Toynbee (on Kendall) "She’s a “moderniser”, but calls for “reform” may seem a little otiose by 2020 if few services remain in the public realm."
What a pile of cr*p "by 2020 if few services remain in the public realm". What massive privatisations of public services are underway? If there were I would welcome it. This is just an exBBC leftie hack scaremongering.
You live and learn.. I thought I was pretty good at English but otiose is a word I have never come across.
Daily Telegraph . "Greek debt crisis: hopes of a deal in next 48 hours as Tsipras must sell the plan at home - live A glimmer of hope as EU leaders aim to finalise deal by Thursday which includes plans to hike taxes and reform pensions."
Doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result.....?
Meanwhile across the channel Also from the Daily Telegraph...
"France must provoke 'diplomatic incident' with UK over migrants, says Calais mayor"
"Calais mayor Natacha Bouchart calls on French government to spark "diplomatic incident" with UK over migrant crisis, saying Britain must either adopte Schengen border rules or "leave" the EU."
The French want to move their problem because they agree to Schengen onto us who do not. No thought of why these people are on French soil, in a safe country and can claim asylum. No sireee !! It is the entire fault of the " Ros Beefs " just move them on to the UK because we the French have such crap border controls.
The EU and the Euro is just insanity.
For reasons I will never understand some people on here seem to love the EU.
They must hate democracy.
Not at all. Every country in the EU is a democracy, and the trend over time is for the democratic structures in the EU to become stronger. There is always some tension in balancing the will of the majority against minority rights and protections.
We shall shortly see whether the democratically expressed wish of the UK voter is to remain in the EU.
Hang on. You are the one who has been complaining about the Referendum and saying this should have been decided by Parliament. Of course there is a strong suspicion that if it had looked at all likely Parliament would have voted for us to leave you would be moaning about how it should not be allowed without a referendum.
I think Referenda are poor ways of making decisions on complex issues, but if we are to have one will tespect the result.
That's only credible if the election is free and fair, which the government is doing its best to avoid. You can't have the taxpayer fund one side in a referendum, and then expect the other side to accept a defeat as legitimate.
Getting your excuses in early?
Not an excuse at all, as I'm undecided. It says something about this forum that people can never accept someone is expressing their honest view, even on something as simple as democracy.
Perhaps you could tell me whether you believe the taxpayer should be funding one side in elections?
I don't think we do really want Corbyn to win. Whilst it would be quite funny, he probably would not last until 2020 and they might find someone better by then.

Surely, we want Corbyn to win?
