Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

the canadians refuse to speak flemish

What happened to the holy of holies re: the Canadian deal?

doh! ..... it's been signed off
DO try to keep up with the game :-)

Thank you c.

A full and free trade deal between the EU and Canada.

And that means Canada have signed up to free movement does it?

haven't read the detail, but i think so or thereabouts ..... it only took them 7 years!
there will of course be strings almost certainly related to work permits or similar

Thanks c, but I'm pretty sure free movement is not allowed, it would be the end of Canada.

What was the hold up for?

CETA does not involve Canada paying into the EU budget or signing up to EU rules on the free movement of people.

The Express scaremongering again...

MaxK "The Express scaremongering again.."

Yes even if it was the Federal Criminal police Office that published the report,
can it be trusted?, or is it just a decoy report to try and hide the seriousness
in the shortage in Ahle Wurst sausages!!.

After all the German Authorities are known to try and hide whats going on
against the indigenous population by the mass influx of immigrants, so
this disclosure is unpresidented...

Unpresidented is what will happen to Crooked Hilary if she ends up being impeached GB. As for the disclosures, maybe they are unprecedented.

Yes thanks for that, but it was getting near my bedtime...;D

canada / eu
fred spends his time studying these things, but it is certain there are strings attached
i would have thought that easier access to work permits (not free movement) or similar was one of those conditions

Beef imports?

beef as in steaks or beef as in grizzling?

A quick guide to Canada's health scheme .. not surprisingly, no free lunch.

Steaks.

Import objections from farmers.

Well looks like this thread is not yet dead......democracy is a shambles said somebody...a good dictatorship can be bliss......(I don't mean blitz).....it would be sensible that these things like the possibility of forcing a decision made by the british public into parliament on a brexit outcome using the courts should be well understood by the electorate way before the election was held.....this business of Sturgeon just out out of a scottish referendum defeat now trying to get another one going is just not good enough ; for a start it is unfair on the majority of scots that voted to remain in the UK and it is really just not acceptable that in a short period of time she is now pushing for another...there should be a time schedule decided previously that a minimum length of time say a decade should pass before any talk of referendums and independence can be held again......so it would be wise that the UK gets its governing ways in order ! before momentous elections are held....otherwise political chaos can ensue....

Am I getting this right that if these minority revolutionaries north of the border get their way : England, Wales and Northern Ireland will have the pound and our Celtic friends in Scotland and Ireland will rejoice in the Euro !.....this is a crazy outcome......
