I'm pretty sure we were fighting for and with most of Europe in WW2.

No, Britain fought on the same side as a lot of Europe. France, Poland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Luxembourg. In fact, most of Europe was on our side in the end.

Most of Europe fought against NAZISM, you know that right wing dictatorship which was allowed to grow in Germany fed by blaming certain sections of the population as the cause of all the troubles, sound familiar.

Media lies again! Check up on the 1994 and 2015 referendums in the Ukraine. Tell a completely different story to what you were given.

Are you saying that the arguments taking place in the UK are going to make Germany into a Nazi state again?

Well, obviously one part of Europe was not on our side!

More likely to be the Nazis taking over in this country.

STOP BREXIT!!
Do you know - Immigration was one of the last reasons for coming out of the EU. There were so many other reasons which had priority.
Did you know that Germany is now attempting to enlist the Balkan countries? I say Germany because they, after all, control the EU. Empires worked for comparatively short periods, when experienced war lords overcame nations, but they ended due to internal conflicts. In the present age, war is no longer the strategy, none of those seeking an Empire today have any such experience. It is down to subterfuge and confusion. Unfortunately, such leaders choose to ignore history.

Oh I don't know, the Holy Roman Empire lasted for over 1,000 years. Germany, as you must know, was also part of the Holy Roman Empire until its dissolution in 1806.

Odd that Farage and Cummings should concentrate on lies about millions of Turks coming here. Then producing posters showing thousands asylum seekers and refugees.
Never made much of the economy. Or mentioned the Irish border. Although I doubt they even considered that particular problem.
As I've said before, perhaps not all leave voters are racist, but I guarantee that all racists voted leave.

Immigration, freedom of movement was very much part of the leave campaign, particularly in areas with a high proportion of EU workers, plus of course we had the " promised Turkish invasion" immigration barely counted

Yet Poland is quite happy to accept around 9 billion Euros from the EU budget.
