Even when they are the opposites. No, its you that says that. -- If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Even trying to negotiate that would have been utterly pointless, not least because it's one of the four basic freedoms from the Treaty of Rome, which MASSIVELY predates our joining the EC. Indeed, and it one of the fundamental changes that the EU will have to make if it is to survive (regardless of if we stay or go) The only people who have an issue with it are the Little Englanders and various far-right groups. Everybody else recognises that it's a bloody good thing. Free movement for the purposes of business and employment makes some sense when limited to resonable numbers. However when it either becomes a way to facilitate mass benefit or healthcare tourism, or a way for the less scrupulous to engage in mass exploitation, its not sustainable. As the disparity in economic strength of between nations in the union increases (as new members join), its a problem that gets worse. I agree, Free movement of Labour is not the same as Free Movement of People. -- bert |
