Most MEPs and UK MEPs are honest and, among the few that aren't,  I doubt that there are any more 'bad apples' in Brussels compared to Westminster.

Most are corrupt, it should be a death penalty and confiscation of all assets for all civil servants , they wouldn’t do it again

From the post we have seen here, I don't think the man in the street of Belgium has any idea of what goes on around him anyway. This one is oblivious to anything anyway. Can't he even find his way to the Belgian Social Security office. Is it really so good for everybody?

Good for everybody is impossible to archive,

plus it is a very relative concept.

So, I am afraid Belgium isn't different than any other country worldwide in that matter.

 

And as written in the article, many of the homeless are migrants.

 

But what I, and many others, just want is that our live continue to be like it was before the E.U., like it is now as being a member of the U.E.,

and maybe in the future a member of the U.S.G..

However, you deserve an answer. Ok 1 million out of a population of close to 450 million EU citizens is of course much. However, due to the free work and free movement inside EU, they will have a greater chance to find new occupation by looking at a wider area.

When you look at UK the UK population with about 68 million citizens, and that there is losses already of over 750 000 jobs. That as well as a very high risk of close to a million more jobs to go away. Yeah, then I think you realize who draw the shorter stick in this game. ????

 

You are confusing the effects of Brexit with those of the WuFlu and this error makes your claims and numbers even more ridiculous than they already are .

When you want to do business with the EU , it must be according the laws of the EU, and when disputes, under the courts of the EU. As with any country. Only the British still think, Britannia does not only rule the waves, but also the land around it.

 

If that was true the EU would not be 'doing business' with anyone outside it.

Do you care about the 1 million EU citizens that will lose their jobs if it's a 'no deal', it seems your intense dislike of the British over-rides your concern for the welfare of your fellow EU members.

 

Those who are at the most risk of losing their jobs in a no deal Brexit are British!

 

1.2 million jobs to be lost in Europe with no-deal Brexit

Quote

The UK, inevitably, would suffer the most with 500,000 job losses

 It seems your intense dislike of the EU overrides your concern for the welfare of your fellow British citizens!

 Typical response from you both and your fellow travellers.

 

Vogie, you made a mistake and accused a poster of saying something which he didn't. As usual you refused to accept that and made a fool of yourself in your attempts to deny it.

 

Now you have resorted to the ignore list option so beloved of you lot when you cannot refute arguments made by others!

Is this is 'baiting direct' you have had two baiting posts at me now, are you shocked that other posters have enough of you now and refuse to play your games. Making libelous remarks about my concern of my fellow British citizens is a total lie and IMO you have made it to fuel the fire. How you get away with your caustic posts is a total mystery to us all I'm sure, but you do, which gives you an unfare advantage over the rest of us, that is the reason I don't want to exchange dialogue with you. Have a lovely evening.

And btw I know how many nations there are, but failed to find the NI flag.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion; but don't talk about how we here in the UK will be effected by Brexit when you won't feel those effects yourself!

Baiting? No, simply pointing out that the UK will suffer most from a no deal Brexit; using the same forecast that you did!

 

My turning your "it seems your intense dislike of the British over-rides your concern for the welfare of your fellow EU members" remark back on you is no more libellous than when you first made it

Please list the fiscal benefits which Brexit will deliver.

I mean actual benefits, not just some tired slogan or buzzword. Give us links to costed estimates showing how the UK will be better off.

Blue passports (printed in Poland) and calls of sovereignty (an abstract entity) will not count.

I'm amused every time I remember your numerous risible posts of 'news' which could only have come from QAnon. Such as humiliating yourself with your prediction of an event of global significance happening within walking distance of my front door!

Sky still about to fall in for the usual lot I see, Keep up with the whining and bleating, not long to go now, just 65 days or so... 

Well Barmier is staying in London for a few more days so a few more headlines this week then itll trip over into the following week, around first week in November. Personally I think Boris and everyone else in Europe are awaiting the US election results. It is neither a coincidence or insignificant that negotiations were/are concluding around the same time as the US POTUS election. It should and will have an impact on stance by both the UK and EU if negotiations are still incomplete. 

 

A faster and free trade deal is more likely between the UK and the US if Trump wins than with Biden who has made it clear he is EU bias ....A Trump win would support a more inflexible stance by Boris in favour of US trade value and a Biden win the reverse and flavors the EU.

 

The Anglophere isnt done just quite yet methinks. 

 

All fascinating stuff.

Yeah that is what the newspaper printed ....he is afraid Biden could / would win ...and that one is not liking Boris's brexit ...hence no U.S - U..K. deal as the big Irish lobby  support the peace treaty which is endangered by Boris treaty breaking bill....

He is in trouble for now ...untill USA election result....

The EU takes a cut of VAT and customs duties in the UK, in addition to our main contributions. The EU also sets minimum VAT rates for all member states.

 

The EU took £5.8bn from VAT & duties paid by UK consumers on goods & services in 2018. As such an avid EU fan, I thought you might have known that.

Right I am with you now.

OK so we are looking at two possible scenarios for Brexit. Either a deal whereby we retain access to the single market or no deal.

If we get a deal then those VAT and customs duties will remain in place therefor resulting in no financial benefit from Brexit.

If on the other hand we leave with no deal then those payments will no longer be made to the EU. We will however have to make payments to the WTO. Then we will have to pay tariffs on all the stuff we get from the EU. So all in all no financial benefit from Brexit.

You've got me - and I suspect many others who give a thought about the homeless - wrong with your stereotype: I don't much care for champagne. Socialist? In many ways, I'd like to plead 'Guilty', but no. Ivory Towers? I'm not living the high life, but doing ok. Islington? 'Wrong' side of the river.

 

Given that you're so clued up about 

 homelessness, why not post the solution here?
