    Default A court case which could end the EU forever is just a few short weeks away

    .
    Those aggressive shouty Rejoiners who still champion the EU as a morally spotless shining force for human good (which should neither be questioned nor challenged) are about to be silenced, perhaps for good.

    Because police are expected to arrest even more EU politicians and their aides as part of a shaming, and extensive, corruption inquiry. It's as dirty as politics gets, it's cash-for-influence, a filthy game as old as democracy itself. And it's coming to a European court very soon.

    It's being called Qatargate, but it's not is it? It's EU-gate. A deep corruption probe going to the heart of the European Union. It's about graft, it's about the abuse of power, and it's about a complete lack of accountability. And it is spreading, the net is widening.

    Initially, four people were arrested after police stormed addresses in Belgium and Italy in coordinated raids in December. But jailed former MEP Antonio Panzeri, who was collared as part of those raids, is set to implicate at least four more MEPs - and perhaps many, many more - as part of a plea bargain deal.

    It is corruption on a scale certainly never seen in British politics - ever. And yet you've barely read about it or watched it on TV have you? Odd that.

    But don't take my word for it. Try the usually unflappable and very un-tabloid newspaper Wikipedia take on it: "Qatargate is an ongoing political scandal, involving allegations that European Parliament officials, lobbyists and their families have been influenced by the governments of Qatar, Morocco and Mauritania, engaging in corruption, money laundering, and organised crime."

    Saudi Arabia could also be implicated and the arrests caused Green Party MEP Viola von Cramon-Taubadel to allege Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Russia had also "systematically purchased influence" for years.

    Wow 30 year old idea implodes becaue it only was developed to assure the divide would return.
    Every brain born has a lifetime conflict with ancestral displacement and intellectual social position within the population present. Why, life is a compounding connection between inception, conception, death, extinction life doesn't exceed what exists now.
