Re: Germany
Rich 2, you have obviously had your head in the sand - Germany and France are very keen on every member of the EU following EVERY diktat issued from Brussels - except themselves.
Have you never wondered why everybody else's economies are going down quicker than the number of Tories who /haven't/ been Brexit Secretary while the French and the Germans seem to be able to weather any storm that comes along? Maybe ask the Greeks how much they like having an unelected bunch of Brussels-based Eurocrats controlling their economy, or the Italians how they feel about their recently-elected government - elected largely on the basis of their fiscal promises - being told to go away and come back with a budget that matches what Brussels wants.
And now Macron and Merkel want a "European" Army? Not that this is really new - if the remoaners hadn't lost the Brexit referendum, that nice Mr Junker was supposed to start a tour of the EU requisitioning... sorry, /requesting/ people and hardware to form the core of... a central European Army. It's a matter of public record - but they don't want the public aware of it. I wonder why?
