    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Merkel has said there is no place in the EU for Turkey. Further away than the moon at the moment.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Are you comparing the staff appointment regulations of the EU civil service with the 4 freedoms at the core of the EU? Any comments on May‘s appointment?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    They said that not me. They were found guilty of maladministration for the reasons you state. A Union of 28 cannot be judged on a civil service selection process that was found to have been not properly conducted. Yes, it was for the top employee and it caused embarrassment. I said he should...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    They say the opposite to you though.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Well we’ve been through this a million times. They used a method of appointment which was designed for a case of urgency. The tribunal of 3 decided Brexit was the crisis and that Selmayr was the best man to guide the EU civil service through it. Plausible on the Face of it, but the ombudsman...

    Local elections

    I have said exactly the opposite to your lies. I said that the liberals did well- even in leave areas. The liberals have clearly stated they are a remain party. That may have something to do with it. I said that the EU cannot take our veto without our consent. At present they won’t get our...

    Local elections

    Here is a nice little read for you: „They may have been local elections across much of England and Northern Ireland, but it was Brexit that dominated on the doorstep and early results demonstrate that frustration over Brexit had a huge impact on the results. The country needs a solution and...

    Point out the lies then.

    Local elections

    My extreme right wing brother said none of the charlatan parties represent his vote, so he gave in a spoiled ballot paper. He forgets that the charlatan parties represent the current majority who would vote remain, or the majority who think that the referendum should never have happened (...

    Local elections

    Turnout figures will show if more stayed at home out of protest seeing themselves as not represented at all. The EU elections will be more of a barometer because the angry brexiters will be motivated and have a party to vote for.

    Local elections

    A lot of UKIP voters would have now voted Brexit Party, but seeing as there are no candidates, they probably stayed at home. No doubt they will be out following their leader in his new party at the EU elections.

    Local elections

    We have to be registered here in Germany, so everyone gets a voting form. Much fairer.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I said maybe at some future indeterminate time. Who knows what people think in, say, 50 Years? At the moment there is no chance of us giving up our vetos if we remain. Future generations may. If we leave future generations may just as likely rejoin without vetos. Who knows? You don’t and I...

    Tommy Robinson

    Thing is, he’s getting backing from the States and is what Steve Bannon calls a street fighter. Bannon thinks he’s great. Tommy gave a boring lesson on Trump and Hillary in London at the Brexit demo. Naff all to do with Brexit, but to keep the USA rich guys happy to see their money is being well...

    The EU parliament. The EU that is apparently not democratic.

    Tommy Robinson

    Tommy was discussing with him and accusing him of being aggressive. Tommy is actually not good at communicating one to one which is why it usually ends up in a dust up or him being told t fxxk off.

    Tommy Robinson

    No they won’t. The extreme right wing will never win a majority. Even Hitler needed the help of Von Pappen to form a government. At best they will have to be In a coalition.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The idea was to reduce vetos so that it would be easier to make decisions. Reducing vetos is necessary with more countries involved. The core vetos though, are less likely to be reduced, but who knows how people will feel in a generation‘s time? We could always leave if we felt that our veto was...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Various. Some need unanimous consent, others a weighted majority. The EU council of heads of government is the most powerful institution. Anyway, back to your argument. A veto is a veto no matter which paper says it. If you think otherwise please link.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Erdogan has said he is no longer interested in joining the EU. He has not met enough criteria and never will.
