Is the poster of people at the EU border trying to get in?

has the EU done a deal with Turkey to send some of these people back who do not qualify because there is a limit to how many refugees the EU countries are willing to take?

NF should print a poster with the words outside the EU Parliament:


At the entrance to the Visitors Centre of the European Parliament, there is a plaque with these words:

    “National sovereignty is the root cause of the most crying evils of our times….The only final remedy for this evil is the federal union of the peoples.”   

The Telegraph from April continues:

The destruction of national sovereignty is the ideological driving force behind the Brussels oligarchs as they plot to build their federal superstate. 

That explains why they are so obsessed with free movement, mass immigration and cultural diversity. Those are all instruments for smashing traditional nationhood and creating a new common European citizenship. As the EU’s rulers know only too well, a country without any borders or identity is not a country at all.

There is no argument.

They've seen something on social media that says it's offensive so post it up here without knowing anything about it. We then got shrieks and abuse when challenged.

They are not quite sure why it is offensive but they insist that it is.
Handwringing at every opportunity because they can't quite nail Farage down, so they twist their own interpretation of the rhetoric and scream 'racist'.

It's funny because the Easter Europeans i know admit that they are collectively far more racist than Farage. They don't have much experience of the melting pot back home in Poland or Latvia.

In what way was the poster with the refugees factual? The number of people applying for asylum, and the number of syrians being resettled in a UK resettlement programme, is miniscule.

The people with refugee status living in Germany and other EU member states don't get to just travel to and enter the UK either.

So tell me - what is the poster's factual message towards the UK's population? How do Syrian refugees that can not travel to the UK matter?

You know there are passport controls at Eurotunnel. You know there are passports control on ferries. You know there are passport controls at airports. You know the EU does not have the means or will to force any member states to take in refugees against their will. You know that the refugee travel document does not allow visa-free travel into the UK.

So I'll ask again: How is a large queue of Syrian refugees at the slovenian border factual and relevant to the UK's population?

The poster reads the EU has failed us all. Over a million migrants and refugees have reached the EU with all the pressures that entails. Previous year 280,000. This has happened and is factual. European interior ministers trying to get Romania Slovakia and the Czech Republic to take quota's and have been told to bugger off and the EU is supposed to be a harmonious place. It stands to reason that these people will have to go somewhere and as we are a cash cow for Brussels I have no doubt that they will end up here if we vote to remain. On top of this our membership fees will increase and the taxpayer will foot the bill for mass migration into the European zone as most of our fellow European countries are piss poor and have no money left. Once these refugees are naturalised and given the prize of an EU passport in the years ahead and our great leaders have totally caved in to European rule we will no doubt see plenty more of our refugee friends in the forthcoming years.

GEORGE Osborne was last night attacked on live TV for claiming Brexit would hit pensioners as he reluctantly admitted their income would actually be protected.
Presenter Andrew Neil told the Chancellor he should be ‘ashamed’ of a pro-EU advert showing an elderly woman holding an empty purse.
Last month, Mr Osborne had prompted controversy by claiming that quitting the EU would trigger higher inflation, leaving pensioners losing as much as £32,000.
In last night’s BBC interview, he continued to insist the elderly had ‘a lot to be scared about if we leave the EU’.
However, under heavy pressure from Mr Neil, he conceded pensioners would benefit from a ‘triple lock’ on their incomes.
This Government measure is enshrined in law and means the State pension will always rise by inflation or the rate of earnings or 2.5 per cent. Even if prices spike, their income will never rise by less than inflation.
During their fraught 30-minute encounter, Mr Neil pointed to the empty purse poster released by the Osborne-backed Britain Stronger in Europe group. He then told the Chancellor: ‘You’ve been scaring pensioners. You should be ashamed of yourself.’
Report edy June 21, 2016 1:48 AM BST
You're making a number of wrong assumptions.

If the UK doesn't want to take in refugees, it doesn't have to. The UK has always blocked an EU-wide refugee programme (hence making its own that you mentioned earlier). The UK is not in the voluntary "coalition of the willing", countries willing to take in refugees from the italian and greek hotspots, and it will not be.

The housing costs of refugees are not paid from the EU budget either.

Regarding the naturalisation: I don't see how people that have lived in a European country for a number of years (I think 6-8 is the minimum requirement), have proven their language skills, have proven that they work and can feed themselves and have proven that they are law abiding people during that time should be seen as something negative.
Report Wildone June 21, 2016 1:53 AM BST
edy, if costs of refugees are not paid for by EU budget how does EU allow free movement?


That aspect is unreconcilable IMO.

Furthermore, if EU allows free movement why is there not a EU budget for social security???  Why is their not a budget for conception and so forth???

Any one with have a brain can see to beat the system have kids and move to the place where the most money is disrupting the social fabric.

So those in eastern Europe are playing the game well, If Britain want to stay in Europe they are going to have to produce more kids at a growing rate or leave to survive!!
Report edy June 21, 2016 1:53 AM BST
and since they need to already have a job to become citizen in e.g Germany, I'd put the chances of them going to the UK in desperate search of another one the moment they get a German passport rather low. Let's face it, the weather ain't making anyone come.

How can someone get citizenship by having a job???

In regards to markets citizenship is worth more than a job. SO people will come, get a job, then get citizenship.

Thats a no brainer because getting citizenship for a job is overvaluing the job and not representing market value of the citizenship!!!

I don't understand your first question. Please elaborate.

There is no common social security system and so on because of singular national interests. You know, local governments hate giving away authority.

Your point on children is nonsense and inflamatory. It was also only recently ruled that the UK can deny child benefits to people that don't work.

How can someone get citizenship by having a job???

That's one of the requirements. All those things I listed need to be fullfilled, i.e have been in the country for a long time AND job AND law-abiding AND language test amongst some other smaller requirements. You can't just be there for a week, get a job and apply for citizenship.

Report edy June 21, 2016 2:06 AM BST
absolutely, shab, I fully agree there. The EU has mostly failed in the refugee crisis because a lot of member states sadly fell back into national egoisms and the EU doesn't have the power and authority, contrary to the tyranny that it is often accused of, to effectively and quickly handle something like the refugee crisis if members can't agree.
Report Wildone June 21, 2016 2:16 AM BST
Edy what I am saying is the costs of citizenship are not borne by the salary of a job!!

So how can citizenship be attached to a job and a set of tests???


Furthermore how does being a citizen give anyone the right to be responsible for having a child?? What is inflammatory about that???

No one has the right to be responsible for a child??? It is not a right, it is a duty!!! 

This is where EU has misplaced values regarding human reality. A person is not entitled to benefits because they have a job!!! A person is entitled to benefits because the society is sustainable. If the society is not sustainable then people move and people do not have kids except for people not willing to assume duties for having kids!!
