What bollocks! He was elected for a term that ends in 2021 and I am glad that he is going then. There is no election until the end of his term . So I can only be glad he is going at the end of his term. Yes we had a vote on him. We voted with Hungary, but 26 other countries and than hundreds of...

Ffs. It has been answered a million times. He was put forward as a candidate by the biggest group, a conservative group in the Parliament. Voted 26:2 by an electoral college- the Council - and confirmed by a majority vote in the parliament. He was elected for a term which goes to, I think...

You are talking about either gross incompetence or criminal acts committed by someone ( „they“ ) in Italy. Nothing to do with EU law or policy.

See my other post. But the CSU are trying to outdo the AfD in Bavaria to stave them off, and it is not working: „However, opinion polls have suggested that Bavarians are more satisfied with Mrs Merkel than the CSU leader, weakening Mr Seehofer's position.“ The SPD have their own 5 Point...

Here we go again. We have been through this a while ago. Yes, that is disgusting and hypocritical by Juncker. Progress has, apparently, been made in Luxemburg since then. I am glad he is retiring. But...,, that it isn’t a get out of jail card for UKIP never voting for anti tax avoidance...

You mentioned working as crop pickers. And no the persecuted don’t all want to stay here in the EU to pick fruit on a seasonal basis , and yes those that have their claim recognised can and do work in Germany as well as people like me from the EU. You don’t have to take away EU citizens freedoms...

I said no one would form a government with them. They won’t. I said they are a bit like UKIP, they influence just by existing. I’ve said that several times. It is a thorn in the side. SPD seem not to take as much notice as CSU. Where I am 900 km from Munich and the Bavarian elections, they don’t...

Anyway just to annoy any Garage fans...Brexit's biggest campaign donor 'investigated by National Crime Agency over links to Russia'

Ok whatever. But do you think people fleeing a war are necessarily the same sort of people who do fruit picking? A lot of people won’t or can’t do that. Too much work. How would you force them? Anyway I never said anything like what Astute said. I just think the idea of getting refugees to do...

Here we go yet again... I said they are not a problem where I live.. 6% they got here. They are regional. You made the rest up. And yes they are a problem now in right wing Bavaria. Bavaria being the southern border of Germany and therefore most affected by the refugees in 2015. elections in...

No. Because I remember about Geoffry Howe... I apologies if I was wrong... I used to see him around Fitzrovia in the 80s.. so, I was a bit interested then. But that was a long time ago.

You said that the refugees should pick fruit. Normally fruit pickers are seasonal and don’t bring their children, but refugees do. How would refugees work long hours without someone to look after their children? How would older refugees do hard physical work? Crazy idea. Nothing like you claim I...

Yes I have forgotten because I never said anything like that . Unless you show me where I said that. I suspect you made it up as usual.

Well that would be on a par with other countries then. It is a difficult problem and with the growth of the right it becomes less humane.

Mainly.

If there even was a will of the people you may be right. Around 50/50 is not the will of the people. If you say that, you are ignoring half the population. As soon as it is perceived that things are not as promised, there could be a backlash Whatever happens, there has to be a vote at the end...

Most respected leader in Europe for years.. until the squabbling in recent times. Still rather her than some of the other „leaders“.

Never heard anything about that here. They don’t want any more refugees ( they on the right ), but never heard of people wanting to sacrifice their free movement.

Bla bla bla... babble. House of cards will collapse.. no it won’t. Been there done that, which is why we have the EU. Similar to the terminology: „kick the door in and the house will fall down“. Didn’t go right that time either and Russia survived and kicked that guy‘s arse. You keep coming...

Germany didn’t invade or bomb the countries where the refugees are coming from. Merkel is not to blame for the refugee crisis. Who drew the borders round these countries without taking account of local populations after WW1? The blame for a lot of this lies with the UK. What are we doing? Sweet...
