If people voting UKIP think that the elite in this country are going to allow us to withdraw from the EU, then they need a check up from the neck up.

It is a fanatical article of faith for the political and legal class of this country that we remain in this disgusting organization.
In almost everything, the political and legal class do in this country is against the interests of ordinary people as they follow their insane left wing agenda.

The EU lackies are at it in the Ukraine stirring up trouble.

I doubt we'll ever be free of the despicable EU. Our rights were signed away many years ago and today's gutless politicians will do as they are told by their masters.

Any "referendum" will be a sideshow.

One ray of hope in that they didn't heed the directives by the EU Judges on Life Long Prison Sentences.

Well, we didn't see this one coming: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26400035

Well we dished it out didn't we in Iraq and Afgan and elsewhere to those weaker than ourselves and still couldn't win.
WE now face someone vastly stronger and more determined.
In the west we have undoubtedly the weakest group on non-leaders we have ever had. Putin is taking them all on and wiping the floor with all of them.
Putin has every right to protect ethnic Russians in the Crimea, what else should he do, wait until they get massacared by the EU sponsored thugs which is running the Ukraine now.

Butt out Obama! He is far and away the worst US president there has ever been.

[rebbonk]

Apparently, Obama has had 'strong' words with Putin. http://forum.onlineconversion.com/images/smilies/rofl5.gifhttp://harderstate.com/images/smilies/rofl.gif

Seriously though, I can see this panning out very nasty.

[rebbonk]

A bit naughty I know, but I think it sums up that Putin knows he's nothing to fear militarily from the West.

Hypocrites or what? Kerry tells Russia 'you don't invade a country on completely phony pretexts' The US Secretary of State spoke today of the unacceptability of invading a sovereign country on phony pretexts in order to assert one’s own interests in the 21st century. But no, he was not speaking about the United States, as one might have thought. “You just don’t invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests,” John Kerry said during an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press. “This is an act of aggression that is completely trumped up in terms of its pretext. It’s really 19th century behaviour in the 21st century.” Kerry has also threatened to isolate Russia economically and politically and warned of potential asset freezes and visa bans, adding to media and political hype that followed Russia authorization of sending a stabilization force in Crimea on official request from the authorities. “There could be certainly disruption of any of the normal trade routine, there could be business drawback on investment in the country,” he said. “There could even be ultimately asset freezes, visa bans.” Although Kerry was never challenged by the interviewer to comment in terms of that statement on Washington’s own constant threats to use force and military invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan, those who watched the interview immediately smelled the hypocrisy. “Since when does the United States government genuinely subscribe and defend the concept of sovereignty and territorial integrity? They certainly are not doing that at the moment in Syria,” Marcus Papadopoulos, commentator for ‘Politics First’ told RT. “They certainly did not do that when they attacked Libya. They certainly didn’t do that when they invaded Iraq. They certainly didn’t do that when they attacked Serbia over Kosovo and then later on recognized Kosovo’s unilateral declaration of independence. The United States government merely pays lip service to sovereignty and territorial integrity, it picks and choses.” Since the crisis in Ukraine escalated to a point where the lives of the Russian speaking population of Ukraine has become threatened, Kerry’s reaction comes, some believe, as the most ridiculous thus far, taking into account US own history of military actions all over the globe.
