The UK is not part of the Euro Zone, and as such has not been bailing out Greece, and is not stuck bailing out Greece if it stays in the EU.
You are missing the point entirely. You do not speak for any one else.
It makes you seem odd that you would assume otherwise, not least because you have no constituency and people do prefer to speak for themselves.
meh. Sorry to burst your left wing bubble, but it’s an established fact that a very large percentage (a majority in fact) of the migrants which came to Europe in 2015 were not from Syria. Afghanistan, Eritrea, Bangladesh, Iraq, Pakistan, Nigeria have been other large source countries. It is another established fact that a very large percentage (30% according to German numbers) of those claiming to be from Syria are lying. That you are unaware of these simple facts lost you all credibility on the subject.
I think that at 330,000 we are both agreed the figure is far to high and needs to be brought under control. You failed to comment on my statement that by reducing the number of economic migrants we could do more for Genuine refugees
I love what is happening to the Labour Party it shows that they are evolving into a party in opposition for far to long there has been no debate within Labour which has contributed to much of their problems, I think that they will elect a new leader by the end of this year and that some workable socialist policies will emerge, some of the idea’s flying around at present are un-workable but that is where the debate comes in
So are you bursting his bubble by saying people coming from Iraq, Afghanistan and Nigeria are indeed just economic migrants?
Where did Gyrate say that?
Sadly this is a proven point they are not settling in the first safe country that they come to. France is a safe and prosperous country Why do those in the so called Jungle camp keep insisting on coming to England when they can register in France?
To be honest I was not necessarily advocating the cutting of red tape. My point was that Brexit will probably be neutral to the City of London. What it loses in one way it will likely gain in another. Where that gain comes from no-one yet knows. I simply used cutting red tape as an example of theoretically how greater profits can be found from a Brexit.
If France is prosperous how is your fact proven that they are economic migrants in wanting to come to the UK?
If they are already in a safe country where they can register why haven’t they? By not doing so they have categorised themselves as economic migrants
Think a little harder and try again.
LOL. Don’t encourage him.
Let’s not forget that, before Nigel, Boris Johnson also rose to prominence due to BBC overexposure - most notably on “Have I Got News For You”. And at the moment the “funny conservative politician of choice” of HIGNFY appears to be Jacob Rees-Mogg. Name a Labour politician who’s had that sort of bump.
I…have no idea what this would look like, unless you mean something like “The Gathering Storm”. Give me an example of a drama that showed some other party in a “positive light” for comparison so I know what you mean.
I think you are subtly misrepresenting the career of Boris Johnson and his early relationship with the BBC. Johnson was for many years a journalist not a politician. It was as a journalist he began to get regular, and successful, gigs on HIGNFY.
Ukip = tea party
Daily mail = fox news
Britain will stay in the EU. Its the small c conservative thing to do.
Also Corbyn.
by putting some distance back between the parties, he makes the moderating effect of the EU more attractive.
That statement itself speaks volumes.
I don’t watch much TV. One example I do recall: an episode of the Archers (I was visiting my mother), perhaps a decade ago, where they drooled over and eulogised the then Labour government’s just-announced (so the script-writers had the policies before they were announced) agricultural policies.
then why are they seeking rich countries, instead of close safe havens where they can return once the war has ended? These are most definitely economic immigrants, using refugee status.
Will Britain leave? It’s hard to say at this point. Doing so will involve a leap into the unknown, to some extent, as no other EU member state has so far done so. Some of us will vote for it anyway regardless of the predictions about what would/would not happen. And some will weigh up the arguments and come to a decision based on their perception of where their better interest lies.
The arguments for and against are essentially the same ones as those over the Scottish breakaway vote last year.
“leap into the unknown”? Hardly. From the UK’s earliest beginning to 1973 it was not a member.
