That by my book is not in the positive of contributions, but an EU forced entitlement.
A points system is there to prove, you have the means/support/health to contribute.
An illiterate building laborer, with bronchial smoking problems, a wife, four kids and cat. Is never going to be beneficial. That's why the likes of Australia has a points system. But the EU says, you have to be non biased.
If they want you, ie a young/nurse. Then they tot up your points as positive asset.
Food, works both ways. Are the Spanish and French going to make it difficult for their grapes and Oranges to reach us? Don't be daft.
Northern Ireland? Ireland doesn't want a border, neither does the UK. Only ones being awkward is the EU. You work it out.
Security? Again rubbish. The Europeans admit that they need British intelligence. Europol, is demanding access to police and intelligence files, as it is miles ahead of Europe's. Sounds like a scare story to me.
Why the focus on European policy? That's up to them. Folks want out for the same reason, that they are sick of Europe telling us what our policies should be. Goes with the territory.
Dyson has done what most manufacturers do. Go for cheap labour. he has also done it, by moving to where his next business venture will be focused. The far east.
I think you'll find the EU has been subsidising companies to move to ****ty East Euro countries for the same reason. Yes many British companies have and are still doing it. It's ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ cheaper.
Our trade with the EU has been shrinking for some time. Europe itself is stalling. The southern Med countries are now a financial mill stone.
We have been led down this merry path for decades. All in the pursuit of political union.
No one asked for that.
No one here was asked about Lisbon/Maastricht. No vote for us. Others got one, rejected it and had the screw turned on them.
That same screw is on us now.
Give me back the Common Market, with the nine similar based countries when we joined. Then I'm in.
