The above is correct. Don't think us too squeaky clean though. Our MP's have been found to be illegally selling arms to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen against our own laws. If our MP's are willing to break those laws then trade laws are nothing to them. Some of the current party in power are the worst kind of money grabbers.

Our own foreign secretary (at the time) was found to be having secret off the record meetings with Israel to help put some cash in her (already full) pockets.

Well, the EU exists to make trade easier and cheaper; which obviously benefits the wealthy who stand to profit from that trade. So I see your point there. There is definitely an element to it that is designed to benefit elites.

I still think you are overlooking a different set of elites, hedge fund managers and so on, who stand to benefit tremendously from Brexit too.

Consolidating this, Leave / Remain is a war between two sets of elites, using the regular man as their pawns?

Listen over here in America, Israel is our greatest ally. We give them only 3.2 billion per year in aid and we get back...... can anyone help me out here?

Teppler is a good lad. He's found a collection of ideas that brings meaning to his life in much the same way that cCHRISTians and prAGGRESSIVES spout their spittle. Don't be too harsh on the boy.

But, why are the US hitting a Scottish product, if their truck is with (what I believe is predominantly) a Franco/German company?

Genuine question; wouldn't the US be better off tariffing things that are produced and exported by those countries, especially when relations with the UK are at a very delicate time?

Is it about teaching the UK a lesson; the US will persecute the UK if it stays kosha with EU? Does UK really want to submit to such a partnership?

Why a country with an ultra modern army needs aid is beyond me.

DISCLAIMER: Its not beyond me. Because its not "aid".

It goes to build Israel's massive border wall, meanwhile in America jews voted 71% for Hillary and were her largest donating block which means Israeli American's overwhelmingly voted for no border wall in America.
