Yes- De Gaulle vetoed our entry more than once before 1973, because he thought our farming , economy etc had things that were not compatible with the EEC. I don't know the specifics but I do know there are a quarter of a million French in the capital at the moment- probably because they want to work more than a 35 hour week,or whatever hours the French implemented from the Working Time Directive...although I suppose imposing a restriction on hours would create more jobs...

Ach-gawd have you ever worked or provided services in France


Painfully overly punitive neagative & suspicious


And that's within the EU


NO frakkin hope from outside, and that's one country


Cheers for that, thanks to all those who's only excursions were on a 'booze cruise'


As for business, forget it now

You seem to be ignoring the fact that MEP's are elected. The UK has 73 of them.

Brilliant for parties though, and for our wedding we got 200 bottles of fine stuff for about a third of the cost of buying it in the UK...does anyone know if once we're out of Europe the former import restrictions (which as I recall were about a dozen of wine and a bottle of spirits) will be reimposed? Not the most important issue at the moment I know, but...

Ah - I thought you were replying to my earlier comment, in which case mea culpa!

It's quite astounding to see the fact of just how many UK MEP's we have, wilfully ignored.

Voting to leave, really isn't voting for anything. It's voting against something. That is literally all the disparate bunch of miscreants leading the leave campaign had in common with each other - the fact that they didn't like the EU. Well fine, but that is like travelling in a plane that is uncomfortable and expensive and has a stop off you would prefer not to have to make and so saying "i don't like this", opening the door and jumping out.

It's clear that they all have wildly different (although universally half formed) ideas about what would happen next. It's really not good enough. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is today berating the government for not having a plan for what would happen post-Brexit. Do none of the Leavers feel that perhaps they should have been thinking about next moves before encouraging us to all jump from that plane?

      Okay Earl, of those 'consulted' how many voices were in favour of the junction and how many against? Were there more responses in favour or more against? This local junction change is being driven by Southwark Labour Councillors- not as you assert by Central Govt.

      You could apply the same argument to any kind of penalty as an effective deterrent.  Better than doing nothing.

      Check the link I provided above. It’s gives a very full account of where the push for LTNs came from, (in brief, central government). The consultation did not show that the majority of local residents were against the LTN. Not for the first time, you’ve confused a ‘consultation’ with a ‘referendum’. The outcome of local elections (which many opposed to LTNs excitedly promoted as a referendum on the scheme), suggested they are actually quite popular. All the polling on LTNs generally, also shows majority support across London.

      Rockets said: "Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway" This.
