Re: Welcome to the Temple of Excess.

These new UK MEPs most them very successful in their own field are like few others.
They have entered for a short period with the intention of doing an expose of the EU and I am sure we will hear them loud and clear from within the EU parliament in July.

The EU may come to regret playing games with our departure and that they didn't make a better deal and let us go.

You are forgetting Solly that each country in EU have
their own civil servants allready! The cmmission staff are
over and above them!
Imo civil servants should only be paid at the average of
what a middle class citizen earns with possibly some sensible
expenses allowed?
I agree uk has become top heavy as well and also needs
pruning? But what we are hearing about the commission
seems extortionate!

Except it's a layer of control we don't need.

If you'd take an honest look at your country, you have to admit that the brexit process has shown that the UK is anything, but, in control. Any added control is a large gain for your people.

You were'nt able to make any improvement in how you govern your country during the period you were members. Even though your economy largely improved. What makes you dream about changing government during the future economic turmoil?

Hi

The EU Gravy Train pales into insignificance compared to our own.

People in Glasshouses should not throw stones.
