That’s a remainer tweeting about fake news on social media, without linking to it or screen grabbing it.

How does anyone know this isn’t remainer fake news about brexiteer fake news? Both sides are less than blameless in that regard. But the OP has posted this up as fact.

All a bit boring on both sides.

What the heck are you talking about? I voted Remain and I’d like to see some evidence that what you say is being said is true. Now, do you have a link to the pro Brexit rumour of EU conscription?

Or is there a chance that Grayling is wrong, or possibly, without evidence of his claim; could of made it up, because it serves a purpose?

Turkey already has compulsory military national service for males. If/when they join the EU, would they have to abandon this set up in favour of integration into a European army. Genuinely interested in peoples opinion on this.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

I don't think that Turkey have got a snowballs chance in hell of joining the EU in the forseeable future.

Turkey should never be allowed to join. 2% of their country is European.

If I was allowed to pick two concessions from the EU that would be one. The other would be that Blair never, ever, ever gets a job with the EU.

You can say never but they ARE joining, how else do you explain this?

Here's a BBC reality check on the issue:

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35832035

Highlights:

Nigel Farage is right to say Turkey is lined up to join the EU one day.

But the UK government's formal position is to support Turkey joining the EU and over the years it has sounded enthusiastic. In July 2010, on a visit to Turkey, David Cameron warned France and Germany not to shut Turkey "out of the club".






I think there are far better things you could use to criticise the leave campaign.

Without doubt. I was replying to someone else who mentioned Turkey.

Fair cop.

I've had a look around and I can only find a couple of (quite extreme) leavers spreading this - I won't give them the oxygen of a link.

I did suggest a degree of certainty that I hadn't vouched - I trust Grayling's word that he's seen it, but accept that's not going to stand up in the Court of TWTD.

The point I was trying to get across (obliquely, I admit) is that people need to be aware of propaganda influencing them, whilst appreciating the irony that it's possible my example was such propaganda - which, as a final irony, somewhat back up my point.

Even if "only a couple" of Arch Leavers are spreading the rumour, that wouldn't make it invalid for you to point that out and call them out on it early, before it becomes a thing.

Why would you want to give more powers from your nation to guys like this bloke? The only thing he is missing is the tash. He is demanding more more powers, no doubt an EU army being one of them.

You heard it here first.

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.
