primacy over UK law in many areas. Politicians have been continually pooling/surrendering sovereignty to the EC/EU for decades .. anyone pretending otherwise is either woefully misinformed or being deceitful.

Good, then you know an EU army would not mean a larger and more coherent armed force with a greater set of skills, equipment and ability than we have now. Just another expensive doomed to failure vanity project for the EU superstate crew ... thank goodness we are leaving.

The Brexit MPs will know all about being deceitful.

Macron and Merkel both pushing hard for an EU army I see... you were right Nigel.



Fairly well agreed now that an EU army is pretty much inevitable given the foundations of The Defence Union have been formed with The Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) pact, even though us Denmark and Malta opted out..........its just a matter of when.
What did Juncker call it, the sleeping beauty of Lisbon? ?..........frightening.

We're not at a People's Vote yet, bit early for project fear isn't it?

I explained this to you before ... Sovereignty can be surrendered/pooled, see every EU treaty.

If it had been surrendered, it could not be taken back, so pooled is the more accurate term, if you are unsure of which is most appropriate.
