I wonder if he’ll get his way.

"I Think Turkey Should Be Fast-Tracked Into The Eu"

So do I . But not before we are properly out. They can have our place.

[Peter Pedant]

so do I
an obvious thing to support since we are on the way out ! foo!

[ToraToraTora]

don't joke talbot, they'll be in soon I reckon.

[TheChair]

It's great reading the ramblings of the flat-earthers on here.

[Peter Pedant]

I agree
I think some people are taking this seriously ( foo again)

[jno]

ah yes, Boris wanted them in, didn't he

[Old_Geezer]

Fine with me. Perhaps it'll encourage western style views in the country, and the start of a more modern outlook in some nearby areas of the world. And the best bit is that having left, the experiment won't affect us so much.

"And the best bit is that having left, the experiment won't affect us so much."

But what will occur first, OG, our (proper) departure or Turkey's accession?

// But what will occur first, OG, our (proper) departure or Turkey's accession?//

or the man in the moons marriage to Princess Di ?
or the coronation of the latest Emperor of Japan
or the ending of Line of Duty or......

[Gromit]

You mean that Turkey are not already a member?

So this was a blatant lie...

And Turkey’s 76 Million population was apparently planning to come and live in the UK according one of the Vote Leave’s big Referendum lies.

Yep, any despot country that likes to vote 'until they get it right' is welcome in the EU.

I hope you don't mean the UK? :-)

[Spicerack]

If you're right, Gromit, why did the EU give them 9,000,000,000 Euros
Pre-Accession money?

Gromit, //Turkey’s 76 Million population was apparently planning to come and live in the UK according one of the Vote Leave’s big Referendum lies. //

That poster didn't say that. Who's lying?

[Old_Geezer]

They can't be considered lies Gromit since they've plenty of time to join yet.

[Spicerack]

A lot of them will want to come here, Gromit. Why do you think all those 20yr old Turkish waiters marry fat 70yr old widderwomen from dreadful places like Bolton?
