Can only benchmark against many many years in the private sector. There's has been significant change and improvement. Yet there's still much to that can be done.
The Police, Prison Service, Social Care, Probation Services, LA Social Services, Libraries have all been slashed....the NHS has not had the money it needs to cover its costs while sticking to targets. That is my first hand experience.0 -

He he. fascinating stuff from the EU.
Many countries are fighting to take over the financial regulator and drugs watchdog role, currently run by the UK.
There's so much unity in the EU that they're having to hold a secret ballot by members to see who gets what role. They don't want any punch ups if countries know who voted for who.
Presumably Juncker will eventually announce the winners X - factor style in some elaborate ceremony.
Link only headlines - rest behind paywall.

Well yeah, obviously.
Any EU country would love to have these high paying jobs and their local multiplier effect within its shores.
If it was a diktat from Brussels about where those institutions would be relocated to, you'd be pontificating over that.Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -

The only thing really obvious is the avarice of individual EU member states leading to disagreement.
A real taster of what's to come since they are incapable of agreeing pretty much anything without protracted squabbling from past experience.0 -

Hopefully the jobs will go to a country that doesn't have a large share of the levers of power of the EU already, unlike countries such as Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Germany, which have a disproportionate share.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Not as stupid as celebrating the empire whilst splitting the United Kingdom.Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.0 -
The fact is that, talking from personal experience, we love the UK but would prefer to continue to be part of the EU for various reasons which have been done to death on this thread already.

Because we already live in Europe. The British Isles is part of Europe. I know that is really hard for you lot to understand, not least of all because few of you could find Italy on a map without help, but it's been like that for rather a long time.0
