Albania has a relatively high life expectancy and level of education, with most Albanians being polyglot.

It has low levels of violent crime and of corruption.

I think you are caught up in the hysteria.
No deal is deliberately provocative language. It would be leaving on WTO terms as an absolute worst case.

An EU nation can still veto an extension, if for example, they dont want our MEPs taking their seats.

The EU also dont want to put their citizens at risk or explain why they are taking a course that's damaging for it's own fragile economies simply to save face. That will not go down well with the electorate.

What will happen in my view, is that we'll get very close to leaving on WTO terms, then strike a deal where both parties agree to keep the status quo for now, in line with the repeal act, then slowly diverge over time.


Agreed, but MPs need to let that course of action happen rather than messing about with their own agendas.

Maybe that is because they export all their criminals.

Firstly, I'm not a socialist. Secondly, wage slaves are the reality of globalisation, which in my view is an inevitability and feel free to fight against it but you'll lose. Ergo the need for low paid jobs to be filled by immigrants is nothing new, and will continue to be the standard until automation takes over.

You make paying our 'own people' a better wage seem as simple as flicking a light switch. Firstly, who are our 'own people'. Lets for simplicity say people who were born here. Then just stop and think about the complexity of that. If we kicked out all non-brits tomorrow, and raised the pay to a level that would be acceptable to resident labour, how much debt would that accrue? How much money would need to be set aside to subsidise said wages to ensure our businesses remained competitive? and so on and so on. Don't make out these things are easy.

Re. the horses – I agree, but facts are facts. Not everyone in the EU has employment issues. Quite the opposite. So don't pass it off as though every country is affected. If the point had been worded differently the reply would not have been necessary – eg unemployment is high in the eastern bloc countries which is causing problems in more affluent western ones etc. etc.


WTF is this?

"the need for low paid jobs to be filled by immigrants is nothing new"

Of course it is. How can you even argue that? What did we do before mass immigration?

"Lets for simplicity say people who were born here. Then just stop and think about the complexity of that. If we kicked out all non-brits tomorrow"

Where the phuck did you get that from? I'm talking about stopping mass immigration not mass deportation although there are some that clearly shouldn't be here.

"...raised the pay to a level that would be acceptable to resident labour, how much debt would that accrue? How much money would need to be set aside to subsidise said wages"

Why do you assume that would acrue debt? Would some of that additional money not make it straight back into the economy? It's obviously what the left would dismiss as a "trope" but at the moment we have people working like dogs and connot afford a family or a home in order to support large numbers of immigrants that are a drain on our social care e.g. families on low pay or no pay with large numbers of children. What happens when automation kicks in and these people are dicarded? It's already happening. We already have huge numbers of old people, the mentally ill, former serviceman etc who are suffering directly because of this. Due to "positive descrimitation" they are at the back of the queue. We need to look after our own in order to help otrhers in the world. At the moment we are faced with descending into chaos. Could you imagine people like Corbyn and McDonald being anywhere near power a few years ago? I mean Communism FFS!?

I run a small AirBnb here and many of our visitors come from Europe. I have never heard one of them say that they think Brexit is a good idea. They all think it's a bizarre idea and genuinely fail to understand why anyone would deliberately hurt their economy in this way.

The same applies to our visitors from further afield, and especially those from Australia.

The only ones we get who are in favour are those British people who chunter on with the same kind of tedious arguments heard on here.

What amazes me is how some foreign born folk understand and value the British system of democracy better than many who were born and live here.

this is what will happen if we do remain in the EU... read it and weep all you Remoaners.

LISBON TREATY


1: The UK along with all existing members of the EU lose their abstention veto in 2020 as laid down in the Lisbon Treaty when the system changes to that of majority acceptance with no abstentions or veto’s being allowed.
2: All member nations will become states of the new federal nation of the EU by 2022 as clearly laid out in the Lisbon treaty with no exceptions or veto’s.
3: All member states must adopt the Euro by 2022 and any new member state must do so within 2 years of joining the EU as laid down in the Lisbon treaty.
4: The London stock exchange will move to Frankfurt in 2020 and be integrated into the EU stock exchange resulting in a loss of 200,000 plus jobs in the UK because of the relocation. (This has already been pre-agreed and is only on a holding pattern due to the Brexit negotiations, which if Brexit does happen, the move is fully cancelled - but if not and the UK remains a member it’s full steam ahead for the move.)
5: The EU Parliament and ECJ become supreme over all legislative bodies of the UK.
6: The UK will adopt 100% of whatever the EU Parliament and ECJ lays down without any means of abstention or veto, negating the need for the UK to have the Lords or even the Commons as we know it today.
7: The UK will NOT be able to make its own trade deals.
8: The UK will NOT be able to set its own trade tariffs.
9 The UK will NOT be able to set its own trade quotas.
10: The UK loses control of its fishing rights
11: The UK loses control of its oil and gas rights
12: The UK loses control of its borders and enters the Schengen region by 2022 - as clearly laid down in the Lisbon treaty
13: The UK loses control of its planning legislation
14: The UK loses control of its armed forces including its nuclear deterrent
15: The UK loses full control of its taxation policy
16: The UK loses the ability to create its own laws and to implement them
17: The UK loses its standing in the Commonwealths
18: The UK loses control of any provinces or affiliated nations e.g.: Falklands, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar etc
19: The UK loses control of its judicial system
20: The UK loses control of its international policy
21: The UK loses full control of its national policy
22: The UK loses its right to call itself a nation in its own right.
23: The UK loses control of its space exploration program
24: The UK loses control of its Aviation and Sea lane jurisdiction
25: The UK loses its rebate in 2020 as laid down in the Lisbon treaty
26: The UK’s contribution to the EU is set to increase by an average of 1.2bn pa and by 2.3bn pa by 2020

This is the future that the youths of today think we stole from them?
They should be on their knees thanking us for saving them from being turned into Orwellian automatons!
Forget Deals no deals its time for remainers and brexiteers to unite and see whats coming before its to late. This is the whole reason they are dragging brexit out. So we can get to 2020 then we have no choices anymore.

The choice is yours..........

He's intellectually honest, whether we agree with him or not, and personally I think that's something to value on here.

For me the economic argument, even if we agreed with SW19 about cheap labour, it just isn't anywhere near enough to remain in this form of EU.

If the UK doesn't leave now.....it won't be getting an opportunity again....people need to realise that.

Also, via demographic change, even if they were somehow allowed a say on membership the number of those whose allegiance was weighted towards the home country rather than the EU collective would be lower.

We need Brexit to re-emphasize British isles independence from the models that EU philes have been selling these last twenty years.

Even if you spoil the paper you must make the effort.
