Brexit: Letter saying EU referendum result ‘not legally binding’ signed by 1000 lawyers Ok.... In the UK, the Parliament is superior to the will of the People? Gotcha. https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |

Ok.... In the UK, the Parliament is superior to the will of the People? Gotcha. Erh... No. It's the way the original joining was done, and to undo it then the Houses of Parliament must hold a debate, and then vote either to leave it as it is, we stay in the EU, or vote to allow a change, which would start discussions, not necessarily starting article 50. It has also been mooted that even after a leave document has been drawn up, it must be approved, which, going by the previous changes to the EU constitution, would probably be by another referendum. Think of it as your 2nd, it isn't going to get changed without a lot fights, if ever. |

Ok.... In the UK, the Parliament is superior to the will of the People? Gotcha.Remember we left because the king was superior to the will of the people. After that they just transferred that superior will to Parliament. Much like we transferred it to POTUS, SCOTUS, Congress. Now California has direct will of the people, Propositions, and you see how well that works. :)) |

Yes. Perhaps another nail in the EU coffin... - This nomination shows that the European elite which Barroso belongs to does not feel any shame, says Pedro Filipe Soares, known Portuguese leftist politicians. Matthias Fekl, French Minister for Foreign Trade, appoints Mr Barroso to an "Obscene representative of an old Europe". His socialist colleagues in the European Parliament calling the nomination for "scandalous". The appointment for former Commission President José Manuel Barroso to the board of financial giant Goldman Sachs has prompted EU ombudsman Emily O’Reilly to demand a rethink of the EU’s conflicts of interest rules. http://euranetplus-inside.eu/eu-ombudsman-wants-stricter-ethics-after-barroso-goldman-job/ |

CoiffeurGate:) LOL One user posted on Hollande’s image the hair of US presidential candidate Donald Trump, with the caption; “'Wait, what did you do to me? This isn't my hair!' 'Oh sorry, I've been Trumped'†The internet is laughing, and the man who takes care of the hair on the head of the French head of state is laughing all the way to his banque. |

Not to criticize, but you people are the ones we consider to be the 'grown-ups' around here. I am woefully under educated in English politics, but if Mrs. May is not a Clement Attlee does that mean she must then be an Margaret Thatcher? edit: I was just askin'?...... |

Life looking good outside the EU... Brexit can work for Britain ...unlike that bimbo in the white house with his "bottom of the queue" statement. His corporations much prefer $$$$$ to politics. |

Sturgeon: Second independence referendum could be next year If you read what you linked to, you're probably laughing now, if not, why aren't you? "She has also suggested that Scotland could stay in the UK and the EU." |

Don't think they'll be joining the EU anytime soon Me neither despite Erdogan's efforts. "We will continue to cleanse the virus from all state institutions, because this virus has spread. Unfortunately like a cancer, this virus has enveloped the state," Recep Tayyip Erdogan told mourners at a funeral in Istanbul for victims of the coup. Oops I think Erdogan already have been caught by the virus... |

One for Mr Snark to contemplate... List prepared before coup "EU commissioner Johannes Hahn has cast doubt on speed to coup arrests. Indicated Turkey had a list of names of plotters before the coup even began." ...oops, "that didn't work out well" says Frau Merkel :-) |

"EU commissioner Johannes Hahn has cast doubt on speed to coup arrests. I wouldn't be surprised. But Turkey is also well known for all their conspiracy theories about the government. In fact about all politicians. And those theories can even have started a long time ago. Most of them are pure nonsense. btw. No country reinstating the death penalty can become a member of the EU, said EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini today. |
