  1. House of Democracy? Ursula was the only candidate. That's democracy for you EU style. Here is the only candidate, vote yes or no. Hilarious.
    136
  2. EU trying once again to ignore their own law in the name of the rule of law. They aren't even pretending any more.

  3. Funny because just yesterday you were complaining about Israel "damaging EU investments" in Palestine, now it's positive momentum? The EU is a joke. When does von der Leyen actually do anything, she seems to spend all her time making speeches and doing photo-shoots.

  4. I bet Ursula was pleased she had a chair.

  5. Haha, oh dear, EU showing its true colours. Business will do as we say. That's known as fascism folks, you can keep your business but you have to do exactly as we tell you !!! Let's see how many foreign companies will be rushing to set up in the EU now.

  6. It's cruel asking this poor old man to do this. He is clearly confused and rambling and needs urgent help.

  7. Really? That's your consideration at this time? How will you know? Will it mention Brexiteer or remainer on their death certificates? How many deaths are you looking forward to so you might win this time? 1.4 million?

  8.  @mijicmugendo  Oh? Interesting. Do please educate me. What have I said that is incorrect?

  9.  @Ju88327  And now they are censoring my reply to you !!! That's two in one thread. They don't like it when people reveal the truth !!!

  10. Committed to transparency by refusing to publish the findings. That's EU speak in action.

  11. "Supporting them to this objective" translates into English from EUspeak as," force them to do what WE want."

  12. So what are you going to do? Cut off your own gas supply?

  13. The title doesn't correspond to the content. The video said "We don't know anything and we can't say anything." (but because we lost it must have been fixed).

  14. "Everybody knows".... Uhm, no they don't how can the US have had a "historical relationship" with something that has only existed for less than 30 years and is only a bureaucracy? If you want to make the world a better place get rid of the useless self-serving EU, that would be a good start.

  15.  @mijicmugendo  Well thanks for your selected segments from history. The US does indeed have a long history with European countries, not with the EU, which is just a paper pushing office. When you say culturally, do you refer for example to their legal system, oh no that resembles some other country's system, or their language? Nope, can't be that. Once again the EU tries to rewrite history, as do you, no wonder you are a fanatic. Not for long though the cracks are widening daily, the EU is crumbling.

  16.  @Ju88327  Yes I know how it works. Although that is not officially how it works, the supposed procedure is called the Spitzenkandidat system but it is completely ignored. The candidates are supposed to be known to all before the "election" (if you can call an election where most of the winners are decided before a vote is cast an election), even takes place. Can you think of any other "Democracy" that only has one candidate to vote for? The only people that have that sort of a system are totalitarian regimes.... And in all countries where the President has a lot of power and is not just a symboloic head of state, the people vote, the French Population vote for the President of France, the American Population vote for the President of the USA, but in the EU there is only one candidate and the people don't get a vote at all. I know how the EU system is supposed to work, how it actually does work, and that it is not democratic.

  17.  @Ju88327  I'll try posting it in bits Yes but how many Europeans knew that, even you didn't until I told you and you looked it up, and you think you are an expert. You do realise that the people were never asked that? Or actually they were, it was in the EU constitution. and the French the Dutch and the Irish all voted no to the EU constitution. So the EU changed it to a treaty, the Lisbon Treaty which they could have signed by the Politicians rather than the people voting for what is constitutional change and would normally be the subject of a referendum. The text of the Lisbon Treaty is identical to the text of the constitution. Giscard D'Estaing who wrote it said so. It's much easier to bribe or force 27 politicians to sign a piece of paper than to convince the people, so in true EU style they just ignored the people. Everything they do is about imposing their will and when the people say no they ignore them.

