Cameron's latest flannel ,their could be war in Europe if Britain leaves the EU .
I always thought it was N.A.T.O that had kept the peace in Europe .
He should be careful because he is starting to insult the intelligence of the British public and it could well work against him .
Originally posted by wolfgang59 I think that proves my point about education. 😉
I suppose if your lights went out and you needed an electrician or your toilet wouldn't work you wouldn't be to bothered about education then .There's more than just your field of education . 😉

Originally posted by ptobler What's the feeling on how likely Britain is to vote to exit the EU?
I'm not going to say which way I will vote but the mood in the UK, and the view of many people there is superbly epitomised in Jean Paul Sartre's play, Huis Clos, in which four people find themselves locked in a hotel room. They gradually realise that they have each died and the implication is that the room is 'Hell' because they have all died in existentialist circumstances (related to acts of passion). The play could be vividly revamped/ brought up to date so that the four people are the leaders of countries in the EEC, eg David Cameron, Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande.
But the difficulty would be that they all seem to be incapable of acts of passion (except perhaps Monsieur Hollande). The british electorate are bored and frustrated by the bureaucratic greyness that is the present day EEC huis clos. No wonder they want to escape from the room.

You picked on both my Achilles heels!
I'll try most things but water and electrics .... I've learnt my lesson!
(Perhaps that is why plumbers and sparkies get paid more than teachers?)
