who wrote the article, please?
Let me quote Lord John Hope with his extracts on the Bilderberg conference in 1958 on your remark "The democratic deficit in Europe's institutions is hardly new".
He once wrote: "Everyone recognised that the weakness of a democracy was that its government had to do broadly what the people wanted it to do."
This damned democratic process always hindering us from doing our business. However, let's find a remote place with a cozy atmosphere for our friends, how about Brussels ?
To the pro-EU people saying ugly things about how they wish Britain would get out of the EU: don't.
I wish Britain remains in the EU and I am not impressed with Britain's official attitude, or with British anti-EU commentators here, during these dangerous days for Europe. But in or out, the British people are our friends. And so are the Americans.
Nazis, Islamist fanatics, doom-wishers, Stalinists and other haters, those are our enemies. But not the Brits and Yanks. So tell them truths and give it to them straight. But without the spite. And don't forget that the majority of Britons and Americans will congratulate us, share our relief and celebrate with us when we finally put a boot in the a** of this crisis. As indeed we will.
(Sorry, I was listening to "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.")
OK. Good points. Hopeless though.
I have no idea what the writer of this article is babbling on about trying patheticly to bestow a measure of 'democratic legitimacy' upon the EU, but its a failure.
The reality is quite simple. There is no such thing as 'the European people' so by extention there is no such thing as 'European democracy'. Meaning that the EU = 100% undemocratic. Every power transfer to the EU is thus by definition undemocratic no matter how many times the politicians who did it were elected.
The old Soviet Union had the same problem. Yugoslavia to mention another. They had periodic elections yet neither was ever democratic. Lack of demos = lack of democracy.
'I'm real sick of all those boffins who keep repeating, in that oh so suave, purse-lipped tone the Foreign Office uses to lecture anybody East of Dover, that the EU's one and only purpose always was to be a free trade area, period.' [Dominique II]
Like it or loathe it, free trade has distinct advantages. This is something recognised by the 300,000 to 400,000 French people who live in London, which – curiously enough – makes London France's sixth biggest city. (The figure is provided by the French consulate and so ought to be reliable.)
These, often young, talented, and venturesome folk are a credit to France. That conservative, protectionist, self-deluding France doesn't deserve them seems like a reasonable assessment in the circumstances. Please don't misunderstand me: London is certainly not a land of milk and honey; but it does at least give young people with the wrong address, name, or skin-colour an opportunity in many instances.
Neither am I trying to suggest that neoliberalism and free-trade are easy panaceas. What I do suggest is that French wrong-headedness has produced a 'société bloquée', whence these youngsters have fled; I suggest also that France's constantly high unemployment rate in a damning indictment of complacent 'Republican values'. Perhaps a more attentive, er..., humble attitude to well-meant lectures would be in order?
II like and need free trade like I like and need sunlight, just staying on the safe side of sunburn. My point was not about the desirability of free trade, but about its ranking in the EEC/EU project. However we seem not to really differ on that.
"These, often young, talented, and venturesome folk are a credit to France. That conservative, protectionist, self-deluding France doesn't deserve them seems like a reasonable assessment in the circumstances."
I'm sure France, not being some supernatural beings' Olymp, is all of the above. But you also have to bear in mind that a great many of these people, including mathematicians straight out of our educational system (you know, the one which Shanghai never heard about), go there because they are well suited to the London financial hub. And that hub is in London not only because of the UK being progressive and clear-sighted, but also because of its unique localization, enabling it to link in real time with the American and Asian stock exchanges.

