Well done Poland.

How dare the EU try to rule Poland
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yay for Polish authoritarianism, the further erosion of the independence of the Polish judiciary, and the wider autocratic deconstruction of their constitution!

You do know what’s actually happening in Poland, right?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, Boris Johnson could have sanctioned the Supreme court judges that ruled his prorogation of Parliament illegal.
Not that they would have because all the judge's would have been nominated placeholders of his anyway.

Sounds legit and definitely something Ttliv's worldview could get behind, one party authoritarianism is always a good idea, nothing could ever go wrong there.

Who cares so long as the EU is falling apart.

“The fallback is the jacket potato”

ISS has told kitchen staff at 450 schools to stock-up on some foods to ensure children are properly fed through the winter.

Company says driver shortages, a lack of staff and import delays are causing supply problems.


Britain is apparently a developed country lads.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Its not developed enough.

Went to have a takeaway yesterday from my favourite local burger place, put two chicken burgers in the basket only to find out that NONE of the sides were available!!

Got to checkout and it wouldn't let me pay, turned laptop on to see the issue, and they had sold out of chicken burgers too

I had to get Jamaican pulled pork, with rice and beans instead. And it was delicious, but not what I had first wanted

Inhumane Britain!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
M+S Dalston didn't have Pierogi yesterday, it did have a sign apologizing for not having its usual wide selection of products. Oh the horror!
I like tagliatelli but it wasn't what I wanted.

Food shortage Britain.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bettwr have my Tuscan sausage penne or I'm marching on downing Street!

I think there’s a legitimate and serious debate about what the EU should do with Poland and Hungary.

They’ve been titting about with both of them since 2018 deciding how to sanction them, and for me, there’s a argument that both countries should have had the benefits of their memberships suspended already. WWSPD will be along momentarily but I believe there are mechanisms which based on the actions of the current administrations of both states would have allowed the EU Council to act based on Article 7 breaches.

The EU is a democratic institution made up of free and democratic member states which have agreed to uphold a number of explicitly stated values. Poland and Hungary aren’t open and free democracies right now.

Amazing how these people now agreed with Corbyn's policies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If I remember right at the last election yougov did polls based purely on the policies proposed by Labour and virtually all of them had 60%+ support.

Yeah I know. When associated with Corbyn though, these people all said it was a fantasy.

Lmao what that is some spin. How is "Poland's top court has rejected the principle of the primacy of EU law over national legislation in certain judicial matters" and "The Constitutional Tribunal said some EU treaty articles were incompatible with Poland's constitution" an attack on Polish judges? It is (a justified) attack on EU power grabs. Polish constitution rules in Poland, as should be the case in every other country.

I know exactly what this is, it's activist judges using the laws of a foreign entity to impose their will on a sovereign country, overriding their national constitution. That is treason. National constitution beats all and that should be the case in every country.

Labour's policies polled well in the 80s as well but they spent the entire decade out of power

Polling with one sentence questions on single issues isn't the most effective way of looking at how people vote or what the key issues are for them

Do Poland not have a role in setting EU law?

Yes. And they signed up to accept them.

Insulate Britain at it again ffs

The Commission begun infringement proceedings against Poland and Hungary some time ago.

Poland brought in legislation which meant judges were subject to political controls. Undermining their independence, a core principle of a functioning democracy.

Whatever your opinion of the EU, Poland signed up to the fundamental principles of EU membership, and has been found to have breached them.

As an aside Poland & Hungary also are subject to EU legal action as some (Polish) regions set up LGBT free zones. And "On 23 June 2021, Hungary published a law that lays down a number of restrictive and discriminatory measures."
