    You are correct that one must treat other EU citizens as your own .agreed. Now a Spanish Citizen might be brought to the police station and then bailed out after an hour in the cells,for objectionable behaviour.

    Well since 50 has spoken, all other comment is irrelevant. But its not EU law that is stopping expedited expulsion,it is domestic law. Rest assured the Spanish authorities (and the Manx authorities) were acting within their laws when they expelled undesirables. In the case of the Isle of Man, it...

    Come on now.. you know that is untrue. Perhaps you need to look a bit closer to home and realise that your legal system is antiquated. Napoleon may have been many things, but he reformed the law systems in France, Spain Italy into a simplified and codified system which allowed both parties...

    I have commented on it before, but to show how important the UK figures in contemporary European market thinking, I refer to a quintessential British product.. the electric kettle. The instruction booklet comes in French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Tunisian and Moroccan. The only...

    Yes its a great time to be alive,when one considers the alternative. But can you not accept that it was SUPPOSED to be a slam dunk, easy peasy arrangement with everything better than before, not a* we weathered the blitz, we can handle this". I thought it was Catholics who believed in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You are still continuing the conversation of victimhood and punishment. It is still the same narrative. Because the EU won't ,and in fact cannot give the UK everything it wants, then the EU is punishing the UK,is a tabloid fantasy. If you want to wallow in it, no-one can stop you. Now I have...

    Fingers.. you are no different from the rest,,you all believe this propaganda that the EU will fold,. How could you think otherwise all your media is saying so. But its not going to. .

    Does PM have the right to dissolve Parliament?. My assumption would be that PM would move a motion to do so, the Parliament would then vote,and the PM would inform the Head of State. Now all it takes is two members of his party or indeed any of the DUP to vote against the motion ,and it is...
