eg the EU commission make the laws, there are countries waiting to sign free trade deals with us, that 2 people define what happens in the EU etc etc etc.
And lastly, no I am not surprised they are forthright in their manner.
In the 1930's extremists systematically resorted to terror and violence. Now, in the early 21st century, they rely on disinformation, defamation, intimidation and demonisation.
And, dare I say it, like children in a play ground, name calling.

It's the civil servants that ensure the continuity of policy over the varying government/politicians that pass by during the years. Ultimately they lead the country. The EU is not much different.Therefore politicians like Juncker and Verhofstadt (from minor member countries) can be the mouthpieces of the EU (as long as they understand german).

The reason they decided to stay in the UK was pressure from their share holders because they would have had to sell their holdings in the 'city' and buy shares in the Rotterdam market. There is also worry about future tax treatment of Dutch dividends.
By the way London is not their head office, it is a joint one with Rotterdam.
