No, but Europhiles within successive governments have done. Lying Tony Blair and socialists were only too pleased to nurture generations of a benefit-reliant populace. Closet socialists like Cameron were too.
Eastern Europeans replaced those UK worker national resources with imported wage slaves, all in support of their precious EU Freedom of Movement principles.
It was win - win for them, two sectors of society who would usually be Labour supporters. And they could rub the real conservatives’ noses in it.
The cream on top for the metropolitans came with cheaper and compliant home help, tradesmen, and staff for their businesses.
Well that’s all over now.
I am confused. Didn't BoJo announce an increase in benefits?

Thank you for your irrelevant comment. The post I replied to was about "indigenous sloth".

All a bit foggy for now
And whole thing we discuss is hypothetical until it becomes a law in U.K. with possible " mirror effect" from E.U. ...
As far as I understand, rules for non-EU citizen concerning residence and work permits are made at the country level. It may or may not include language requirements, but it is usually more like a bonus: if you speak the language you are more likely to be accepted than if you don't.
So after Brexit, unless there is a special agreement at the EU or country level, UK citizen will be in the same situation as, say, Chinese citizen.
A key issue is that the EU is unlikely to accept discrimination among EU citizen according to country origin, i.e. let French or German citizen in, and not Polish citizen.

Benefits policy has never been decided by the EU.

It seems employers will need to adjust much: change labour policy, change customers, change supply chain.... what next? Change location?

I just checked it. Actually, there is already an EU directive on hate speech from 2018, building on previous member states' regulations, among others.
So the issue at stake is wether Facebook should be held responsible, or only the author of the speech.

Sounds glorious ????.
I'll stick with Freedom of Speech thanks. You can let the media, human rights organizations, European MP's, the EU commission and the European Court of Human Rights decide what you can and cannot say.
In most democratic countries, there is already a regulation against hate speech. The EU regulation will not change much about it.
The issue here is not so much about regulating hate speech, It's more about holding Facebook responsible or not. In clear: when hate speech regulations are enfreigned, should Facebook be held responsible, or only the author (poster) of the speech?

Also, how are they elected and removed from office by citizens of the EU if said citizens are not happy with their performance.
Much thanks.
It certainly doesn't work in the way he thinks it does.
Here's a summary on how decisions are made
https://europa.eu/european-union/eu-law/decision-making/procedures_en
On such issues it would involve consultation of human rights organisations, media, member states, etc.. Then voted/amended by the Council of elected governments, then by elected European MPs.
In case of alleged abuse, an appeal can be made to the European Court of Human Rights.

Actually the regime that persecuted Niemöller was founded in lies, misinformation and hate.
Which Facebook plays a significant role in spreading.
Exactly. The Jews would certainly have welcomed a law against hate speech in German media at that time.

The point is who gets to decide what's the "correct" opinion to have? An unelected EU official? No thanks.
These leftists trying to ban/deplatform any opinion that differs from their own is getting old.
As mentioned by Chomper, you have no idea of how the EU works.

Trump is attempting to Putinize the American judicial system, and make it far closer to a King's Bench system, or an imperial system. Or even worse, and naked theft of law and order, as already accomplished by King Vlad. Barr is an accessory to that, and does not deserve his position. He is an impostor. One can only hope he is pressured into resigning. But, that would be the right thing to do, and you can never count on Bill Barr to do the right thing. It is just not who he has been, since his conversion as a full fledged devotee of the false master.
If Barr resigns, the next one will be similar or worse. At least, Barr is smart enough to avoid bearing any significant risk just to please Trump.

I don't think you understand. Chiphigh believes that when a Trump supporter is found guilty, that's an injustice. And when a non Trump supporter isn't indicted, that's also an injustice.
You summarised it quite nicely.

So what? He did not forbid any 'leave' referendum anywhere, right?
Austria could have done it, if it had wished so.
On top of it, the topic is outmoded. There has been only a short-lived surge of interest for leaving around the time of the Brexit referendum (Austria, Brexit, etc...). Juncker's comments would be irrelevant now.

Yes, thats correct .
I do believe that there was a massacre in Africa last week and theres been atrocities in Yemen , Rohinga been massacred in Myanmar .
Lets all ignore that and try to get Israel prosecuted on Trumped up charges .
So, yes, can be classed as antisemitism when you only focus on a Jewish state and unconcerned about anywhere else
Do spare me the usual *I am concerned about other Countries as well*
Except that what your assumptions are not true as concerns the ICC, despite obvious limitations to its scope of jurisdiction.
ICC judges authorise opening of an investigation into the situation in Bangladesh/Myanmar
https://www.icc-cpi.int/Pages/item.aspx?name=pr1495
It can be also noticed that a lot of cases so far were about Africa and involved Muslim perpetrators.

So you agree that all EU countries should have a referendum on staying or leaving. One every 5 years?
How about the EU respecting the ones they have had first.
It is a matter for member states, not the EU. Nothing prevents them from doing it, just as UK did.
