"I filtered you months ago."

It is months' ago, no?

You are a legal guy, no? Wouldn't a legal guy be able to write better English?

Doubts all around.

Or perhaps it was because you were a bear and I was a bull on a stock before Christmas and I turned out to be WELL IN THE MONEY! ;)

"I voted to remain part of a trading organisation, not to become a region of a European Superstate."

And what is wrong with that clever clogs?

bbalanjones: I've done the homework you set me.

Waded through hxxps://www.oxfordresearchgroup.org.uk/blog/the-european-union-and-conflict-resolution
and what a jargonfest that was! Made difficult reading for a lay(wo)man who has never been able to get to grips with social sciences language. BTW, pity the EU don't currently help to resolve another "frozen" conflict on the island of Ireland........

I was amused to note the reference to "EU" throughout the article, rather than "the EU". I wondered if this is the nomenclature adopted by those academics and bureaucrats who make their living out of the institution. The loss of the definite article makes it sound more like a country and thus lends it an air of permanence. EU English, not UK English. :-) Or newspeak?

As for the methods adopted to help resolve the Kosovo/Serbia problem whilst I applaud the efforts didn't they just apply basic psychology? I don't know enough about it to know whether diplomatic bodies other than the EU were involved here and therefore how much difference the EU made.

The other article hxxps://europeanmovement.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/FA-2014-Peace-and-Security-ADOPTED.pdf is a few years old and bemoans the lack of power evident in the EU. It cites "the European Union’s objective to promote peace and security, both on the European continent and beyond". I note the organisation is choc-a-bloc full of "professional Europeans" for whom the EU has provided a good living, no doubt.

This is not quite the trading ticket the UK voted for when it voted in Referendum 1 in the 70's. I don't remember much mention at that time of federalism or international ambition. It is what the EU has become which has made it so unpopular with so many Europeans and why so many in the UK voted to leave.
Apologies if I have missed the points made in both articles.

g2:: Just start to contemplate the fact that lines on geographical maps were drawn and do not in reality exist. We live on a small blob in space who's inhabitants have to learn to co-exist before we destroy the whole shebang.
European integration is truly only a first step to a better human future - if we can pull our fingers out and learn to get on with our fellow humans.

As we have serious money people here does the thread want to buy a horse ? Black obviously.

Hyper Al , I try to post an off topic post at least once each week on Lloyds.

What did Bigfoot want?

FFS this is irrelevant.

When Churchill referred to Europe he meant continental Europe. It would not even have occurred to him that we should be part of such an organization. Our closest links are with the wider world including North America.

I am sick of these Winston Churchill references.
