Re: Britains Maritime trade
I see Herr Junger made a one hour speech yesterday,one hour without booze !!!. He said Europe has got the wind in its sails, and is ready to widen its trading borders with Australia, N Z etc, and congratulated themselves in improving their exterior borders, and congratulated Italy in how they are dealing with immigrants fro Africa !!, what bloody world does he live in ? , when the money loss from the UK kicks in you will see some whinging big time, because that money 14 billion, has to be made up from some where. I was reading an article which was saying the German banks are not in a pretty situation, and that Germany could be heading for a resession . The delusions of politicians, kt

Re: Britains Maritime trade
Keith anyone who can waffle on for an hour, that is probably where he thinks the wind is coming from to fill his sails. Remember the days of Herr Hitler and how good an orator he was. He too had the same visions of a United Europe, he didn't even try to be diplomatic about it. It is an unrealistic dream the way it has been set up, and the countries who are in will soon come to their national senses when they see those with, having to support those without, which bears a strong similarity To the visions of Karl Marx. People of different races like to retain their own heritage. This is obvious when you see the influx of illegal immigrants and their behaviour. JS

Re: Britains Maritime trade
John #35, utilities run by other countries is quite common.
here in Melbourne our rail and trams are run by a British company.
Went to international tender and they won it.
Did hear that UK intends to build five new nuclear power stations that will be needed to supply the power for all the electric cars from 2040 onwards.
German lady I know here was back from Cologne a few weeks back, told me the place is a mess with almost 1 million refugees there, no work and no money.

He who sees the truth tells the truth, well said Mr Greek Premier.
The EU is a members club, and I do not mean from that comment member countries but pointedly the unelected Elite.

I managed 1992 -98 in Brugnac, Lot-Et- Garonne. Idyllic, but different from UK. Just roll with it because you will not change their mindset.
