If you go back towards some earlier posts of mine, you will find that I recommended moderation in language by all concerned, and a reduction in the amount of personalise abuse on a few occasions. Since some of the contributors, yourself included, have chosen to ignore those requests I no longer...

Zathlan, when quoting someone else, it is usual to identify the source of the quote. Then any reader can check up on the bono fides of the original author. Probably just a simple omission on your part. What I find amusing? is that the term anti-Semitic is generally considered as a pro Arab and...

The number plate as a licence to park your bike on the premises is a good idea. It might even reduce theft... My sister tells the story that when she started in secondary school, at age 13, she was supplied with a black bike previously used by an aunt... When she to the bicycle shed. All the...

He presents a very strong logically generated case which invites a response so come on then.. those who believe that the" elite" is doing a good job, now is a good time to respond.

As I have said a number of times. I believe that Lord Kerr is incorrect. Who knows? Nobody.. it has never been judged on in a court. But it is very difficult to see how your Lord Kerr can interpret the words differently. The text reads very clear. This is one of those cases where I would be...

My point about training etc was intended to refer to those civil servants and politicians engaging with their fellows in Europe. But since you raise the technical training for industry, a topic on which I have professional experience ... The UK in a similar fashion to the major European...

I am not sure that was the intention in my posting. There are a number of areas in which any national government can insist on a derogation,in some cases temporary, and the areas will be different in each state, but ...and this is important there are many more areas in which all countries...

Zatlan, I can see from the trajectory of your postings in the longer term that you are coming towards a conclusion some of us had reached a long time ago... The EU like all human organisations is imperfect. It is peopled by officials who come from national politics and national civil services...

Except this is all fantasy . The UK parliament may discuss with itself anything it likes, but in the context of Brexit is utterly irrelevant. Option 3 above is not on any table. Persisting with that as a belief is just as harmful as any of the other untruths. The assumption behind it based on...

We, the learned Lord, and this bumbling fool must agree to disagree... As I read it the text is clear. I see no conditions in it.

Counting not my strong suite..26 or 27 ??. Back to your main point.. yes my contention is that Brexit is now outside the control of any UK government. Whether one considers it ridiculous or not is not relevant. The text is clear, and it was the clearly expressed view of your whole parliament...

.. no the only chance, in my opinion for a motion to recind being successful would be an appeal to the entire body of 26 countries. I cannot see that being acceptable in any letter sent under the name of the current prime minister or foreign secretary.

I have read up on the court case listed for the Irish courts last may and the reasons by the plaintiffs for abandoning it. It would have been naïve of them to assume that the Irish government, listed as defendants!! Would have played dead, even if would ultimately be in Ireland's interest. The...

I am not suggesting that Lord Kerr is or was a clown. I think the term forlorn hope might more accurately describe it.

Of course the UK is not being expelled. It decided by a large majority in its houses of parliament to enact a decision to leave...we are way beyond the the referendum at this stage so it is irrelevant. I will take your word that your Lord Kerr was the architect of the inclusion of the clause...

No their voltage was getting higher and higher until the fuses popped and power supplies gave up the ghost..which made it worse on the fewer remaining ones.. basically a cascade event and all due to a loose washer.

I choose the word " demand " deliberately in order to make the position of the UK crystal clear. One of the previous contributions ,the link was posted on this thread, possibly relating to comments by this Lord Kerr . ... sought to make the point that the UKs letter of secession was an...

No I did not listen to your mr Kerr. I do understand and appreciate the point that flecc was making ,.. but it's all conjecture. The only facts are those written down. I have no doubt that any EU official would welcome a communication from the UK seeking annulment of their article 50. The...

As I have stated on a number of occasions previously , I think your Lord Kerr has got it wrong, and it is wishful thinking. Once article 50 was enacted, all initiative was lost by the UK. I can accept fleccs argument that the EU might be willing to tear up the application for secession, but it...

That is true apparently. There are two alternatives. 1. They were really playing a very smart game of misdirection or 2 when the unexpected and unthinkable happened they found an upside... just as Henry 8th did.....
