    Nod we touched upon the lateral movement benefits earlier but you putting a spotlight on the extent to which it changed lives is appreciated.

    I really do think that whatever the outcome in France, whoever is left should hold the course.

    The cons of the EU are many. How could there not be?.. But it worked. It especially worked for the working class when much needed investment was brought into the cities that Thatcher destroyed. Yet Thatcherites still got a few million of those working class turkeys to vote for christmas. (power of the Murdoch press)


    Let's not forget the peace it brought to Europe too, with countries working with, rather than against each other.


    The big mistake was allowing membership and freedom of movement for gypsy countries such as Bulgaria And Romania (Turkey was 100% NEVER happening)


    Btw, just like Trump's victory, the Russians are loving Brexit. And that should tell anybody with half a Western brain. That, that, is a terrible thing for us (The civilized West)

    Also Le Pen. Despite of a Russian blank check, is not winning the Run-Off election. You can take that to the bank.


    Master class here, ty.


    Yeah I hedged against the apocalypse with a wager on Le Pen and have watched her odds against almost triple, so I'm burning a bit of money there but knowing we wont see France hamstring the framework for European stability while Trump is in office is well worth the sting.

    You guys know nothing lol, seriously.........nothing.

    Fake news DRK. Tho i've no doubt there be a HUGE media bias against Le Pen in the French media.


    Only slither of hope for Le Pen was Obama addressing the French people and urging them to vote Macron.

    He done the same to Brits by telling them to vote remain, which went down horribly with the British public. Like made a difference horribly.


    I mean if she actually pulls this off. Think it'll be safe to say that polling in the Western world is 100% rigged.


    After Brexit-Trump-Le Pen. Don't think there'd be many people left who could deny there's a polling conspiracy at work.

    Updated on 05/05/2017, 14h51: on Twitter, a reader told us that those who created the .pdf which supposedly proves the existence of an off-shore account for the candidate Macron have forgotten one Detail: a layer. We have indeed opened the .pdf file on the Adobe Illustrator software and it is clear that the text layer has been added to a blank document that includes the company header.

    Interesting!


    Tho how old is that post? Coz as we speak, even hardened conspiracy enthusiasts who desperately want it to be true, are still saying fake.


    I would normally love Macron to lose as he is bad for Britain with the whole Brexit thing. But Le Pen makes Bannon look like Bernie Sanders.

    So much blood will be spilt on the whole continent if she gets in. An absolute game changer.

    Haha this is great. The universal language at the EU Parliament etc. is always English.

    This is the current sitting European Commission President 'Jean-Claude Juncker' just a few hours ago.

    The bitterness is real lol

    "The five largest U.S. investment banks are set to move hundreds of key staff within two years from London to Frankfurt..."

    A few days ago I'd question how a Le Pen victory would impact this but honestly that seems so remote at this point..

    This is hardly new.

    They threatened Pre-Brexit that jobs would be lost and offices would be shifted if we voted leave. Not just US banks either. Practically every major bank on the planet (even our own) said they might have to move their headquarters to the mainland continent as they'd no longer have free trade with the EU while based in the UK.

    A whole loada gamesmanship is going on right now. It's becoming extremely dirty. But i'd say at this stage there's a better than 60% chance we end up staying in the single market.

    For that, we'd have to offer certain concessions. Like (and I shit you not) freedom of movement for EU citizens, allowing them to live & work in the UK. And vice-versa obv... The very reason why we voted leave lol

    Next 2 years will be just a river of bluffs on both sides.... But at the end of it all. Big business will stay and so will freedom of movement across the EU.


    Biggest wet dream in lawyer history.
