Talking to a well established English builder today who has been running his business in Spain for many years. His workforce are all Russian, how is that allowed with Spain's horrendous unemployment rate. His English rival only employs Romanians.

What have Russian builders to do with the EU ? Your ignorance of the workings of the EU. is depressing if you can't even differentiate between who is in it and who isn't.

Yes, the Romanian pickpockets will have to operate in EU cities rather than London.
Decent Romanians will continue to be welcomed if required.

Britain already has the powers under EU. law to prevent known Rumanian criminals from entering the country, and to expel them if they commit crimes in the country - none of this will change after Brexit.
 
So the deal is "agreed," which sounds about as agreed as an unsigned not even contractual bit of paper (500 sheets apparently!) that 25 countries have to look at and has to be pushed through a load of beauracrats with their beedy eyes. So, not really agreed. Another load of bullshit from bullshitters, and another round of **** to come from paper pushers. Bet they are in their ****ing element.

I am unsure what is best, we can't really predict that future. Either way, wish they'd hurry up and do it one way or another. In the mean time I fear they are off the pace in "home grown" issues.

Good news, mind, told my old man to change quids for pesos for his upcoming visit and today he got the best rate in ages. Something positive from it all. :)

Your visa rants were clearly based on nothing but wind.

I have never suggested that Britain would require Visas from visiting EU. citizens - to do so would be suicidal for the tourist industry. What I did was to raise the question of exactly what you mean by your oft repeated mantra of taking back control of borders, and I still haven't had an answer to this - I mean actually at the point of entry into the country.

You often mentioned visas being required after Brexit, are you posting for your brother?

Macron' record unpopularity at home is now being mirrored on the international scene, one of his only 'friends' Trump is now rubbishing the hapless French leader. The far right are set to win the French European elections in May.
The 'middle' way in politics was short lived.

It is hard to describe the ridicule that Trump has brought upon himself from all over Europe after his visit to France when he was frightened to get his hair wet. Maybe he was acting under orders from his makeover artist, but to put your hair above paying tribute to your nationals who laid down their lives is beyond words. Meanwhile there is a great deal of national pride to see so many world leaders agree to go to Paris, and the message from all was cooperation not isolation to prevent any horror ever happening in the continent again. It was quite a reminder when we watched leaders from far away how much they had been involved. Drawing back into your own little world is not the way forward. I can understand that the PM had to be in London Sunday, but as one of the main allies just who did go to Paris?
 
Interesting to see Damian Green who is very close to the PM tonight saying that if the deal that she offers is voted down, then the only option might be to offer the people a second say.

Not silly - you have been bandying about info concerning Russians and Moroccans without apparently realizing that they are nothing to do with the EU, and their employment, or otherwise, is not an issue.

If I was one of the nearly 50% unemployed under 25's in this region of Spain I would be questioning the policies of regional, member state and the EU. I would ask why cheap labour from anywhere can legally be employed to the detriment of locals. This is wanton capitalism without any controls. The EUs 'open border' policies must also contribute to this unacceptable situation. No wonder there is a growing trend towards nationalism and the far right throughout the EU.
