The EU deal

[roydo]

yes it does mate, then the Germans and French can moan about there housing and wages.
Don't really have a problem of some movement really, just not uncontrolled ,if people come here and we need there skills fine no problem from me, more big issue sellers no thanks

Reckon folk in France and Germany, Italy and Greece too, have far bigger problems with immigrants than we do.

Huge problem with people having a mentality like this.

It's not a competition to see who has it worse.

Cuts both ways. #aufwiedersainpet

That was before Maastricht & the free movement of labour. The 'Gastararbeiterprogramme'

bit of a different argument there Roydo think most of those are not from Eu counties , again there is a case that if we didn't have free movement they could be managed better.
That doesn't sound very nice managed better when talking about humans but hope you get my meaning

No one is talking about cutting trade links. We want to trade with Europe and trade globally with the likes of the Commonwealth etc

No, people are in this thread.

I'd like Cameron to come back and say "Sorry about this, but our EU partners just don't really want to do a meaningful deal, so I will be recommending that we all vote to leave the EU".........then he can get a few hours sleep while the Eu goes into meltdown.......

Regardless of anyone's opinion on the EU, leave or stay, this is what everyone should be hoping for. This would either get us out of the EU or have us staying with the very best deal because the EU cannot function at its current level without us. Unfortunately, our Prime Minister lacks a spine.

Never said it was.

Never said it was.

You implied it, though.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

I see. I guess you could argue that if the wages /housing costs here are too low/high, then folk could move to Germany or France and chance their arm there.

Freedom of labour and all that.

Cuts both ways. #aufwiedersainpet

I've no issues with people moving between countries, but only if the migrants have skills that their new country requires (and they can speaka da lingo).

If either of these boxes remain un-ticked then it's a big no from me. (GTFO)

No I didnt. You read it that way.

Okay then mate and I mean this with no disrespect but what other purpose does your post have, other to say "yeah but Germany has it worse!"

Thats not what I said. I said several countries in Europe have issues with immigration that we do not have; due to their geography mainly.

That isnt promoting a "race to the bottom" which you alluded to me being in some way supportive of.

And for the record. I am part of the working class. 6 days a week, 7 till whenever I finish.

Don't think you need to justify your view to someone on here like that mate.

Maybe not, but not being called out for something I didnt say.

Alright, I just don't see what value or relevance that has. Yeah, Germany also has problems. So? We're in the UK. I guess I'm just misunderstanding what you were saying. No worries.
