All this happened in March. There was an enquiry in April ( if I recall correctly). The socialists say there will be a reassessment. Pesky lefties. So, it is not even over yet.

Apart from that’s not what they said. They said they may get penalised by Japan for having their office in a tax haven. Japan has just completed a trade deal with the EU. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I have said that it was a sham and that it annoyed me. You say it is a scam and it seems to have annoyed you. Yet you claim that I cannot handle the truth. I don’t see a great deal of difference between us. Just that I don’t have to go on a rant about it every day. The Mail is a joke and the ex...

That’s new. How come you know that and no one else?

That is exactly how Britain has always worked. We have never had votes on who is chancellor or who is the top civil servant. Are you saying that countries who don’t elect civil servants are crooked? Where would you like to live then if that is the case?

How does it work then?

London is worse than Luxemburg now and tax cuts have been threatened by the UK in the case of a bad or no deal.

There was an enquiry. It was accepted. There will be a reassessment. Maybe they will change his status at the reassessment. If the vast majority of MEPs want to change things, then you should be happy. I hope they do change things for the better. Bad though it is, there are other things to take...

No. Just pointing out facts. I have agreed that the Selmayr appointment doesn’t make the EU look good. You don’t need to leave the script and make things up to say that it doesn’t look good.

It is not for life. He has to retire. Much lower jobs than „action man“ Jared Kushner?

„On this issue“. Means not necessarily everything he says and does.

Do you class getting a job as winning a vote? The EU is not run by Juncker. Judging by the protests within the EU, the EU doesn't accept being 'ruled' ( or rather appointments being made ) in this manner. Strange you should use this as a reason for leaving, whilst the uproar in the EU is...

Did you miss the reason why they are going? We are planning to cut corporation tax to keep firms in Britain. May be good if it makes us more competitive, may also reduce tax revenue to be used for e.g. NHS. Perhaps you are right on this occasion, and we should stay in and keep corporation tax at...

Yes. It includes: There was an enquiry. It was found that the appointment was within the law, but not in the spirit of the law. The parliament accepted that the appointment stands, but with a compromise. There should be a reassessment. It shouldn't be allowed to happen again. No one is...

It was a job appointment not an election. The UK doesn’t elect civilian servants either. Yes, it was a sham, but there wasn’t an open vote and wasn’t supposed to be.

I was asking what vote you are talking about for Selmayr?

Do you know what reassessment means?

What was the vote? Who was entitled to vote for this civil servant? Was Olli Robins elected? Yes, the appointment was a sham.

What have I twisted? You on the other hand omitted the "reassessment" by September.

In the links, the "lefties" have accepted the compromise vote, but want the reassessment by September. According to you MEPs can do nothing. The fact there will be a reassessment ( whether anything happens then? ), together with future transparency, is a statement that something is being done. I...
