Down the river

Blair seems to think that he’ll have enough EU support to keep the UK’s working time opt out.

That is exactly the point.

Our elected parliament wants one thing, our EU project leaders want another and who do we have to turn to? What a joke.

You know, every time a UK politician harps on about Lords reform and how necessary it is to have an elected Lords chamber I wonder why their vision stops at the door of their parliamentary building in Westminster. How many EU parliamentarians are elected by us? Certainly not enough to legitimise the power that Brussels wields over the UK. Sure, the others may well be elected by their own “constituents” but they are from constituencies that have absolutely nothing to do with us in the UK. For that argument to hold any water we would have to have exactly the same rights, privileges, centrally set and administered taxation regimes, laws etc as all the other constituencies in the EU. Oh! Wait a minute!

The political classes and what they have and are doing to this country and union of ours disgusts me. They have lied, cheated, misrepresented and hushed up nearly every aspect of their glorious project for decades.
