Current Affairs EU In or Out

[roydo]

Problem is if the UK, France, Italy and eventually Germany goes who is going to be putting any money in to that fund?

Not given it much thought tbh. I may well be wrong, but I dont think there is the same level of discontent with the EU on the continent as there is here.

Even when we have housing crisis, homeless crisis, NHS crisis...

Yes, for it is only by becoming more prosperous as a country that these problems can be tackled. Migrants make us more prosperous, just as they have to every country on earth.

I seen Bercow was asked what would be considered a change and he said it would have to be something substantial, ie, a name change or date isn't substantial enough to be classed as changed

Lob in the uncomfortable truth that is every immigrant left tomorrow, the NHS "crisis", ( it isnt really, just has issues), would actually be a real one.

This is the mistake - you assume, wrongly, that EU migration is a big factor in this. The reality on housing? Most migrants are private renters. From a few years back, social housing went 9 in 10 to UK nationals. Only 5% to EU nationals.

The NHS is supported by 12% non-UK employees, many of them specialists. In terms of money, migrants are a non-factor on the NHS compared to the ageing British populations, terrible management and rising wages.

As for homelessness? How that's the EU's fault is beyond me, but there's around 3,000 EU migrants homeless in the UK - that's all. Around 320,000 people are homeless in total.

Don't just assume things mate; look deeper.

And you are right not to as it would be a waste of time as they are stuck like us or should I say, like us if we knew what side our bread was buttered.

I was only saying they would all demand to be out if there was a magical place that had all the upsides to being in the EU with none of the compromises.

Macron is going to veto any extension..

Nothing else but to join in the world wide laughing, the humiliation May and Conservative government have brought upon this once great country is something special.

Think he's right on Italy. They would leave tomorrow. Definitely not right on France.
