Reply to: What sovereign powers did the UK loose being a EU member?

May Day plan...

And why would you worry about bananas? Although they are the most radioactive of all fruit/seeds/nuts/elephants.

Can anyone name one thing Juncker has actually achieved? Apart from a bar bill bigger than Greece's national debt.

The Juncker Plan possibly...

Juncker Plan exceeds original €315 billion investment target | European Commission

Investment Plan for Europe: the Juncker Plan | European Commission

Seems to be slightly more successful than the May Plan....

The ability to spell 'lose'?

I chuckle when Scooty does that: The link will explain...

Just curious... Scotland cannot hold referendum without permission, therefore not sovereign. However the UK can. What sovereign powers did the UK loose as a EU member? Anyone?

I've said it before, he is responsible for brexit.
It is because of him that many people voted leave

[original PM]

Which is a myth, that has been debunked so many times and still being repeated by brexiteers

It's the dumbing down which I object to

It's more the banana's I am worried about.

How often is the Civil Service in the UK up for re-election, or are they jobs for the boys, for life? Does the UK parliament get to vote on who should be head of the civil service?

Titles like 'permanent secretary' should provide a clue.

[WTFH]

'The Civil Service helps the government of the day develop and implement its policies as effectively as possible.'

Seems that Junker is therefore overstepping the mark in his role - he has no right to make any decisions but he seems to do a lot of it.

'we, the electorate' can also replace politicians in the EU. It's just a bigger electorate.

As for Juncker, he is essentially the EU's Head of the Civil Service with an overly grand 'President' title. Nobody in the UK voted for the UK's Head of the Civil Service, Head of HMRC, Head of NHS or otherwise. So why be so bothered that we didn't vote for every single EU bureaucrat?

But what about bendy carrots? Who'd have thought that you argue one way then the other?

You can only vote to replace one in Westminster. In the same way that you can only vote to replace one in Brussels.

You do not vote for every MP in the UK.

Who would've thought that the world's leading capitalist country actually has some decent food standards



Maybe the remoaners would prefer it if we adopted the USSR levels of food standards - assuming at that point there is actually some food.
