O/T EU Leaders are UNELECTED and UNACCOUNTABLE.

Was a much more peaceful way to take over Europe though.

Why didn't they do that in the first place?

Millions of lives would have been saved.

One thing is for sure, we will have no influence on Europe after we leave.

[WanChaiMiller]

As Wanchai pointed out, it fell quite sharply after the Brexit vote, but otherwise has been generally stable.

Here you go: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?f...o=EUR&view=10Y

Tory rule brought us the referendum and Osbourne admits his austerity policy ushered us to the Brexit vote - and Brexit will damage inward investment (as the Chairman of the CBI will point out in his speech later today).

We could lay the blame at the door of the Tories - or should we blame the will of the people.

Both are horrible to hear it’s sounds like we are treating them as poorly paid slaves.

Big business treat low paid EU migrant workers like sh@t. It starts with job agencies setting up recruitment offices in the poorest regions of Eastern Europe. Then ship them over on minimum wage living 3, 4 and 5 to a room in company rented flats.

Unemployment in the eurozone is diabolical for the under 25 year olds.This last month's figure for Spain is 33.8%.Italy is worse,as is Greece.Macron's France has a very miserable figure of 21.5% for the under 25s this year.They just couldn't care less!!.You will not read these alarming statistics in the pro EU Guardian or Financial Times or hear it on EU funded BBC.Strange that ,isn't it?

I have read these figures in the newspapers you quote. But why not critisise the pro Leave newspapers in the same way for its biase reporting? Or is it ok because they are they saying what you want to hear?

Just out of interest can you explain what funding the EU provide the BBC?

[WanChaiMiller]

Why would any one vote to return to a corrupt organisation, which is rife with fraud and has been reluctant to have the books audited in the past.

Please explain the corruption and fraud youve witnessed.

Also give some evidence the EU has not signed off its accounts (I can see its most recent account, 2017, on the EU website).

[WanChaiMiller]

In 2016 we paid in 13.1 billion pounds,they gave us back 4.5 billion on projects "they agreed to" let us do in this country and kept 8.6 billion for themselves.Hardly a good deal!

I think this totally misrepresent the EU Regional Development Fund. It is about developing infrastructure that increases employment and trade in the poorest regions of Europe. Increased wealth and trade is a huge help to UK companies.

We benefit massively in Rotherham - take a look around you.

As an example, EU funded development of road, rail and air travel in south Spain makes it desirable and easy for Brits to holiday, own second homes, and allows over 1m of us to retire down there.

The BBC admitted taking more than 2 million pounds in EU funding up to the run in of the referendum.No bias there then.Take the blinkers off and look at the wide picture.The Guardian will only report what it wants you to know.

No blinkers. They took the money for their research and develoment arm into 3d and high def filming. No money at all into BBC programmes. Got no gripe with that and cant think it skewed their programming. Andrew Neil anyone.

And other papers dont do the same?

Corbyn isn't popular with them because he's gunna close the cartel.....tell me gm, and any other tory bull shytter on here, are you happy with the UN report about poverty in the UK?? Because it's the tory policy's you voted for that have created it.....don't give me any wishy washy bull about the previous labour gov't or what yoou think Corbyn might do, just the truth...

Firstly, the city isn’t a cartel and if Corbyn “closed it down” we would be back in the Middle Ages in economic terms.

Not seen the report by the UN? Or what measurement was used, we use 60% of average income as a definition. However, I do think it exists and one of the main causes is low wages as opposed to mass unemployment so of the practices by some employers are disgraceful.

Car wash lads get £30 a day for 10 hours...shock horror! It’s rife and there are still too many employers getting away with ducking the minimum wage which needs to be at least £10 / hour
