So it is, and really the UK should quietly drop it.

To think that is still an option says a lot for the EU.

Looking at our position with this 'deal' why would any country do anything so daft, and 'no deal' is a non-runner due to the chaos.


What is the matter with you?

It's never going away.

The way Europe has negotiated tells you all you need to know.
They want us in for their interests, not ours.

If it's no deal, then so be it.

I don't think they are now. It's membership is back to its near 'hey day' and increasing.

Yes because it shows freedom of movement works well for the EU, its benefits our economy by 4bn

As already mentioned in an earlier post, studies have shown that EU migrant contribution in terms of money put in and taken out is negligible.

So now you care about is GDP? As a Marxist, what about the impact on the government-run public services you adore so much?

How abut the poor and working class you care about so much about having to deal with lack of jobs and wage deflation?

You don't even realise that the people who go on the pro EU marches are actually lobbying for Goldman Sachs and all the large banks and corporations.

It's all why real socialists like Tony Benn and Jeremy Corbyn (up til he recently towed the Labour party line) objected to the EU.

The collective cost of immigration is highly negative economically.

Only EU immigration comes out at a small benefit......and an aspect of that is because less of them settle long term because more EU citizens go back to their home countries....not all but more.

Hardly anyone outside of non EU countries go back.

Perhaps that would have been the case if Nigel Farage was still leading the party but I don't see it happening any more

I've worked abroad myself and am actually pro immigration. Irrespective of EU migrants having a negligible benefit to the public purse, the UK government should decide its immigration policy – not a foreign parliament.

And if there is a net financial gain, if the money is not put in to extra schools, hospitals and houses, then that makes us WORSE off.

PLUS, EU migrants have caused wage deflation to low-skilled workers.

In effect, that is what EU would become next March, a foreign parliament controlling the UK without the UK having any say.

That is what is actually happening by leaving, handing over control to the EU.

That article doesn't say anything other than they are slightly sceptical about the numbers.

You cannot argue eu migration has no negligible benefit when there are hard facts and stats that say they are of huge benefit

'Full Fact' are left wing idealogs.

The reality that the collective impact of immigration into the Uk was significantly more expensive than any small EU effect must have really irritated them.

You can get a sense of that in how they reported it.

Hence their disclaimer which has no significant argument against the findings they reported on.

Your source is a blog written by a pro EU journalist!

If you don't agree offer some evidence that supports a different theory. All we seem to get on the right is hot air and lies
