The appointment has been reassuring. We now know that Rompuy won't go gallavanting around the world like Blair. What the eurosceptics didn't like was Blair being presidnent. Rompuy'll probably a great bloke but it's the lack of vetoes i'm concerned about plus the anti-sovereignty statements from people like Milliband and the Warsaw pact like bullying of Klaus. A woman and a British one at that is what the EU needs.

He should be helping people in Britain which he's trying to do. He is however a Marxist with loads of spin and little decent substance. The Queen is being used as a puppet by the current New Labour government to promote its own agenda. I'm more confident that the Tories and Lib Dems will help the world better than Labour have.

As long as both Major parties remain MAJOR and hang on to SAFE seats we will NOT see any reform at Parliament level. They won't even reform Local Elections! As long as the Class system remains , the electoral system remains!!!

Any meaningful reform of the electoral system or of parliament will never, ever happen. The major parties have too much invested in the current system of voting and the folk in charge of the parties also have a similar vested interest in keeping parliament weak w.r.t. the government.

Why are the lib dems protesting about something not on their own patch. Campaigners shouldn't be getting the run of parliament the politicians should.
Although i dare say the profits will just go to shareholders.

Carmichael says Queen’s speech will be empty spin and ignore devolution
"We will see is the kind of empty spin that has made the country so sick of this Government," said the Liberal Democrat Shadow Scotland Secretary.

We can hardly worry about devolution in these times. This government has been lying through its teeth and our politics need to be more liberal/conservative focused not Marxist like Labour. Alex Salmond should embrace Westminster for the time being.

It seems to me that devolution is a crucial aspect of the resolving the broken democracy that is Britain. Devolution completely failed to address the 'English' question aka 'the West Lothian question' and the effects of that are being seen in low turnouts and increased support for extremist parties.

I am most definitely not an English nationalist, but you cannot have devolution for only 3 out of 4 bits of the UK.

People who get cosmetic surgery are stupid and shallow anyway, or really do need it. I'm pretty sure the doctors go through the risks when meeting them (or they should).

Totally agree with Mark and Paul. It's all this 'multiculturalism' and 'diversity' that's causing the sectarianism and racism in the first place. We are one community.

Schools find it so hard to understand the word "bullying", it does not matter if its homophobic or otherwise, but with my kids, I have lost count of the times that their school told me, that it was a bit of fun that got out of hand, even teachers have got involved in this" bit of fun"! If it hurts mentally, causes stress and heartache it is BULLYING! My son is still trying to pick up the pieces even now at 21 years!

I am a disabled war veteran with a small forces pension, some allowances and tiny war disability pension. Why am I forced to endure inadequate housing provided under Duress by Oxford City Housing where there are empty properties that ex Forces personnel who made a severe commitment to this country would maintain, look aftr and therefore be ...

It saddens me greatly to read of the meagreness of your disability pension, Robin, which I can empathise with to a certain extent as a civilian disabled person. Having said that I haven't suffered anything like your hardship. Living as I do on the edge of England's largest Garrison at Catterick, where I know several serving families, I have heard only too often of the substandard quarters, and other empty quarters which have just been left to go to wreck.
