I'm still trying to get my head around the Primark one. Will consider the eyebrow issue later. If you spent over £600 on cupcakes, I suppose the expenditure on a diet consultant might be a necessary expenditure so that's that one sorted
IMO - the way to have fixed the EU was from the inside as you have no influence from outside - and a failed EU would be a nightmare for Europe and the world for decades/centuries to come.
Attempts to sort out the EU from inside have been tried many times but self interest by those at the top, and the Governments of the countries who benefitted financially prevented anything happening. As long as the Germans and French have an apparent stranglehold on the EU nothing will ever change. The additional problem is, that if other countries did manage to wrestle control they would probably get their snouts just as deep in the trough.
No political process is perfect - but in any democracy, the only way to change it is using the process itself. The Parliamentary process here may also have flaws - and the way to change those is via the Parliamentary process. Ignoring the process and ducking out of it can't change it. But insanely, the UK needs a united EU. If you think Brexit was a pain - just imagine NO EU and dealing with the individual countries again - all with their own processes and standards.
It concerned me that the UK leaving the EU may have vastly more ramifications than just the UK not being part of the EU anymore.
The bullfinches have returned and are helping themselves to the buds on our apple trees... at least they're beautiful, so I sigh but accept their right to a share. But not EVERY bud, please...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