  18.  @Ju88327  Just read the other comments on this pro Eu video. Lot's of people from many countries have woken up to the EU, maybe you need to study it more closely. Oh and now you have discovered you aren't an expert you certainly seemed to think you were, you did say "learn about EU before commenting".
    3
  19.  @Ju88327  Well here's an easy way to work it out. In France there was Le Pen or Macron, In the US last time it was Trump or Biden, In the EU it was Von der Leyen or ????? Oh yeah nobody else. So that's how you know there was only one candidate.
    3
  20.  @EUdebatesLIVE  EU law is flexible, if they decide not to apply it they don't. If they allow this they are effectively condoning theft.

  21. She's on a jolly distributing largess everywhere she goes. But she doesn't have any money she's going to have to ask member states to pay in more.
    3
  22.  @Ju88327  They could not be bribed or blackmailed or forced like the lackeys who want to ensure their promotion prospects. MEP is not where the money is you want a nice job as an advisor or consultant or something like that in a nice office with no real responsibility, and in order to get one of those jobs you need to be seen to be compliant with the wishes of the Commission.
    3
  23. No second chance? OK I'll make a note of that.
    3
  24. Clueless, but they keep issuing and spending money I feel sorry for the European citizens who are going to suffer from all this.

  25. OK mate, if we can come and harvest your crops and your flowers.
    3
  26. Well well, so you have to rely on the guy you are sanctioning to be nice to you so you can heat your homes. If it wasn't so sad for the people it would be hilarious. Well done the Brussels central planners great job !!

  27. Hahaha, the whole thing is a complete shambles.

  28.  @03MARA01  Honda pulled out of Europe too. They closed all their factories outside Japan, so no it had nothing to do with Brexit, that site by the way has been sold and is being redeveloped by Panattoni to a warehouse and distribution Park creating 9000 new jobs. So we went from having no deals to having our own bespoke deals...that the EU don't have, so there's a benefit already. The EU don't have a trade deal with the US either, the US don't like trade deals, they only have a dozen or so. There is no queue for trade deals with the USA, that's not how deals are done you don't take turns. And we are not too small we are the 5th biggest economy in the world out of 197, that makes us one of the biggest economies in the world, not that size really matters, all that matters is do you have something we want and do we have something you want... who cares about size? Do you not buy from a shop because it's small? Only buy from megastores do you? If we had that approach we wouldn't be able to do deals with almost anybody because they are all smaller than us !! You have obviously never been abroad for work have you? You have to register locally, get in the system, you don't just waltz in , now you don't have any automatic rights you have to apply, but it's not hard. And the ETIAS system is not confirmed and if there is a cost it will be 7 euros valid for 3 years, hardly an issue. It's good anyway. We don't want people just crossing borders, that's not a good thing.

  29. Well done Poland !! Join us outside this totalitarian bullying organisation in the free world !!

  30. Easy; get rid of the EU and especially the Euro.

  31.  @75yado  We have been offering a deal for years the EU don't want one. Are you sure you like the idea that "anything can happen"...That would be most interesting.
    2
  32.  Christina G  Well apparently things are so bad in the EU, France in particular, people will get on dinghies to escape. Which EU country are they escaping from to go to Greece and Italy? What double standards do you think I have? I would be curios to know.
    2
  33. Or in...they pick themselves.
    2
  34.  @mijicmugendo  What a delightful person you are. Now I am "people like you". The UK will be there to sort out the mess as usual, it's a cycle you see, Europe messes up, the UK comes and rescues you and then you mess it up again and so on. It's only a matter of time.
    2
  35.  @stanisawsota298  I'm Scottish. Scotland isn't going anywhere. Sturgeon needs to keep going on about to win an election by splitting the vote. Scots know they are better off in the UK. This Anthony bloke is clueless, he doesn't even know any recent history. Polls are meaningless they get everything the wrong way round these days.
    2
  36.  @stanisawsota298  The EU began with the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, but the full thing was indeed cemented by the treaty of Nice and then the Lisbon Treaty. Before that it was indeed the EEC. When it was about trade not Political Union, that's where they went wrong, it was fine when it was just about trade.

  37. Not to forget the lovely bags of money they give us...

  38. How about leaders the people vote for. Nobody voted for von der Leyen.

  39.  @ovidiuov4317  They are censoring my reply to you...

