They were given the power to be ****s by actively replacing me with cheeper shipped in alternatives that was never up for debate. I am also retraining to work as a CCtv operator there's no shortage of ****ing cameras gorping at us that's for sure
It's not just about higher education though. Controlled immigration would mean the UK could evaluate people coming into the country, and see if they have any qualifications, skills, job prospects or a business they intend to bring over. There are people in Calais wanting to leave France for the UK. What do they intend to do when they get here? They're not working in France, in fact, they're just camping in large areas doing nothing. The figures of unemployed migrants from the European Union ranges from 350,000 to 600,000 in the UK. They're taking advantage of the UK's welfare system, but they're not working or putting anything into the economy in the form of taxes or spent wages. I fail to see why they're allowed to stay here, or come here in the first place if they've got nothing to offer Britain.
Britain has a loosening grip on itself (pick a subject). Not sure the rest of Europe is much better (Germany if all the hype is to be believed) but we will need support at some point in the future. This expensive club may well be the saving of Britain in the near future. It's all gone to hell and there's a ****-storm coming. Damn it, John. The DA's gonna have my ass in a sling over this one.
It's only going to get worse with the machines taking our jobs (rather than the Poles) - read this (huge article) if you get bored http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy.html?pg=1&topic=&topic_set= - in the last 3 years alone I run an office with about 25 people in it doing the same amount of work that 100 people in my last office used to do. Algorithms are doing all the donkey work.
Oh i dunno ER. Mick's happy to be able to move where he wants when he wants and doesn't have a problem with the locals getting a raw deal in terms of what they have always believed would happen - and I happily concede that he can point to the fact that he was from one of the most neglected parts of europe at the time so I'm not going to say he's wrong to want to do that. Personally I crave the security we used to have (all be it by accident of birth) but his arguments are perfectly valid. As are yours about it all being the fault of the French and the Germans
They have the power to be ****s because the economy collapsed. If all your East European colleagues where deported tomorrow, they'd be replaced by native born Brits forced to take a **** wage because the job market is currently a buyer's market. Incidentally, on any given night, how many of your customers are immigrants?
I am going to open a chain of Wetherspoons type pubs in China with a daily carvery and return a millionaire Mick...
They still have work permits on the Isle of Man to protect the locals. I went to employ a Scottish fella I knew about 2 years back - he was a derivative developer, specialising in building mathematical algorithms for odds calculations. It's a pretty niche role and there's maybe only about 100 or so people in the UK who have decent experience doing it - so you've no chance of finding one on the IOM. Anyway the IOM Government rejected his first work permit application, called me into a meeting and I had to explain 'game theory' to a panel of old *****s who hadn't a ****ing clue what I was talking about. By the end of the process I was ready to set up an 'offshore' office in the UK to get around the work permit situation - I told them this and they eventually buckled. Anyway the point is that there are costs to these things - you need to employ people to judge who can come and go, and you need to get it right and not block legitimately useful people. While I'm stressing over getting a good employee past the Government I'm not creating useful stuff in work - it's a waste of time and resources. Also your 600,000 number is not right. That is economically 'inactive' migrants, which includes kids and stuff. 75% of my household would be unemployed then: http://eu-rope.ideasoneurope.eu/2013/10/14/true-or-false/ EU nationals are more likely to be in a job than UK nationals (from experience ex-pats tend to have less children as they are a pain in the nuts to change schools etc)
Probably 90% the difference was when i trained only the brightest and best got through the course and the House had to be able to trust us we were subject to stringent background checks and crb checks as well as handling tens or hundreds of thousands in cash and chips for each table. Since as Mick quite rightly said the technology of powerful CCTV cameras was introduced gaming licenses are handed out with tokens from Cornflake boxes. I am quite bitter because my country will not let my wife live here even though she would benefit the country but when i walk down the street even our home grown beggers pickpockets and street drinkers have been shipped in . As was said before we should only let in people from overseas if they can be an asset to us rather than creating Romanian street slums in Marble Arch and in Mayfair underpasses. For me i believe i can make a better life in China and to my friends and family that is very extreme .
It isn't just the UK that's had an increase in Euroscepticism. Denmark, Sweden, France, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland and Hungary have all seen an increase of support for anti-EU parties in local and European elections. The Danish People's Party are populist, Eurosceptic and socially conservative, but they're definitely to the left of the British Labour Party when it comes to economics. The exact same can be said of the Swedish Democrats. Then you have the left-wing, environmentalist Five Star Movement in Italy. Front National and Jobbik can be placed on the far-right. The Netherlands has Geert Wilders' anti-Islam, pro-LGBT Party for Freedom that are deeply Eurosceptic. Euroscepticism is growing in European countries. Traditionally, it's been a right-wing thing, but Tony Benn was a strong Eurosceptic, and so was a lot of far-left trade unionists like Bob Crow. I'm not sure the majority of people in the UK would vote to join the EU if they were asked in 2014. Icelanders and Norwegians certainly wouldn't. The Common Market was very, very different to the European Union we have today.
Having these manky ****ers camping in Marble Arch of places is certainly not great for tourism. please log in to view this image
I'm with you on that Dev. The United States Of Europe has never existed and never will. Why would Scotland want independence to manage her affairs better (allegedly) and then jump straight back into the red tape and bureaucratic minefield that is the EU? Europe was always destined to fail due to the diversified cultures and history and nationalism.