[Dominique II]
May I suggest that your words above indicate a wafer-thin understanding of the many and varied activities which London enables them to exercise. Last week's 'Envoyé Spécial', for instance, featured a French taxi-driver who had got through the 'knowledge' without acquiring an excess of accurate pronunciation; and a graduate working as a barman while awaiting a chance to break into the world of high finance. But most emphatically don't spend their time devising crazy algorithms.
Here are the sorts of things these folk say:
'I came to London from Paris straight after graduating from art school, just to have a look - that was seven years ago' – 'With a new venture in Paris you always think first of what is going to go wrong. I find the system much easier here - you don't have so many rules and so much paperwork' - Marine Schepens, who works for a fashionable advertising agency, says UK companies are more prepared to give young people a chance because it is easier to terminate their contracts than in France – 'I changed careers a year ago but I would have never done that if I was still in France. I'd have thought, 'I'm so lucky to have a job - I must hang on to it.'' – 'If you want security and nice holidays you stay in France. If you crave adventure and want to get new skills, you come here' – 'Life in France was easy. You know, good food and wine. I lived near the sea and not far from the ski slopes. And sometimes when London's grey and rainy I think, 'What on earth am I doing here?' – 'It's like my eyes opened up when I came here - I think the American dream is also present here in the UK' – 'Because of your name you will be discriminated against, because of your skin colour, and even the address on your CV can stop you from getting a job. As for your skills and competencies - none of that counts in France if you don't fit in the box - so I left' – 'France is really struggling to create jobs and things have got worse because some people are saying the whites should come first' – 'I was really pushed by my teachers here. Suddenly I realised I could actually become somebody here, be ambitious.'
OK so they're not all traders (which I suspected). Hope they are as smart as traders.
Good ole France...
PS I notice from those testimonies a lot of those guys are coloured or whatever, and unhappy about discrimination in France. Yes this is a shame. OT but a shame and stupid to boot.
Your free market as sunburn metaphor is quite right wing by French standards. I thought the free market was a jungle or a wild animal in France.
Maybe you don't know France too well. You're in good company, obviously.
The Pew Global Report 2012 ascribes a 58% level of support to free markets in France. Yessir.
And don't count the French right wing in those 58%, it fumes daily against free markets. The most tolerant of the beast (not out of love but because they know it's useful and can be tamed) are the Socialists. (oh, the UMP professes to be too, but their true love goes to juicy monopolies and cronyism).
We simply know there always can be too much of a good thing. Any good thing. Markets on a stampede can indeed be disruptive and inefficient. When we dare say that, the High Priests of the Holy Invisible Hand mark us for the pyre. Just don't believe everything they say...
Portugal's parliament has already approved the fiscal compact.
The Economist: "David Cameron's 'veto' of the fiscal compact in December 2011 was seen as a petulant obstacle to progress by many of his fellow heads of government; his party's supporters in Britain greeted it with inordinate enthusiasm".
This exactly is Britain's identity dilemma. Being an island is part of her dilemma.
Being an island is her distinction.
Being an island was Britain's geographical destiny.
She had developed her navy from early on and had founded politically and economically `white' colonies (in my opinion Britain's greatest achievement among the European nations).
Using the sea as a major means for travel and transportation also developed mercantile prosperity which helped her to industrialize first. Always in history Britain looked outwards over the ocean rather than across the Channel to the continent.
However, with the diminishing role of ship-travel and with the opening of new opportunities for the former colonies, the Commonwealth lost economic interest in Britain (yes, not the other way around). This is why Britain increasingly had to look to the continent to find new markets and chances to grow.
As Britain's answer to the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), she established EFTA on May 3, 1960, as a trade bloc-alternative for European states that were either unable or unwilling to join the EEC's early (1957) Treaty of Rome.
However, the EFTA started to fail in its principal objects and many people in Britain, especially her elites, were tempted to regard it as a 'blind alley'. Instead, Britain's economic problems grew and heir independent influence in the world declined.
Britain found herself outside a highly successful economic grouping, while British industry was far from happy to see from 'outside' its French and German rivals progressively securing duty-free access to each other's markets.
Moreover, the EFTA countries were not even the most important customers or suppliers of Britain. Exports to EFTA were 13.5 per cent of total value, while it was 19.9 per cent to the EEC; imports were 12.5 per cent against 19.6 per cent.
And even more important: America was faced with a weakening Britain on one side and a thriving Community of 170 million people on the other. America saw herself bound to make the EEC her primary partner of Atlantic policies. This was when USA began pushing Britain to join the Europe of Six (in the hope that she'll become kind of spokesman vis-à-vis Washington, rather than continuing a fading Anglo-American relationship).
With the Financial Times leading the way April 1960, the Guardian, the Observer and The Times followed shortly, in creating a British mood of pro-Europeanism which was, proving the power of media, rapidly building up.
With support from President Kennedy, Britain's first application to the EEC was submitted on August 9, 1961, yet De Gaulle's vetoed the British application in 1963. He believed that, if admitted, Britain would act as the US Trojan Horse within the Communities (whatever this was supposed to mean).
From my point of view, De Gaulle's fears played a major role that British membership would balk his ambition to become the leader of Europe, after all the U.K. was a 'victorious' WW II power as well. Up to that point the Germans needed De Gaulle to regain their lost reputation. Thus, Britain's second application to join the EEC was vetoed by De Gaulle once more in 1967 on same grounds as the first.
In 1969 former Prime Minister Georges Pompidou was elected as the new French President. The EEC ministerial meeting at Hague in 1969 agreed to open the EEC to more members. However, The British Government was unsure about the French attitude. In a summit in May 1971, Heath and Pompidou struck up a good working relationship and just about a month later Britain was courageous enough to apply again.
And here was the Crux the EU as well as the U.K. are suffering from up to this day: Edward Heath saw this as a 'golden opportunity' in a small 'window of opportunity'. Therefore, he decided to enter through the opened door as quickly as possible, solving any difficulties that remained later from inside.
Here was the big bait: Throughout the 19th century, London served as the world's primary business center, a role which dramatically deteriorated with disintegration of the Commonwealth. An analysis commissioned by the Heath government unmistakably verified that EEC membership could give back the role to The City it had lost with the de facto dissolution of the Commonwealth. This was the main reason why the U.K. was the first to leave EFTA in 1973 to join the EEC.
Today, her financial services sector accounts for 11% of the U.K.'s total national income (up from 3.8% before the U.K. joined the EEC). Approx 82% of the U.K.'s 'foreign' financial transactions take place within the E.U.
No wonder that Great Britain's financial 'elites' have a different opinion about E.U. membership than "the man on the street".
Britain invited Portugal to join EFTA in the 60s and then ABANDONED PORTUGAL IN EFTA - WITH THE FOLLOWING POWERHOUSES:
- Switzerland
- Norway
- Liechtenstein
- San Marino(?)
Then Thatcher was all over Portugal to see it join the EEC.
Nowadays we're talked about in the British press as a fine example on how joining the EEC is a bad thing for the sovereignty of nations.
Well what can we say but, thanks a lot.
-:) Well, what can we say but quite inconsistent those Brits, LOL!
