Off Topic UK / EU Future

The Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has described the EU as 'unprecedented filth' I'm not sure even Farage has described the failing block as colourfully as that. It is falling apart.

 

Did I miss his 'the EU is a useless institution' comment?

 

I wonder why we suddenly need all these extra customs officers having been told that they are not needed. Why are all these extra border force persons required to keep EU citizens out when they have stopped coming? Has the government found a forest of money trees?

 

It is to stop the desperate unruly hordes of unemployed French from trying to sneak in to find work.

 

You didn't read it did you. They have stopped coming. It is the ones from the rest of the world that you fail to control that are still arriving.

 

20% unemployment in Pas de Calais, poor souls are desperate for a job.

 

Oh look, there is a dead cat in the road.

 

They often find dead migrants in the road outside Calais.

 

I wonder why. If they were EU nationals they could just hop on the first ferry.

 

No the dead ones are the illegals camped nearby, you should read French papers more.

 

The ones that should be suffering in Pas de Calais are those French scumbags that block the ports to inconvenience businesses and holidaymakers for their own selfish demands. Why don't they sack them all and give the unemployed their jobs, how about it Emmanuel matey?

 

Just for a moment I thought you could be talking about train drivers in England who are stopping people from travelling on a bank holiday. What makes people in the UK different to those in France?

 

It is no wonder that the Brexit secretary looked so uncomfortable as he read out his prepared script about the no deal problems. He doesn't agree with his own government.
United Tory party. Quite ridiculous. Still if your ears, mouth and eyes are filled with sand, and I won't suggest other places, you would not see that. Some people need to get a grip on reality, and not wish to be proved lost in the Alice in Wonderland that they currently long for.

 

We have some days lost through industrial action in the UK. France has seven times as many, the worst in Europe apart from Cyprus.

 

Not your dodgy predictions again, you should have given up ages ago. Your crystal ball must have been dropped !!

 

Both that and the follow-up comments by SH are insensitive. It's just as well jerzeypie didn't read them, as one of the pet cats that belong to him and his younger brother, but live with their Mum in France, was run over last week and they didn't get him to the vet in time - their Mum only told them yesterday afternoon.

 

I didn't understand the logic of the silly comment about the cat in the road. I was highlighting the often tragic consequences of allowing migrants to reach Calais, quite different.

 

A well known expression when someone tries to divert the subject by talking about something else I am afraid. Sorry if you found it offensive.

 

Ever heard of the African Continental Free Trade Area?

The free trade area aims to create a single market for goods and services in Africa. By 2030 the market size is expected to include 1.7 billion people with over $6.7 trillion of cumulative consumer and business spending. The goal is to create a single continental market for goods and services, with free movement of business persons and investments.

Just another example of countries working together, and using the EU as a model.
