Military defence and the link with EU membership is surely a spurious one. We are a member of NATO anyway, as are most of the major countries of the EU.
NATO members:- Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States. The other member countries are: Greece and Turkey (1952), Germany (1955), Spain (1982), the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland (1999), Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia (2004), and Albania and Croatia (2009).
sorry Punkdoc. I genuinely did not intend to cause offence.
I confess to stirring now and then ...always with a sense of childlike mischief....but today was meant to provoke something to make people aware and start speaking up. I have a very personal reason too for penning it.
I have received quite a few pm's today.....one was highly threatening and abusive, some not nice and some rather kind. I recently received a series of pm's from a christian urgng me to believe in Christ .....who has now become a bit of a stalker. Now blocked.
I am not a racist or a bigot. On the forum many need to picture us all, to identify who or what we are. A well known poster regularly pm's me to update me as to who may or may not "be as they seem". Another told me not to mention gardening matters on the hello forkers thread...??
I will confine myself in future to garden matters and keep out of trouble.
I have apologised to one poster to whom I was rude (following his rudeness to me)
wish you well Punkdoc.
Verdun
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I think you have missed my point Tetley [ meant in a kindly, non confrontational way! ]
In the PM, Verdun admitted he liked to stir, subsequently denied, and promised to confine himself to gardening matters. It was only after reneging on this promise, that I felt I could do so to.
Peace and love to all.

In this household we have one adamantly IN and one OUT. We will both vote so we wipe each other out. We sleep in the same bed and love each other God knows why peeps who don't know each are at each others throats
Well yes I do know ..
Tetley IMO you are the one with the big spoon neither Verdun or Pdoc were so fractious until you stuck your oar in
Don't bother responding I won't read this thread any more.

The defence EU / NATO debate I mentioned, was a quote from a previous Allied NATO commander.

Seeing as you now appear to have blocked me, I can copy a PM you sent to me some time ago knowing that you will not see it!
Apology but

" Despite denials, most want to eventually come to the UK. "
How do YOU know that, Verdun?

I will add my view.