The democratic deficit is an increasingly pressing issue. We are going to beat the debt crisis. But we do not want to pursue increasing integration under an anonymous bureaucratic regime. There are many interesting ideas in the article but I favor a parliamentary approach to democracy, and for several reasons. A president unanswerable to parliament, including to representatives from the home country of each European, may be seen as a foreign "emperor" "lording it over Europe." Parliamentary democracy also has the advantage that an incompetent leader is easier to remove and is reminded of his or her status as a *servant*, not master, by answering on a daily basis to several hundred collective bosses in parliament at whose pleasure he serves. But for now I think the really important issue is to start the debate on democratic reform of the EU before the crisis subsides - which will of course be some time in the coming - and the EU returns to its opaque "business as usual." Because the old faceless bureacracy has failed. I do not agree with the Euroskeptics but they raise very important issues on the subject of democratic legitimacy.
The Euro Zone does not need more political integration, it needs disintegration, a split in two parts. It should be possible for countries to apply for each monetary union depending on competitiveness as well as fiscal and monetary preferences, and there should be proper rules which enable relatively smooth currency changes as well as state insolvency procedures with automatic "hair cuts" and European rescue fonds which would get bank shares.
Let's call one union the cheese union (HQ in Paris with an always busy printing press) and the other one the gold union (HQ Frankfurt). That doesn't necessarily mean that there would be a north-south-devide, rather a cheese-rich or cheese-successful devide. The companies in the gold union would sell high quality products to the world, the ones in the cheese union would deliver cheap precursors and spare parts for these products, based on the standards of the companies in the gold union which would own the cheese union companies since they could buy them for cheap money after several devaluations.
Direct Europe wide elections?
Can someone explain why/how I should vote for someone who doesn't speak the same language as me?
European Parliament?
Why should I vote for an institution that doesn't even know if it's located in Brussels or Strasbourg - and needs a hugely expensive building in both cities.
I'm sorry but the debate no longer concerns how we should vote for the "European elite". The debate now is how they can be made to pay personally for the wilful damage they have caused.
The EU Parliament has become irrelevant because every time it has attempted to bring about federal initiatives that that advance the common interest of the majority of the population, they have been thwarted by the Commission and the States. Based on which, it is not surprising that voters distract from a powerless chamber that is little more than an agreeable "representative" club. The will of the people should not be merely "represented, it should be carried out. It is a shame that the EU Parliament has been denied the right of initiating its own laws, and that national governments hide this obvious democratic deficit to their citizens when they hypocritically regret the "powerlessness" of Parliament.
The EU Parliament is not even representative, because a citizen from Luxembourg carries 10 times more weight than a citizen of France, Germany or the UK. That is the first point of the German constitutional court, and an absolutely valid one.
The second point of the court is spurious: it claims that the Parliament should be a purely representative body, whose task is just to be there and not to carry out its will. That's why the court claims that minimum thresholds in its proportional election should be scrapped. These thresholds exist in all countries (eg 5% for the Bundestag or 3% for the Knesset) in order to ensure that majorities can be formed so that their will can be carried out, so that the people can be effectively governed. But the court considers thatthe Parliament is not there to carry out the will of the people. This is a hopelessl circular reasoning.
On the contrary, the rule should be to hold proportional elections in one single paneuropean district, while reserving a few seats so that small countries could have a minimal representation. These exceptions are perfectly democratic and can be found in all countries that have small ethnic minorities, such as Hungarians in Slovenia or Danes in Schleswig-Holstein. Alternatively, one could continue to consider each country as a mere electoral district; but in this case, we should absolutely scrap the idea of degressive proportionality and on the contrary strive for an equal average number of citizens backing each MP.
Directly electing the EU President INSTEAD of strengthening and legitimizing the EU Parliament would be stupid. Indeed that EU President would soon become a powerless symbol, like the EU Parliament is today, because the States will be tend to thwart the legislative initiatives of this potentially overbearing rival.
Good post, good thoughts.
Good article. Some things missing but overall a good romp for those that don't understand the tyranny of Europe masquerading as democracy.
Sorry I couldn't resist the jab :-)
"To those who claim that there is no European demos to underpin such democracy, he argues that a Europe-wide election will itself create one."
I am not sure about the logic of the professor. An election could just generate more tribalism. If the Eurozone get a president who hardly anybody in say Spain voted for, how is that creating a demos?
Because the majority unite in accepting him and the minorities must unite in order to reject him. Since the minorities can't unite, the majority can pursue its integrationist agenda unhindered. Of course it would be necessary that, to be elected, the President would need to gather an absolute majority, not a relative majority.
The French will never feel represented by a German president.
Now replace any other two countries for Germany and France...
Of course the French would (not to mention the Germans). The French just don't stand UNELECTED bureaucrats telling them what to do "in the interest of Europe". The French are pro-European democrats. If they now that a democratic Europe can have a social agenda (which it could have if it were truly democratic), then they would overwhelmingly vote in favour of Europe. Not like other countries.
"The French will never feel represented by a German president"
You French?
Personally I can't make a choice between a live German (Daniel Cohn-Bendit) and a dead one with a proven record of federation building and welfare state creation and implementation. Both would be termed clueless leftists by the TE crowd; the latter was called Bismarck.
That reasoning didn't work in the Soviet Union, no matter how many elections they had.
The solution is quite simple: we need a new treary with greater democratic legitimacy and greater centralism. Centralism is only undemocratic when it is not controled democratically. I do not see how a centralistic democracy such as Britain could argue against that: there is no decentralized feudalism left in Britain since the house of lords was established, and British democratization has not been about strengthening the powers of the house of lords but those of the house of commons. Likewise, democratization in Germany has been about increasing the powers of a democratically elected house (eg 1 man = 1 vote) rather than those of a house of feudal appointees (the Bundesrat, and before that the house of the Reich, and even before the Bund; in Prussia, it has been about reducing the inequalities of the house elected by census, eg where votes were proportional to richess).
Hence, a new treaty is needed. Britain will oppose it. Little Nordic countries, Britain's former allies from its previous competing customs union, might also oppose it. Little eastern european countries might be less categoric. The treaty must form a political democratic union with those in favour of it. Those who oppose it must be rejected from the EU and offered a customs union with it. That would certainly suit British voters, if not its diplomatic elite, who has been resolutely intent on destroying the EU from within for the past 30 years.
Simple to argue against it. We do not want to be part of wider European democracy, not matter how accountable it is to its electorate. We want to reclaim the right in these islands to govern ourselves, and not be part of a Pan European Superstate. We'd be quite happy to leave. And I cannot agree with your comments about the British diplomatic elite. They have fought shy of giving us a referendum on our membership, because the resounding vote to leave that would inevitably result, is parked in the "too difficult" box by the politicians. One day they will smell the coffee and give us a vote on this, we will leave, and the rest of the continent can integrate to its heart's content
Britain has been trying to decentralize powers for years, the creation of Scottish parliament and the Welsh and N.Irish assemblies (and a likely English parliament in the future).
