The EU might be dysfunctional but it is still Britain’s home. Help us fix it from the inside. Dear British friends, My kids and husband are British, I teach and pay taxes in this country, talk to my village neighbours everyday and love English country lanes, Scottish castles, Welsh road-signs, Cornwall’s gardens and all the […]

As a UK Referendum on EU membership gets closer, much is being made by those urging exit of the idea of national sovereignty. Indeed for some Brexiters this is the defining issue. What they mean by sovereignty seems to be that a country can make its own laws and act independently of all other countries. […]
Poland’s right-wing government found itself on the defensive in January following the European Commission’s unprecedented decision to initiate an investigation under the EU’s ‘rule of law’ mechanism.
Eurosceptics often claim that they love Europe, but hate the European Union. They assert that Britain can still be part of Europe without having to be part of the European Union.

The European Union has had an important role in this agreement, and will be crucial to its success. But will the multiple political and economic woes on the continent undermine these efforts? And could the messy “Brexit” debate – […]
In case of any doubt, the rights of unaccompanied child refugees are clearly defined in the European Union regulations that cover how EU member states should treat asylum seekers. And contrary to reports in the media (especially the BBC, which should know better), there is no law that requires refugees to claim asylum in the first […]
