Well it's not is it. It's open for people who pass certain criteria to be part of it.

Hopefully the thread gets to sanity from BA’s loony diversion

Surely there's a degree of decision by excellence in the application for Luxembourg citizenship, no?
You don't help yourself.

Meaning of “racially aggravated”
(1)An offence is racially aggravated for the purposes of sections 29 to 32 below if—
(a)at the time of committing the offence, or immediately before or after doing so, the offender demonstrates towards the victim of the offence hostility based on the victim’s membership (or presumed membership) of a racial group; or
(b)the offence is motivated (wholly or partly) by hostility towards members of a racial group based on their membership of that group.
(2)In subsection (1)(a) above—
“membership”, in relation to a racial group, includes association with members of that group;
“presumed” means presumed by the offender.
(3)It is immaterial for the purposes of paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (1) above whether or not the offender’s hostility is also based, to any extent, on—
(a)the fact or presumption that any person or group of persons belongs to any religious group; or
(b)any other factor not mentioned in that paragraph.
(4)In this section “racial group” means a group of persons defined by reference to race, colour, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origins.

Yep. The rest are tested on capability etc. basically Luxembourg citizenship.
Plenty of working class at Oxbrisge. You just have to look outside Christ Church, which is for the poshos who cannot qualify for a proper college.
bluearmyfactionHaircut1000Another thing that's wrong with it. It's like saying the UK Supreme Court must have a judge from Tunbridge Wells.The ECJ has judges from each EU member state.
I'd have thought a better comparison would be the supreme court having a judge from every British nation.
Big difference is that the Supreme Court needs input from the different legal systems within the UK. That doesn’t apply to the ECJ.
I’m not meaning to be personal but if you’re intelligent enough to dig up the facts you use why aren’t you intelligent enough to dig up facts on how the laws the ECJ use get passed into law and nullify your own argument?
They get proposed by the Commission, which is unelected, and whose members swear an oath of loyalty to the Commission over and above any national interest. And then they put someone from Malta in charge of the railways.
Was your mother frightened by an ECJ judge when she was pregnant?

Wales had the same system as us . I can look things up too!
I’m sure our big clubs have the ECJ and how we view Brexit uppermost in their thoughts on how they should respond . I mean, it was the first thing that springs to mnd 🙄.
Exactly. Not the best person but someone from a country. Which has no railways.
