^ of course, of course. I have to say i meanwhile understand which kind of people voted for brexit
As i said repeatedly "It is all the EU's fault". And of course the EU is or will also be the reincarnation of the Soviet Union. Or worse.
And capable Boris, Rees-Mogg or Farage will lead England into a glorious future, because England was and is Always Special and superior to foreign underlings.
What really motivates the "European Research(!) Group" lol

We are just sitting and looking with a slightly raised eyebrow what Boris will think of next. And it seems it is always all about England, not the UK, not the EU.

I have my own reasons for voting to leave the EU and I don’t think you can type cast 17.4million people into one general type of person.

I’m not going to get into a debate about it maybe start a new thread because this will end up going off topic rapidly

Of course, but you accuse other people and are being polemic in the best soviet style yourself. So i answered accordingly.

Its almost like he's Prime minister of England or something
You know God forbid the Leader of a nation put thats nations interests before the interests of other nations - outrageous! I mean - you dont see ANY other countries or UNIONS around the world doing that do you? :P

Case and point, that really only irks comfortable progressives with no real major societal or economic problems that can afford the luxury of such outward consideration at their own expense.
But to everyone else its a pretty normal expectation that their leader serves their own interests first. And its noticeably a progressive standard that's not applied consistently as national self interests its only controversial to the 'Baizou' (as the Chinese call it), when leaders western countries do it. But when other nations do it, no complaints!

There are many reasons to take Boris to task, but that's not really one of them IMO.
When you are trying to make a deal, you play hardball and ask for more than you will reasonably get, in order to work your way down to what you can realistically get.
(Trump does this all the time and he thinks he a genius for it lol.)
but its negotiation 101. If you start out on a negotiation with the minimum you want, you will end up with less than you wanted after compromising.

Oh yes! Boris the leader of the nation! lmao!! Why should England's prime minister care for the rest of the UK like Scotland, Ireland or Wales? These underlings are truly not worth thinking About (or so Mr Rees-Mogg would describe it).

In this we can agree, this has been official politics since the stone age. One could argue that such behaviour should not be necessary today but hey we know what makes humans tick.

He's a genius in so many things i have lost count. Maybe he will lower sanctions for China when the latter support accusing Biden for him? "The art of the deal" or what was the title of the book he did not even write himself?


But back to the first post of Mapuc. What exactly do you mean with

Another of this FB-friend wrote an answer to my comment:
"You are subject to EU rules - whether you like it or not"
And then you or your friend are claiming that you cannot have a free discussion because of the EU? Where and what?

^
The meaning of this thread was to ask you if this friends friend was correct when she wrote this as an answer to my comment.

I said to our fellow friends a free Danish debatforum would perhaps be a better choice than FB, who keeps on jailing Danish member even though they haven't been breaking any law of free expression according to Danish law.

In other word she means there is no such things a free speech anymore-Not in a Country who's member of the EU.
