Brexit

[maggiebee]

Just read this on FB. Any thoughts?

Written by Stuart Thomson, Veterans for Europe. Stuart served in the armed forces.

"Brexit is cowardly. We are abandoning our allies to cower on our little island in the vain hope that no one will hurt us."

"China, the US are Russia are lining up to hurt us. You abandon your friends and allies at your peril."

[Prudie]

So who is this guy? I know someone of that name who used to be in the army way back but he's been a complete basket case for years, wouldn't take heed of anything he said.

"Well that panned out exactly as I expected. Little Engerlanders ha ha" - says the tiny Scotlander! PMSL!

The Veterans for Europe website says “We at Veterans for Europe aim to dispel the notion that the vast majority of veterans and serving personnel are pro-Leave, as it is simply not true.”

How do they know? I’m willing to bet that if the ’vast majority of veterans’ belonged to the group, there would have been rather more than 122 signatures on their letter.

Yes..... Why didn't you include this instead of just "selecting" one line from the link?

//The European Movement UK is pleased to announce its affiliation with Veterans for Europe. Veterans for Europe is an active group of pro-European, pro-Remain veterans, serving personnel and dependents from all three services, whose aim is to support the United Kingdom in remaining within the European Union.//

Stuart Thomson, from Worcestershire, was a corporal in the RAF, served in Gulf War 1, twice in the Former Yugoslavia campaign, and is a co-founder of Veterans for Europe.
Now sadly in the pay of the EUSSR and acting as yappy lap dog for their hounds. Have a guess how many "UK veterans" are signatories to the piece written for them by Murkhell's own guard dogs. 122. Bless.

Really? 122 signed the pro EUSSR prepared brief, meaning that there is a maximum of 121 other veterans who support Brexit. They do say that "you couldn't make it up". Some think that they can.

^ Support Remain.
Meanwhile, the real Veterans Party (very keen on Brexit) have 3x times as many candidates ready to stand in local elections.
It's sad what some people have to do for money.

Togo - I did not "select" one line from the link. I typed exactly what I read on FB. No link given. However, you seem to have all the time in the world to ferret around on the net for every scrap of info. Afraid I have better things to do with my time.

Maggiebee, very little 'ferreting' required. Just a quick google for the organisation this man represents. Best to check your sources before committing finger to keyboard, maggiebee. That way you avoid fake news.

Careful there Naomi, your nose is getting brown!

I've no idea what you're talking about, maggiebee. All I know is that you've made yet another blooper.
