I think what you&#039;re saying is a bunch of crap.

So you think I begrudge you the money you&#039;re earning from the European Commission for your anti-EU stance. Wrong, Kevin. I think it&#039;s hypocritical for you to bite the hand that feeds you. I think you lack common decency. You object to something, but take its money.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Kev, ,money buys power and power corrupts. Gaddafi&#039;s wealth could have allowed him and his offspring a luxurious life whilst still winning a popularity contest. But no, he wanted the lot and the result is this.

You do not accept that the  bureaucrats in Brussels CAN PLAN OUR FUTURES, that is what they really do.

For forward-planning of 10 to 15 years you do need a bureaucratic system. I have been raised by parents I didn&#039;t elect for the job and until I was 18 my country was run by politicians who were not elected by me. No big deal.

Government lies come from both right and left of the spectrum. You yearn for perfection knowing that it is a dream. You belittle a system that is probably the best that exists at the moment. Incidentally, for there to exist the fear of war, war must exist to generate that fear - you cannot have one without the other. What do you really want, Kevin.]]></description>

&quot;...that’s power in the hands of the unelected few.&quot;

As it always was, is and should be - Kev is just pissed off he&#039;s not one of the few.

@Kev - the average human reaches an IQ of 100. Majtezwel give power to a lobotomised goat - hence the few.]]></description>

You&#039;re correct. Kevvy does have a chip on his shoulder. In fact, on both shoulders.  In Canada we call them &#039;Buffalo chips&#039;. Guess what they&#039;re made of.

Very impressed that Kevvy is allowed off from his kitchen and cleaning duties to attend question period of the European Parliament. Must be fascinating for him.]]></description>

&quot;Cecilia Malmström is the current cog in the EU’s quest for its very own fully functional criminal justice system, where laws and justice systems are not only harmonised and coordinated, and where Europol and Eurojust are not just liaison offices, but where only one law of the land exists and where a fully-fledged, centralised EU executive can operate in ways that can reach every corner of our homes, pockets and minds&quot;

By your own admission, the EU is on a quest to have its own fully functional criminal justice system and to harmonise laws in pan-European fashion.

Also, where Europol and Eurjust are not only liason offices....but....are instead...the laws of the land? Doesn&#039;t make sense. This is what happens when you go rabid, kev, and start foaming at the mouth.

A fully fledged centralised EU (you&#039;re one to talk about being against centralisation, being a stalwart proponent of an era in Malta where centralisaton was the order of the day) executive can operate in ways that can reach every corner of our homes, minds and pockets.

Indeed, kev - seems to me they&#039;ve already reached and lined your pockets well enough to begin with. And if you&#039;re afraid of the nefarious EU reaching into your home and mind (such as it is), then what are you waiting for? Why don&#039;t you scurry the hell out of Brussels and take refuge somewhere safe...like Fukushima, for example?]]></description>

If you trust in the capabilities of unelected bureaucrats to engineer and plan our lives and our futures from a supranational ivory tower, then there is no alternative for you. I hold no chip. I want more critical-minded debate; one that is not restrained by governments&#039; lies that get repeated and enhanced by the mainstream media.

Incidentally, war, or the fear of war, is the best solution to eventually bring about supranational and global control - that&#039;s power in the hands of the unelected few.]]></description>
