Welcome back Wayne
Would this be the same Blair that took us into wars on a lie, or the Blair that wanted us to adopt the €URO, or the Blair that was angling to become European President. Yes I really value his opinion......

That'd suck to be going into something on a lie. I'm glad we don't do those kind of things any more
Good article on how the EU works and it's democracy or lack of it:

The pay parity is a lot different though , and the power!
Interesting article. He seems to suggest the best course of action is for national governments to be more vigilant.
The UK have totally over reacted in the ultimate case of 'I'm taking my ball and I'm going home!'
As a paid up subscriber to the Economist, there's much I agree with in their stance. I doubt you'd find many that would say the EU is perfect, as it's most certainly not, it's just something that many (Economist included) regard as being better in than out of.
Haven't seen you much lately Joe. Hope all is well?
Had planning problems by a nearby neighbour lost it & it affected my health thanking David Cameron for relplacing planning laws in 2013 I will now have a view of a terrace extension 19 feet long x 17 ft high with an apex roof - a blot on the landscape ten objections , I flawed the surveying the report to committee, but the committee on planning were thick, passed with restrictions then they retracted it the are no rules just planning recommendations!
So been on that for 3 months - then had a bowel scare -- into hospital again!

Jesus mate. Hope it gets better asap!
Sounds like a tough time mate. Hope everything eases up before long, especially your health. That's always the most important thing (that and Everton)

Jubilant Brexiters shitting themselves
21-03-17
BREXIT supporters are celebrating the Article 50 announcement while desperately trying to ignore all evidence that they are idiots.
Leave voters’ joy at leaving the EU has been tempered by nagging doubts that they may have done something quite stupid and people will be very angry with them.
Sales manager Wayne Hayes said: “I’m delighted Brexit is going ahead, but also a bit worried all my neighbours will lose their jobs and lock me in my shed and set fire to it.
“I’ll still be cracking open the champagne tonight, though. I need a drink to stop worrying about a recession and me having to scratch a living washing cars at traffic lights.”
Hairdresser Mary Fisher said: “If I have doubts I just keep saying ‘We’re taking back control!’ to myself to block out negative thoughts like ‘[Poor language removed], that shopping was expensive’.
“However it does worry me that all the Brexit politicians turned out to be self-serving toerags and David Davis looks as though he’s been given too many pills in the old folks’ home.”

Can see the humour in that however although you are (admirably) against racial stereotyping and prejudice you don't seem against stereotyping and prejudice in other ways...
We want our fishing waters back which is worth billions to the UK economy - one job at sea is worth ten on the mainland just on white fish ?
Answer that one it's not all in the EUs favour!
