Last year Lord Frost admitted the EU offered British people a “permanent visa waiver” arrangement but UKGov declined it.Don't blame the EU.

"Additionally on Sunday, Serbian politician Vladimir Đukanović wrote on Twitter that "Everything seems to me that Serbia will be forced to begin the denazification of the Balkans. I'd like to be wrong.""
So Serbia's in the wrong. Thanks for that, Mr. Đukanović.

This, from a Kosovan journalist, appears to be the cause of the impending Balkan conflict.

❗️Statement by the Ministry of Defense of Serbia - "Due to the large amount of misinformation about the clash between the so-called "Kosovo police" and the Army of Serbia, we declare that the Army of Serbia has yet not crossed the administrative line at the moment."
Vucic is a dangerous twat.
He wants to seize Kosovo back, and makes no secret of it. Great danger here.
Multiple neighbours could be dragged in easily and quickly.
Albania. Bosnia. Montenegro.
It's bloody @Leon in the vicinity recently once again!
The man is a menace.

Brexit is almost a direct result of the Blair/Brown Government failing to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
Remember: Blair had twice promised a referendum on the EU Constitution. In early October 2007, the European Scrutiny Committee (which had a Labour majority at the time) had found that the treaty was "substantially equivalent" to the rejected constitution - and yet still they ignored the vote: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7034052.stm
There was a substantial public majority in favour of a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Just as there was for a referendum on the EU Constitution before it. The Liberal Democrats decided to play that by going for a full in/out referendum on the EU (sound familiar?) whilst Labour basically ignored it, and pretended it was both different and that it had got a smashing deal. David Cameron gave a "cast-iron" promise to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty but it was wholly ratified into EU law by December 2009, well before he took office, so he couldn't offer one when he took power in May 2010 - all he was able to do was to "not let matters rest there."
That's why the mood on the Tory backbenches was so febrile from almost the moment Cameron took office - we'd been done over and they were furious about it. There was a massive loss of trust between the UK and the EU. And the only way out was for the EU to substantially renegotiate with the UK on the basis that the Lisbon Treaty had not yet come into effect here, antebellum c.2007-2008, which they wholeheartedly refused to do.
Labour and the EU are far more responsible for Brexit than they'd care to admit, or ever will admit.

Lord Frost reveals that the EU offered a visa waiver system for culture workers such as musicians and actors but that would have meant UK ceding control of borders and not ending Free Movement
I took the little 'un swimming today, and I chatted to a couple of other parents. For obvious reasons, the summer holidays came under discussion. For one couple, the idea of a foreign holiday - even France - was impossible. For the other, they 'felt' going on holiday in the UK was cheaper and less hassle.
Perhaps EU free movement is only an issue for the middle and upper classes, or those in the southeast? I know many tens of millions of overseas trips are made by Brits every year, but that will include multiple trips by the same people. What proportion of people travel abroad each year, and what proportion only to the EU?
Fine footbaw Colemanballs commentating!
I hope she's taking it easy.
If that had caused them only to win a majority of 139 rather than 179, so what?
(This is all from memory; it would be interesting to go back to threads back then to see when, and what, I was posting._
Brexit is a flop. What's Starmer playing at......

Some of the men's team are little better, however. Once upon a time vanity was sort of looked down on.
Why can't people just trust that he might know what he's doing?
Arsenal were champions of Europe in 2007.
This is why the whole thing is best ignored.
I don't think anyone will begrudge them some makeup, especially if they win a tournament unlike the men
But Starmer positioned the party to take advantage, and managed to kick the ball into the open goal most of the time. At least he didn't take his shirt off afterwards...
Twats.
I just couldn’t bear to lose to Germany again in a final
GO THE LIONESSES AND ALSO YOU ARE TOTALLY HOT
I also knew a lady who flew from Edinburgh to London twice a week. She hated 'Sleazyjet', but still preferred it to the train...
I was watching the F1. A real sport.
England top of qualification group with 8 wins out of 8.
That's just me though. Wife is in tears, saying she never thought she'd see England win a tournament. Daughters are all delighted. So if I don't feel it, that just me - clearly plenty of people do.
The player who just ran off with the microphone just gave the best response ever to a dull interview question.
Oh dear
2.4 to win in 90 mins.
1.75 to win outright.
It is because Starmer is boring that people are voting Labour again, I think boring is an asset after Corbyn - I accept I am rare
What a lad
A tad harsh on the chaos, I think.
But remember the sporting adage, you are never as bad as your worst defeat, nor as good as your best win.
