Cameron warming up to Juncker




Lansley, the leader of Britain's lower house of parliament and a “moderate Eurosceptic”, will become the country's next representative in the European Union executive.

De Gaulle was right to refuse Britain's membership.

Turkey, UK and Ukraine must evolve outside of the EU.

And the British were wrong to save France from the Germans. Plus saving De Gaulle's ass by throwing him on an aircraft and getting him out of France so he could lead the FF from the safety of the UK. De Gaulle was a nationalist and hated the UK for standing up to German oppression when France turned belly up.. With that said this is about the less that great De Gaulle and not the many brave French men and women that died in the fight against Nazi Germany. Antoine if your going to give it out you have to learn to take it!

In world's history, Britain still has a role to play.

This role can only be fulfilled outside of the EU.

Cameron ready to compromise on Juncker? Blow me dead, I'm seeing pigs fly. Cameron wants Langsley for vice president? Cameron wants this, and then Cameron wants that, and when he doesn't get what he wants he stomps his feet and carries on until he does. One thing is for sure, Cameron is a very undemocratic person with a very pushy disposition. All you British ought to pay attention to this because it concerns you, with Cameron's attitude to what the people want you can just about whistle for your referendum if he keeps going this way.

Mr Cameron the man of the stone age : "despite the fact that “nobody in Britain voted for him”.
Does the European Union only consists of that bricked Britain ?
But who voted for Cameron's forced undemocratic opinion ?

Remember Juncker candidate and as stipulate in the he Lisbon Treaty that the European Parliament shall elect the commission president on the BASIS of a PROPOSAL made by the European Council, taking into account the European elections (Article 17, Paragraph 7 of the TEU). This will apply for the first time in the 2014 elections.
And unfortunately for Cameron his "old-fashioned" federalist was approved by the majority !!!

We the European people voted with that little bit of democracy we got! It's time respect to begin seriously to prevent such behaviors and discrepancies in future . If not then we should go for direct democracy !

As Winston Churchill said U.S.E and Britain as 51st U.S State !
