Ramdini, Farage doesn't want us to leave Europe, he wants us to leave the EU. So do I and you can see from my posts I love going to Europe.

When do we get a chance to have a vote on all the great and good getting the tops jobs in Brussels? I see one of them is a criminal and she is in charge of the money. What could possibly go wrong? I hope will get out before the whole lot falls down.

These people who get the top jobs in the EU are the UK equivalent of permanent parliamentary secretaries. They are charged by the EU parliament to oversee the day to day running of the EU.


In effect EU civil servants with no powers to make laws.


Farage would have you believe they have some kind of legislative powers which is just another bare faced lie pedalled out by him an the rest of the right wing lunatic fringe.


They do the bidding of the democratically elected European Parliament and that's the truth of it.

Farage doesn't want Brexit, it's his sole raison d'être.

Did anyone notice how shell-shocked he was when the referendum result was announced in June 2016?

He is a total charlatan, much like Trump (but with less power). A lot of the people who vote for him will become poorer due to his actions.

Sure he can talk the talk, but it's all rhetoric.

Rameses the top jobs given today are for the new leaders of the EU. They will have the power, the top job goes to the German defence secretary, the finance job goes to Lagarde who has been done for some financial jiggery poker. Another job has gone to the PM of Belgium who had a vote of no confidence and refused to resign.

The whole set up is corrupt and gets more like the USSR every day. They should have stuck to the free trade stuff which I voted for in 1975.

Agree with you about Japanese attitudes, VC. I went to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, and there was a timeline along a wall that charted the events leading up to the bomb being dropped. It starts with the rise of fascism in Europe, covers several events in WW2, completely omits Pearl Harbour (!), then suddenly the Americans drop a bomb.
The Germans seem to have come to terms with their past much better than many countries, including ourselves. Few Brits seem to talk about our role in the Bengal Famine, or Churchill handing over the Cossacks to Stalin’s execution squads after Yalta.

I need some football news. This tangent about ze Germans came out of nowhere and is leading well off the trail.

Very well said Sheepy, I echo your observations. And to VC10's problems re democracy in the EU, remember soon we will have the biggest buffoon in politics today as our PM elected by 160,000 mainly white, elderly, blue rinsed bigots. At least I would expect much more in the way of general competence from the newly elected officials. I've no doubt there is a rich gravy train in operation, which European politicians are very adept at availing themselves including Nigel Farage and Doris Karlov.

And now to football, I hope today we get an announcement that Meneer Cocu is going to join us and that he will be encouraging the youth of our football academy as well as provo=ing tactically very sharp.

Welcome Mr Cocu.

The irony of telling the EU politico's to get stuffed, whilst blindly stumbling into "allowing" Johnson to become PM would be hilarious if it wasn't so damn serious.

Owt 'appenin at PP BTW?

Well Ramdini, at least Boris is an elected buffoon. And your comment about all Tory members being bigots is rather over the top. Many of these people are business men and do a lot for the country as well as themselves. It's like saying all Labour members are raving Communists.

Has he gone yet?....Oh I see he has.
