Current Affairs EU In or Out

[roydo]

I was referring to state pensions earlier - within the EU (and whatever Switzerland is these days) all state entitlements are collated, collected and disbursed by the country of residence on retirement.

See here

As in what will happen to them?

I would imagine that they will be paid by the country that you accrued them in, and the tax situation will be dealt with if there is a recipricol arrangement in place. Like what happens with ex pats in the US or NZ.

I certainly do not believe that everyone who voted leave are racist, or bigots - what concerns me is that the actual logistics of us invoking article 50 were not debated properly by either side. What saddens me is that remain or leave we will still have foodbanks, hungry families, and homeless people sleeping on the streets of supposedly one of the richest nations on earth....why are we allowing our NHS to be sold off to MPs' friends who have "interests" in private health companies? How will leaving/remaining in the EU make life better for those who have been apparently forgotten by our "governments"? I include the Blair/Brown tories in this also.

I was reading this earlier about homeless young people, and the same thoughts came through. The UK has lots of money, we really do, yet we waste money, we give away money, but the thought that even a single person has to live on the street is atrocious. I don't see the outrage nor the effort going into tackling this and it's been going on for years....


"Up to one in three young people seeking help from their local council because they are homeless or about to become homeless are being turned away unaided, new research has found.

Freedom of information requests completed by 260 English councils and returned to Centrepoint, the charity for homeless young people, found that only 67 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds seeking help were recorded as getting some sort of assistance from their local authority.

That left 33 per cent – one in three – who simply disappeared from the records, with every chance that they had been turned away unaided."

If ever further evidence was required for the concerns expressed in this thread over Brexit, and the people supposedly negotiating it should it ever happen:

"David Davis is the man charged with making Brexit happen, and he loves it. Whether he’ll love it quite so much when talks with the EU actually begin, we shall find out, but in this painless period of phoney war, he seems utterly at ease.

This afternoon he was interrogated by the MPs of the Foreign Affairs select committee. An ordeal, you might imagine, but not for Mr Davis. He beamed, he bantered, he chortled. “I see nothing to fear in any outcome,” he breezed, when asked about his looming negotiations with the EU. “Get thee behind me, Satan!” he honked, when asked about the European Parliament’s chief Brexit negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt.

I didn’t realise it was possible to swagger while sitting down, but Mr Davis managed it.

After almost two hours of questioning, Crispin Blunt, the committee’s chairman, said, “You’ll be pleased to know we’re nearing the end.”

“Not at all,” twinkled Mr Davis. “I’m enjoying myself.”

So negotiation strategies......I'm thinking.....

Here is a list of Eu Capital cities, plus the country of Luxembourg, minus France. If a proper deal is not done,or any attempt is made to undermine London we will regard that as not nice behaviour. Our nuclear submarine commanders have been given new targets that follow my previous list and I have the codes here in my hand to authorise the firing of our nuclear missiles. You have fifteen minutes......

Never understood the negotiation strategy of appointing unlikable people.

I know it was ridiculous to appoint Guy Verhofstadt

Sounds like a gestapo name lol

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

I would.

I think Verhofstadt is Belgian.

If only the U K had put itself out to try and help Belgium through sticky times in the past, they might have more sympathy for the country.

One of our Ministers referred to him as Satan yesterday, I can't help but think that the UK is the aggressor here.

Don't forget the war though. It might have been 70 years ago, but still. Rule Britannia.

The next one is more important. Will Poland or the Baltic States call on Luxembourg or Belgium if Putin rattles a sabre? Oh, and here are some of your bigoted countrymen at a little village outside Ieper.



O K to mention them?

Why did you just post an image of a Commonwealth cemetery and how does it relate to Verhofstadt being slightly disappointed by the minister of a member state calling him Satan?

Oh and crucially, what does WWI have to do with this?
