Will the UK & EU strike a deal before March 2019 or will the UK crash out of the European Union. (Page 8) Sandra100257: I suppose you mean North America, which is what they mean by the United States of America.  hornchurchmale: will be this Friday 11pm .Big Ben was going to 'bong ' it in but costs ( so they say) don't allow clock to do so as undergoing refit of building .( clock actually in working order just has clapper missing ) current thinking seeming that it is not wise to celebrate with Big Ben chiming in hour as politically sensitive. That seemingly a far more reasonable excuse not to have clock striking the magic hour.  Fractured fairy tale:  Well its all over now I have to Give the UK one thing . The People spoke and they did what they wanted .Seeing as tho the UK brought Us all modern Demoracy . And were been fighting over it ever since  The giant midget: I would like to see Germany pull out like UK did The original European Community was to trade freely amongst themselves and it truly worked , till bureaucracy of the highest level became involved dictating and establishing rules and regulations , They agreed to free trade What they got was self appointed bureaucrats as leaders in Brussels What they got was dictatorship disguised as socialist democratic governing body hornchurchmale: rumour has it when Ted Heath signed Uk up to EEC ( now EU) he knew it was going to evolve into a socialist federal state. In theory nothing wrong with that and by trading freely an din harmony we avoid potential conflicts possibly even Wars! However it has taken us away from true Democracy. Though they are trying to mimic USA by having a federal and local government system and one currency etc it failed to note that ANY US state can literally build brick wall around itself and refuse to allow anybody or anything in 'except' federal agencies as these have overall control. here Uk wanted to simply control its own borders much like a state in USA but was not allowed as federal 'rules' cover everything so no brick walls allowed. Hence EU made it unrealistic to remain as Uk island vastly overpopulated being unable to control migration/immigration had no real option other than to leave while we still had power to do so . Lisbon treaty would have made it impossible to leave!  chloedrinkwater: The UK is officially screwed because years we had financial support from the EU and now those stupid morons decide to step out of the EU the biggest incomes were from European tourists The giant midget: Horn I didn't want to mention migration or anything close to that , but the financial burden placed on somewhat productive members to financially support ,or obligated to support weak and useless nation members ( Portugal , Greece , Ireland , and some more ) its total outrageous . Productive nations are depriving their citizens of wealth , prosperity and personal financial stability from their hard monetary earnings to support inferior nation members. Looks like Something that USSR had several decades ago Eh ? The giant midget: Oh DrinkWater, either you're in the hospitality industry or a panhandler. The U.K. Has always been the major tourist destination / attraction from everywhere in the world , in the past and it will still remain in the future chloedrinkwater: People were able to pay with euros because it was part of the EU now i think only £ and we from the UK are seen as greedy and expensive while that is like each country take benefit only people aren't so fast to visit a country if they don't know the value because i can say £5 for a cola but is it much or not they don't know it if they don't know the valuta The giant midget: Did you know that for 46 years of the U.K. In the EU it always has traded internationally in the British Pound and not in European dollars European state will fall ,when Germany just mentioning it will follow the directions of Britain chloedrinkwater: Since 2000 I noticed more and more people visited the UK because also Euros were welcome as payment only we didn't use it, still, it is the valuta in almost the whole of Europe. There is one thing none of us loved and that was the immigration and they can call us racists The UK allows free movement of citizens of other member states of the European Union so they came here only where do we all put them and know, how more people live in a country how more crowded and so the country will be even more expensive. I am British and remember years ago a litre of fuel cost £1 now it is £1.24 for petrol and £1.30 for diesel but it will even raise because more and more cars will see the road and it isn't nature friendly so they raise fuel prices to prevent people would say oh I buy a car.  Devlin_616: The UK complains while we Canadians are in a war with ourselves for years because of the language do we allow Canada to be multi languaged or fuck it and Canada is Franch like it always were before the British war in 1812, many of the Canadians even can't speak 1 word French but before 1812 Canada was French and still today the French part of Canada is against the parts which can speak French and English because they see it as a betrayal. Canada was French before 1812 and they find keep Canada French and don't look at those British assholes which tried to make us English only it is 2020 and the war happened more than 200 years ago so I find to get over it and show the people from the UK respect. Canada want to be part of the US but do they think America agrees if Canada is French while the whole of America is English. The giant midget: Celestial I honestly I tried to understand and even make out what you are saying , 1 ) Canada was never officially a French colony , yes we do have a large territory that mainly speak French but that's easy to explain. It's just like in Canada's west coast specially in the greater Vancouver area , Chinese speaking dialects surpasses those of English. 2 ) we are not at war over languages , to obtain certain political favouritism language is the bargaining tool. Just like visual minorities play the race cards 3 ) Canada has never had any plans into becoming part of the USA even when they are our biggest trading partners. (Edited by The giant midget)  Emma McGann: The biggest role of the Brexit was the uncontrolled European immigration because of the +61 000 people each year immigrating in the UK and it isn't so bad people love to come here only it is where do we put them because 1 they need a house, only there have to be house available and 2 the UK can be overcrowded. Many say racist no one is welcome in the UK what is wrong everyone is only there is no place to leave everyone, it is like a bus which says, place for 30 and +40 people waits for a bus 30 can sit the rest has to stand and wait for a seat only one thing we have homeless people living on street asking for a roof above their head but we need to say sorry there isn't place for you because we need to give immigrants a roof and that gives a bad image because how are people gonna be like? People will say look they prefer immigrants over their own citizens because our people sleep on street while they run from their country and we give them a place to sleep. I have a friend who ran away at 16 because of problems at home and looked for an apartment or house but she was alone so the answer was no and she went to an asylum to ask if she could stay there for a few months till she found a place it was sorry we are full and that girl started to steal and rob people to get in jail because the only she desired was a sleeping place away from home and then I think from look you created criminals because you prefer an immigrant over someone who is born here.  ghostgeek: Do people like to be part of somebody else's empire? History would suggest the answer is no. All you need to know about Brexit. The giant midget: Not necessarily I have seen big 300 pounders beefed up boys being taken down by way smaller guys ( oh maybe 150 lbs ) and beating the fucking shit out of them , not too long ago a 72 year old dude kicked the living lights out of a young big boy , we just sat back and enjoyed the fight Old man got a few well deserved free drinks (Post deleted by staff ) | Politics Chat Room 70 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
