The majority of the world conduct their business in english.

The world isn't going to switch to french/german just because the EU is getting pissy.

I know someone who said that all the financial services would leave London and move their HQ's to Frankfurt because the only reason they were in London was because they spoke English.

To top it off he was a doctor. This is why I don't trust doctor's.

At minimum you can expect financial services to split their HQ's, resulting in job loses.

I believe an anagram of KFOAE would be KAEOF

There's enough EU shit without brining this down to the same level

[Jagermesiter1871]

Make the most of it
Speaking English in Europe will soon be a thing of the past!

Yeah no one in mainland Europe spoke English prior to 1973

With apologies for going a tad off topic

Perhaps you haven't noticed but Europe is not taking Brexit well?!

Danuta Hübner, the head of the European Parliament’s Constitutional Affairs Committee (AFCO), warned that English will not be one of the European Union’s official languages after Britain leaves the EU.

The Commission has already started using French and German more often in its external communications, as a symbolic move after Britain voted to leave the EU

Yeah lets see how that works out for them when no one in the EU is able to communicate with the worlds largest economy.

No idea if your quotes are accurate but assuming they are I'd imagine at worst it's all just symbolic.

Not enough on hobnobs though. It's about time. I'm sick of all the Huddersfield circle jerks and talk of play off finals.

This thread reads like a Daily M*il article. Some of us prefer The Guardian, you know!

[Davezk]

The Guardian is left wing drivel masquerading as a paper for the intellectuals.

It's best to read a broad variety to get a balanced view.

[Jagermesiter1871]

Or better yet - don't read papers. They're all a shit show.

All media is bollocks tbf.

[Jagermesiter1871]

Especially papers. At least other types of media have some regulation. The papers can literally print anything they fancy.

Which goes to perfectly illustrate just how far up their own arses the federalists over there are.
The whole world is going to have to learn French/German........ Yeah right....
/rantover

So long as English is the most spoken language in the United States, then the rest of the World will continue to speak it. Rant/patronizing comment over.

Hmm, they can't. Check out these things called libel laws.


It might not be what you are getting at, but it is alarming that loads of people don't trust newspapers, but do trust stuff they read on the internet.

All libel laws mean is that papers have to pay retrospective compensation or issue an apology when the subject inevitably complains. Fortunately it's usually a magnitude less than they make from printing said bogus article.

Although the internet and websites like reddit are open to manipulation, I'd rather garner information from them than newspapers who all have a clear bias. Saying that, if you're getting your news from Facebook then you're past help.

It depends what the libel is. It has nothing to do with money made from printing a story.

Although the internet and websites like reddit are open to manipulation, I'd rather garner information from them than newspapers who all have a clear bias. Saying that, if you're getting your news from Facebook then you're past help.

Papers are still held up to some degree of regulation and scrutiny. The internet isn't. The trust people have in internet news is quite alarming.
