I'm aware that Europe needs to look at defending the EU nations

Hallelujah!

against those that once stood with them, yes.

Oh dear!

 

[fillyboy]

They have had decades to form an army but oddly still stick with the EU ethic bailing out their vulnerable neighbours.

That post will raise a wry smile in Greece.

Oh dear!

Look, the penny has dropped. Trump is a psycho like Putin. Gosh, who would have thunk.

Hallelujah!

Who do you think benefits from stronger European defences?

Germans

My mate had a holiday booked to Eypt prior to that luxor terrorist attack

Plane was almost empty all the Germans cancelled the brits turned up

He said it was the best holiday he had for years no Germans hoggjn the deck chairs and taking part in bekchi g contests

Escorted every where by armed to the teeth Eygptian milatary

Just warned to keep there eads down in the hotel just in case of snipers

A european army would need a 'superpower' behind it or with it to have any clout at all, Macrons distancing himself from Trump, that leaves Russia or China. Hasn't Macron been making a lot of noise recently about how the EU should repair relations with Russia?, and let's face it, Germany is almost totally energy reliant on Russia.
I'd like to think The Donald is marginally less psychotic than Putin, maybe it's the hair.

I'm sure it would need a few nations behind it if it were to invade.

However, all that Europe needs is to be able to deter aggressors like the US, China and Russia. Each individual nations' defences need a helping hand.

But nowhere near as politically cunning. Putin pi$$es all over the idiot Trump in that department.

Nice that she's changed your perspective but can't fathom out why you didn't know all this already?

It's quite simple, I've never come in to contact with anyone who volunteers or has first hand experiance of food banks. I assumed that they were for homeless people or drug addicts.

I have bought food for people who claim to be homeless when I've been out and about. Food yes money no.

I didn't realise it was the case as this lady told me that the percentage of people using them were ill people deemed 'fit to work'. She told me that people on these panels are pressured to kick people off of disability benefits .....Despite them having letters from consultants stating they are unfit to work.

Possibly, but Trump definitely wins in the hair department.

Is the scheme of assessing people run by the same mob who run gas safe???

that first review "Unfortunately Accuarate Film" is spot on.

Neither have I, yet I and daresay everyone else knows they are a crucial lifeline to people less fortunate than ourselves.
How anyone can be ignorant to that is more than a little worrying.

I was getting my Irish friends mixed up.

That would be the repetitive automation. Easy when the gullible are fed the same old drivel, time after time after time after.....
Bots for ya.
