The influence of the EU on Britain.

1] EU migrants do get access to free healthcare but given they tend to be younger people they rarely use it - certainly not as much as UK expats use the 'free' healthcare in Spaingolfaddick said:
and in return you get free healthcare from day one, benefit subsidised housing & one of the most diverse & multi-culteral societies. See of you get that in Turkey, Albania or Greece.Callumcafc said:
2] EU migrants don't get 'benefit subsidised housing' - that's crap.
3] The UK will be a lot less 'multi-cultural' with a ban on free movement from the EU post-Brexit - although some folks will like that.
4] Neither Turkey or Albania are currently in the EU - and Turkey probably never will be.
I hope your financial advice is more accurate than the crap you post on here, wouldn't take the risk myself though.8 -
Truly disturbing to think how much papers like the Mail and the Sun influenced the referendum result.4

Pah. I got the first one :-)Chizz said:
Not just me then @Algarveaddick ?Algarveaddick said:If only you did rest it rather than sending me the abusive PM...
Well, I say three, @chizz if you consider that 'abuse' then you must be very thin skinned indeed.
How unlike you to take something entirely out of context!
Anyway gents, let's get back to the matter at hand, derailing brexit via a league one football club forum...
Fake chumminess now. As Chizz said, weird and attention seeking. If you have any disagreements with what people write on here, just write it here in plain sight.

British gas fix my boiler...Callumcafc said:0 -
This Bloomberg article will be well worth a read, but seeing as I am on holiday I'll save it for later. It's already "fury inducing" being in Germany when the jammy feckers get up to their World Cup tricks again

British Gas can stick it.
About 7 years ago a salesperson came round and offered a 'best price' for British Gas to install a Valliant boiler for £3,400!
When I pointed out the boiler was £899 retail and it would take two blokes a maximum of one day to remove the old boiler and install the new one and estimated a generous rate of £500 for that and I added on a (very very generous) £500 profit for British Gas, I asked what the extra £1500 would be for.
I was told it was for the control panel. Fuck the fuckitty fuck OFF!
I told them to stick it and got a Worcester Bosh fully installed with the old boiler away, and a control panel too for £1,600.
I also have a (cliche alert) a brilliant Polish plumber, after years of getting ripped off by British plumbers who did shoddy work.1 -
Leave Turkey out of this!Callumcafc said:Glad you want to see our wonderful country reduced to the standard of Turkey, Albania or Greece...
They have taken in millions of unfortunate migrants.
Always seems a nice friendly place when I go there!
Compares well with our "wonderful" country so far as I'm concerned.

Another day, another damaging blow to those who think that Brexit might not be a complete disaster.

I'm sure that immigrants do benefit from our diverse multi-cultural society, but I think it's a little grudging not actually crediting them for creating it.golfaddick said:

British Gas need to move with the times. They are 'Addicks Boilers' now and have been since the '80s. What a pity the club hasn't got one for the undersoil heating.seth plum said:British Gas can stick it.

sorry, but couldn't get past "unemployment rising, sterling tanking, prices rising in the shops..."Chizz said:Two years ago today, Nick Clegg published this piece in the Independent. It would be interesting to see which of these predictions Leavers still claim to be "project fear" and which have turned out to be astonishingly accurate prophecy.
I really wish these predictions hadn't turned out to be so accurate.
https://inews.co.uk/?p=11756
unemployment is currently at record lows and inflation(rpi or cpi) is around 2.5% and falling.
All of the Project Fear projections, like all academic research predicting the outcome of an event which will be affected by a butterfly flapping its wings 5,000 miles away, is on the basis of "ceteris paribus" because they learnt the Latin phrase for all other things being equal. The worst case scenario of Project Fear is a 7% worsening in GDP over an indeterminate period, but further out than 15 years, so could be 1/2% a year for a number of years, and then the effect is assumed to be neutral.
GDP today per head is much the same as in 2009. Had GDP grown in line with expectations of productivity growth, GDP would be 20% higher today. In fact productivity has flatlined in line with GDP growth. So using the same economists projections and calculations, the impact of what we have experienced since 2009 as a result of low productivity is seven times worse the the long term predicted impact of Brexit, and that's assuming nothing positive comes out of Brexit.
Unlike Remainers paralysed by the fear of the unknown, I am not overly concerned at the inevitable disrupted trade arrangements in the short term because trade will find its own equilibrium, business adapts to a new landscapes all the time in order to survive.
The Brexit "problem" pales into insignificance compared to the productivity problem, so why are people not marching against productivity failure?
Those worrying about the impact of Brexit, believing the predictions of doom and economic collapse, don't realise they would be more effective marching against butterflies.

Bit further down the thread mentions Farage and Crispin Odey's role1 -
There is an assemblage going on, we have feck Barnier, feck the Irish, feck the GFA, feck business, feck the House of Lords, feck the House of Commons, indeed feck every individual and institution that raises concerns.Chizz said:
So much easier to say feck 'em all than to provide answers and solutions.2 -

They should ask them about the Irish border, they would probably have more of an idea than you quitters on here, or your Brexit buddies in Westminster...Chippycafc said:Great debate at the minute going on, on LBC re the EU's performance on immigrants and Italy...Couple of Italians ringing in discussing the problem.
