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.

      Thames Water - water meters

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      I would check that you have in fact been switched over to paying on usage rather than the old fixed rate system with an annual increase. We had a meter installed 18 months ago but had to request paying on metered consumption.

      free for Southwark residents

      By trinidad · Posted

      Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk

      Thames Water - water meters

      By EDmummy101 · Posted

      I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt.
