European (useless and expensive) Parliament

IF the EU Parliament actually managed anything, the UK's aversion to European institutions might be less obvious. Members of the European Parliament are expensive but have very little legislative power. That power resides elsewhere in non-elected bodies.
 
When I was four, just before Christmas in 1979, the family drove over to a friend's house to a neighborhood with a lot of gambrel roofs. The family at this house (I don't even remember who's house it was) had an Intellivision gaming system (a contemporary of the Atari 2600, and could share cartridges with the Colecovision). When we got there I looked at the thermometer on the deck and saw that it was -4 degrees. For the last 36 years this had been the coldest temperature I had ever seen. Today beat that at -5.3 degrees Fahrenheit.

I also composed a song this morning about black clothing that I can't record because someone will think it is about black people and call me racist.

Well the UK does not consider themselves to be part of Europe.

Unless the assembled EU leaders agree to David Cameron's pathetic list of required changes, after the Referendum we probably won't be.

I'm reminded of the famous 1930s UK Newspaper headline:

Fog in Channel: Europe cut off.

My favourite British export is that old show, 'yes minister.'

The worrying thing about Yes, Minister, was that the writers knew the inside workings of British Politics and it was very, very close to the truth.

I work in the shadows of government myself, which government I will not say. Yes Minister was and still is representative of the beuracratic process.
 
Don't you just hate it when an idea won't leave you alone so you finally give in and write it down. Then you find out that there is a whole lot more to the story than you ever imagined. I'm talking about a novel at the very least. The present, the future, limited time travel. Genius IQ scientists rescued from certain death.

What a can off worms. :eek:

Now for the big question. Can I pull it off?

Other countries in Europe have had the experience of being fought over. Their wish for a united Europe is first and foremost to avoid yet another European War.

The UK (except the Channel Islands) don't have the same commitment or history. To most of the UK citizens, the European Union was economic, not defensive.

Our difficulty is that we are currently more economically successful than most members of the EU. That attracts migrant workers from within the EU - who are part of the reason for our economic success - but immigration from beyond the EU could be a real problem. The UK is a comparatively small country in land mass compared with France or Germany. We don't have the space for millions of refugees, and we don't have the demographic age inbalance that was faced by Germany. The migrant workers and the refugees we already have are creating problems with our limited housing resources.

What we SHOULD do is build far more homes for our own people and the refugees but the political will isn't there. We NEED social housing that can be rented at realistic prices, not so-called 'affordable homes' that are far beyond the reach of any family earning median wages.

When I got married, a basic house cost 3.5 times an average yearly income and that was thought expensive. Now, small local houses cost 6-8 times the average yearly income and that is impossible to finance.

If we take an allocation of the refugees already in Europe, that ignores the 2 million plus migrant workers we already have from inside the EU. They need housing while they are here. Additional refugees? Where could we put them?

Oh, I know that feeling.
 
At one time I considered a series of books using "The One Handed Reader Collection" as a title. :D
