    So you think the public and private companies aren't allowed to pass judgement and decide who they engage with?...

    If I recall for ECJ UK was average for notices received, very low for ignoring those notices and highest success rate when we did challenge the notice. Notice is like a warning from the court that they think a memberstate is not in compliance.

    TBF we did have opt outs which allowed us...

    What you ranting about?

    You said US and UK were forcing their progressiveness on to others. You then cite 3 countries which have not been subjected to this progressive tyranny. So just which countries have?

    You can't possibly be saying Sweden?

    I know you GBeebies...

    Bharat and India are official names already.

    India is where China was 15 years ago. It doesn't want to rock the boat and just max out on economic growth. Morality is for developed nations.

    Modi is an ethno-nationalist **** though and frankly concerning how much he might steer...

    Big issue is im not sure what can actually be done regardless of who is in power. Human Rights laws are a real hinderance and I think the danger is that we reach breaking point on immigration that countries turn around and say '**** it' and roll back the legislation en masse. Whereas if we could have...

    You don't say Luton county court is not a Court of Law because it has no legal authority to hear criminal cases. Different courts of law have different remits.

    Parliament has the power to adjudicate MP's actions and pass sanctions including the suspending of a democratic representative's...

    It's Article 6 of the Treaty of Lisbon. It's got a bit of legalese barrier (due to EU law) but it does mean that ECHR membership is a condition of EU membership....

    There is no deep misunderstanding between memberstates. There is systemic delusion among the EU elites.

    Memberstates, as in the populace, are broadly in agreement. Immigration is OK if controlled. Mass uncontrolled immigration is not OK.

    Fortunately for us, FPTP keeps extremists...

    Parliament is a Court of Law.

    What law do you think they are enforcing here? Asking how streaming companies are managing the Brand situation is a valid line of inquiry for an MP who focuses on the media and censorship. Sure the wording isn't perfect, but you're all acting like Mrs Soprano...

    Do you not think an MP, or group of MPs, might have questions about how and why someone is allowed to profit from 'drama' around sexual offence allegations? That's before you consider the manner in which that person responds.

    You agree that censorship in general is needed to some degree....

    Broadly speaking.

    US = Defamed has to prove intentional lie.

    UK = Defamer has to prove truthfulness.

    Yes they could have, and we could have veto'ed everything. However in 2016 the EU elites were clearly on a trajectory that the UK disagreed with and at best they were paying lip service to any dissenters. It seems now the new elites are waking up to the idea that they can't just force and bully federalisation...

    I doubt there will be any prosecution. I imagine some civil claims though.

    Personally, if Brand doesn't sue the papers then I'm deeming him bang to rights. Numerous people have stated he has previously been very litigious about this sort of thing....

    Not really seeing the tyranny here. They aren't telling the companies to do anything, they are asking for them to explain their position.

    Government is funded by Parliament, not the other way round....

    It's not, but there are mumblings from France and Germany that it is being considered and looking at the road ahead for the EU I don't really think they have much choice. Recession/Euro-crisis and mass uncontrolled migration won't be pretty if the EU hand's are tied because some members don't want to...

    I don't necessarily think he is misjudging public opinion especially if the whole multi speed EU materialises.

    Drop 'ever closer union' and the politics involved in it and what issues do most people have left? Even FoM can be solved relatively easily with something like 'You must be resident...

    So Bailey didn't raise rates in part because the market didn't expect it. Yet also says that rates are forecasted to be 1.9-2% end of 2025. The market is pricing end of 2025 rate at 4.5%...
