    Could it be that a small majority of the UK population has realized the truth behind the EU?No automatic alt text available.

    Scam?

    That is exactly the goal.

    A united europe with russia.

    As opposed to the usa, china and soon also india.  

    The fight for the limited resources is in full swing on this overpopulated planet. The small single states will sink into insignificance.

    Interesting reading today about the Eastern Bloc EU countries on there stance about accepting asylum seekers and economic migrants. Seems like a one way street sometimes, maybe a 2nd referendum is a good idea to clear up once and for all that the majority of the UK that vote prefer to exit.

    How exactly the brexit looks like, until today - nobody knows.

     

    But would be good to make a referendum after the negotiations, after all the details are clear. Then people could vote about something concrete. 

     

    At the moment, there is not even a clear line among the Brexitians. Fact.

    Are you making this up as you go along, the EU also stated that a swede may be called a turnip as long as it's in a Cornish pasty. Can you catagorically say, with your hand on your heart that these rules/directives are so trite they are totally unbelievable, only a numpty would think otherwise. :sorry:

    Yes, the normal citizen can only shake his head. Behind the regulations are the huge international companies with their interests. And the big companies from the uk are also present in the frontline.

    Fortunately, you can still buy crooked cucumbers from your local farmer or grow them yourself.

    I can't remember the British being too bothered about bendy bananas and curved cucumbers before we joined the common market, infact we always thought that these fruits were of a curved structure anyway. The EU ruling on cucumbers states that they "Under the present regulations, Class 1 cucumbers must be "practically straight" and be bent by a gradient of no more than 1/10." Now correct me if I'm wrong but don't you think that this is a tad over the top? And as to the EU rulings, we will fight them on the peaches!

    Ask your big uk food traders what sales shelf conformity means.

    You complain about the eu regulations, but ignore completely that these have also arisen with the cooperation of the uk.

     

    Btw: the first banana regulation is from 1993, the uk was long time before a member of the eu.

    What's your take on misshaped bananas, are they more likely to get caught in the osaphagus on the way down? Are straight bananas a less of an health and safety risk? :cheesy:

    You mean the banana market regulation or better "common market organization for bananas, GMO"?Since then, there are three types of bananas for the administration. Community bananas come directly from an EU country. ACP bananas are bananas grown in Africa, the Caribbean or the Pacific. These are mostly former colonies of France and Great Britain, which have joined together in the Lomé Convention.

     

    It was especially the UK, which made itself strong for this regulation to keep their bananas competitive.

     

    As you can see this funny Banana regulation was largely originated in the homoristic UK.

    :stoner:

    Yes for real, and children under 8 should be supervised when blowing balloons up, how much do these people get paid for making stupid rules up?

    It is obvious that you do not know what RAPEX messages are and how the product safety laws are implemented within the EU.

    In the EU, about 2,500 products (types) are withdrawn from the market each year, where there is a risk of suffocation, strangulation, electrocution, etc.

    Over 30 per cent were toys.

    Over 65 per cent were goods from china.

    When you look at the one balloon example isolated, it looks ridiculous.

    But if you see the other withdrawn

    2499 life-threatening products, you would assess the work of the EU in terms of product safety differently.

    What a stupid article.

    1.The UK is currently still in the EU.

    The numbers are from 2016.

    The exporting uk companies can currently buy all construction components customs and barrier

    free from all eu countrys, import into the uk, assemble and sell to the non eu countrys abroad.

     

    2. The eu does not prohibit the uk at any time from exporting its products to non-EU countries (exception: weapons deliveries in war zones).

    On the contrary. The eu helps with promotion programs, research aids and technological data exchange to promote the export power to non eu countrys.

     

    3. Bad article also, since no word about the imports and the net saldo. This is as a doctor comes to a patient without arms and legs, looking in his healthy eyes, with the result: You are the flowering life.

     

    4.Sorry, but the information supply for pro brexiteers is really scary here.

  8. When the Eastern bloc decayed, the Eastern European countries have retained their sovereignty. Then all Eastern European countries wanted to enter the EU as soon as possible. Now these countries notice that their sovereignty is limited again.
    Nothing against help for real war refugees. A temporary stay can be granted here.
    When the danger to life in these war countries is over, a return should take place.

    In fact, a sneaky naturalization is carried out by the back door.
    What now comes with ships illegally to Europe are 95% economic refugees.
    Merkel and Co can not play Mother Teresa here and continue to invite all africa and the middle east to Europe.

    Import cheap workers, that is silly, with  youth unemployment rates of 20-30% in the southern EU countries ( Greece, Italy, Spain).
    I wonder that the other EU Member States not stronger fight against Merkel's wrong immigration policy.

    As a precaution, I have a look at property in Budapest.
    Fortunately, I can buy and stay there as an EU member, if the shit hit the fan in my home country.
    I prefer Thailand, but it is always better to have some options.
