Fuck it. Don't pay to defend your country or NATO allies, leave it all to the Americans. How could that possibly go wrong?

It would be a bit hypocritical of the US to refuse to respond if another country invokes article 5 when the US IS The only country to have ever invoked it.

And, which country is in the defaulters list? Canada. Can you really see Trump not going to their aid if they are attacked?

The EU cant organise quickly enough to be effective at anything other than a talking shop... and a common market ofc. Too many voices, too many opinions and too many laws requiring 100% consent. Thats their problem though.

I thought that was call to prayer for a minute.

I think locking on to Trump's ineptitude is a straw man in the EU army debate.

If there was an EU army right now they would be doing nothing because
(a) they'd be debating on their uniforms
(b) they'd be debating on retirement age (26 if France is anything to go by)
(c) they'd be debating on who pays what (UK - you pay ALL)
(d) Surrendering (WW2 countries take note)
(e) Too busy blocking roads with tractors and sh1tting in the street

Brexit will be almost implemented now.

Another Brexit benefit kicks off on 30th of April.

Oh and by the way - looks like they started it..

I was particularly loving the mayor in Brussels trying to cancel a mainstream political party conference being attended by leading business people and elected politicians because he doesn't agree with their views. When he didn't get his own way after persuading the two original venues not to hold it, he tried it on by telling the caterers they would never work in his town again if they did food for it.

Central European democracy in action right there.

He seems to have a particularly skewed understanding of the difference between "right" and "Far right" but I suppose from a position so far on the left it's bordering on communism, everything looks far right?

Frankly, the EU are being dicks for the sake of it with regard to cross-channel goods.

My colleagues and I deal with a few exports. So a sealed container of foodstuffs going through France for onward travel to outside the EU. That means the contents have been inspected and certified and a numbered seal applied to the container.

It had the wrong vehicle registration number on one of the documents. Everything else correct. Now what I'd expect to happen is the container be held at customs until new paperwork could be issued. There's no question about the container and its contents.

What I wouldn't expect is French customs officials to break the seal, casually open the container and tramp about in it. It's got foodstuffs in it and they are not even for use in the EU, just transiting on their way to Ukraine. If there was a question about its contents, there's a procedure for inspecting these things so it can be opened in a suitably hygeinic environment, inspected by someone considered competant to issue new documentation then re-sealed. Not rummaged through by some flatfoot on a power trip.

As it is, the whole lot is going to land up in a skip. As soon as they took that seal off without a competant person being present, the chain of custody was broken.

This isn't even something different to what happened before Brexit, the documentation is the same because it's a third country export. What has changed is the attitude of the French.
