Yes really, probably the worst attempt at an analogy I've ever read.
Oh go away
I'm 50 years old and this particular topic has been discussed for years at loads of summits so yeah, i believe when i see.
And yes, contracts are worthless so if you want to pigeon hole me go for it
Let's hope you don't post any eh.
It'll turn around. The expats will send money home which will see Lithuania grow quicker than locking all the people in the nation, this will in turn mean there is less incentive to move abroad for work
Contracts are worthless if the humans who sign them are so themselves. Other than that contracts are still the best way to formulate an agreement, and to hold the other side to that agreement.
An Anti-emigration party - I think we call that communism right?
You know what Lithuania could do to help their own problems whilst also helping the rest of World don't you? instead of anti-emigration they should be looking at pro-immigration from outside the EU... so simple it's mind boggling that so many these days are looking inwards rather than outwards. I'm starting to believe that ISIS have won already.
And to be fair to the EU, lots of Lithuanians will be sending money home, and in the main, the EU is an attempt to balance out the economies of the member states, that's where that £350 million "NHS money" is going.
Quite a few on that side went with that line (though not when talking to people generally worried about immigration, of course). They rarely acknowledged that non-EU migration has long been higher than EU migration.
First sentence spot-on
Unless there is no intention to restore presently paid monies to the Treasury (which, the principle at hand is still valid at heart.
When a leading Remain campaigner tells voters on national television that Brexit will leave them with no workers' rights and no parental leave, i consider it to be a more disgraceful deceit of the electorate. Presumably you were on board with such messaging?
Corbyn is responding to George Osborne, the then chancellor, who was responsible for repeated lies and deception throughout the campaign (from recession to emergency budgets).
As for the IMF, the Guardian's economic editor said that they had been left 'shamefaced' by events.
You appear to be working under the assumption that all of these economic predictions were made in good faith, a concept which i find rather quaint to say the least. Did you actually read any of the financial reports yourself might i ask?
Yes, i am the poster who linked to a Vote Leave policy framework aired on Sky News, in which the NHS commitment was lowered to £100m per week. They also had the 350m figure, which was wrong.
It is both, although the scale and pace of the reduction has to be gone about in a manner which is practical. Net EU immigration is approaching parity with that from the rest of the world; it is neither racist nor the new dawn of fascism to reduce that number significantly over a specified period. The results of a decline in European migration can be directed into three categories: replaced by British workers, replaced by non-EU, and increased flexibility when responding to humanitarian crises.
Brexit is a generational move, much like our earlier entry into the European Union itself. We are talking about the future policies of eight governments, and not merely those in power today.

