If you removed all immigrants, the country would grind to a halt. The
notion that there are UK nationals who would fill all the jobs left vacant
is nonsense.


So what you are saying is there would be increased demand for workers.

So in effect you agree that wages would increase for the majority, where
the only pain would be felt by businesses who benefit from paying third
world wages.

They would if they would lose their benefits if they didn’t.


There are ways of making oneself unemployable but it would make
sanctions less morally repugnant.

Just look what has happened after allowing third world countries to
join the EU.

That isnt what produced two world wars.

Nope. Much more is involved with WORLD wars.

Giving employment to foreigners from developing ****ries over the
indigenous population and depressing wages exacerbates the ill feeling.


But wasn’t involved in what produced two WORLD wars.

Some will take migrants, others won't because accepting Muslims is
against their culture.


It ain't that, they won't even let them transit their country.


The Muslim problem is looking more like the Jewish problem a century
ago.


That isnt what produced even one world war.


Jewish haters voting in Hitler helped,


Nope. He got in because Germany was in such a
desperate situation economically that many of the
voters decided that they had nothing to lose and that
he might well be able to do something about that.

He did too, doing precisely what FDR did in the US,
massive govt deficit spending that got the economy
going again.


Agreed.

Nothing whatever to do with jewish haters.


Are you suggesting the National Socialist German Workers' Party
manifesto didn't have clauses referring to Jews and charging interest?

in very much the same way the right wing parties in Europe are
receiving votes because of their stance against Muslims.


They don’t have any possibility of ever driving the bus.

UKIP couldn’t even managed to get Farage elected.


Yes, we now have welfare. Less to get worked up about. Not many EU
nationals went hungry or suffered from malnutrition.

The apologist Burford will confirm.


Burford is completely irrelevant.


Agreed, he is irrelevant but has a hangup about apologists.

There's a rather large difference between the agendas of these 2 groups.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islami...and_the_Levant
You couldn't make it up.


Agreed their stances are very different where each group is/was hated for
different reasons.

In the 1930's there was little welfare,


That isnt true of Germany.

and so perhaps you can see why Jews were hated so much.


They weren't until Adolf revved that up.

Much like bankers in the late 2000's.


Nothing like that in fact.

Many banks have Jewish origins, hastily hidden post WW2.


Many more don’t.

Are you going to disagree that the rise of the right wing elements in the
EU is enhanced by Muslim refugees entering their coutries?


Corse it is but that has nothing to do with what produces WORD wars.

Nothing morally repugnant about saying to those
on benefits that if they don’t take one of the jobs
offered to them that they will lose their benefits.

for them.

You've fallen into the trap of assuming all immigrants only do low paid
manual unskilled jobs. The reality is very different.

Why are there so few people in them, I'm expecting in a few years if anyone bothers to look into it you;ll find it's a money laundering scam for a lot of those shops.
I wonder if they'll all close down if we leave the EU where will they get their produce from when Poland refuse to sell it to their citizens in the UK because we are no longer in the EU.

Of course it's not just the EU we should be concerned about.

There quite a few. Mind you getting products from Poland in those days

So I don;lt see the EU as teh great leap forward others claim.
Technology, transport, is what has imporved.

If they'd just stop making claims about the EI, we wouldn;t have thios or we wouldn;t have that, it'd happen anyway just like supersocnic flight wouldn;t have happened without the EU !!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah we were talking, trading and even working togther in Europe BEFORE the EU, why is that forgotten. We could build a plane together fastest in the world beating the USA and every other country.
if concord had have just been completed today everyone would say it's because we are in the EU that we can do this.

That's because you never wash your feet.

Not money laundering so much as a convenient way for poles
to send money home where the wife and kids still are.

I wonder if they'll all close down if we leave the EU


Unlikely given that there were lots of poles
in Britain before it joined the EEC.

where will they get their produce from when Poland refuse to sell

They ain't that stupid. They're happy to sell that stuff to the poles
here and we have always had lots of them since the war too.

we weren't in the EU in 1945 either were we.


Of course it's not just the EU we should be concerned about.

But, you have to remember that a lot of Poles came here in 1945.


So why weren't there loads of Polski Sklep in those times ?


There quite a few.


Quite a few in teh UK London or my high street/road ?


Mind you getting products from Poland in those days
might have been difficult - Iron Curtain and all that entailed.


As was a lot of things.


Why are there so few people in them, I'm expecting in a few years if
anyone bothers to look into it you;ll find it's a money laundering scam
for a lot of those shops.


I wonder if they'll all close down if we leave the EU where will they
get
their produce from when Poland refuse to sell it to their citizens in
the
UK because we are no longer in the EU. we weren't in the EU in 1945
either were we.


since it didn't exist it would have been rather difficult.


So I don;lt see the EU as teh great leap forward others claim.


It clearly was with the complete freedom of
movement of EU citizens anywhere within the EU.

Technology, transport, is what has imporved.


That too.

If they'd just stop making claims about the EI, we wouldn;t
have thios or we wouldn;t have that, it'd happen anyway


It wouldn't have with complete freedom of movement of EU citizens.

