Should the UK remain a member of the EU

[Gnasher]

Neg me I'm an easy target. Crack on.

 

Anyone care to discuss or disagree with the fact that Europe has seen a rise in inequality since the 80s? Or are you comfortable with it?

Of course inequality involves a small.little point of a lot of people getting poorer because a lot of people get a good deal richer so I'm probably just being a moaning Minnie.

 

Do you really think people are worse off now than they were in the 70s?

In general yes I do. Of course medical science has improved vastly  but economic inequality has risen, job security has fallen, political apathy has become the norm and global warming ain't too cool. The internet has improved life in a lot of areas although it's a double edged sword but on the whole I believe we are collectively worse off than the 70s.

Full disclosure: if they asked for a vote again, I’d still vote remain.

The UK motor industry is investing next to nothing (at a time when structural changes demand huge investments in greener technology) because all their money is tied up in preparing for Brexit.

Democrats reiterating no deal with the US if we fuck with the GFA. We seem to be quite attracted to no deals at the moment.

 

There again, the Tories might just get rid of NI and that'd solve that.

Gnasher, are you having Findus Crispy Pancakes and Birds Eye Potato Waffles for tea? 

 

Anyway, David Frost said he’s not a fan of maintaining workers rights as promised by May. Who could possibly have predicted that?

Caused by Tory austerity you mong. The same Tories you're siding with over that thing you didn't vote in. Take this over to a different thread.

I don't know, I guess it hasn't, globalization and technology seems to have increased income inequality in developed countries over that period, which the article you linked kind of acknowledges. The article also seems to suggest that the factors influencing income inequality are mostly internal, country by country or region, since there are variations between regions and between countries depending on their particular redistribution through tax model.

Thanks for the insult but you do realise mass  inequality is not just an English thing to be proud ?

 

 

. I could cite somewhere like Greece but it seems the elite on here would rather not discuss it.

Yes I take your points about globalization. It's a tricky one to assess that's true, but on the whole inequality has widened and life has got harder; it's the the way it is.

Leaving the EU is something that should never have been put to a public vote in the first place! Its not fucking Love Island or X Factor!

 

Leavers hate it when people say they don't know what they were voting for, but its true! How could anybody possibly know all the implications of leaving the European Union, without knowing how we would leave and the impact it would have on so many different things? Even now people don't really know and Brexit is 4 months overdue!

 

Also the reasons some people voted leave were nothing to actually do with leaving the European Union! I know 5 people that only voted leave because they wanted David Cameron to resign. I know one person that voted leave because 'there are too many Asians coming in to this country'! Theo Paphitis voted leave, not because he wanted to leave, but he wanted the EU to reform and renegotiate with us!! Imagine thinking that by voting leave your vote would be interpreted as reform and renegotiate! Many many people literally only voted leave because of the 350 million nhs bus bullshit!    

 

The problem is there is no way to fix it. A second referendum would still end up being close, and even if remain were to win all it would do is mean the Brexit Party would continue to rise as all the angry Brexiteers would vote for them at the next election. A snap election won't solve anything as both the major parties have so many leave and remain voters, it would probably lead to a Tory paryt propped up by Farage.

 

I honestly don't see any good way out of this?

A woman I work with voted to leave the EU because she didn't like the European Court of Human Rights.  Leaving aside the obvious point that humans have a vested interest in the protection of human rights, I told her that the ECHR isn't an EU institution and that we would still be a member after Brexit.  She just went quiet and blinked a bit.

Do any non-politicians within the EU have any interest in Brexit?

 

We in Ireland obviously do, withe whole border thing.

But places like Italy or Greece. Is it even registering?

A lot of good points and very sensible but life and politics sometime need the irrational, which is what whe have now got. Out of chaos comes order. The old guard had to fall, the future is now there for the taking .

Not so much as here is my guess although as a side note i do know the the youth of Greece gave the eu  president Junaker a very very  warm welcome the last time he went there. They pelted the cunt with petrol bombs

My Italian in laws and friends don't care at all. It's not even discussed. Next to nothing on the news about it either.

There's probably a fair few Spaniards in the Costa del Gobshite dreaming of sending the obese Anglo-Saxon walking piles of skin cancer back to the shithole country they came from.
