I travel regularly in Eastern Europe and know Poland reasonably well. The Poles are very positive about the Brits but borderline racist when it comes to Ukrainians. As Poles have moved to the UK to work, Ukrainians have moved to Poland to fill the gap.

So when Poles move abroad it's great but when Ukrainians do the same, it isn't.

Which is the same when Brits go to the middle East to work for a huge pay check for a while.

Not having to deal with this individual.

Jean-Claude Juncker has been accused of cronyism after picking his notorious head of staff Martin Selmayr as the European Commission's most senior Eurocrat.

The unexpected promotion for the German diplomat, who the European Commission president affectionately calls his 'monster', immediately raised eyebrows in the UK.

Total lack of democracy it appears. As the guy is in essence unsackable. Even when Juncker retires in 2019.

This caught my eye about food banks ................ in Germany!

Tafel Deutschland in Essen, one of the charitable association’s more than 930 nationwide food banks, is currently only accepting new customers with a German ID card.

Will we have less to do with him from the outside?

Who is "we".

Seems as if self interest trumps all for many, i.e. money.

Not judging by the rhetoric last autumn. When it was being suggested that countries needed to join the Eurozone or risk being ignored after Brexit. Though the juggernaut appears to have suffered a couple of flat tyres since then.

Somebody is pumping air in the repaired tyres as we speak.
Well okay, as we type.

Strengthening the EU is a central element of that deal between Germany's two largest parties, traditionally rivals, and Merkel said the agreement would offer "essential impulses" in reforming the bloc.

Sigmar Gabriel the German Vice-Chancellor is recognized as being aligned with the views of Juncker and Schulz on an increasingly-federal Europe.

Can you blame the hostility, any new member posting in this thread who happens to be pro-brexit is instantly accused of being a banned member or when remoaners run out of anything substantial to say they accuse all pro-brexit members of either being ex banned members or racists....

But you stick with your conspiracy theories... (or point scoring)

Spot on.
You wouldn't mind if the accusations were correct but they're not because I looked and none of the ones they mention uses emojis the same for example.
Plus they have been on here at the same time and I'm not sure that even having octopus arms would help do that trick, as for being 6 well has anybody got that much time besides anything else.

They're just mad because they aren't dominating as they would like IMHO.

We as in all of the remainers I've encountered.

Self interest usually trumps all on both sides. That's what makes the outcome look so unclear. What's in Mays self interest? Her job, her husband's investment company or the Tory party?

Then you live a sheltered existance. Travel a little may help expand your mind.

The outcome is perfectly clear. Will be what the British people wish it to be. Unless one actively participates then nothing will change. Simply slagging off people and organisations you don't like achieves nothing.

Has anyone got full access to the Daily Telegraph? I'd like to better understand what this is about:
