The reason why people don't make eye contact in London is that the place is far too crowded and full of extremely strange people, so you need to preserve a safe space for yourself. Sad to say this, and I always feel more relaxed whenever I go back up North visiting, but down in London I do as the Londoners do, at least most of the time.

When I was lost in London one night and trying to find my way to Euston station all the native Londoners I spoke to, or tried to speak to to get directions could not be arsed, even some London copper who was either dimwitted or having a joke at my expense sent me in the wrong direction. I found my way courtesy of some Swedish and Polish tourists who just happened to be out enjoying themselves. The fact that I don't look menacing in any way and had an Iron Maiden T-Shirt on probably also helped to break the ice as they all asked if I had been to the gig at Twickenham, which I had.

The only time anyone has ever cold-shouldered me when I requested directions was in Edinburgh. My impression of Edinburgh was that people regarded smiling or laughter as symptoms of mental illness. A huge contrast with Glasgow, where they might beat the crap out of you if they think you have slighted them, but they are much warmer in spirit, except when throwing police dogs back at the coppers.

As for his powers, we have seen them. He sued the British government in the ECJ for wanting to restrict access to social housing to UK residents; why he thought this was justified is for him to say, but it was not a good decision and it influenced the referendum vote. He has power to stop the UK government from making policy in the interests of the British people. In whose interests Mr Juncker acts I really couldn't say, but he does not act in Britain's interests and that too has influenced the referendum. Mr Juncker is not a mere civil servant; he exercises a lot of power. But we have no effective remedy for getting rid of him unless the EU parliament sacks the whole commission. Others may find this satisfactory; but I do not.

You don't like him because he doesn't bend over for the English? That's your problem, but please remember, he can't decide anything by himself. The EU is a democracy, and majorities are required |

An election in which there is only one candidate; as a former citizen of the USSR you probably feel nostalgic for the good old days.

No, it not the same. It's exactly like when the US President proposes a Secretary or UNSC Justice -- he's the choice of the Council, but he can be rejected just like the US Senate can reject candidates

But this is my original point, Palo. These people are not elected; they are appointed.
