EU back to the future? 10:53pm on 23 Nov 2009 Austrian Radio website reports outrage in the international press.

"Weakest pair possible."

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet: "Herman van Who? No, in principle nobody outside of Belgium has ever heard of him." And: "Europe wants to carry on talking to itself instead of being heard."

Austrian newspaper "Standard": The worst possible result has been achieved. Van Rompuy and Ashton:"weakest duo in the new EU-jobs." You couldn't have found a more unimpressive president. Ashton has never done foreign policy. She was only voted in because she is British, a Social Democrat and a woman. Together with Barrosso, the the leadership of gthe EU is a "a harmless troupe of grey mice" etc.

Another Austrian newspaper and Spanish,French,Italian, Hungarian and Swiss newspapers made similar comments.

Austrian M"EP"s were also quaoted as making highly critical comments.

Daniel Cohn-Bendit: The EU has reached a low point.

The Independent: "Less transparent than the Vatican." (Remember I am translating from German something which was originally written in English, so my words may not be exactly those of the Independent.)

SB2: Remember that some of these people are pro-"EU" and are sounding like "Eurosceptics."
EU back to the future? 10:24pm on 23 Nov 2009 Austrian Radio website reports that Van Rompuy twice turned downt the "President's" job because he felt he did not have enough support amongst the 27 leaders.

SB2: How much support does he have amongst the people. Is he not concerned about that?
EU back to the future? 10:19pm on 23 Nov 2009 Austrian Radio Website reports:

"EU"-Parliament wanted that Ashton should only get the job after a hearing at said institution which is intended to take place in January. But no, the "EU-Commission" insists that she starts on December first.

"Streamlining of the decision making process" = Dictatorship.

"EU"-Speak = An Amazon of Bullproduct.

" ...

On the never ending referendum-whinge: does anybody out there realize you can not unratify a ratified treaty? ..."

SB2: What we definitely can do is to be as difficult and destructive as possible.

" ... Europhobe community ... if you still want your referendum, then push for the only referendum that still makes sense under the current conditions, ie whether or not the UK should remain as a member of the EU..."

SB2: I woluld love to have thqat referendum.

'... a recent quote from the Chief Justice of the Californian Supreme Court: "the practice of referenda is making the whole State ungovernable". Does any one really think that observation only holds for California? '

SB2:It certainly does not hold for Switzerland which seems to be the best country in the world.
Europe's hour of decision 11:32pm on 16 Nov 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8363264.stm

"The only woman who has been formally nominated so far is former Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga.

Known as the Iron Lady, she has attacked EU leaders for taking decisions behind closed doors and working, as she put it, like the Soviet Union. "

SB2: Well, she told the truth! That puts her out of the running! We don't want disgraceful people like that running "Europe!"

"threnodio @132 (with credit to democracythreat!)

Therein lies the fundamental flaw in the view ... that all the ills of the United Kingdom can be lain at the doorstep of membera EU."

SB2: That is not my claim and I know of nobody who claims that. I am too busy at the moment to spend as much time on rebuttals as I would like.

My claim is that the UK needs to change. It can change more easily once it is outside the "EU", I think.

We already kno0w enough. They are taken undemocratically and with complete and utter contempt for the "citizens of the EU".

The "EU" is ultimately fascist and it is at least conceivable that it will only be able to keep itself together by fascist policing and by the fascist use of its armed forces.

I am too busy at the moment to reply to that in full. I have explained that at length in previous postings. Feel free to look them up.

' Among the conditions set by the European Parliament for funding pan-European political parties is a clause saying they "must observe the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law". '

Hilarious!!

So the "EU" - "parliament" presumably thinks it has the right to ban any group for being undemocratic whilst it itself and the whole "EU"-rubbish deserves to be thrown into the dustbin of history because it is undemocratic and has ignored the promises given to the British people about a referendum and the wishes of people in other countries to have a referendum.

" ... My considered opinion, and this is not name calling, is that there must be something sinister/distorted in the mainstream thinking/values - call it what you want - of a country that is the only one, out of 30 European countries, that refuses to participate in the 'open-borders' Europe and, also, refuses to abide by the *true* EU principle of freedom of movement ..."

As far as I am aware, many continental Europeans do not want this either. They only have if because representative democracy isn't working.

As for 'the "true " EU principle of freedom of movement' I have no respect for it because I do not want to be in the "EU" anyway.

The 'principles of the "EU" ' are of no interest to me. I never signed up for them. I have been denied the opportunity to show my contempt for them in a referendum that I was promised, that I want, that the majority of the British people want and that I DEMAND.
