Is this the New Winston Churchill?

In Germany we see the EU-Parliament as an retirement home for quite unsuccessfull, recalcitrants or older Politicians. Not important enough to send someone important, so to say.
There is a say in Germany "Hast du einen Opa schick ihn nach Europa" which means "Do you have a Grandpa send him to Europes Parliament"

So in imho it would make more sense to have a stronghold in the House of commons rather then in the EU-Blatherer Shop.
What i also don't understand is this, when there is such an resentment against Germany and or the EU, why doesn't the UK leave the EU?
Nobody is forced to stay when he feels so highly uncomfortable.

And not to be misunderstood, i have nothing against beeing against the EU. I'm also against the EU, because i can't see the reason why the taxmoney of the german worker is wasted for the laziness, corruption and stupidity of other states.
I relly couldn't care less about Greece, Spain or Italy!
Their problems are homemade and there is no reason that the German worker has to eat the soup those jerks cooked!
But when you want to do something against the EU, you have to do it at your National Parliament and not in the EU-Parliament which is a toothless tiger.

Maybe i'm a bit harsh in my judgement but i'm a bavarian and i'm not really a fan of beeing part of Germany and its role in the EU to say at least.
IMHO Bavaria should gain independence again like it was until 1918 and restore monarchy and of course leave the German State immediately.

...yeah, let's go back to the 15th century, shall we?

I love Bavaria, and as much as I think it's a prolific and active part of Germany, I doubt it would benefit from independence.

If there's one country that surely benefited from the Euro, that's Germany! Your politicians tell you that your tax money is needed to fix the other countries, but the truth is that it's an easier excuse for them than having to explain what the hell they actually do with all your tax money.

Have a look at this article for example.