  40. No deal it is then. Let's see how it goes, haha.

  41. Looks more like the EU is displeased.

  42. A paper pushing exercise as usual, that's all the EU does, shuffle paper and leech from the European people, a waste of space time and money. Shut it down.
    2
  43.  @Poultrymad  Yes, he sells his wine to the EU and then drinks it himself. How very convenient. We pay for it.

  44. Hahahahahappy New Year. The Euro an achievement? A success? That's really most amusing.
    2
  45. 47 years of membership, 15 percent of the population now, but much higher share before, only one top position in the EU, Roy Jenkins in all that time. The folk with the power are always from Benelux, France and Germany, it's a private club.
    2
  46.  @EUdebatesLIVE  Fascinating, how much is your budget?
    2
  47. The Empire must expand or it will collapse. But the remaining pickings are all going to be expensive...and there is no money left in the EU coffers.
    2
  48. It's the Golden Pension Register.

  49. Poland and Hungary should leave the fascist EU. It's actually quite funny, the EU ignore their own law and rules all the time.

  50.  @JosueMartinez-ww1vj  Trump? What are you talking about? They are supposed to translate, not decide who they translate for. Sack the lot of them.
    2
  51.  @bca-biciclindcuaxel7527  I will know what?
    2
  52. So the EU wants to encourage illegal immigration and overloaded boats crossing the Med? Interesting.
    2
  53. Let me paraphrase, Give us money.
    2
  54.  @03MARA01  Nobody said benefits would be "imminent". Who do you think said that? In fact we were told that it would be awful, that there would be queues at Dover and factory closures and mass unemployment and all the planes would be grounded and nobody would make any deals with us because we were too small, and the pound would crash and there would be no food on the shelves and well the list was endless and pounded out daily. When does all that happen? Freedom of movement isn't that useful, it isn't forbidden now, you can still go, there are loads of ways to go, they have millions of migrants from Africa and the Middle East roaming about, I'm sure it will be no trouble for a young Brit. Apply and fill out the forms, you would have to do that anyway, register for health and tax etc. Where do you want to go? Do you speak the language yet? That's very important you will need it !

  55. Hilarious, mind you the EU probably believe their own propaganda. The EU have done nothing except hold meetings.
    2
  56.  @magfes9209  Great, change away. So explain how you are going to make enough steel without coal. In the past we always had something better when things change. Something more efficient or faster or that provided improved quality. So how are you going to make enough steel without coal?

  57. Why are the EU funding Palestine? They shouldn't be meddling in the first place.
    2
  58. I hope the omens from the Sibyl were satisfactory.

  59. Well I can't wait to see all these taxes change the weather, it's quite exciting really, one of the greatest achievements of humanity. A wonderful future where nobody is glued to the M25.

  60. Good grief folks, you are paying this person's ( have to careful these days) salary.

  61.  @isacadc4552  Why? What does the EU do that your own government can't? Why do you need the cost of your government and the cost of the EU?

  62.  @isacadc4552  I do, it would seem you don't though. Come on what do the EU do that your own government can't?

  63.  Christina G  I really fail to see the relevance. Which EU country are these people fleeing to get to Italy or Greece?

  66.  @stanisawsota298  Yes and they bash nationalism as evil but want you to swear allegiance to their new Nation. Europe. Which is just Nationalism on a bigger scale. And the poor EU lovers just swallow it all up, it's so sad to watch.
    1
  67.  @stanisawsota298  But it's what they want. They want all countries to give up their sovereignty to the EU, so they control all of Europe from their unelected ivory tower of Babel. The Project, is how they refer to it.

  68. Since when did the EU order gas for the member states? If the EU imports 40% of its gas from Russia, and the US is going to reduce that by 20% then the EU is still buying 32% of its gas from Russia, so it's not exactly a solution just a temporary band aid.

