I know, hence it not true that most of Europe could have been considered to be “allies” of Britain during the conflagration of WW2................our most reliable allies could be found elsewhere around the globe…………..God bless’em. Franco may have hedged his bets, however he still sent the Blue...

I thought we had tried to shape it under Saint Anthony...................how did that go.................. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/8181392/Tony-Blair-EU-rebate-surrender-to-cost-billions-more-than-estimated.html

Yep, thank God for the EU and those big multi-nationals all based in the EU creating jobs……………..there are no jobs for those outside the EU (the EU protect their own right?)...

Thank God for that........... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/9904266/The-EUs-sugar-ruling-thats-left-a-bitter-taste-at-Tate-and-Lyle.html

Ha, hardly........... As I have stated, the unelected European Commission can implement regulations which do not require the member states elected Govt to approve through implementing legislation. They go straight on the Statute book..........no vote by national elected representatives. The...

No HT is wrong.........the unelected EC makes the laws, the Parliament approves them, it is infinitely more powerful. The role of the Commission has extended much further into areas like the Greek crisis and the influence of Juncker in the negotiations was central. Martin Schultz and the role...

No, you are right, let's not worry about olive oil, let's look at something more important like TTIP, and how the creation of this agreement and all of its corresponding delegated and implementing acts are being lined up...

Here's a webinar for you on the powers of the unelected EU Commission post Lisbon Treaty..... http://www.eu-academy.eu/freeresources/eu-regulatory-affairs-implementing-delegated-acts/ Here's a debate with the 2 experts in connection with democratic legitimacy and the power of the Commission...

Let's put it this way, what is the greater affront to British democracy, the unelected Houses of Lords or the EU Commission, there is no contest. Your choice to stay in in light if Greek shenanigans speaks volumes. As for WW2 I am not going down that rabbit hole........there were plenty of...

That would be telling...........after all our time on this matter let's not spoil the fun we have about the EU now. So let's start with EU Directives........created by the unelected Commission, passed by Parliament and implemented by member states Govt. Implementing acts. Then there are EU...

I guess no more than you and Bernard considering your recent posts. My “obsession” if you choose to call it that is that we learn from history and preserve our sovereignty at all costs. I think history would indicate that this county was always ultimately better off in resisting European...

So your point is that because the UK's centuries old consitutional framework allows for a democratically elected Government to have its laws rejected by the unelected House of Lords, then we should have no concern with a relatively new constitutional framework (since 2009) that allows a foreign...

Regarding your point about Cameron's constituency and democracy, you may want to cast your mind back to May and the fate of those Labour MP's in their rock solid Scottish seats................5-10 years ago I bet they would have been as indignant as you.

True, but then the UK's Head of State has no power to create or impose law, whereas the President of the EU Commission through the Lisbon Treaty has the power to impose law on member states without getting the EU Parliament or member state's parliaments to approve. There was a thread on here...

Firstly, what President of the EU are you talking about? You know there are 3, technically 4 with the revolving country driven presidency? The EU Parliament President, who I suspect you refer to has no real power, the Parliament only approves/amends law from the Commission, it does not make it...

To have an EU passport as you describe you evidently confer the apparatus of statehood on the EU......that's your right, good for you. However, in this EU utopia of yours, can you explain to the sceptics of your vision, who is your head of state and how did you elect him/her? It's important to...

I see, this "we" you speak of is it the political continent of Europe you think you are representing or is it more like you and your imaginary best mate Bernard? Either way you are evidently as mad as a March hare.

Ja, Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher.........
