in politics, to do something, you have to listen first, only then, you will know what to do.

Which was what I was saying, Pedro, maybe it lost something when put down on here. LL

I am not a fan of Mrs May, but it is a good job someone sane and capable is now PM. IMO, she isn't the type to do anything in a hurry, without thinking things through.

Dáil to permit ECB scrutiny of Private Members’ Bills
Amendments mean any such Bills that proceed to committee stage must be sent to bank

The Dáil is to change standing orders to allow the European Central Bank examine Private Members’ motions.
The Oireachtas business committee is to meet today to discuss correspondence from the ECB, which requested sight of any Bills by Opposition TDs that affect currency, banks or matters relating to financial institutions.
The committee was advised to revise standing orders to comply with the new direction by the ECB.
The amendments will mean any Private Members’ Bills that proceed to committee stage must be sent to the bank. They cannot be forwarded until “the outcome of the consultation with the European Central Bank” has been sought and considered.
While the ECB’s opinion will not be binding, the committee was warned of serious consequences if its opinion was not sought.
The Anti-Austerity Alliance-People before Profit group is seeking a full debate on the matter in the House.

A perfect example of why I voted Leave - and why I think Ms Sturgeon and co have taken leave of their senses.

LL, about my comment, my apologies if I have offended you, it was not my intention to offend you.

**bb1** Sat Jul 16, 2016 8:15 pm

I think it was just crossed wires, Pedro, politics are confusing enough, without having to use another language, as you do. And very well, too. smile

bb1, thank you.

One of the reasons I use smileys a lot is that words are 'flat' on the internet, you don't always get the intent behind the words.

**lily** Sat Jul 16, 2016 9:22 pm

Me too, Bonny. Besides we are not looking at expressions on faces either which often helps. biggrin

Brexit minister: Some EU migrants may have to leave UK

LONDON (AP) — Exposing the uncertainties unleashed by Britain's decision to leave the European Union, the U.K. minister in charge of negotiating the divorce said Sunday that most EU citizens in Britain when it leaves the bloc will be able to stay — but some might have to leave.

big true: "I want to see a generous settlement for the people here already. They didn't seek this circumstance — we did."

**bb1** Sun Jul 17, 2016 10:07 pm

I don't believe that, any more than I believe it's going to be 91f - it would have to stop raining first.

There's a big world out there, and I wish politicians would just get on with it, instead of continually pouring petrol on bonfires.

**lily** Mon Jul 18, 2016 3:22 pm

The EU bureaucrats must be quite terrified?

**bb1** Mon Jul 18, 2016 3:31 pm

The EU is one of the world's biggest gravy trains, Lily - of course there is crying and wailing from those about to be chucked off it.

**lily** Mon Jul 18, 2016 3:45 pm

I think you must be feeling really bad for them.....as do I. biggrin
