    No need to apologise Stan, the best post on this thread yet. It shows we can all get on and yet argue amongst ourselves with respect. Shame we've been let down by selfish politicians who are allegedly 'honourable members', they are, frankly, beneath contempt...

    Oh no Carney is preaching 2012 disaster again. <doh>

    On another note I hear the EU says "The British government has the power to unilaterally halt the Brexit process
    without needing the approval of the member states"..... :huh:
    Hang on did I hear that Correctly?
    "without needing the approval of the member states" <yikes>
    mmm when it suits them they don't need the approval of all of the EU states.

    An unelected judge in Brussels gives the UK parliament permission to ignore its own electorate, who voted to prevent unelected men in Brussels ordering what we can and cannot do..

    I also see Jezza has bottled the head to head with May. I knew when he was being coy with the BBC the other day he would bottle it.

    I think there will be a fair amount of violence in London on Sunday, Stan.

    Pleased to say I’ll be watching a more personal act of violence on that day as my 2 eldest lads are both boxing on the same day.

    I only think those comments come from certain people. Italy has big youth unemployment. France is France and will always strike and never change. The rise of far right in Germany Holland Sweden and Co....not to mention the various money problems and poverty in other counties. All we seem to do is moan here but i think we are a lot better of than some.

    UKIP are finished as a party. Farage has distanced himself from them. It won't be long before we see Farage setting up a new party if the will of the people gets over turned.

    What’s going on, some kind of protest? Hopefully not civil war.

    Good luck to your lads.

    You're a well read guy so try to look at some facts about the role and status of an Advocate General in the EU and also about the way Judges are appointed in this country- you'll then recognise the stinking pile of horse manure you've just dropped.

    You elect them (MEP's) too don't you? And they are no further away than eg Northern Ireland.

    I hope they have a sense of humour and call it The Gammon Party.

    The ****s in parliament are going to keep us in the EU, after promising to implement the referendum result.
    It was always going to happen.
    ****ers!

    Err, No. Nor left wing. It's not a political document. Just google the EC institutions for a factual description of the function of the European Court of Justice and the role within it of the Advocate General. It's like a GCSE grade subject which all who study Law learn and understand very quickly.in their legal education. However just as small children are born innocent and without any prejudices at all that knowledge gets easily corrupted by the parents beliefs and the garbage which masquerades as factual information spewed out by our 'free' press.

    As for judges in the UK, they have never been elected. That is why governments of all colours get irritated by them on the occasions when they exercise their independence. I have no doubt that there is some political influence or judgment over their selection as, unfortunately, the head of the MOJ is a politician.

    When you've done the homework I set, come back and issue an equally pithy one liner and grovelling apology for getting it wrong and misleading the public (well those of us who participate in this Forum. A recantation and denunciation of the false prophets who fed you that cobblers wouldn't go amiss either!
