Oh c'mon Tibs. Maybe not to you, but I absolutely guarantee someone here will be butthurt over it.

And if not, so what. Just showing my pride in my country.

I think it's a really cool Avatar. It reminds me of 3 of the album covers (and some EPs) of my favorite band ever.

They'd be a moron if they were. Change your avatar to the EU flag with a big red X over the top; that'll get a better reaction.

But anyway, yeah, I get what you're saying and where your concerns lie... and it's understandable if you've been directly dealing with these institutions for years on end. But nonetheless I'm still a remainer... against the nationalism that could be a much more immediate threat. But each to their own.

What goes on inside is pretty secretive even MEP's are on the outside .... sorry never really watched Yes Minister Smile

Yes I can see the fear of Nationalism, which I share ... Note my personal, I have also had a case before the European Parliament through the Peti -Committee, issues have been built up from experience, which is why I never tried to sway anyone prior to the vote ....

Right, I see. You're missing out... Yes Minister's (and Yes Prime Minister) brilliant and you can learn a lot about British politics from it - I think Thatcher said it was a very accurate portrayal of government. There's a clip from it earlier in this thread which I've just found for you http://atheistforums.org/thread-43710-po...pid1312963. Humphrey Appleby's the one on the left... and btw that's why I call Hammy Humpy... cos of his run-on sentences (which you'll understand if you see it)  Big Grin

Cool. Sorry about pretty much ignoring you first time round... I was angry at the time and not inclined to read what looked like a very technical pro-leave argument... but I'm calm now and I'll read it properly at some point. So sorry about that.

I just measured a pound coin. It is half as long as it used to be.

Things aren't right anymore. Everything is grey. I'm going to Silent Hill.

My 90 pence microwavable lasagnas from Asda already cost £57.99 now Sad

I know Sad I just drew 20 quid out from a cash machine, I got 50p. This isn't right.

In my restless dreams, I see that town. I'm coming home baby.

If you look at it that's kind of what the UK flag is, a blue background with a big X over the top!  Wink

It was. Loving your new avatar by the way.

Fair enough.

It's hard to tell with you.
