    Next year at some point everything is going to change and you will finally smell the cofee

    The EU commission does not exist at the consent of the EU parliament, the EU parliament simply rubber stamp whatever the EU commission propose.

    What makes you think the EU parliament does more rubber stamping of proposals than the UK parliament?

    UK parliament can propose to create and repeal legislation.

    EU parliament can not.

    UK parliament is also asked to rubber stamp proposed legislative changes, which were proposed by the same chamber.

    EU parliament can only amend proposed legislative changes prior to rubber stamping them or not.

    It's really quite simple, the EU institutions are set up in a way in which the executive/commission/bureaucrats are not elected and untouchable by the representatives of the people of the EU in the EU parliament, and EU legislative proposal power is consolidated with the commission.

    As distinct from the way the EU slaps tariffs on African countries?

    The EU is a price inflating protection racket, we will thrive far better as nimble free marketeers making the most of global links and dynamics.


    Embrace the change toastie, you might find the wind of change on your face invigorating and exciting, think of all the innovations and opportunities ahead, think how we can trade properly without the old farts in Brussels dragging on us.


    We will trade with the EU, but now much more effectively with the world.

    Can't and won't.

    The world RT wants relies upon consolidated centralised power. There's no other way to implement the ideology, in particular the equality of outcome.

    It would not surprise me to see that RT would strongly agree with:

    "From each according to their ability to each according to their need."

    Does he know where that quote comes from though?

    Old farts? Thats pretty rich.

    You Brexiteers live in a fantasy land in which Brexit will lead to the dissolution of the EU; with the UK suddenly showing the robust European leadership it hasn't mustered a single spark of in 5 decades, to run the show.

    You are barking, but you don;t really care because you simply aren't going to be around to suffer the consequences of this reckless and thoughtless gambit when the EU carries on and we are shut outside.

    you have repeatedly made it plain that you only feel comfortable with people from white christian european countries but you really must break down this xenophobia and try to engage with the peoples of Africa, Indian China, SE Asia, the Americas etc.
    It's unlikely that you will ever be comforatbale with them but just try not to actually hate them and try to treat them as human beings.

    Because the EU have just announced large fines for some Japanese lithium battery producers for alleged price fixing from 2004 to 2007.
    "It also sends an important signal to companies: if European consumers are affected by a cartel, the Commission will investigate it even if the anticompetitive contacts took place outside Europe."

    I see too that the trial of IMF's Christine Lagarde started today.
    She risks up to a year in jail and a fine of 15,000 euros ($15,895) if convicted.

    Finally for now it would appear that the Dutch are (again) putting a spike in the EU's wheel regarding Uraine.
