Probably inspired by cities near the Mexican border sending illegals to Washington and/or senior Democrats residences. Get rid of buddy pests.

Certainly Austria and Germany if they get that far because of the temporary closing of the Schengen borders because of…Irregular Migration.

What started as a trading bloc to help encourage and Increase trade and growth has ended up doing the opposite.

Can't believe anyone can still offer support for the bungling bureaucracy. Trust in the result. Bent as fuck bureaucrats in Brussels can continue to feather their own nests on some other fuckers back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other options out there. If the EU had remained simply as a trading bloc, the issue would never have arisen. Far more to it than purely trade. If we weren't homing thousands of folk that shouldn't be here, then tax payers money could be better used elsewhere, or even left in the public's pockets. That's down to soft arse political parties.

Farrelli Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 23 hours ago, Mounts Kipper said: Not with other countries it isn’t. 😅 Most of the deals done by the Tories were the same as what we had as an EU member. Some new ones have given free trade benefits to countries such as Australia at the expense of our own farming industry. Our best way forward is to remove some of the barriers we imposed on our selves with our nearest and most important trading partnership, which is the EU.
