Only the British could manage to insult everyone in one sentence.
Mar 25th, 2017 - 07:19 pm - Link - Report abuse -1Insulting Germany by suggesting they will revert to Nazism without the UK keeping them on a “leash”.
Insulting France by suggesting they would just capitulate and cower to let Germany do as the please if that happened.
Insulting the Italians by suggesting they are irrelevant.
Dismissing all the other European nations in the EU as powerless sock-puppets.
Get a Grip, “Lord”: The UK is nowhere as powerful as it was back in WWII, and it's economy is smaller than Germany, France, and soon Italy.

Mar 25th, 2017 - 09:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He's not saying Germany will revert to Nazism - they are probably the least likely country at this point. It's about power and influence, and how Brexit will reduce the UK's and increase Germany's.
Why do you think Argentina opposed Brazil's bid for a permanent seat on the UNSC? Hint: it wasn't because you were afraid they would turn evil.
Germany is in a very powerful position right now as it's one of the few large countries that has a well-functioning economy and is not in massive debt. Look at how it was able to set the terms for the bailout deals. The UK leaving will shift the balance even further in Germany's favour.
“it's economy is smaller than Germany, France, and soon Italy.”
According to the latest projections the UK had a bigger economy that France in 2016, and Italy is still a long way off, so don't get your hopes up too high.
Heseltine , farron , clegg, should all be sent immediately to the nearest asylum nuthouse and remanded in a secure unit,
Mar 25th, 2017 - 09:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Lord Heseltine should be stripped of his title and forced to apologise to the German people,
what a disgraceful insult to them,
I doubt if most of them even remember the war, and probably sick and tired of old farts like him, to keep on insulting them,
the man is obviously in a retarded mode with extreme withdrawal symptoms.
that's my opinion anyway.