In fact since the war there has been much less freedom
of movement between countrys outside the EU and even
of commonwealth citizens to Britain.

just like supersocnic flight wouldn;t have happened without the EU
!!!!!!!!!!


Oh yeah we were talking, trading and even
working togther in Europe BEFORE the EU,


And endless wars between european countrys
in almost every generation.

why is that forgotten.


Same reason you have forgotten those wars.

We could build a plane together fastest in the
world beating the USA and every other country.


That never happened. Concorde was
only the fastest PASSENGER plane.

And wouldn't have happened without the EEC/EU anyway.

Airbus in spades.

if concord had have just been completed today everyone
would say it's because we are in the EU that we can do this.


And they'd be right.

So what you are saying is there would be increased demand for workers.

So in effect you agree that wages would increase for the majority, where
the only pain would be felt by businesses


they'd simply pass the pain on to the consumer


Not even possible for plenty of them, most obviously
with those that attempt to manufacture in Britain.

who benefit from paying third world wages.


1st world wages apply here. It's why foreigners come here.


And why those who attempt to manufacture in Britain find that
they can't just pass on the pain of higher wages to their customers.

They voted for him because they decided that he might well

and it was in a desperate state


Indeed it was and that is why they had thought they had nothing
to lose by giving him a go. They were just plain wrong about that,

He did too.


for a while. His warmaking and genocide decimated Germany of course.


It wasn't the genocide that did that, just the warmaking.

Tho it is very arguable whether he had any choice
on that. His massive deficit spending could never
have been paid for so arguably he had no choice
but to go to war so he would not have to pay it
back and could just loot the countrys he did invade.

As regards the insulation scheme, I'd have been very interested if
it had offered options for the common older Victorian house. And
allowed at least a degree of DIY. But as it was implemented it looked
like just another pressure group (insulating firms etc) persuading the
government it would be a good idea. For only them, of course.


That's what the majority of the shemes are for including PAT testing.

Russia was never likely to start a nuclear war.



http://www.history.com/news/history-...ar-close-calls



Why don't you read that?
Why don't you ever read what you link too?

If you do then you may notice that it was the yanks that nearly went to
war in each case where aggression was present.

The two that were errors it was the Russians that decided not to go to
war.

It was the yanks that were going to war over Cuba too, they decided it was
fine to have short range nukes in Germany aimed at Russia but it was worth
destruction to stop the same short range missiles in Cuba.


It had nothing to do with destruction, Russia was
never going to nuke anyone over missiles in Cuba.

That's not true. Plenty of the stinking rich
don’t bother to apply for a state old aged

And plenty more like me just can't be
bothered doing the paperwork too.

It's not free dosh. Part of their salary package.


I have a bit more sympathy with MEPs who try to mitigate the
worst effect of the EU by arguing for Britain in EU committees.


Surely the idea of the EU is it works for the benefit of all?


Politics is never like that in anything other and cloud cuckoo land.

Absolutely no point in it if it is merely a fight between various
factions trying to get the best for their own agenda.


That's all politics ever is.

There's more than enough of that in the UK parliament.


Because that's all politics ever is.

But I have none at all for Commissioners,
since none of them does anything useful.


There we differ. Lots of very good thing have come from the EU.


An MEP who is fighting hard to put himself out of a job is Dan Hannan.


Ah. Another kipper lover. Say no more.

Completely true except for those who

although they don't need a shop to do it for them.


Plenty of them still do things the old fashioned way, just
like with you lot paying your electricity bills and rent etc.

I wonder if they'll all close down if we leave the EU

Even sillier than you usually manage.

we'll no longer get polish food the EU
will refuse to supply Polish food to the UK,


Even sillier than you usually manage.

we're no longer ion the European market rememeber.


And you weren't before Britain joined the EEC and
still got plenty of food from europe, particularly
once it had recovered from the war.

SO who will suffer....


No one food imports wise.

I've never tried the produce in those shops so if it goes up in price


Why should it ? It's the exports to the EU that
might well see some tariffs and quotas applied.

And its unlikely that Britain will bother about imports
of polish food from poland given that far more food
is imported from other parts of the EU.

why should I care or any other british person care.


Clearly those who choose to eat imported food might well do.

So one of those sausages goes up in price from £1 to £20


That isnt going to happen.

do I care ?


Depends on how much of it you eat.

It's teh Polish export market that will suffer


I doubt it.

not us fish n chip bacon sarnie pie and mash easters.


Britain imports quite a bit of the food it eats from europe.

That's how you ended up with horse meat.

The prices of what you get in aldi and lidl will increase if Britain
leaves and Britain and the EU start having a mindless trade war
with increased tariffs and quotas but IMO they are unlikely to
be that stupid.

where will they get their produce from when Poland refuse to sell
it to their citizens in the UK because we are no longer in the EU.


They ain't that stupid. They're happy to sell that stuff to the poles
here and we have always had lots of them since the war too.


So what's this we won't be able to trade with teh EU then ?


Only fools have ever been stupid enough to run that line.

We we doing that 1000s of years before

No one but a fool has ever said otherwise.