What exactly do european citizens gain from an overly large european government where their voice is drowned out.
It is also ignoring the realities of European politics, we cannot deny the existence of fascist and communist tendencies in certain places. Sovereign nations act as a check and balance on other nations just as much as the internal ones.
A federal Europe is nothing but an ego trip for politicians who want more power. In fact I would liken it close to a God complex, thinking you know what is best for each citizen of Europe rather than let them choose for themselves. The undeniable nature of humans makes such large powerful organizations dangerous, we may have moderates now but who is to say that shall always remain.
I hate bringing this up but '1982' is a situation that never be dismissed
Excellent! I will crack a bottle of champagne the day your islands leave the EU!!
And we can keep merily trading with you in a customs union, if you want (unless you would prefer to be slapped with tariffs). And you can freely trade as much as you want with the BRICs, the US or whoever.
Your elite has manipulated you and stoked your euro-skeptic sentiment in order to serve its own purpose, which is and has always been for the last 500 years to divide this continent in order to prevent the rise of a continental hegemony (Hapsburg Spain, France, Germany, Russia, EU,...). I am glad that this is an untenable position.
I hope that the EU will not take any more care of your elite, as it mistakenly let Blair water down its constitution in 2001, and push your people to a yes or no vote on membership in, indeed, a democratic superstate.
British euroskepticism has actually risen despite the British elite's claim of "canalizing" it. German opposition to bailouts has actually risen despite Merkel's claim of "addressing" it. France's xenophobia has actually risen despite Sarkozy's claim of "stopping Schengen". The Austrian FPÖ has actually gained popularity despite the conservatives' claim of canalizing it. Etc etc.
Returning powers to the states or claiming to uphold the principle of subsidiarity to do so (as is the case in Switzerland, on a canton-federation level), although subsidiarity was created as an ex post justification of the EU's increasing powers, will only lead to a weakening of the EU's institutions, which are and must be central, and to a weakening of the EU itself.
Every state or political construction can be construed as an ego trip for politicians. Your simplest local administration is a also an ego trip. Every political construction is potentially dangerous unless it is controled by its citizens. And if you fear the passions of the masses, let me remind you that most constructions, including the EU, are bi-cameral.
The day we leave I will metaphorically share the Champagne with you! No one is stoking euro skeptic sentiment; it is not needed, as we only have to look at the rudderless ship SS Eurozone for our inspiration!
It's a long way to Tipperary....
That's exactly what Federalist offered you: get out, and enjoy a customs union - but without the ability to be the spanner in the works you HAVE been all those years.
As for the "we" you use so liberally, maybe a vote would be needed to validate it.
A vote would be most welcome, I would estimate 80% here would vote to leave. Please help us persuade our politicians to let us vote! We have no reason to be scared of a vote. Bye bye sinking Euro!
"the rudderless ship SS Eurozone"
That is rich. But for systematic British sabotage and obstruction, we would have had a rudder and engines long ago... not on the Eurozone but where it counts, on the EU.
Forgive my bitterness, but there was a time when I welcomed the UK in the EEC, and resented De Gaulle's opposition. I thought Europe could not be Europe without the UK. That is still true... but the UK has proven to be a cancer for Europe.
I'd gladly help! Unfortunately your prime minister seems to concede referendums only when he's sure of winning...
How about trying to squeeze that into the Tories' platform and getting his political future more intertwined with organizing one? Or getting him to believe a referendum would be a great "trick" to embarrass the Lib Dems, paint Labour as socialist eurocrats and restore the Tories hegemony? Not to mention another massive argument: it could be a "diversion" from the spending cuts! By the way, how did he do in the polls after he had s****d the december summit, not too bad I hope?
The Prime Minister's current travails are nothing to do with the treaty veto. I seem to remember that the right of veto is enshrined in EU legislation. The EU on the other hand seems to ignore referenda results it doesn't like and make countries vote again. Ho hum. This debate is about democratic deficit, and this would seem to be the prime example within the EU. I suppose from your viewpoint the population of Ireland The Netherlands and France S*******d the EU when they voted no on the constitution.
I have no problem with macro-economic policy being ruled by unelected technocrats. Let voters vote for how the money in the (balanced) budget is spent. Some things are too important to be left to voters, who are easily bought or swayed by ridiculous bribes offered by politicians. For me, macro-economic policy is like air traffic control: keep it out of politicians' hands.
'Yes please, and then scram, and allow us, the EU's founding peoples, to go on with our original goal, which was NOT a mere trade free-for-all.' [Dominique II]
That is indeed the so sad truth. And who can deny that France was unstinting in her contributions to the euro fiasco? The fiasc-euro?
The crisis in the eurozone is the result of France's persistent pursuit of the "European project". Monnet and Schuman argued that a political union similar to America's would prevent the types of conflict that had caused three major European wars – an appealing idea, but one that overlooked America's horrific Civil War. A European political union could also make Europe a power comparable to the United States, and thereby give France, with its sophisticated foreign service, an important role in European and world affairs.
The 1956 Treaty of Rome established a small free-trade area that was later expanded to form the European Economic Community. Establishing the EEC had favourable economic effects, but did not reduce national identification or create a sense of political unity.
The influential report "One market, one money," issued in 1990 under the leadership of the former French Finance Minister Jacques Delors, called for the creation of a single currency, relying on the specious argument that the single market could not function well otherwise.
Germany resisted the euro, arguing that full political union should come first but eventually agreed to the creation of the euro only when French President François Mitterrand made it a condition of France's support for German reunification.
Under pressure from France, the Maastricht Treaty's requirement that countries could introduce the euro only if their national debt was less than 60% of GDP was relaxed in order to admit countries that were seen to be "evolving" toward that goal. That modification allowed Greece, Spain, and Italy to be admitted.
The pro-euro politicians ignored economists' warnings that imposing a single currency on a dozen heterogeneous countries was bound to create serious economic problems. They regarded the economic risks as unimportant relative to their agenda of political unification.
But the creation of the euro caused a sharp fall in interest rates in the peripheral countries, leading to debt-financed housing bubbles and encouraging their governments to borrow to finance increased government spending.
That ended in 2010, after Greece admitted that it had lied about its budget deficits and debt. Financial markets responded by demanding much higher rates on the bonds of countries with high government debt ratios and banking systems weakened by excessive mortgage debt.
It is already clear that the EU's recently agreed "fiscal compact" will not constrain budget deficits or reduce national debts. French President François Hollande has proposed balancing deficit limits with growth initiatives, just as France had earlier forced the EU's Stability Pact to become the Stability and Growth Pact.
The European project has clearly failed to achieve what French political leaders have wanted from the beginning. And, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel setting conditions for the eurozone, France's ambition to dominate European policy has been thwarted. Even if most eurozone countries retain the single currency, it will be because abandoning the euro would be financially painful.
"our original goal, which was NOT a mere trade free-for-all. (...) That is indeed the so sad truth."
Sad or not, many thanks for acknowledging it.
I'm real sick of all those boffins who keep repeating, in that oh so suave, purse-lipped tone the Foreign Office uses to lecture anybody East of Dover, that the EU's one and only purpose always was to be a free trade area, period.
