Yes and it caused a big reaction from guess where the EU saying it wont work laugh as if the EU is workinglolApparently there was an idea floated years ago about inviting the UK to be a part of NAFTA. It seems as though both Trump and Canada may want to update the current model and also invite the UK to join.......just speculation at the moment.......
Yes its ala lets not accept the vote or wishes of the people as we know better, 1001 excuses all backed up by hard found for google stats!I see the Americans who don't like Trump have got up a petition to try to deny him becoming President. Seems we have similar groups of democracy deniers on both sides of the Atlantic........
Bruce there were stats that very little Indian students stay here - they go back educated paid for university places in fact after Brexit the student figures may well be taken out of immigration figures as they will have to have a visa to stay anyway!So you'd be happy with 1 million immigrants a year if they were all studying and employed?
Muh single market.
What with no free visa involved ? That's just not on as it is a fundamental right to have open borders lolTurkey and the UK have agreed to negotiate a free trade agreement once the UK has left the EU, Turkey's economy minister Nihat Zeybekci announced on Thursday. He told MPs that the two countries have started technical talks and that the future agreement would be as large as the Customs Union Agreement between Turkey and the EU.
I'm not really sure where you are wanting to take this Bruce, via housing stock, available school places, hospital capacity, access to healthcare, access to benefits or whatever. For me this particular issue was never specifically about numbers, even though there will be levels that we just cannot accommodate, it was more about the UK having the right to refuse entry and have the ability to control the flow. Once Brexit is completed if the population and electorate are not happy with levels of immigration or whatever, then we shall look at the government of the UK and not the EU, the people will then decide what government they wish. It's just the difference between controlled immigration and uncontrolled immigration.......
I see one or two Europeans are a bit miffed......
"Axel Schafer, a senior member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Social Democrat coalition party, said Mrs May's hope that President-elect Trump will look favourably on the UK will come to nothing.
Referring to the shock election of Mr Trump, Mr Schafer told The Times: 'What changed is the likelihood of a speedy and preferential trade deal between UK and US.
'Even before Tuesday the chances were rather low, now the hope for this kind of deal seems delusional.'
The pointed remarks came after ministers talked up the chances of a close working relationship with the surprise winner of the race to the White House.
Mr Johnson said the Republican's victory over Hillary Clinton is a 'great opportunity for the UK' to build closer economic ties with America."
Bruce immigration is great for skilled people or people we need - unskilled or un employed as it is now I have always poised the question never have the onset in HB tax credits, child tax credits been added to the financial cost of positivity of this freedom of movement, let alone the strain on services? - So what's wrong in controlling it by visas work permits like other major countries have?I guess that's the question though isn't it? How can a government realistically control that? They could say they want 100,000 a year and they all end up in one town. Obviously that's an exaggerated example but it illustrates the situation. Likewise, I'm not sure where we have any notion that a government knows what skills are required (if they did then our education system might be better), so you're either left with a poor system or one that lets anyone in who has a job, which then returns us to the need to have an adaptability in local government funding that we lack at the moment and I've mentioned several times in this thread.
Unless I've missed it, there has been no comment from this government that they plan to do anything that makes local governments better able to respond to population change, so other than some apparently arbitrary number of people they wish to allow in, what are they doing to 'manage' migration?
I'd love to be there when Farage, Trump and Putin go on a bender.Nigels in the USA talking with Trump may be an ambassador to sort the EU out for the USA lol- LBC today
'I commend Donald Trump for the courage with which he has fought this campaign and I look forward to a closer relationship between the USA and the UK.
'We now have a President who likes our country and understands our post-Brexit values. 'Prepare for further political shocks in the years to come.'
Appearing on LBC Radio, Mr Farage said: 'Is he going to offer me a job? I'm hoping he might do.
'He will be in need of a proper Eurosceptic ambassador in Brussels for the European Union. I would rather like that job.'
He added: 'Being a foreigner will not disqualify me. If we can bring the EU down, it doesn't matter how we do it.'
If we can bring the EU down, it doesn't matter how we do it.'
