The International Law Commission of the UN is responsible for the development of international law under article 13 of the UN charter.

There is international law and there are international courts and this country just like almost every other is subject to their jurisdiction which takes primacy over national law. If they did not then they would not be able to function.

What does 'do rather well mean', just how many MPs do the UKIP, Libertas, the BNP or any other anti EU parties have in Westminster?.

The failure of the British political parties not to give the people of the UK a referendum is a failing of the British system not the EU.

Where a country's constitution allows for a referendum then the EU does nothing to stop them holding one and abides by it's result.

There are far more Britons living abroad than there are immigrants here. At the last census there were just over 6.4 million of them living in Australia alone with countless other millions living in New Zealand, South Africa, America and elsewhere taking jobs of local people and placing a burden on their social amenaties and services including prisons.

Every law made here in the UK or in any other country for that matter has to be drawn up with respect international law....

After over 30 years of membership, you cannot name a single example of an EU law that has not gone through our traditional process of Green paper, White paper, Westminster, House of Lords and then signed by the Queen. Not a single one in 30 odd years, kinda strange that given that you think they are forced upon us.

The UK is a signatory to many international treaties and members of several international bodies all of which necessitate laws to fascilitate our membership and all of which impinge on our sovereignty to some degree.

The British public got to have their say on these matters earlier this year at the European elections and just as the Irish vote 2:1 to remain in Europe, the British voted by a massive majority for parties that did not wish to leave the EU.

Are you seriously suggesting that we have votes on individual pieces of legislation that are passed through Westminster and the House of Lords?. Not only is that impracticable it is totally unworkable. We have a parliament and a legislative body that do this work for us......

But the EU is not a federal entity at all. It is a coming together of a number of sovereign nations.....

The appointment of Baroness Ashton is a great honour for this country

together with Von Rompuy they were inspired choices for these two new roles.

Baroness Ashton's appointment is a milestone for women in politics and as a committed CND supporter it is another giant step towards this country giving up it's nuclear weapons.

Find it a real head messer though the dating game and online dating. People will give really good feedback after a date and say how they're looking forward to the next one, and then nothing.

Sure POF opens doors to a lot of people, but it sure does give you a kicking too!

That must be a kick in the teeth for Bliar. Belgium haven't even got a government!

I found my mouth twitching, hands shaking, face going red, brain going all fuddled, legs feeling weak and the urge to run away. How do I control this - anyone got any hints/tips?

And I do realise that I sound totally childish for a woman my age....

I get a strong feeling that many women 'dating' on line arent actually interested in dating, they are playing some other game, more to do with attention seeking, and boredom relieving, rather than seeking a partner.

That means, you know, the real world and not dating sites or the internet.

It's probably one of those sites and will be sending you offers for money off the Daily Mail and one way tickets to Poland.

Am I a conventional, unadventurous, middle of the road fascist because I read the Daily Mail sometimes, or do I read the Daily Mail sometimes because I'm a conventional, unadventurous, middle of the road fascist?

Am I only a fascist on the days I read the Daily Mail? Or a fascist on the days I only read the Daily Mail? What am I on the days I read the Times, the Independent, the Mail and the Guardian, apart from very confused?

Satirising the Daily Mail is essentially a lazy joke perpetuated by self-appointed intellectual superiors and fourth-rate comedians harpooning the melodramatic, sensationalist tone of its headline stories.

OP: This is off topic, but "pointing at Brighton and Hove Albion"...what's that all about?

Funnily enough, from my experience it's the brave boys of the far right who publicly tend to be a bit coy about their political views when they haven't got back-up readily at hand.

You might not want to be associated with said party, but the reality is they are more left than you would like to admit .

I'm show near to Gandhi - should I buy sandals?

Comrade!

The BNP are National Socialists so have a very authoritarian social stance (fascism)...

Na, the test does have flaws ...

I always reply to all mail unless its rude or distasteful, in which case, being ladylike goes out the window!

The possibility exists if there is a persistant need to examine certain cases.

I mean it's standing there watching it's owner/master picking up and keeping in a bag in his pocket,something that he would probably try to bury.

perhaps that's me reading too much into it....

He's a fcuking disgrace and I feel totally ashamed that we have a representative who is unable to carry out such basic tasks which should come naturally to most of us that possess humanity.

So everyone who doesn't fancy bald guys is ugly?

because the dog usually looks a bit confused.

Signs, gestures, photographs, pictures, statues, cartoons etc. can also give rise to a claim for defamation, but the most obvious types of defamatory statements are written or spoken words.

HTH

I think you'll find there are plenty of "rules" about defamation.

Wrong again, that is slander, defemation is published..

ok maybe hairy feet are a bit freaky but easily removed

Good excuse to dump a loser though

He did!

Mine is too, but who's perfect?

Isnt it his advisors job to do all this for him, he merely wrote a letter expressing his sorrow, in his own words, even though they werent spelt right, he still made an effort.

He corrected it!

- most sane people would have started again.

Why??

why is it that all the folks that want to parade round naked have the most horrible bodies ?!
And why do all the fit ladies never want to do that ??!

STOP PRESS, I've just noticed that the guy who lives down the road and drives an ice cream van has the name Rossi written on the side of it, the murdering thieving mafia swine!

If they stuck a Politics choice on here Nick Griffin would probably have cause to set up special social events to encourage the interbred to match up and breed.

The more divisions you put up in view, the fewer options you find to make that match.
