How do our fellow Europeans feel about are Dave's dramatic stand against Juncker? Is he making us a national laughing stock as the other world leaders seem to be making out in our media? Do you lot want Juncker yourselves? As I understand it the latest euro elections went very hard right so I just don't understand why everyone is supporting a federalist.

Because whilst there was a reasonable swing against federalism, the vast majority still voted for parties that are very pro Eu. One of the things Dave has said, and rightly so, is that it'd be wrong to empower a hardliners federalist in the wake of the way the political wind is blowing.

Dave hasn't embarrassed himself so much, but he has driven himself into a stupid corner since he's no longer in the EPP and so doesn't really have a leg to stand on regarding who the EPP puts in place. Leaving the EPP was a short term domestic policy move, one that hasn't paid off in the wake of european politics as a whole.

You seem to be quite well up on the subject, I only get my information from the daily politics and the beeb. One of the things that I don't understand is why there seemed to be so much support for the anti Juncker movement last week but it all evaporated when Germany changed its mind. The cynic in me thinks Cameron never actually had that much support and it was all a bit of spin.

Someone with a better knowledge of political history can probably answer better but I assume it represents the incumbent governments at the time, yellow being liberal and blue being conservative.

Germany has the most influence in the Eu by far, certainly far more than Cameron, especially considering he's in a minor party in the EU parliament now and we've always been distant from eu politics.

The likely answer is that we're the only country that takes the anti eu sentiment halfway seriously, hence the big switch in favour of Juncker.

I'd like to say a shift in company ethics with the hopes the rest of the banks might follow, given the changing regulatory landscape and the impending implementation of the Volcker rule as an extension of Dodd Frank (R.I.P. Proprietary trading). But if I know CS then it's somehow cheaper to admit they diddled hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars from the US government via their own ultra high net worth citizens who placed their trust in tax loopholes offered by CS's off shoring tactics.

They are part of the small group of big boys who are getting of relatively Scott free in comparison to a lot of the other banks who don't have the clout to impose on governments, so maybe this was the condition they had to meet in order to escape having unfavourable light shone on their dark pools. Who knows, eh? But if the customer could see how aggressively they were traded against by the bankers they pay to manage their assets, they may lose faith rather quickly.

Tl;dr CS is probably taking the cheap route, their reputation is worth more than they're paying out.

22237 Foucault's Pendulum
I wasn't really sure where to place this: /zoo/, /art/, /map/ or /uni/ but I plumped for here in the end because maybe some FroggyLads might see this and take pity on me.

I'm going to Paris this June, partly because I wanted to visit the original Foucault's Pendulum in the musee de arts et metiers. However, it apparently completely passed me by that the original was destroyed in an accident in 2010: http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/411529.article

The last time I was in Paris (Easter last year) I saw a replica pendulum in the Pantheon, however I distinctly remember that it was being removed a few days after I was there for repairs and maintenance.

So, my question is threefold, and as Google isn't being very helpful perhaps some very nice and learned chap on here might be able to help out:

1) Has there been any kind of replica Pendulum installed in the musee since the accident?

2) Has the Pantheon's replica pendulum been reinstalled or will it be reinstalled before the end of June?

3) Or failing both of those, are there any other replica pendulums in Paris or the Paris Region that I could visit?

Thank you to anyone who might be able to help!

Devolved Scottish board when?

A racist homophobic pro gun professor and UKIP supporter was teaching a class on James the First, known James VI.

”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship James the First and accept that he was the most highly-evolved Scot the world has ever known, even greater than William Wallace himself!”

At this moment, a brave, transexual, non hetero-normal Radical Independence champion who had attended over 100 anti UKIP protests and understood the necessity of mild fascism in leftist to make people vote for the right people, stood up.

”Muh bennies”

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of The History of the United Kingdom. He stormed out of the room crying those Better Together crocodile tears. The same tears Better Togethers cry for "Poor England" as she doesn't have her own Parliament even though Scottish votes on English matters don't even make a difference! He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but the lines at the UKIP: Free Guns store was just too long.

The students applauded and all registered SNP that day and accepted Alex Salmond as their lord and savior. A pigeon named “Diversity” flew into the room and perched atop the Scottish Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. Scotland the Brave was sung several times, and Salmond himself showed up and enacted an 80% tax rate on the rich and banned air rifles across the country.
