Eu Commission, Why Don't We Have Top Drawer Commissioners?
6 Answers
Just watching Paxo's program about the EU. Other states send their best to get a good deal for them, who do we send? Losers like Mandy, Patten and of course the WWB Kinnochio. Our current commisioner? Jonathan Hill? F_F_S!

I forgot to add that our current Commissioner, Jonathon "Baron Hill of Oareford" Hill could not be considered even a failed politician in the traditional sense. He has never troubled to put himself through the tiresome process of being elected by the ordinary people.
After Highate School anad Cambridge (MA in History) He worked in the Conservative Research Department (1985–86), before becoming a Special Adviser to Kenneth Clarke (arch Euromaniac) at the Department of Employment, Department of Trade and Industry and Department of Health until 1989. After working for Lowe Bell Communications (1989–91), he joined the Number 10 Policy Unit (1991–92) and served as Political Secretary to PM John Major and Head of the Prime Minister's Political Office (1992–94) during the Maastricht Treaty negotiations. He was appointed CBE in the 1995 New Year Honours List. Subsequently, Hill worked at Bell Pottinger Group from 1994 until 1998 as a senior consultant, before leaving to become a founding director of Quiller Consultants. On 27 May 2010, he was created a Life Peer as Baron Hill of Oareford, of Oareford, in the County of Somerset, and was introduced to the House of Lords on the same day, taking office as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Schools in the Department for Education.
He is now the EU Commissioner for "Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union". So as well as asking who he is, you may well ask what it is he does.
