Default Why we do not need European Law in GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND

The only shred of dignity Britain will have left after Europe becomes an amorphous blob is the English language, which most experts agree should become the official Euro-tongue.

However, a secret document suggested that even this might be tweaked a bit.

It says that English spelling does leave room for improvement and that a five-year plan has been drawn up to develop EuroEnglish. In the first year, 's' will be used instead of the soft 'c' and 'k' will replace the hard 'c'.

Not only will this klear up konfusion and make the life of sivil servants easier, but also komputer keyboards will need one less key.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome 'ph' will be replased with an 'f'. This will make words like 'fotograf' 20 per sent shorter.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to get to a stage where more komplikated alterations are possible. So double letters will be removed to inkrease the likelihod of akurate speling. And the horrible mess of the silent 'e' wil be banished.

By the fourth yar, peopl will be reseptiv to steps like replasing 'th' by 'z' and 'w' by 'v'.

During ze fifz yar, ze unecesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou', and similar modifikations vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After zis fifz yar, we wil hav a sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.

I'm not sure if your serious or not.

Its more like Great Britain pushing its culture on the rest of Europe by the barrel of a gun, but you are the lapdog of the US. So this doesn't surprise me.

Oh I'm serious mate.

It was a light hearted joke at how Europeans, and Germans in particular, are trying to control us......

But telling the truth to boot.........

Edited to add:

It's actually a jibe at Germany, who are the aggressors in Europe, always trying to dictate how other countries are run. They apparently wanted the English language changed some years ago, and the way the article explained this was quality in that it finished as if Hitler himself spoke the last line.

Great Britain pushing its culture on the rest of Europe ? It's the other way round mate.

And just remember.........

THE EUROPE WE ALL ENJOY TODAY IS BECAUSE OF GREAT BRITAIN.

NEVER FORGET THAT.

How do you gather that?

Do Europeans drive on the left side of the road?
Do Europeans use pounds, ounces, yards?
etc

That is pure crap. Sorry to be so harsh but it is that way. The whole language changing thing is lied from the beginning to the end. No one is planning to change the english language. It would be just stupid. Plus could you englishmen stop the stupid Hitler comparisions? Everytime when something Germany related comes out england calls out Hitler it just pisses me off. As if he is the only famous politician from Germany or as if he is still reigning. To say Germany always is the agressor is wrong. Ok we were fully responsible for the 2 WW and partly for the first. But this has changed now. Just remeber who was the one invading the Iraq and who was totally against it. Of course Germany has a big influence in Europe. We are the third biggest economic power in the world, we are one of the biggest countrys in Europe and we have the most inhabitants of all countrys in the EU. It would be really strange if we haven't had any influence but we can't decide anything alone in the EU.

Well said Dragoen.

All this anti-European bollocks springs from one source. Rupert Murdoch. Its either Sky, The Times, or The Sun -any one of Murdochs rags or TV stations.

They have such ludicrous stories such as ''the EU wants to ban British sausages'' or ''they want to make our crisps square'' , or ''they want to take away the English language''.

You know why Murdoch has this anti European crusade ?? It's because the EU has laws that curtail media monopoly. ie no individual or organisation can own dozens of newspapers or TV stations. Murdoch doesnt like this, it means he can't smother the entire population with his rabid right wing shit.

Being part of Europe is the best thing that can happen to the UK. The US doesnt like the idea though, it needs to divide and rule wherever possible, and is shit scared of a strong Euro.

Billionaire Murdoch should fuck off back to Australia and stop peddling his racist lies.

I'm sorry, but I don't share that sediment. The reason Germany rule Europe is because their economy is very strong, compared to the other countries. If anything, they are propping some of the weaker economies.

And this non sense that Britian doesn't try to influence European or Nato matters is pure non sense also. To me, there is good balance between the countries, and I don't think one country is trying to lead the agenda over another.

Not at all. As part of the EU any changes within the EU tend to force us to shift towards a more European way of thinking (for example we had to change from selling fruit and veg in pounds and ounces to grams and kilograms.

We're less of a lapdog to the US now Blair as gone.

Brightside that isn't true.

Germany, France and the UK are the big powers in Europe so they tend to take the lead in discussions and tend to have the most influence.

The German's aren't trying to rule Europe, they just recognise the benefits of a more United Europe, as do France. Unfortunately because we are doing very well on our own and because the benefits for us, being an island nation set apart from the rest of the EU, are far more limited we tend to be far more negative about the EU.

Europe is not the way forward.

I don't want to live my life ordering fucking half kilos of sprouts at Christmas, just to please some wanker of a twat in Germany or France or where fucking ever.

I want to live my life in MY country, free from those bastards in Europe.

Limit the foreign immigration and I'll also be happy.

It's not much to ask.................