Truth is, the EU's real objective has been hijacked and scuttled by the usual suspects, and its current dismal performance is that of the wreck you turned it into, on purpose.
Oh dear Dominique II. I do detect a touch of sour grapes in your posts to this website. I fear you need a reality check.
'I'm real sick of all those boffins who keep repeating, in that oh so suave, purse-lipped tone the Foreign Office uses to lecture anybody East of Dover, that the EU's one and only purpose always was to be a free trade area, period.' [Dominique II]
My inspiration and source is a professor at Harvard. So much for your: 'those boffins who keep repeating, in that oh so suave, purse-lipped tone the Foreign Office uses to lecture anybody East of Dover'!
Your words, 'anybody East of Dover' suggest a commonality of sentiment in Europe which exists in the fond imaginings and 'pensée unique' [aka, narrow-mindedness] of a certain Paris elite.
I suggest to you, Dominique II, in most respects the European Union has been a bit of a balls-up and embarrassment. Free-trade is the saving grace.
I note that you chose to dodge the many, many points I made, preferring to extemporise on imagined slights inflicted upon Marianne by the 'suave' and 'purse-lipped' Brit diplomat. Who wasn't.
I fear you need to look up the meaning of "sour grapes".
It means, feigned disdain for an unattainable good or goal.
What you meant is "sourness". English's beauty is in its terseness, keep it that way.
My personal sourness stems from the fact that, when (much) younger, I was so happy to see the UK joint the EEC project. Europe cannot be deemed complete without Britain.
So you might say I have a feeling of betrayal, and therefore resentment. You left family, stay out. Enjoy the greener pastures and the special relationship. btw how are the F35s? any news on those catapults, landing hooks etc? got those software upgrades yet?
Harvard? Boffin. Almost bulls eye. Accents are pretty much the same across the old boys network.
Your many points are spot on regarding the EU's failures and weaknesses. And yes, France has to take its share of responsibility, since it was in the driver's seat. Hubris and short-sightedness are well spread among our pols. But the UK could have shared the driver's seat. It would have been welcome. Not our fault it was only interested in manning the brakes.
Free-trade is the saving grace? Yes and no: it is one benefit which was spared, among many others which were squandered. Making it the central and final goal was not only a distortion of the EEC/EU's purpose, as you gamely concurred, but self-defeating: peoples on the Continent are not that happy at the idea of being open to competition without a regulating structure to oversee it, and I predict that the crumbling of the Eurozone will signal the slow-motion explosion of the single market.
Get ready for the smug smile of the customs officer as he rummages through your socks.
The EU tried to walk before it could run: first, a free-trade area and then a closer political association. In that order, with a pause to assess the situation. Not diving in at the deep-end with predictable results.
In both France's position is hypocritical: she nods in the direction of free-trade while body-checking competition; and she is prepared to accept closer political ties with one little proviso... the (neo-Gaullist) French presidency be the de facto EU head honcho.
Nothing sour about it. There is no unattainable goal. Your happiness was, and is, misguided. We are a sovereign nation. If we want, and vote to leave the EU, it is our business. it is called self determination by the will of the people. Why should you feel sour about it? No more than I feel would feel sour about countries wanting to stay in the Eurozone or the wider EU. Oh, and by the way changing the subject with puerile jibes to goad your opponent in a debate is quite pathetic. I was hoping that people who posted on here might be a little more mature
"The EU tried to walk before it could run: first, a free-trade area and then a closer political association."
Completely agree, that was the compact.
"a pause to assess the situation"
Why then the chorus of "let's stop at free trade and be content"? That kind of assessment is ... skewed, to be polite.
"body-checking competition" A colloquialism I'm not familiar with. We're not innocent of some protection measures... but nobody is... remember Germany's Reinheitsgebot? On the whole we were reliable free trade parters.
"one little proviso... the (neo-Gaullist) French presidency be the de facto EU head honcho"
Pols thrive on power like flowers on sunlight. So fight it out. The French have no problem with the EU presidency being held by a watered down Flemish nationalist, or the EU Foreign Affaits being undermismanaged by an universally despised Brit chinless wonder; a man of vision at the head of the EU would be cheered whatever his passport.
If you can't see the link between staying out of Europe and the pathetic state of the special relationship, then... good luck.
we stayed out of the last (failed) attempt to integrate Europe. When was that? Let me see....ah yes 1939. We have no problem with staying out again. To use the chant beloved of Millwall FC football fans, "nobody loves us, we don't care"
The real goal was to abolish national parliamentary democracy. Monnet was no fan of democracy. What a shame this traitor to democracy is dead, otherwise we could put him on trial today.
Did you know Monnet was the same idiot who said the entire RAF should be moved to France in the battle of France 1940?
First let's organise a eurovision style contest to elect a european chief of state as first among his peers.
Second let the newly elected president nominate a european chancellor, preferably not originating from his own government.
Third, let this chancellor be approved or rejected by means of national parliaments, with general / not national headcount.
"First let's organise a eurovision style contest to elect a european chief of state as first among his peers."
No man, please! Berlusconi may win it. If there is one thing he can actually do quite well is singing...
In 1989 the fall of the Berlin Wall was trumpeted as the real end of World War 2. Not so. The end will be the disintegration of the EU, the resultant edifice of a disastrous Franco-German stitch-up to bring "peace and prosperity" to Europe (I kid you not). We should never have joined this mess, and the sooner we leave, the better. And no, I'm not a little Englander, I have lived abroad 3 times, and run an international sales organisation for a major blue chip.
"I'm not a little Englander, I have lived abroad 3 times, and run an international sales organisation for a major blue chip."
Living abroad does not necessarily make little Englanders big.
And I hope by "abroad" you didn't mean Scotland...
France. I'm bilingual
Lovely country!
Hope you will leave not only the EU but Gibraltar too.
ah there you have it! when the people of Gibraltar vote to not to be a Crown colony (which they are free to do at any time), they can leave, as incidentally are the people of the The Falklands. It is called self determination.
But in the EU, if the result of an election (referenda in Ireland, Netherlands, France) is not liked by the political elite, the prople must vote again, until they produce the "right" answer. It is called the democratic deficit. The sooner we leave, the better
The EU has become De la Fontaine's story of "The Grasshopper(s) and the Ant(s)". Would it be a good idea to let the majority in the EU decide what actions should be taken, if there are more Grasshoppers than Ants? In other words, as long as there are more Grasshoppers than Ants in the EU, more integration and for example Eurobonds are a very bad idea (for the Ants).
That's hell of a summary! Congratulations, you've just won the title as the best Complex Issues Generalizer.
I need to ask you a favour. I must explain WWII to dumb people at a dinner tonight, I need your help here. Could you summarize that in a paragraph? It would be also so cool if you used another literary reference, like, I don't know, Simon's & Kirby's "Captain America"...
What makes you think that you are smart and the people at the dinner tonight dumb? :-)
You're right! I didn't think about that possibility. That is probably why I was thinking all these matters were so complex...
a good opinion article ,i won't argue on that!
i'll simply give you a last weekendn's vote pole in the region of Attica-Athens made by the University of Athens(statistics).
New Democ. 15%
LAOS(conserv.) 3%
Creation Again(conserv.)3.5%
Democratic Left Party 5,5%
Communist Party 6,8%
Colden Dawn(far-right) 5.8%
Greek Green Party 3,4%
Indep.Greeks 12,8%
SIRIZA (tsipras) 31,9%
the reason i'm informing you about this pole is because Bloomberg refered to the private vote poles that gave a clear head start to New D.(samaras).

