Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Wizard]

Am I missing something here? I travel through Schiphol once a week for work, and that’s not the “Immigration” queue. It’s the queue for the self-service passport control machines, which not only EU members but also (off the top of my head) Swiss, American, Canadian, Australian, Korean and a few other countries are allowed to use, and in all likely-hood UK passport holders will be able to continue to use after the transition period.

The delays were caused because Schipol were training new customs officials. We haven’t actually left yet anyway as it’s still the transition period so any UK Citizen can still use the EU queues. If he’s getting this wound up now I worry for his health after December 31st when he will actually have to use the non EU queues

Khan should sort out London and the daily murders. Playing gesture politics is a way of trying to show he is relevant in some form of way.

I see that the EU are now saying we should return the Elgin marbles as a part of any deal. I would suggest that Boris asks for the repatriation of all of our dead soldiers who fought to keep Europe free as any part of the deal. This is entering the realms of total absurdity and stupidity. Just walk away... Rip up the divorce settlement and trade on WTO. We will be fine, we will continue to grow and the EU can do whatever it wants and look completely ridiculous and spiteful in the eyes of the rest of the world......

What are your views on Sabisky? Employed by johnson.....your hero eh?

If associate membership is offered what I understand it's a personal choice of the individual, can't see the problem myself. You would not be forced into it. Maybe if I took the opportunity to be associate member, I would have different coloured passport be able move move freely in the realms EU, minor differences.

You would imagine it would need to be reciprocal for it to have any chance of passing though, and as the immigration bill this morning shows, that's simply not going to happen. Having read through the document this morning, it's a grim day for Britain.

I thought we’d finally seen some self awareness from you there. Imagine bringing the irrelevant war up AGAIN and then accusing others of stupidity.

You didn’t fight in WW2, hardly anyone alive did, it’s a positive we don’t have to, it has no meaning.

 

[Tea_drinker]

"The elgin marbles", "our ww2 dead", my word some people are so stuck in the past thinking they're gonna move us forward. Complete embarrassments to themselves.

I'd wager he has no idea what the elgin marbles even are.

And no one alive made the Elgin Marbles.....

I chuckled at the minimum £25k salary criteria for high skilled workers.

There's a lot of UK workers nowhere near that salary in a lot of those types of jobs in the first place.

Sounds great, so you know it’s not going to happen......

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Then why do you care where they are kept?

 

[dead_soft]

They are completely different situations. No amount of dots will cover up your ignorance.

Why do you think any world wars have a relevance to this discussion outside of ‘we’ve not had one whilst the EU has existed? Your nonsense war loving patriotism is silly.

And bizarrely, you only seem to earn 'education points' if you have a PhD, not a masters or any other form of degree. The ironic thing is most PhDs are paid below the minimum salary threshold. It's a pig's ear.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

It's okay Pete. Such is the state of knife crime around the British Museum that no one gets out alive that goes in, so the chances of nicking it are remote. Sadly your phobia of all things London also mean you've probably never set eyes on the very things you're acting all butt hurt about having returned to where they came from.

If all EU members agree, not much to stop it apart from our own Government, can't see why they would being bastions of personal freedoms etc...
