Yes, a peculiarity British thing. Call a referendum on the most important and devisive subject, to quell an internal debate in one party. Whilst at the same time being badgered by a populist movement led by an Arthur Daly type spiv, backed by dodgy businessmen. Then not to recognise the effect...

The question is whether the appointment of Selmayr is on a comparison with 65 million people leaving the largest trading bloc in the world probably with no deal. You prefer to keep on about Juncker and Selmayr. I prefer to point out that, at least in the short to medium term the UK and EU will...

I mean that the UK is the only country to have a „Brexit“ vote. No other of the remaining 27 wants that. And no one else would come to the „cake and eat it“ idea. Which is borne out of „they need us more than we need them“ idea. That is a peculiarly British stand point.

It is true that Europe will take a hit. Schadenfreude, another benefit from Brexit. Enjoy. It is also true that Brexit is a British idea and all problems arising from it are the UKs fault. We’re leaving. We’re in control and we have taken back control. Say the leavers. Great. Now tell the WTO...

By claiming that Juncker helped his protege get a position, the whole EU is corrupt, you justify is leaving the EU. It has mentioned enough times that the EU itself is in uproar. There was an inquiry which upheld the appointment, albeit with heavy criticism and a note that it would not be...

What cracks? It is functioning well. No one is leaving the EU or the Euro. Countries are waiting to get in both. What is cracked is the UK. How long before the government collapses or there is a crisis in Northern Ireland or Scotland because of Brexit? Brexit has ruined the country. We’re...

Defend what? Nobody is defending Juncker’s coup. Just that the reality is that it has been upheld. Farage is in the media everyday- sometimes he is on Fox News as he is busy liasing with the American right and spreading his fake news and lies there. But, as soon as he gets back he is on LBCor...

He also invented things like EU membership for Turkey and millions of Turks coming to the UK, or more than the population of Romania coming. Juncker’s Coup would have gone unnoticed a few years ago. So, people are taking notice of the EU and it’s importance for Europe. I am just hoping enough...

My feeling is don’t vote for them. They are populists offering easy solutions and false promises to get to power. The MEPs are selected by the EU Parliament vote on a PR basis. MEPs vote in political groups not countries. If people want AfD in Brussels they will vote for them. I won’t. I always...

Why would they target German accounts? Germans could not vote anyway. Most Germans think Brexit is stupid. I don’t think the leave level of argumentation would change their minds about the EU. There is no push for a referendum on the EU here. No interest at all. No problems with FOM. Foreigners...

You know full well I am in Germany. Anyone here will explain what targeting is. I am not on their radar.

You better tell Farage as well then because he has made it his duty to go round other countries spewing his bile.

Actually you are factually wrong. I was not subjected to the UK media onslaught from leave during the referendum campaign. Probably because FB and others are not interested in me as a German account. I am doing catchup now that it has happened. It is more the opposite of being brainwashed by...

What are you on about now? It is a view. I would have thought there was evidence of bribery, and it would have been brought out. I have not saluted the guy or approved of the scandal. Just asking questions and trying to put it in perspective. The difference with FIFA was that it was allowed to...

He is a civil servant. He is now in charge of the EU civil service administration. Since when do you have democratically elected civil servants? Apart from the head of the Commission. He has been imposed on the civil service, not on the democratic parliament.

No. The fact is that it is a „view“ . I would be bothered if the „view“ turned out to be right. No doubt you are bothered as the leave campaign tricks are coming to light.

Oh, you mean Bannon’s mate. Well, well... He says she should walk away if necessary. Great. We are up sxxt creek and now need the advice of a far right Bannon conspirator. If we do that and have to renegotiate our favourable terms that we have as an EU member we would be at the mercy of all...

So, he didn’t fiddle an election to get the job which the Telegraph says he is well qualified for. Any proof that he is out of depth, or are you just saying things?

Explain. Explain why his job is irrelevant to the discussion. I thought it was what the discussion was about and how he got it. You seem surprised that he tried to achieve what he is paid for.

No. I am trying to find out if anyone actually knows what his job is. I also keep asking which election he fiddled to get the job.