hmmm. dunno what to say. this product is rock solid and doesn't come out so easily. and since it's soft peach pink color and i'm asian with NC35 skin tone it doesn't show easily on my cheeks. i guess i have to pick up other darker colors like tipsy or natural beauty. i have to swirl and swirl and swirl over this blush to get the color to come out. anyone have any recommendation to make this product better applied?

I have to agree with BriddaBella, that this blush is rock solid! So much so that I had swirl like crazy to get this blush on the brush. I feel so validated that another member was having the same issues with this blush. And on top of that, there is a black film that started developing on the surface of this blush, causing no blush to transfer on my brush, and I was using a MAC blush brush. None of the other blushes I use have ever done this.
Also, I tried swatching it on my fingers and even that didn't work. I lost all patience with this blush and will not repurchase it. Nothing but frustration came out of using this product. They need to reformulate it. I mean there is clay in this, but doesn't mean this is supposed to turn into rock solid clay. Very disappointing.

I love this blush! I have 4 of the tarte blushes and I think this or natural beauty are my favorite! It is really natural know my fair, warm, olive tones skin. It is a bit expensive but lasts so long! I work in a pool and it stays on 5-6 hrs in the pool and 9-10 hours not in a pool. It is very pigmented so I apply it with real techniques stippling brush. It is relatively easy to blend and I really suck at blending. Also it's not fully matte more natural glowy sheen. I will for sure repurchase when I run out if not before in case they discontinue this blush! I will also probably buy it as a gift for my sister soon.

