So, because he wishes to destroy you and your way of life in order to better himself that's OK.:scratchhead: Bannon is a straight forward good old fashioned anarchist who has said he wishes to topple the EU and America will follow them within a year. Even Trump realised once he was in power, Bannon was to dangerous to be anywhere he could potentially do damage to the country.
I don`t recall saying that I agree with everything he said, I merely commented on his background in relation to his present position of wealth and prominence. Once again you are jumping on opportunities and using misquotes to forward your views.

I have never mentioned his background, it doesn't interest me. It's what he is now that matters. He potentially has the money and influence particularly amongst fascist styled groups to destabilise the west.

Maybe an ordinary for the likes of you, but Forbes estimate his personal wealth could be up to $48 million.
I quote your response to Wanton Dwarf's suggestion that Bannon came from an "ordinary" background upon which I commented that his current position and wealth should be looked upon as success. You indicated that an ordinary background and current position were irreconcilable.

Sunday could be a highly significant day for Europe, if the AFD make a very strong showing in Bavaria then its going to throw a ruddy great spanner in the cogs of the EU, the writings clearly on the wall now for Adolf Merkel and her party, what with the Italians playing a very clever game of brinkmanship with their proposed budget we could be about to witness the striking of a very large iceberg!...……………...And then what for all those dumb Remainers who are so keen to get themselves back on the ship and their bums in the deck chairs just as the ruptured hull is beginning to fill up with water:banghead:...…………..Nevermind, "Strike up the band";)

I assume the faded half of each column is their previous result? If so bloody hell, that’s a massive increase of AfD’s share of the vote. Quite concerning actually. They have come from nowhere to a significant proportion of the vote. I see the greens got an equally large swing. I suppose they got the half of the protest vote that couldn’t stomach voting for the right.

Imteresting day today re Brexit. Why don’t Labour come out and admit they want a fuller relationship with EU than a full break and stop messing around. Then we have a clear choice should an election come along. Neutral comment - both parties and their leaders have stated they would implement the wishes of the majority at the referendum, so now’s the time to “put up or shut up”.

Frankly, I’m not sure what is best for the UK right now, but the political sqaubbles are seriously undermining the public’s opinion of Parliament.

British farmers shouldn't get cheap EU labour - government adviser

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45887829

"So if you are wanting to make the UK a high wage, high productivity economy, which we generally are, it's not clear that making life very easy for agriculture - giving them privileged access to labour - is a way to achieve that.
"That really wouldn't be the end of the earth for the country as a whole. Obviously the NFU are not going to be very enthusiastic about it."
The Migration Advisory Committee has suggested forcing farmers to pay a higher minimum wage in order to encourage increases in productivity - or charging them for every additional foreign worker they employ.

Lifted rom the BBC article. Looks as though we shall be importing the food in UK. Park keepers it is then.

Probably.
Think you posted something similar recently didn’t you?? United States of Europe with each economy being on a level is a pipe dream. A common trading market and customs union makes sense. The EU handled the migrant crisis well on a humanitarian perspective, but it had created long term issues.

Yep the world is full of racists. Just as well for our forefathers that went across the Atlantic didn’t have quite such problems with the locals there.