  69.  @ovidiuov4317  If you can call preselecting most of the MEPs democracy. Plus the Parliament has almost no power at all, it is only for rubber stamping duties. Like rubber stamping the only candidate for President of the unelected Commission that is the only body that can make laws. It's a sham democracy, it is intentionally designed to keep the people as far away from any decision making process or having any influence in the law making process.

If it was democratic then people would run for the job, the people would vote and the winner would be chosen by the people, but that is too risky for the "Project", they need somebody who will carry on with the plan. What's the plan you ask? Well the eradication of your country, it will all be one big happy Europe ruled by unelected bureacrats in Brussels. You won't have a meaningful vote you won't be able to change or influence anything, you will just have to do whatever Brussels orders. Or you can wake up and keep your country !!

  75.  @Ju88327  But you are thinking that the "elections" for the MEPs should also be the elections for the President. There should be a separate election for the President. Like in all the other countries where the President has so much power. Thing is that the EU is no longer a trade bloc. It is the supreme legislator for all its members. Its law is supreme, its courts have the final say. You country is in the hands of the EU. They control your trade, your agriculture, your fishing, if you use the Euro, your money. They tell you what your taxes can be, you have to ask permission to change VAT rates, they control your borders too. That's an awful lot of power to be handed to someone who is selected and presented as the only candidate, and confirmed in a Yes/No simple majority vote by 720 people.
    1
  76.  @Ju88327  Can you think of any other country in the world that has only one candidate? Open your eyes. The longer you wait to wake up the more power they will have and the harder it will be to leave. Look at how they tried to stop the UK leaving, tried to force us to have a second referendum, worked and colluded with remain supporters to undermine the negotiations, were extremely belligerent, are still trying to get us to rejoin by stealth. They all have their noses in the trough, except those who are there to try and stop them.

  77. "Trust that has taken years to build"...What is she babbling about, nobody trusts the EU. What they are irritated about is being found out by the Belgian Police...How embarrassing.

  78. Blah blah blah. Interesting choice of pendant.
    1
  79. So would that be an insurrection? Or Election Denial? Or is it OK when the EU loses to deny the vote and have protests? It seemed pretty clear, 53% vs 37% combined for the four opposition parties, not even close.

  80. Hahaha, The EU is not Democratic, and it is them "picking off" small countries one by one. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so worrying. These people are megalomaniacs.

  82. Yep it does build bridges, the ones on the notes were all imaginary until a Dutchman actually built them all. Haha at least the Dutch have a sense of humour.

  83. Norway helped? They aren't in the EU.

  84.  @EUdebatesLIVE  Well thank your for your efforts, it must have been a big job making this epic. However my fascination, however gratifying it may be is not the question I am interested in. How much is your department's budget is and how many people work there? As the EU is seeking transparency this should be a simple question, even an approximate response would be great. Thanks very much for your inclusive and appreciative response.

  85. It's not far right, what a load of nonsense, the trouble is from the far left everything looks like the far right. She first criticises the Nation State as being the cause of war in Europe, and then wants Palestine to have a Nation State. This is far left thinking in action.

  86. It's true we are not equal, but the EU will just have to try harder, maybe they can catch up.

  87. Right, so you are going to win the war in Ukraine, Stop Climate Change, now you will cure Cancer, but all you seem to be doing is spending taxpayer money on all these things with no results.

  88. Hahaha, oh dear. Join the EU communists, that would be something to see.

  89. Stop welcoming and looking after them, that's the pull factor. Send them back home immediately, if you do that for a couple of weeks they will stop coming, but nobody wants to do it, if you let them stay, more will come, you want to introduce biometric checks on business people and tourists and make them apply for visas, so complicating things for those coming to spend money, but you let these people do as they please and wander around with no action and even give them money. No wonder they are coming, if i was in a poor country I would be interested in coming too !!

  90. What you need is more freedom and less rules, that's how you get rid of poverty. Let people work !!

  91.  Linksgrün versiffter Gutmensch  You are equating freedom with anarchy? i didn't say no rules, I said less rules. People want sensible rules everybody likes that what is bad is when the rules become ridiculous and pointless and politically motivated.

