Topic: A Godlike Margaret Thatcher OWNS a stupid Swedish liberal.
ShitArse !saAqdaazn2 started this discussion 12 years ago#34,489
Classic interview by a Swedish TV show, gets really good from half way. At one point the Swedish bitch asks if British people are better than everyone else because she hates the ideals of Hitler. Thatcher then OWNS her by pointing out that Sweden was neutral during WW2. The interviewer then asks Margaret Thatcher to make a little jump in the air for fun but she slaps her shit down.
God bless Thatcher R.I.P and lets hope Nigel Farage finishes what she started.
I made it clear to anyone who understands the English language that I may return. I never said I was leaving forever, remember - Low IQ.

ShitArse, did you know that the statistic in your OP image is very quetionable, and may be highly inaccurate?

I thought that my IQ was merely liberal?

ShitArse, why have you stopped responding to your gay-bashing topic? Can you not think of any counter-points to people's responses?

TTEH noted in another topic that the 75% was merely an estimate. However, UKIP has failed to mention this in their promotion.

I haven't looked into it. Is there a time limit?
@previous (Killer Lettuce !!iNo3FkiZx)
An estimate is fair use. If it wasn't the poster could be pulled.

Where did UKIP get their 75% claim from? Well, handily they provide a video on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmK-f88gcx8) which shows it comes from Hans-Gert Pottering, EPP MEP and President of the European Parliament from January 2007 to June 2009:
“If we were not that influential,” the subtitles show Pottering as saying, “then we would not be the legislator of 75% of all laws in Europe.”
But where it suits UKIP’s purpose to interpret this as literally meaning that, EU-wide, 75% of ALL laws stem from the EU, had they included more of Pottering’s speech the context – and therefore the meaning – would have become far more apparent. For what Pottering was actually saying was that the European Parliament (not the EU) legislates on 75% of laws *passed by the European Union*. Not passed by EU member states – just by the EU itself, at EU level. Because the European Parliament has little say in something like 20-25% of EU legislation (something the Lisbon Treaty would rectify, but that’s for another day). German speakers will also be able to confirm that the subtitles on UKIP’s video of Pottering are not 100% accurate.
So the 75% figure does not apply to the percentage of laws in individual member states that stem from the EU, but the percentage of laws that stem from the EU that the European Parliament has a say in. That’s an entirely different kettle of fish – and so the 75% figure can safely be dismissed as based on a (deliberate?) misunderstanding.