Since so many bloggers have been raving about Tarte Cosmetics and in particular their blushes I went ahead and bought this blush on ebay. I live in Europe and there is no other way to get my hands on Tarte products. Anyway, I wasn't really worried about not liking the product, because so many people were loving it.
I like the packaking but I can't say the same about the blush. he colour is beautiful and I'm happy with that, but the blush is rock solid and not like a powder at all. I was having trouble just swatching it and I literally had to scratch the blush to get some product.
As for the application I am using the Real Techniques blush brush and I have to aggressively swirl in to get some product on and I feel that even though the product is on the brush it won't transfer to my cheeks. When I do manage to get some product on my cheeks it looks somewhat blotchy and messy.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong with this, but I wouldn't buy it again. Overall it's disappointing and not being able to try out Tarte before buying definitely put me off from further purchases of Tarte products.

So pretty! I love this blush on my skin. It's a light, delicate, almost matte peachy-pink that never goes ruddy or muddy on my NC15 skin. It doesn't have shimmer but it has a nice skin-like sheen to I that looks so natural. Long-lasting too. I reach for this all the time.

I love this blush in the summertime. I own five tarte blushes, and this is probably my favorite right now. It gives me a very natural girly flush, and runs more pink than peach on my skin. The lasting power is amazing--I'll apply it at 8 in the morning, and will see no fading until around midnight. It's a great formula!
However, I don't like wearing this blush in the wintertime. I prefer wearing deeper colors like flushed... they look more natural than pinks on me!

This a really fabulous peachy-pink color. I had been wanting to get this blush after finding out that it is a dupe for the LE/discontinued MAC blush "Instant Chic". Luckily I was able to get it in a swap which makes me love it even more!
It remains very true to color on my face. It does not pull red or orange at all. Its a true warm pink-peach with a very subtle rose undertone. Looks great on my warm-toned NC-30-35 skin. Highly pigmented yet not difficult to apply. Will likely last a long time. I find that it looks quite pretty with Bobbi Brown rich lip color in Peony Pink.
While Tarte advertises their Amazonian Clay blushes as 12 hour wear I think that is a wee bit of a stretch. Though it certainly gets at least 6 or 8. I very much prefer the amazonian clay blushes over their cheek stains which make my pores look enormous. I am interested in trying blushing bride next as it looks like a great dusty rose color for fall and winter

Syracuse, NY (Sports Network) - Brandon Triche scored 18 points as No. 2 Syracuse closed the books on its best-ever regular season with a 58-49 decision over No. 19 Louisville in the regular season finale for both schools at Carrier Dome.
Dion Waiters added 13 points and Kris Joseph contributed 11 for the Orange (30-1, 17-1 Big East), who have won 10 straight overall and finished 19-0 at home.
"We just want to play well at the end of the day," Joseph said. "The Big East Tournament is really important to us. We want to bring that title back to Syracuse. But at the end of the day, March Madness is the big dance, and that's what we're preparing for. So we're hoping to play well in the Big East Tournament and carry that momentum into the NCAA Tournament."
Chane Behanan and Russ Smith totaled 10 points apiece for the Cardinals (22-9, 10-8), who have dropped three of four. Gorgui Deng totaled a game-best 12 rebounds in defeat.
Louisville led 15-9 just over eight minutes in, but Syracuse turned the tables with a 17-1 run over the next seven-plus minutes to take control.
James Southerland kicked it off with a trey and Fab Melo added a jumper. Waiters connected from long distance to put the Orange on top by a 17-16 count. Waiters and Triche later added back-to-back buckets and Southerland ended the run by sinking two free throws with four minutes left to make it 26-16.
The hosts led 26-19 at the break, but quickly extended that edge after Triche began the second half with eight straight points -- including a pair of three- pointers.
Syracuse kept the pedal to the floor and Joseph's dunk pushed the advantage to 50-31 with 8:39 to go. Peyton Siva's layup brought the Cardinals within 50-40 with 4:07 to play but the visitors didn't reduce their deficit below double digits until the final seconds.
Behanan and Jared Swopshire each totaled four points to fuel Louisville's early surge.

IBERIA PARISH, LA — A murder suspect escaped the Iberville Parish jail this afternoon, but he's back in custody now.
Akeem Gailes escaped from his holding cell at the courthouse.
He was in the middle of his trial for allegedly killing a man at the Plaquemine Mardi Gras parade last year.
The judge in his case declared a mistrial; now, prosecutors now have 24 hours to appeal.
Iberville Parish Sheriff Brett Stassi says he will make sure this doesn't happen again.
Stassi is investigating how Gailes escaped, but he says the video footage does show the bailiff locking his cell.

Ukiyo-e - Virtual Culture. A Guide to the Ukiyo-e Sites of the Internet. Ukiyo-e. Ukiyo-e, or ukiyo-ye (浮世絵; Japanese pronunciation: [u.ki.jo.e]; "pictures of the floating world"), is a genre of woodblock prints and paintings that flourished in Japan from the 17th through 19th centuries.
Aimed at the prosperous merchant class in the urbanizing Edo period (1603–1867), depictions of beautiful women; kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers; scenes from history and folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora and fauna; and erotica were amongst the popular themes. Edo (modern Tokyo) was chosen as the seat of government by the military dictatorship in the early 17th century. The merchant class at the bottom of the social order found themselves the greatest beneficiaries of the city's rapid economic growth. Many indulged in the entertainments of kabuki theatre, courtesans, and geisha of the pleasure districts. The term ukiyo ("floating world") came to describe this hedonistic lifestyle.

The Library of Congress owes its extensive holdings of Ukiyo-e prints and printed books to a host of different collectors, including Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and President William Howard Taft.
However, the most extensive collection of Ukiyo-e at the Library was assembled by Crosby Stuart Noyes (1825-1908), an owner and editor-in-chief of the former Washington Evening Star.

