🇪🇺 The UK-EU Gibraltar deal clearly shows the benefits of European integration. 🇬🇧 In the rest of the UK we need the economic boost provided by EU membership to fund our public services and the defence of these islands.

One for my fellow Celtic followers - this is a response to a post I put on FB regarding the news that the main political parties in Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland declared their right to self-determination in a joint agreement. Needles to say I gave him a bit of a history lesson 🙂

Yes. The Johnson thing is mind blowing. How he’s not been investigated by intelligence for his connections with the Lebedev’s is beyond comprehension. Or maybe he has and nothing was done as it was potentially too politically destabilising.

Many don’t truly understand what the UK and it’s citizens lost due to Brexit This list provides solid proof that the politicians that sold it, didn’t, & don’t care about the health, wealth, or security of their nation, nor that they were doing the work of those who wanted a weaker UK & EU

As soon as I read he was a self-described 'race realist', I thought, oh, so a white supremacist who was hired by a university to prove they don't have a problem with 'free speech'. It's mind-blowing that these types of people are taken seriously in any part of society.

I would agree. Plus it’s hypothetical as it’s unlikely they will get into power but it still has the effect of making people feel really worried and uncertain about their futures. This has been going on for 10 years now. EU migrants in UK & UK in EU being used as political pawns yet again.
