How dare Merkel's attack dog threaten us!

So, we now have Herr Merkel’s attack dog threatening Britain ! Can I draw your attention to the following that occurred in talks with MP Sir Bill Cash, whose father died in Normandy at the age of just 26 and received the Military Cross for his bravery, of which Bill Cash is so proud . Bill Cash was aged just 4 when he lost his father and sheds tears as he recalls how his beloved Mum collapsed even before she read the dreaded telegram during those times.

Mr Krichbaum, Merkel’s attack dog, and Sir Bill had a sharp but courteous disagreement during a meeting in the Hague on Monday, but the gloves came off when they argued face-to-face afterwards. Mr Krichbaum, claimed Britain’s economy would be devastated as a result of lost EU trade deals, saying “You won’t be able to survive. Trading conditions will not be in your favour”.
Sir Bill retorted “Yes we can!, We’ve been doing it for generations. We have a multi-billion-;pound trading deficit with the EU. you run a multi-billion pound deficit surplus. You need to sell us your cars and trucks. What do you take us for? Do you think we are incapable of running our own affairs?”

It was at this point that lawyer Mr Krichbaum, 51, a member of Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democratic party retorted “ There is the question of tariffs”.
Indignant Sir Bill replied: “You’re not threatening me are you?”.

The Conservative MP told his German adversary: “There is history between our two countries. We have had to battle for our freedom over the last century. We should not and will not be governed by EU majority voting dominated by Germany.”

Good on you Sir Bill, give it to em between the eyes. Such arrogance from this nobody. It would be wise of Herr Merkel to muzzle her attack dog if she values any chance at all of the people of Britain voting to stay in. Such bullying words will not help the Stay In cause but will surely help us who wish to leave the EU as the British people do not like to be threatened or bullied - we don’t frighten easily as Germany knows full well to it’s cost ! His attempts at threatening us with trade tariffs may well - hopefully - backfire on them.

Discuss please…..

Hi

How dare he?

Simple really, Merkel and Hollande hold all the cards and they know Cameron is ineffective.

When we leave, we will be punished as an example to the others.

Germany and France do not want their cosy little club, run for their own benefit split up.

You only have to look at what Merkel did with the Migrants, just announced she was letting them in without any consultation at all and without a vote in the EU.

People seem to be under the misapprehension that when we vote to leave, we will then negotiate the terms on which we leave.

We won't be doing that, not at all.

We will be outside, we will not have a vote.

Merkel will tell us the terms under which we leave, the EU will cherry pick what is best for them, we will have no say in the matter at all.

The UK will have a maximum of two years to renegotiate our existing trade deals with Non EU countries, simply because the existing deals are EU Deals.

Do you think for one minute that Cameron is up to that job?

I don't.

An example is Airbus, a European Consortium.

It accounts for 100,000 jobs in the UK.

Out it goes, just move the machinery and jobs to France and Germany.

The UK is a junior partner, we will have no say it this.

One small business owner said on TV coming out the EU would make no difference to his business , the buyers will still buy from him ..

We have - his name is Farage ! I wonder if he would become a Conservative so that he could be voted as the leader, then we would have somebody with nouse and balls in the wheelhouse !

He will IMHO never become PM .
People vote for him because he is not conservative or Labour .

I don't see this as bullying at all, simply trying to explain the reality of what will happen if we do come out.
