[QUOTE=Des Parrot;5318936]Meanwhile back in the real world I met the president of Poland today. He congratulated us on winning a contract that will see the creation of 1000 jobs in Poland.
That’s 1000 new jobs that were destined for UK but due to Brexit, the contract & jobs were redirected into the EU instead. That’s £600m that the UK won’
Des - great to hear from the horse’s mouth what is really going on out there. It will go over the heads of some of the ‘experts’ on here that probably rarely leave their front room. Hope it goes well for you there - meeting the president is something a bit special!
They are not being Usurped because they do well out of free trade.
I don't need a better example. Hong Kong has the lowest tarifs in the world and are very successful. What historical claims China has on Hong Kong is completely irrelevant to this discussion.
Nation Cymru lol and a local charity making a bizare prediction *if* the Government doesn't reallocate spending to Wales. Which the Government has pledged to do. So there's not much to worry about yet. Read the article objectively. Lots of ifs and buts. Stop trying to scare people unduly.
replied to you further back RJK. If the farming subsidies were actually going to small farms with traditional, environmentally friendly practices i'd be more sympathetic, but they are not. 20% of big farms get 80% of the 1 trillion. Yes 1 trillion pound long term subsidies. Also, The president of the EU commision announced a more protectionist policy direction in 2019 before covid. Lockdowns will only exacerbate protectionism in the short term.
Absolutely. There was EU policy to deal with this that David Cameron begged the EU not to be involved with. THe EU refused.
If you really think that staying in the EU was a must for businesses who exploit immigrants, think again. Legislation was on its way and the Tory government of the time was keen to avoid it at all costs.
Interesting. What was the law and has it been implemented yet.
Big business is way over represented in dealings with the commision. I'd go into more detail but i'm probably being hacked and my device keeps freezing. Nice to have crossed paths with you all anyway.
"You could argue that the Ukraine conflict was, in part, caused by the EU ever expanding eastwards. Not respecting Russian interests and backing them into a corner risking nuclear war in the process.
We have democratic system and leave won. If you don't like democracy come out and say...I'm beginning to question it myself but not because of Brexit."
The EU is expanding as countries ask to join. The biggest immediate advantage is to have access to a large economic area. Or does the EU actively look for new members? The EU decides to accept a country or not. Should they not accept a free will request made to join the EU as it would upset some other country? I'd find it easier to understand the argument if it'd be NATO. I'm probably missing something altogether here.
So, you agree. the EU is expansionist and has expanded it's trading bloc and schengen to Russia's border with talk of a EU army going on. That army is inevitable.
So yes, they have neglected Russia's geo political interests and played a part in the conflict.
Do you think war, mass death and potential nuclear fallout is a price worth paying for expansionism of the EU project? If i'm reading this right you do. Lol
