Im pretty certain the result said we were OUT,so what the hell has the Euro Parliament still got to do with the UK? O I know its all because its never going to happen,check out anytime you like etc

Your latest post just expresses why today's European Parliament election is more important than any other election in the history of the United Kingdom.

Agreed on that point of course,but im in two minds what to do,not to vote because they are all crims,or vote and stick up to fingers to the eu--gee its a tuff one.

Two fingers it is then Edy,plus the fact the polling station is only 50 yards away

Now hold on this is not the USA

Yes, and today everybody who truly believes in Brexit needs to get off his arse and vote for The Brexit Party to send a strong signal to T-H-E E-L-I-T-E-S.


So if no strong message is sent - say 'Brexit' polls around 40% of a very low turnout (again less than 40%) then the opposite message that you wish to be has been sent surely? It doesn't matter the amount of seats they get but the amount of votes they get - it doesn't really matter (for your purposes) how many 'the others' get as brexiters are the only ones that give a feck about these elections - which has a certain degree of irony!
And btw the 'pen' thing is fecking hilarious - please keep this comedy stream going as it was a great laugh in 2016!

If pens are allowed, why do all ballot boxes have pencils? Does using a pen spoil a vote? Have already voted anyway with the ballot box pencil.

labour for me, our time has come comrades

Have just tipped my metaphorical milkshake over the heads of Chuka, Vince, Treesa and Sourberry.
I've left Jezza out of it because he doesn't know which way to turn, poor thing but has at least opposed MV 1,2 and 3.

Voted for the Brexit Party, no time for any of the others.

Facts speaking **** as per usual.

AND when you got home from work your dad cut you into bits and fed you cold gravel!
LUXURY!

In many ways house prices are the root of many problems? They are stupidly high and if they were at a normal level then all the first time buyers complaining they can't get on the ladder would be an awful lot happier and a huge amount of hard-done-by-ness and inter-generational grief would just evaporate. Of course laws of supply and demand + massive uncontrolled immigration is obviously a large factor in that in immigration hotspots, despite protestations and idiotic denial from the usual suspects. That bitter beak faced Labour woman on Question Time flat denying there can be any link between the two .. still can't get over that.

And pointing such a simple fact out of course, ..... drum roll ...., will lead to accusations from the SJWs that you are a racist/fascist/xenophobe/hitler reincarnated.

The vast majority of people on zero-hours contracts don't actually want or need more work. They do it because it suits them.

Newer figures are available from the ONS covering the period from April to June 2018. They show that 72% of people on a zero hours contract expressing a preference said they didn’t want more hours, or 63% of everyone on the contracts (including the unknowns).

The average person on a zero hours contract in mid-2018 usually worked about 25 hours per week, compared to an average of 36 hours for everyone in employment.

Re immigration and house prices: for someone to complain about high house prices at the same time as promoting membership of the EU is confusing, to say the least. Even in the year to Sept. 2018, official net immigration from the EU was 57,000. In the previous year the figure was 192,000! That's a quarter of a million extra people to be housed (and cared for and educated) in two years. That's a city the size of Wolverhampton.

I don't notice a second Wolverhampton being built in the last couple of years (and nor should it be).

if somebody works 25 hours why not give em a 25 hour contract.

do folk on zero hours contracts understand what the difference is?

i'm sure the employers know the difference between giving them zero hours and 25 hour contracts.


full fact is a tory website, isnt it?

The trouble with giving people 25-hour contracts is that you have to be 100% sure you can find 25 hours' worth of work for them to do every single week without fail.

If you're running a business where orders and work fluctuates depending on factors outside your control, then zero-hours contracts allow you to take on business which you would otherwise have to turn down, or win business which you otherwise wouldn't owing to the cost of employing workers to do it on long-term contracts.

Basically, you can supply people with work which otherwise wouldn't exist.

On the other hand, you can indeed try to employ people on zero-hour contracts which are basically full-time ones without the benefits. But in an economy with a 3.8% unemployment rate, you're not going to be able to hold on to them for very long.

Yes, donny. No doubt that there are employers who are definitely taking the p1ss on workers' rights through zero-hours contracts (hello, Mike Ashley). The question is, how are they getting away with it in a nation with essentially full employment? (You never get 0%, as there are always some people between jobs.)

Well, having a limitless pool of cheap labour to call on from southern and central Europe certainly helps. Particularly if their own cost of living back home enables them to stick poor living and working conditions in the UK, yet go home later feeling wealthy.

It's all part of how the single EU market has enabled big business to transfer risk to smaller ones, and ultimately to employees. The just-in-time supply chain is another example of this. Someone, somewhere has to store parts and pay the associated costs. That someone always used to be the big-business end user. They bought parts from local suppliers and paid to warehouse them for when needed.

Now those big corporations can find a site in Romania which will build and supply the parts (and, most importantly, store them for delivery at a moment's notice) for a fraction of the cost, transferring all the risk to themselves, and able to do so because they're paying their local staff bugger all.

That's my argument: that the EU is a system to circumvent local protections which economics traditionally ensure for the little guy, by opening up opportunities for the big guys to screw over people elsewhere. Quite why the Left is so pro-EU is beyond me.

BTW: The guy in my local polling station said there was a big turnout? We shall wait what transpires - everything the man says about Brexit is a lie .

People at a drop of a hat are called racist to try to shut them up,to stop free speech,and the only one who backed up a troll who is proberly been paid to call someone a racist for the resons given was you JUST CHECKING

people who are racist are racist ....people that discuss issues are not






that would be fine screaming, if it wasnt across the board and applied in areas with
high immigrant numbers and also in areas with negative immigration numbers.

its used in other countries too, not just within eu, and seems to me to be a way
of avoiding treating staff fairly. they get away with it because the government
allows them to, not just conservative party.

lots of stuff gets blamed on eu, single market, etc, but folk were outsourcing to
eastern europe before countries were in eu, and the outsourcing to china is longterm
with little chance of china joining eu. labour has flowed into uk since last world war
to help us expand. migration from outside eu is controlled, or can be, but it seems
to have increased since brexit vote, as net flow from eu has reduced. migration figures
are freely available to back that up.

we will reach a point when our services cant cope, they are fairly critical now.

The "lefty" media already getting in the excuses for their "loss"

CNN pretty much blaming it on a few EU citizens being denied the chance to vote, well they are in the wrong country?

I'm sure the "righty" media will be lapping up a "victory", without realising the irony of it all, they've been denied their "brexit" and the fact they are voting in this is a big middle finger, but they'll be out in numbers soon to say how they've "won"
