Well, whether they stay in Scotland or not is an entirely different question, Crommers .....
I cannot understand the mentality of the people whom we elect to run this country of ours.
Neither can I, Aggers. It's a particular mind-set. Waste of space, the lot of them .....
Edit: this posted within the last hour on the Gruniad's live feed regarding the Paris atrocities:
Hungary’s parliament has said it will mount a legal challenge to the EU’s mandatory quota scheme to resettle 160,000 refugees around Europe .
Justice Minister Laszlo Trocsanyi said the challenge will be filed at European Court of Justice in early December.
The bill setting out the legal challenge, which passed the Hungarian parliament this morning, said the quota “ignores the principle of subsidiarity and fails to grant national parliaments the opportunity to express their opinion”.
Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania all voted against the imposition of quotas in September.
Slovakia and Poland’s governments have also said in recent days that the plan is no longer viable after the attacks in Paris. Britain has exercised its opt-out on the scheme.
Merkel's gone very quiet, all of a sudden ....
