Current Affairs EU In or Out

Hammond, Corbyn, that woman who leads the LibDems and Sturgeon are not really big boys and girls are they though.....

Although we disagree about the central issue mate, I think we would agree that the biggest political situation in a generation had coincided with the worst calibre of politicians who we need to sort it out, in a generation. And I include your man Boris in that assessment.

Nothing new for British living in France. Carte vitale or other documentation, ID etc must be presented at the reception. I don't think the NHS has the admin setup to carry out similar checks and deal with the possible billing.

Think everyone has to present ID in France though don't they? It's not just something for foreigners.

Yes, everybody, no exceptions. ID and évidence of entitlement every visit.

The EU sell between £70-80 Bn more to us than we do to them. Now obviously I don’t have the figures for specific tariffs on each sector which do vary, but it’s generally accepted that incoming tariffs will exceed outgoing tariffs.......I.e our tariff take will be larger than the EU tariff take.....

The UK has been diminishing in terms of EU country exports

ie becoming irrelevant

Well apologies. I certainly read your words as conceding a bleak economic future in the short and medium term. You said you didn't think "we would be any worse off in the long term".

These "bureaucratic and authoritarian rulings of the undemocratic EU" sound terrible. Can you give me an example please?

I mentioned the European Court of Justice because it is unelected and "foreign" but I like it. I referenced the Governor of the Bank of England as he too is unelected but "British" and I have to put up with him.

Unelected bureaucrats etc

Unelected bureaucrats etc

For the record ECJ judges are nominated by a member country and have to be ratified by the other member countries.

Unelected bureaucrats etc

And do you elect many judges to the Supreme Court in the UK then?

Everyone in France shows an id card, not just foreigners Pete. If there are plans to request foreigners show an ID card here, and foreigners alone, then it's not a great leap to believe that there are plans to refuse some of those foreigners access to care.
