But getting stabbed is a real possibility.

Knife crime in London is out of control despite promises by the Gov to tackle it.

Not sure what you mean by 'hollowing out'?

 

The US surpassed the UK as the world's foremost economic power over 100 years ago. China and India's economies have also now overtaken the UK's and will, no doubt, overtake the EU's in time.

 

Nevertheless by most criteria, the overwhelming majority of countries in Western Europe remain affordable and good places to live for the majority of the population. However there are, no doubt, some individuals/ groups experiencing difficulties, and imo it is a mark of a society's civility how we deal with these unfortunate individuals.

That is because you are not from there yourself, but because of the EU, things have not improved in all those countries, and I am not just talking about the economy there, such as Germany where car factories have to lay off many people, or the energy supply in many European countries, which are no longer affordable both for companies but especially for the population, and last but not least the import of all those so-called refugees, which on closer inspection are not refugees and give nothing but misery.

Wads is hardcore.

 

Could've just as easily been welcomed into Canada (or Australia) with sweets and fresh flowers as into the UK.

Another fallacy.

 

Stabbings in the UK are, fortunately, relatively rare events, are largely confined to the big cities and are more often than not, the result of gang violence: That's why when they do occur, the event makes the news.

 

Only 9 countries in the world where you have less chance of getting stabbed to death per head of population than the UK.

Ok,lets just say,you have a much higher chance of being stabbed in Britain today than 10 years ago.

Not from where? I was born and raised in South London and have lived or worked in a number of EU countries so, by those criteria, I'd say that I'm more qualified than most - probably including yourself -to comment on these matters.

 

It's nonsense to suggest that no countries have benefitted from the EU (or its' predecessors). For example, by almost any criteria, things in the former Warsaw Pact nations have greatly improved since they joined the EU. Going further back, the ECSC helped ensure that the regular, centuries old dust-ups between France and Germany became a thing of the past.

 

Germany's economic problems are mainly structural and, if there is blame to assign, it rests with successive German governments not the EU: Likewise, Merkel's well-meaning, but ill conceived 'open doors' policy regarding refugees, was a German government decision not the EU's, albeit the rest of Europe are dealing with the consequences.

 

Although the EU lays down targets wrt energy - targets agreed to by the member states - energy policy and strategy are largely the responsibility of the individual EU states.

I apologise for that, I was under the impression that you are an American, with the other I totally disagree with you, and for you to qualify me with contempt is also not neat.
Other than that, you won't get any comments from me on this.
Greetings.

Firstly he was arrested upon being identified, which he made easy with his dumb social media posts, as an undercover IS operative he is an idiot

 

Secondly he was posting for a long time whilst in France awaiting his "transport" so why didn't the French arrest him?

I'll admit that I was irritated by your previous post, but I don't see anything contemptuous in my reply. I'm sorry if you saw it otherwise.

 

If you are suggesting that those who have little recent experience of living in a country are less qualified to pass opinion on day-to-day life there than those who have/ do, then I would agree with you.

 

All the best.