  92. "These emotions reflect our fondness for the United Kingdom – something which goes far beyond membership of our Union. We have always deeply regretted the UK's decision to leave but we have always fully respected it, too. The agreement we reached is fair for both sides and ensures that millions of EU and UK citizens will continue to have their rights protected in the place they call home." We never joined the EU, we joined the EEC, the EU was forced upon us, now we are out I feel for the rest of you, force your governments to have a referendum, stop this madness before it consumes Europe. None of these people were elected by you, and yet they control your lives.

  93. Does she know the system works I wonder, the VAT is claimed back, so is merely an accounting exercise and the Duty is determined by the EU and 4/5 of it goes to the EU. The whole thing is a scam in the first place, it should be permanently removed. Duty on medical goods. Really?
    1
  94.  @JV-dc7om  The importer pays duty not the exporter. The VAT is irrelevant as it can be claimed back anyway. The goal is to appear to be doing something when in actual fact they aren't really doing anything, because they can't, what can they do? They are just a bunch of parasites in suits shuffling papers.
    1
  95.  @JV-dc7om  If goods are cheaper to buy that is good, your point doesn't make any sense. If the Chinese wanted to profit they would increase the price by the amount of tariff removed, so the end price stays the same they can reduce the price at any time, it doesn't need tariff changes for that.. You don't make any sense. The purchaser pays for the goods they have to order them first. China can't force their goods on us any more than we can force our goods on them. Do you know how business works?
    1
  96. ​ @JV-dc7om  It still has to be ordered by somebody, doesn't matter who it is. You really don't understand. If I am Chinese and I sell 100 units at 1 and the cost to me is 0.7 I make 0.3 per unit, if I sell it for 0.8 I make 0.1 per unit. So I make a lot less per unit. You obviously don't understand what profit is. It is not turnover. The duty is paid at the point of import by the importer, it has nothing to do with China, it is an EU tax on EU companies and citizens.
    1
  97.  @JV-dc7om  I do trade with China, I know how trade works and import duties. I gave an elementary imaginary example to show the maths, nothing else.
    1
  98.  @JV-dc7om  You are confused, my example had nothing to do with China of course it didn't, it was arithmetic to illustrate how tariffs and profit margins work.
    1
  99.  @JV-dc7om  It is indeed, and all they have done is after all this time remove the barrier that they put in place in the first place!
    1
  100.  @JV-dc7om  Why is there a barrier on medical products? They are in effect forcing states to pay more for equipment and then pocketing the money, because many countries health systems are state run or financed. So they are taxing member states for importing medical goods. Who are they protecting exactly?
    1
  101.  @JV-dc7om  Then why is there a 16% tariff on Oranges?
    1
  102.  @JV-dc7om  Just think about what you just tried to justify. The equipment, whatever it is. Does it meet regulations? Yes or NO? Yes: it can enter the market. No: it cannot. So if it can enter the market how does charging a tariff on the importer provide any further protection? All it does is make it more expensive for us, the purchasers, and the EU pockets most of the Cash, what value do they add exactly for this tax?.
    1
  103.  @JV-dc7om  Exactly. So we have to pay 16% if we want oranges from outside the EU to protect Spanish farmers. Now you understand why we voted to leave,.
    1
  104.  @JV-dc7om  That is what I have been trying to explain to you...Finally You get it. We don't want the protectionist wall, we believe in free trade.

  105.  @JV-dc7om  I rest my case.

  106.  @JV-dc7om  Thank goodness because this primary school level education is tiring.

