There was a long apologia for the EU from Flackstein who thought it all a good thing and asked for an example of it behaving as a totalitarian dictatorship. Well, he might tell us how the British people may, by a democratic process, sack the Commission and replace it by one more to our taste. That body has the power to make laws we must obey. How do we change it or them? Nor was he right to say that we had a referendumn on the EU. We had a referendumn on whether to accept the renegotiated terms on which we had entered the European Economic Community.
