Interesting to see him frame EU relations in strategic/defence terms today. If only his pals had pointed that out years ago and said, "No, we're not risking that with a referendum".

Colonel Richard Kemp has a fair bit of previous. From wikiOriginally posted by Diable Rouge View Post
See also.In April 2017, a column written by Kemp and published in Jewish News suggested that Baroness Warsi had sought to excuse the conduct of the Islamic State group. The column also suggested that she had objected to action being taken against British Muslims who murder and rape for that organisation. Jewish News subsequently acknowledged that these allegations were wholly untrue and agreed to pay substantial damages, which it reported Warsi would be giving to charity.

It wouldn't surprise me if many leave voters assumed the death penalty was abolished as a condition of joining the EU, and that the EU designs British extradition norms.Comment

I think that's probably right. A fair bit of the press purports to believe that.Comment

Corbyn to give speech today claiming the Government has wasted the "economic benefit" to exporters deriving from the plunge in sterling, and that's it time to rebuild Britain as a manufacturing base:

LS, maybe stop calling everybody you disagree with a cunt, and raise the tone a bit, eh? Particularly when it's based on a particularly slanted 'report' of a speech that hadn't been made at that time, and which (the 'report', not the speech) has been taken apart by all sorts since (for one response to the actual speech, see here). You might disagree with it, but c'mon...Comment

Aye, apologies, but if he really talked about bringing all procurement contracts to only UK companies, that’s insane.
I’m seriously worried about both what will happen to me as a foreigner in an EU state and my family in Scotland. And it’s making me a bit sweary.Comment

And yeah, that was a good thread.Comment

Fair enough, I get your worries.
I'd just spent some of my morning arguing with David Schneider and others about getting all frothy on Twitter before a word had been said, so am a bit sensitive to that particular report...Comment

Who said "we need to manufacture less and rely on the City"? Complete strawman.
A lot of us are extremely worried about the effect of leaving the single market on services and our economy. Yet Labour's stuck with a bloke whose economic vision amounts to "there used to be a factory down the road".
Good luck with getting trade deals on the basis of "we're not having cheap imports".Comment

Interestingly, it appears the repeal of the European Communities Act will itself be repealed:
