I'm certainly predicting that if Pedro Sanchez said to Angela Merkel "fire me some lads from Latvia to boot f**k out of some protesters" (which he clearly wouldn't anyway) the answer wouldn't be affirmative.

NotThePars Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Given the EU is compromising right and further right over immigration and building Fortress Europe I don’t think any sort of European army would be a benign force. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Good thing the EU has freedom of movement then. If life is such hardship in Greece and Italy, one only has to move to another member state. Isn’t that freedom of movement contingent on having a job? Not everyone has the money to uproot and move either without getting into the myriad of reasons that keep people within the community they call home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be broke in France with nothing to lose and hike your way to Germany if you believe there are better opportunities there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the worst things we're losing, especially for young folk. I spent the years after school working on grape picking in France, oil rigs out of Aberdeen , factories in Amsterdam and building sites in Greece, without mentioning the stuff that would still be illegal now. Europeans should have a chance to wander around, take a job when offered, without applying for work permits and all that totally unnecessary bureaucracy. The right wing used to talk about cutting out red tape, Brexit will treble it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right wing used to talk about cutting out red tape, Brexit will treble it. This has what has appalled me the most about the whole thing. Old duds and a few young no brain fuds have allowed themselves to swallow all the plucky little englunder bullshit. The brexit vote wasn't about protest....it was about self deluded idiots who believe in their own exceptionalism. The laughable thing is that this "exceptional" people by and large are total brain dead no marks. Everyone sees that except them. In the process they have deprived the rest of us of opportunity. F@ck this United kingdom. F@ck it....... I'm a Scottish person..get me outta here 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 17th century Scottish history is batshit mental and exhausting to follow. The shortbread tin version of history promoted in schools and the BBC barely touches the surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 A mate of mine just completed a dissertation on public expression of emotion in 17th century Scotland. Apparently they could rival the Diana esque grief culture we’ve developed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
