European army
- 12 November 2018 15:14351220This issue keeps coming up but I don't see how it could ever work. From our point of view if Spain blockaded Gibraltar who would the proposed army side with? We have two member states from the former Yugoslavia with doubtless others joining in the future and i wouldn't bet against old grudges turning into serious flare ups. There are many separatist groups in the Southern and Western member states which would resent outside interference.

12 November 2018 20:02351238No need to be in the slightest bit concerned Howard, don’t forget that the nation’s expert on all things EU related, Nick Clegg, has assured us on a number of occasions that there is no such thing as an “ EU Army “, it’s a fantasy apparently, no reason to lie eh, so he must be right?

Getting back to the army there all sorts of questions about the logistics, common language etc, who would give orders - the only certainty is that Italy would be put in charge of surrenders.Brian Dixon and John Buckley like this

12 November 2018 21:57351241I doubt the globalist banker would see that choosing the Armistice commemorations to put forward the notion of a Twenty-Seven Nation Army (or maybe Twenty-Eight: who knows) exhibits an appallingly sick irony. Isn't empire-building one of the reasons we need to commemorate our war dead in the first place?'Pass the cow dung, my dropsy's killing me' - Heraclitus