Remember that these Baltic States have been independent for just over 20 years after long periods of Russian dominance and feel their position is very precarious with a huge ultra-nationalist neighbour nextdoor with a convenient Russian minorities pretext for intervention. Their cultural identities have similarly been subsumed behind Russian, German or (for Lithuania) Polish influence. To expect them to shrug their shoulders at a huge outflow of their brightest and best and compensate by opening the gates to unskilled Islamic labour from the Middle East and North Africa is a little bit unrealistic.
Funny, the government have yet to give public any insight in to their plans for a U.K. post Brexit, yet @Nick 0208 Ldn seems already know how things are going to work out for the U.K. post Brexit. Amazing!
Are you referring to my remarks on immigration policy? They are my beliefs on the matter, and what i see as realistic in a strong/hard Brexit. Such considerations will be part of my voting choices in the years ahead.
Heard some blokes I was behind talking about Brexit, still believe that 350mill is going to the NHS -.-
Heard some blokes I was behind talking about Brexit, still believe that ww3 and locusts are on the way -.-
I know you don't seem to care much for foreigners just like too many people who voted for Brexit. And, yes, I think you're xenophobic and intolerant. I think there is a far too large part of British, Dutch and US society who are xenophobic and intolerant from all sides and religions.
I'm very concerned at what the future holds. It wasn't so long ago when the World suffered the consequences of what happens when xenophobia, intolerance and nationalism are allowed to rear their ugly heads. God help our children.
The EU reform plans are a joke. It's about time that the EU, and society in general, remember why the EU was started in the first place. The EU should do more to combat xenophobia and intolerance!
Baseless and prejudice driven slurs, tsk tsk. And you're a Remainer too.
Nobody's perfect, everybody is prejudiced for time to time. It is human nature to be frightened and/or wary of people who are different because of their culture, religion, skin color, etc. We are social animals and we all feel the need to belong.
This does not make predjudism right however. It is important to remember that predjudism is a dangerous irrational emotion and what the dangers are if we let ourselves lead by such emotions. That's why I think people voted for Brexit for all the wrong reasons.
Again I emphasize the dangers when xenophobia and intolerance become acceptable in society.
Did you see what Damien Green said this morning with regards to the gig economy? He's excited at the prospect of people loosing holiday and sick pay and steady work. These tories won't do anything to protect those rights
You mean like rutte telling people to fukk off back to their own country? Snazy
on current voting patterns you can add Poland and Austria to that list. Also in France and even Germany anti immigration parties gaining a lot of support....
how would you do this?
You are assuming people voted against on one topic
I think Rutte is an absolute tw@t! The only ones I think are half decent at the moment are the leaders of the D66 and the SP.
That was you by the way, the one making the judgements motivated by prejudice (of myself and a political group in this instance).
Yes but he's an influential eu pm that was against junk being appointed until a visit to merkel made him see the light
I've read plenty of your posts over the summer and based on what you've written I can only conclude that I think you're a chauvinist and that you don't like foreigners. Sorry, but that's what I think based upon the many posts I've read off you. I understand why you and many millions more in the U.K. might feel that way. But, I don't think it's right. It's sad that so many people feel this way.
I dont think anyone in thread dislikes foreigners.
That's how politics work. Now Rutte and the VVD will once again trying to win back Wilder's voters in the lead up to the election. They're like cameleons these politicians.
Typically heard from dutch people pulling up to a bad driver.
"Yeah i thought so, a towel head"
Even my GF says this, its not a one off and i have never heard this in the UK
We're proper fecked, I can 100% guarantee you those two clowns are actually worse than Rutte, and not just a little bit. Pechtold is a sociopath (I once fell into that trap, so I can see where you're coming from) and Roemer is a parody on a politician, should've remained a primary school teacher. He's a nice guy, but what he wants is impossible, and the world seriously needs a properly skilled politician - can you imagine him stepping up to Trump?
The only half decent politician and human being at the moment is Ahmed Aboutaleb, but I'd rather move to Sudan than vote for his party, and it's still unclear whether he remains mayor of Rotterdam, since he just started his second term and some other wankers are fighing for the top spot at PvdA. If they made Aboutaleb their #1, they would actually have a very serious chance of smashing Wilders, nearly all experts agree on this, but at PvdA they won't do this, basically because some other impopular but influential guys are too power hungry, which says everything about them.
So I figured I'd vote for the Pirates, just like last time, but their new #1 is now some blonde ex kink model, heard a interview on the radio with her that made me puke. So like I said, we're proper fecked, just like pretty much half of the world.

Seriously, if he'd become electable I might just do it regardless of my feelings towards his party.

Damn those deceitful Remain campaigners and their lies about the risk of economic hardship after Brexit...
Forecasts
Did the Italian economy minister really just say that he felt insulted by the low intellectual level of the talks with Boris Johnson? Oh my 
Seriously, he should just resign. Bad start, clearly out of his depth.

He's Trumpesque then? Or was Trump Borisesque? At any rate, it's worrying how so many politicians these days can get away with simply shouting and posturing about issues rather than actually trying to sensibly discuss or solve them.

I just read it and I don't like this type of comment to the press, lets stay classy.
Now, we need to put a myth down. The EC has been created/signed by the Maastricht treaty in 1993 and freedom of movement by the Schengen agreement in 1985(it started 1995), as a part of the EC the Schengen agreement is among the pillars of the EU.
If you are going to stand by such a ludicrous position, even with the benefit of time to think it over, i can but conclude that you hold more prejudice toward me, than i to any foreigner. Whilst the irony is of some wry amusement, i also feel sorry for you.

Repeat: daily news flash - the UK is still in the EU
The economic downturn has not yet reached Stage 2 - the trigger
Also the number of immigrants has not reduced either.