  107.  @JV-dc7om  Look it was you that came knocking requiring education, if you knew what your were talking about I wouldn't have had to waste my time. If you don't know how things work keep your opinions to yourself. Thanks.
    1
  108.  @JV-dc7om  I said she didn't know how the system works, and then you came along and showed you don't know how the system works. The mechanics of business is ABC, because those are the rules we have to follow.
    1
  109.  @JV-dc7om  It's not my model, it's the model world trade works on. For goodness sake, all I am doing is explaining it to you. However exasperating a task that is, and it was you that introduced ABC into the conversation, not me. Stop digging mate.
    1
  110.  @JV-dc7om  The mechanics of trade model. The mechanics are the same all over the world it is nothing to do with the EU it has evolved over a long time. You are in country A , you buy something from someone in country B. On import you apply the rules for import. All I have done is explain how they work, and they work the same in every country in the world. And my point was why did the EU impose a barrier in the first place !! Why do they tax Europeans for importing life-saving medical equipment? That was all I said, all the rest was your ramblings, and me trying to explain it to you.
    1
  111. Hahaha, any excuse to push this green nonsense. You are going to need oil and gas for decades.
    1
  112. So what has so dramatically changed that you find so awful? You will be grateful we left in a few years, just wait and see, the EU is just a paper shuffling operation designed to enrich the bureaucrats, they don't do anything that your government can't do.

  113.  @03MARA01  Business does business, trade deals just facilitate things, it's up to business who benefits. I find it amusing the Australians flooding our market with food, firstly you don't seem concerned with the EU flooding our market with food, surely that's more of a worry? And if tons of food is arriving from Australia surely it would hurt the EU producers we would import from Australia the extra we need rather than the EU. Makes sense that if the Australian stuff is cheaper we stop buying the EU stuff. So if anybody should be concerned it should be the French and the Dutch farmers. Anyway, only a small amount of food will come, we need to order it first and then they need to produce it and that will take years maybe decades before it reaches any kind of volume, if ever. The US, UK, India Japan China and the EU is about 80% of the world's economy so that means the remaining 20% split between 160 countries each of the remaining countries shares are going to be awfully small. Size is not relevant, look at Singapore or the UAE, incredibly wealthy, a natural resource or a strategic position or a business friendly trade policy are all factors as are a reliable and strong currency and reliable legal system. Size is just one factor among many.

  117.  @georgealchemist  And yet they can't agree a budget and the talks have collapsed. Doesn't appear that great from here. Could you define "not expensive"?

  118.  @georgealchemist  Because it's an evil self serving bureaucracy interested only in protecting the lives of the technocrats that run it, it serves no purpose, and due to its structure is very dangerous. You did not elect the leaders and you can't remove them and they have enormous power. That's very dangerous. Give them an army as they want and you could find yourselves at war very quickly. I really don;t want that for my European friends.

  119.  @georgealchemist  I don't think you have been paying attention... Take off the rose coloured glasses for your own good. The EU will trample all over you and you have no say in who runs it.

  120.  @georgealchemist  I'm only thinking of you and the citizens. Don't be fooled by these charlatans. You'll see in time my friend, the sooner you start looking the easier it will be to wake up. Who voted for von der Leyen? Did you know who she was? How can you get rids of her if she is doing a bad job? She has almost all the power, she was chosen by Tusk and Merkel, and the next leader will be chosen by the "right " people too, is that what you want? Your leaders chosen by some unelected committee? Good luck if it is, that never works out well.

  121.  @georgealchemist  "Nice woman"? Is that what you want from a leader? And you are quite content that she was chosen for you? Well you deserve everything you get if that's your attitude.

  122.  @georgealchemist  Thanks I speak German. Just watch it, they have control of the money, next they will take over the taxes from the member states, watch it... Then they will have a police force, then an Army, and then a Secret Police.... It will happen little step but by little step. Fortunately we will be watching.

  123.  @BernasLL  But she beat the other guy in the election for President... You know what was the name again?? It was a great invigorating campaign she really rallied all the voters behind her. Oh yeah actually she was the only candidate and nobody voted for her. It's such a great democratic system.

  125. Best way to solve this is just dismantle the whole scam. By that I mean the EU, it's useless anyway, it's destroying Europe, might as well get rid of it as soon as possible.
