thank you for posting that long-discredited rumour. Are you Boris Johnson?

As you say, Sweden does not use the Euro.

It has not been fined or expelled from the EU.

It will join when it is ready and the time is right.

Please lend me a hundred pounds. I promise to repay you when I am ready and the time is right. You have no power to enforce payment or to punish me if I do not pay.

irrelevant.

I said that new countries that join the EU would have to adopt the EU.

Their rules state it is 'required'

So I am correct simples.

You and Dung can wriggle all you like

Their rules state it is 'required'

You omit to say that it is conditional.

Sweden has not met the conditions.

Therefore they are not required to do it.

Lend me that £100. I promise to pay you back when I'm ready.

In any case my post wasnt about what is correct or not,

I provided proof MT was critical of the EU, that was the point of my post.

So I am correct simples.

The discussion is not about who, on this forum, is correct. It is about the accuracy and therefore the reliability of MT's predictions and subsequently her judgement.
The only relevance about who is correct or not is in connection with the MT's accuracy in her predictions.
It is irrefutably proven that her predictions were not accurate, therefore her judgement on this issue was suspect and unreliable.
Therefore her assessment of the EU and its direction was ideologically driven and not objective.

her assessment of the EU and its direction was ideologically driven and not objective.

Brexit is often sold by its most committed supporters on the right as a constitutional version of the economic doctrine of Thatcherism, a clean break with the failed policies of the past. These fanatics succeeded in convincing David Cameron, who was prone to flattery but supine in the face of aggression, that a popular vote in a referendum was a remedy for the unrepresentative nature of Westminster politics. Once they did away with Mr Cameron, they installed Theresa May and carried on with legislative manoeuvring to enable an irreversible transformation of society. The hard Brexiters are ruthless about the means, and in denial about the fall-out of their desires.
