The BOT's should be part of the UK, so it's all UK soil.

The argument against it is local control to better suit local conditions.
Don’t think that is what this guy is talking about though, but it is going to have them choking on their Mate and Milanisas in Malvanazi HQ.
Choke away boys!!!!!!

Wake up and smell the coffee...no one gives a shit about Britain....
....Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way....

You already seem to be correct sir, if the jealous detractor posting at 4 is anything to go by.
You called that one.
Who rattled your cage...?

I live in Britain....
Do you...?
Nah...of course you don't....
You mad, bro?

Never has much if anything intelligent to contribute on any subject.
There are far more intelligent Argys who post here than McDimlo.
Even if you don’t agree with them, at least you can have an intelligent conversation with some of them.

Yes, I see that. Singing and self-referential ramblings.
Who ever asked the moron where he lives?
At least the Canadian poster Enrique has something of relevance to say.
Moving on.
UK is doing the obvious and consolidating their position. Credit to the new PM and her Cabinet that they are wasting no time and plotting a determined course, in the UK's best interest.
As would be expected.
Oh no.... not another Johnny foreigner UK sycophant....
Jul 27th, 2016 - 11:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0WTF determined course has the new PM been plotting...?
First I've heard of it...more like going round begging for favours and being snubbed...
Meanwhile the £ is still worth bugger all and I've still lost money...
Well done UK....Look Ma top of the world.......not...
Be quiet Voice, the adults are talking.

Jul 28th, 2016 - 05:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, still early daws with the new Gov, looks good so far but it will need to be, there is a lot to be done, much of it will have to be learnt as they go about it.
Certainly going to be an increase in the number of civil servants like never before in peacetime.
Getting any kind of agreement from Europe is probably going to be next to impossible, as much as anything because of the way the EU works, 27 different agendas.
Especially with the Spanish thinking they have a veto, with which they can force concession.
As we inevitably become more world view and less EuroTunnel Vision, the BOTs are going to come more into view, this Dr. Smith is ahead of the curve on this.

Well done UK....Look Ma top of the world,

Better for UK exports, and if you don't like the £, try investing in Argentine pesos then.