There are two types of people. If you want to understand Aristotle you don't need any change in your being, you simply need some information. A school can provide some information about logic, philosophy; you can collect some intellectual understanding and you can understand Aristotle. You need not change to understand him, you need only a few more additions to your knowledge. The being remains the same, you remain the same. You need not have a different plane of consciousness; that is not the requirement. Aristotle is clear. If you want to understand him, a little effort is enough; anybody of average mind and intelligence will understand him. But to understand Heraclitus is going to be rough terrain, difficult, because whatsoever you collect as knowledge will not be of much help; just a very, very cultivated head won't be of any help. You will need a different quality of being - and that is difficult - you will need a transformation. Hence, he is called obscure.
He is not obscure! You are below the level of being where he can be understood. When you reach that level of being, suddenly all darkness around him disappears. He is one of the most luminous beings; he is not obscure, he is not dark - it is you who are blind. Remember this always, because if you say he is dark you are throwing the responsibility on him, you are trying to escape from a transformation that is possible through encountering him. Don't say that he is dark. Say, "We are blind," or, "Our eyes are closed."
The sun is there: you can stand in front of the sun with closed eyes and you can say the sun is dark. And sometimes it also happens that you can stand with open eyes before the sun, but the light is so much that your eyes temporarily go blind. The light is too much to bear, it is unbearable; suddenly, darkness. Eyes are open, the sun is there, but the sun is too much for your eyes so you feel darkness. And that is the case - Heraclitus is not dark. Either you are blind, or your eyes are closed, or there is also the third possibility: when you look at Heraclitus, he is such a luminous being that your eyes simply lose the capacity to see. He is unbearable, the light is too much for you. You are not accustomed to such light so you will need to make a few arrangements before you can understand Heraclitus. And when he is talking he looks as if he is riddling, he looks as if he is enjoying riddles, because he talks in paradoxes.
All those who have known always talk in paradoxes. There is something to it - they are not riddling, they are very simple. But what can they do? If life itself is paradoxical, what can they do? Just to avoid paradoxes you can create neat and clean theories, but they will be false, they will not be true to life. Aristotle is very neat, clean; he looks like a man-managed garden. Heraclitus looks like riddles - he is a wild forest.
With Aristotle there is no trouble; he has avoided the paradox, he has made a neat and clean doctrine - it appeals. You will be scared to face Heraclitus because he opens the door of life, and life is paradoxical. Buddha is paradoxical, Lao Tzu is paradoxical; all those who have known are bound to be paradoxical. What can they do? If life itself is paradoxical, they have to be true to life. And life is not logical. It is a logos, but it is not logic. It is a cosmos, it is not a chaos - but it is not logic.
The word logos has to be understood because Heraclitus will use it. And the difference between logos and logic also has to be understood. Logic is a doctrine about what is true, and logos is truth itself. Logos is existential, logic is not existential; logic is intellectual, theoretical. Try to understand. If you see life you will say there is death also. How can you avoid death? If you look at life, it is implied. Every moment of life is also a moment of death; you cannot separate them. It becomes a riddle.

Seams are bad.
On the left knee area a seam runs directly across the bottom of the knee. It rubs inside your pants and you can feel it for sure. Funny thing is that the right knee doesn't have the seam.Form overtook function unfortunately. Deal killer. Have to ship em back. Bummed because they look tight.

I have uploaded all of the BlazBlue Alter Memory End Cards. I couldn't make my own snapshots since HULU and FUNimation does not stream the end cards. I lost my legal methods of making end cards because I don't download anime content due to having a slow computer. I look over the web and Random Curiosity. I found BlazBlue Wikia who completed the collection.
Thank BlazBlue Wikia for supplying the end cards. They did the work.
I forgot to upload the Eyecatches. I took these from HULU's videos.
Are there any anime series that has end cards or eyecatches that you would like to me to check out?

I always need warm cardies that look and feel nice. The selection at Woolovers is very good and the materials are soft and comfy as well as looking fashionable. I have not been able to find such a range in the shops here. I orderded all 'small' sized cardies. The 'classic cropped' and 'girly trim' were actually a bit smaller than the 'versatile v' so that may be something to consider when ordering.If sizes differ between styles it would be good to have this in the description on the website… Read Full Review

Once again I have been pleased with my order-both quality and style. My only complaint-which I've made before-is that there are many other styles I would buy if they were just that bit longer in the body. I'm average build but unless I go for the longer length styles, the other's are just too short. It pays to carefully check the web sites measurements against your own garments or preferences before you decide on a style. Sometimes going up a size helps with length and sometimes not.

A 0.006-kg bullet traveling horizontally with a speed of 1.00 103 m/s enters an 21.1-kg door, imbedding itself 10.4 cm from the side opposite the hinges as in the figure below. The 1.00-m-wide door is free to swing on its hinges.
C) Angular momentum of the system is the same before and after. Assume rotation about the door hinge.
d) before (1/2)m v^2
after =(1/2) I w^2
it better be much less after.
Angular momentum of bullet alone about door hinge L = m v r = .006 * 10^3 * (1.000-.104) = 5.376 kg m^2/s
Angular momentum of system after collision (ignore mass of bullet)
L = I w where I = ( 1/3) m b^2 and w is angular velocity and b is door width.
L = (1/3)(21.1)(1)^2 w = 7.033 w
7.033 w = 5.376
w = .7644 rad/s
I'm sorry I meant I cant figure out part D.
energy before = (1/2) m v^2
energy after = (1/2) I w^2
energy after better be much smaller than energy before
before (1/2) (.006)(10^3)^2 = 3000 Joules
after (1/2)(7.003)(.7644)^2 = 2.046 Joules
the bullet entering the wood turned most of the energy into heat
By the way, we did not get the same answer for part c

Announcements & News
Attention Boaters!!!
Receding water levels due to the drought are creating hazards and extremely muddy shorelines that are limited and difficult to access. Please exercise due caution when operating your vessel and while attempting to access the shoreline by foot.
Swim beaches will remain closed this summer.
Due to Low Water Levels/Drought Conditions trailered boats will not be allowed to launch on the Lagoon. Launching is still available at the Main Launch Ramp. Hand launched water craft such as float tubes, kayaks, sailboards and stand-up paddleboards may still launch at the Lagoon Launch Ramp.
Our Next Float Tube Bass Tournament is September 27th.
Check out the "Flyer", "Rules", and "Registration" forms.
There is no launching from Paradise Cove. The only authorized launching spot on the lagoon is from the launch ramp on the east side of the lake.
Mandatory Boat Inspections.
Zero Tolerance! Boats Must be 100% dry! Do Not Run Water through your engine/motor before coming to the lake. If it is not 100% dry your boat will fail the inspection and not be allowed to launch for 7 days. Learn more
