Some time ago I indicated my impression that Mr. Gavin Williamson, our (alleged) Minister of Defence, was a total tit. This impression is now confirmed as an absolute fact by the, er, 'total tit' himself! Yesterday he declared war on China. 'Just like that', as the great comedian Tommy Cooper was wont to say. This latter-day Nelson was intent on sailing our one and only aircraft carrier with its American aircraft up and down the South China Sea and dare those damned 'Chinks' to come out and fight! When they have recovered from falling about helpless with laughter they might oblige and provide 'Admiral' Williamson with a lesson in reality, unlike the imaginary world he inhabits based on his childhood collection of Hornblower books!
Sometimes - well, no, actually, fairly often now! - I wonder where they find these colossal idiots to fill our once high offices of state? Of course, a moment's thought tells me that there are several hundred of them in Parliament, so there are plenty to choose from. If we rid ourselves of this juvenile prat there will be a host of others to take his place and maintain the abysmally low standards of Acting Petty Officer Williamson. According to reports, he is intent on becoming leader of the Conservative party and should that unmitigated disaster occur I may have to seek refuge in the EU!
"I may have to seek refuge in the EU!"
Yes, quite.

If Great Britain was not an EU member already, would She be hankering to join it now?

If GB wasn't a member of the EU we would've gone broke (more broke than we were in 1975) and ended up like Venezuela already. So the sooner the better after 1975 for hankering to join.
On the terms Dave Cam negotiated - which are the best of any member of the EU - would be rather nice too.
Let's hope the EU will be willing to offer us Dave's deal when the second referendum (actually the third referendum) turns up a 66-34 "Remain" to match the joining referendum, eh?

Whitewall, we joined the EEC and the British people were assured there would be no polital convergence. This was a lie and there was. The chickens have come home to roost since then. The EEC now the EU is probably competing with the USA in corruption. And the EU investigate themselves!

Glesga,
May both governing bodies shoot their respective selves until they either get better or go away!
