General Discussion
Hawking is a man with an opinion, just like everybody else.
And now, apparently, God wants us to stay in the EU. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/28/peace-europe-different-faiths-must-unite Desperation from the Remain side.
The EU is beyond meaningful reform, it just ain't going to happen. Cameron recently grovelled his way round the EU table, and came back with crumbs. The backtracking has already started, with EU president Jean-Claude Juncker stating that implementing the agreement "won't be easy". The agreement, for what it is worth, still has to be ratified by the EU parliament and could be struck down in an ...
Sooo much crap in that blog, hardly worth reading.
The EU budget for one. All discussion on that has been put on ice until after June 23rd. As one Polish MEP says "they don't want to open the Pandora's box before the referendum".

His decision is not just cowardly. It is an abrogation of his prime ministerial duty, which is to face his opponents in ...
With Germany pushing for the creation of an EU army with them taking leadership (of course), I think it imperative that we leave the EU: “German security policy has relevance — also far beyond our country,” the paper states. “Germany is willing to join early, decisively and substantially as a driving force in international debates . . . to take responsibility and assume leadership”. ...
EU Chief Juncker Warns UK Over ‘Deserters’ European Commission boss Jean-Claude Juncker has warned the UK that “deserters won’t be welcomed back with open arms”. In hard-hitting comments, which have sparked accusations of intimidation among eurosceptics, he said the UK would “have to bear the consequences” if it voted to quit the 28-member bloc. Juncker goes on to say that ...
