TRUST THE EXPERT-SYSTEMS
For any European agreement to be agreed it is necessary to trust the experts that satisfy the expert-systems. This means to deny the public space and voice (if allowed).
It would ne nice to hear from folk : who are these experts that WE trust?

Perhaps a few names could be presented on this blog.
Who is trustworthy in this EU ( or even nationalistic) facade?

I've often wondered how one becomes an "expert" or a "pundit"? When I read the outpourings of these highly paid, celebrated names, I often reflect that they know less about the topic than I do merely from my general reading. But I'm not acclaimed as an "expert". Why not?

AntiPandit, you are far too modest I think.

If that's so, can I start charging by the word for my oracular insights? Who will pay me? Punditry, like "consultancy", is all done by mirrors. Confession: I once set up a consultancy myself. Ouch!

You have, clearly, not been to a catholic confession.
There the pain goes away!!!!!
Ole Luther ( and Edinburgh types) just get that pain going on and on and on.
Tony Giddens will solve the problems so that is ok.

I think the EU on the face of it is a wonderful idea.

But I don't trust them one little bit.

Once I read an article explaining how UNdemocratic the EU systems actually are. Because it was built up as a coal and commodities exchange system democracy wasn't inherently built into it. I don't think people will realize this until it is too late ...

That deserves a folk song.
Gledwood : a gift?

No, I haven't been to a Catholic confession but I have been exorcised.

I'm the living proof that it doesn't work!
