Camoron made himself look very weak by this tirade.

Not PM material, but we all know that.

BoJo will wait his time and anser him in a proper way like any statement should.

Vote LEAVE on June 23.

The most common image of a failing Europe is that of something falling apart, unraveling, crumbling away, or even evaporating into thin air. This imagery is misleading. Following the British referendum, and perhaps even before it, the EU will most likely implode.

Once the odds of Britain’s exit from the EU increase from merely likely to near-certain, the rush for the exits will begin in earnest. It is impossible to predict which of the remaining member-states will lead the charge, but the floodgates are sure to open. Those pro-EU governments that still remain in office are under siege in almost every member-state. As in Britain, the establishment parties will have to appease increasingly hostile electorates by getting a “better deal” from the EU. Or they could face electoral oblivion.

Then Leave it is,

Why do many Eu countries despise us?
From a telegraph reader,

Where am I now
The first British casualty on D-Day died from a bullet fired by a Pole fighting for the Germans at Pegasus Bridge. We went to war for Poles and got no thanks then or since.
Would the brave Poles declared war on Hitler's Germany if they had tried to invade us instead of them?.
The Czechs made arms for the Germans and got well paid.
The Bulgarians, Romanians, Albanians, Bosnian Muslims, Italians all fought with Germany. The French supplied the largest number of foreign SS Division troops, followed by Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Spain (the blue division) Norway and Denmark.
The Turks and Southern Ireland were pro-German. Coincidence
Greece fought against Merkels granddad and are now still being punished as are we
