I don't think so. He is uncritical of the EU Commission and its abysmal behaviour, as seen most recently this last week with 'the leak' and Juncker's insistence that EU nationals be pawns in the negotiation. Not to mention the cynical insertion of Irish unification into the negotiation.That's a little unfair, Paul. We all want the best for the UK. Unfortunately we all appear to have slightly different views on what that means.
This is legislation that passed onto the books without scrutiny and as a legal obligation.Other information about if you look. 40 years worth of legislation that can be dropped or changed without parliamentary scrutiny.
I enjoyed one commentator's description of May's performance today- as "talking loudly and carrying a small stick".
OTT. UK is not a small stick. Its the 2nd biggest stick in the bag. Problem is, she relies on this and not diplomatic skills, skills that she should have in her role.
I cannot see why anyone would sabre rattle like this and piss people off. And do it through the press.
She needs taking out.
Excellent point- we were one of the biggest players in the EEC/EU for decades, equal negotiating rates, the ability to steer the agenda through powerful diplomacy. We walk out and now express complete surprise that it's turned out this way. If May welches on her financial obligations to the EU, as some in the Tory Party are advocating, it's going to damage us further down the line.
That is what happens when you tell 27 countries which thought we were all fairly friendly to pi55 off.

Scanned Wiki 's Nazi propaganda page, which is very long, and couldn't find the exact phrase. They used the word strong a lot, but not stable. Perhaps this isn't surprising. My original post has now been deleted..

You were right Jack
"Germanys economy was in such a poor state that Hitlers promise of strong government and stability was widely supported and not least by industrialists"
Translation of the May/Junker standoff article. Well worth reading.

On British side May was joined by Brexit Minister David Davis. Davis drew the visitors attention that evening by repeatedly boasting [three times] about having successfully sued the European Court of Justice over British data retention. Back then he had been a Conservative backbencher, while Theresa May had been Home Secretary at the time and responsible for the law in question. It is possible that Davis thought the several hints would provide a good icebreaker. His boss however seemed rather un-amused by his effort.
I was wondering yesterday morning if the urgent Palace announcement was that the Queen was taking back control

Thanks- good to read the original piece translated.
...t Juncker, his puppetmeister Selmayr, and their entourage of unelected tin-pot dictators and jumped-up clerks, as needs to be said.
