You are so blind that you cannot see that it is these problems that are going to ultimately destroy the EU. 10 minutes ago, The Renegade said: It matters not that poverty, homelessness, rampant youth employment, hidden debt and all sorts of other nasties are lurking about just under the surface. These are more EZ specific problems than EU problems. But if the EZ goes, so does the whole EU. Edited June 7, 2018 by The Renegade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are more EZ problems than EU problems. Well the UK is still a part of it and by the looks of things will remain so but thanks to leavers probably without a voice at the table and when we inevitably rejoin as a full member without a rebate and without the pound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both now and in the future. How do UK politicians benefit from being in the EU? And if it is good for them, why is it not good for me? Apart from the benefit of being part of a large and prosperous economy, obviously, and the reduction of the likelihood of another war in Europe, freedom of movement etc. In fact, politicans don't benefit very much from freedom of employment, because I don't think having served a sentence in the House of Commons would stand you in good stead for a job in Europe, except perhaps in Brussels but as a British representative, so, as far as I am aware, employed in Britain in any case.

What is the point of leaving if the status quo remains for at least two or three years. If Corbyn and his acolytes stymie the current bid to remain in the EEA/SM/CU he will betray the very people Labour are supposed to represent And it was all going to be so easy.LMAO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the ‘populist’ parties that have seen a surge in support have been campaigning against uncontrolled immigration, and monetary policies that have seen the implosion of the economies of the Southern European members, leaving them with 30% youth unemployment as a result. They all seem to hold the EU responsible for these problems, even if you wish to remain in denial. I'm not going to respond to all of that, I have things to do. But 1) I don't think the UK has suffered much from a tidal wave of asylum seekers or many migrants from ME or N Africa compared to many other countries 2) Look up gini coefficients and look at inequality over time. Look at typical EU pensions and unemployment benefits 3) Look at EU housing and the strong rental sector 4) Who was the queen of monetarism and who was her chief advisor?

Often it's the early immigrants complaining about the later ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert the Bruce invaded Ireland, didn't do him any good he was defeated by the English/Irish army and his brother was killed, put an Irishman on the spit and you will always find another Irishman to turn him. Irish rebellion, put down, potato famine, mass emigration, another rebellion, Churchill sends in the black and tans to no avail, division of Ireland, IRA, the troubles, good friday agreement, EU membership, peace and harmony, brexit, the Irish border problem, history of Ireland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post phetpeter Posted June 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2018 The only problem is the time its taking to leave, Just shut the door, tell them to whistle for the cash, and tell the buggers leave and you wont be let back if you don't have a tax paying job or are sponging with free housing and dole money. 18 months later new deals will be in place, and UK will be happy again, You really think EU countries won't work with the UK, or except out workers and holiday makers? Refuse to do business? Not a chance, in fact the only reason its dragging on is the EU is scared other members will start to leave, if they don't make it seem differcult to leave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
