    Yeah, bloody immigrants:

    Born in Edinburgh, Gove was raised in Aberdeen...

    Fox was born and raised in a Catholic family in East Kilbride, Scotland...

    Although born in Inverness to a Scottish mother, Crabb's upbringing was mostly in Haverfordwest, the county town of Pembrokeshire in Wales.


    Bloody bankers...

    Leadsom worked in the financial sector for BZW, Barclays Bank, where she was Financial Institutions Director from 1993 to 1997. In this role, she was given a "ringside seat" in the collapse of Barings Bank. She went on to become managing director of De Putron Fund Management (DPFM) from 1997 to 1999. She was Head of Corporate Governance and a Senior Investment Officer at Invesco Perpetual from 1999 to 2009.

    From 1977 to 1983 May worked at the Bank of England, and from 1985 to 1997 at the Association for Payment Clearing Services

    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      What about the "Special Advisors" and the "Envoys"?

          So the EU is as democratic as we need then? More democratic than the UK or less democratic than the UK. Or is it your logic that says because all democratic systems are flawed they are all equal democracies?

            No, my logic is that your logic is flawed if you believe the UK Civil Service is democratically elected. It's nothing to do with the EU, or all democracies, and everything to do with your logic. You are not a democracy.

              The civil service is not supposed to be democratically elected it carries out and manages government policy.

                I don't know just how thick you are but the whole argument is about who we let in in the future it is not about who is and who isn't an immigrant nor is it about who is allowed to remain in the uK and nor is it about stopping immigration. If you want to argue for an open doors immigration system then say so instead of side tracking a weak position into a racism or anti immigrant diatribe.

                  Had a humour bypass recently? Remainers getting to you? Lost a few contracts due to anti-foreigner prejudice? Not as thick as you are obviously as it's not possibly to answer any questions from the above as no-one actually knows the answers...

                    The system in the states is far better where if the government changes the officials change.

                      It could also be improved if MPs and the Civil Service were on performance related pay and pensions.
