And, of the rest, most are comprised by nominations from each sovereign government. The same sovereign governments so beloved by the Leavers. And the European Council is comprised of the 28 heads of government of the EU member states.


Oh, and 'faceless bureaucrats'? The EU has about 55,000. The UK has about 440,000.


It always amazes me how little about the EU the people 'against it' know.

Farage.


What does he do? He doesn't design or make anything. He doesn't build anything. He doesn't grow anything. He doesn't offer a service. He doesn't fix anything, or indeed even offer any advice as to how a thing might be fixed.


He spends fifteen years stamping on something - until it breaks. And then he buggers off, leaving everyone else to clear the shit up.


If that's someone who deserves some sort of 'due', well.. I'm out.

Well he helped to get people thinking... He helped to get people talking.. As did Boris.


They helped to bring about the Biggest turnout in history .. to vote..


Other wise we would of just plodded on as we were for ever..


So whether or not Brexit goes ahead.. There will be a lot more discussion..

and things WILL change.. The UK will have more say and.. 'We wont get fooled again..'

We were all missled by both sides..


I made my mind up in 1975. This recent referendum (in my mind ) WAS the second referendum and a chance to put things right after 40+ years of E.U rule. We gave it a good run.. but it wasn't working for Britain.

yes, things were certainly put 'right' in the referendum, that's for sure.


In the same way that you put a car on a bumpy road 'right', by veering swiftly off track and driving over a cliff in the dark.


Excellent strategy. As long as you don't give two shits about the future of the country.

We haven't left yet.. The country is still IN The E.U.. and the mess it is in has been happening for some time..

The UK has been going down the pan for years.. not a week..


Now.. for the first time we can put it right.. Our laws.. Our rules...

..and I do give more than 2 shits (as you eloquently put it in your usual manner) about the future of MY country.

I'm curious about what laws and what rules youre talking about, the ones you seemed to want to reject in such a way it's damaged your country


Explain please, I'm at a loss here

I'm not a fan of Farage or Johnson. I'm certainly not a fan of Cameron who also threw his toys out of his pram

when he did not get His own way and bottled it when he is the Leader (PM) and should of stayed on and dealt with things.


And as for Corbyn.. ? FFS. we need to get rid of the lot of them...


No wonder Brussels was able to walk all over us...


There is no one out there with any balls..

You seem pretty sure all our problems are due to the EU. Others disagree.

Well in the future we will find out who is really to blame. You're convinced it's those nasty foreigners, I reckon a lot more of thoE problems are home grown - why don't British people want to do all that fruit picking jobs around Peterborough? Any idea?

You've condemned the future youth of this nation to the future you think they should have.

It's not just your country, and other people will have to live with the consequences of your ill-informed decision for much longer than you.

You really are one of the most arrogant online presences I've ever encountered.

I blame foreigners for nothing.. I'm happy to use Polish , Hungarian , Black workmen in my home..


I'm happy to eat / drink in any restaurant and be served by people of ANY ethinic origin.


I'm happy to be seen to my any doctor / nurse what ever their nationality


I welcome skilled people who have something to give.. This country depends on them..

So DO NOT play the race game with me..


So I am convinced of nothing as you suggest..

Is that right ?

The Commission, which is the Executive ie makes all the decisions ( headed by Junker) is unelected.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
