In just when you thought you'd seen it all news episode #87968567866009798149823

 

Frost has opened up to suggestion laws that we should get rid of which are part of the overlap with the EU legal decoupling.

 

Amazing news.

 

I'm sure 'Clive' from Solihull who wants to get rid of environmental protections that have hindered big buisness from polluting and disposing of waste is right and his supporters, all strangely with an email address @BP, are just concerned citizens.

 

Incompetent cunts.

The EU is giving approx 330 billion euros in aid to manly wealthy farmers over the next six years. Its agriculture overhaul will help but still fails to meet Climate change targets. 

 

Although the EU is far from the only culprit it's agricultural aid and subsidies system has been a reverse Robin Hood tax, tax all the people to give massive hand outs to rich/wealthy landowners.

You're right, but there's not much point in singling out the EU for special attention.

(There's an alternate universe in which a Corbyn Government within the EU could have had some influence on this. Instead, the 51.9% voted not to influence EU policies and then voted for a Tory Government that is wholly on the side of the climate-destroyers in any case )

Eu farm subsidies have simply seen a policy of massive corruption which has helped in the destruction of our planet. Its also aided inequality.

In terms of scale, probably the biggest financial scam in human history. Billions transferred from the European working class tax payer to millionaire landowners over decades and all in plain sight. It’s unbelievable that anyone on the left could defend this.

Wow

 

"no point in singling out the eu"

 

the EU have for decades given a freebie to the super wealthy whilst approx 20% of Europe's under 25s were unemployed because of EU backed austerity. 

 

I think critics have a very good point Angry; not no point as if a person is suffering from some sort of  Stockholm syndrome but a cast iron point. The small side issue is the destruction of the planet to accommodate the greed of the European wealthy.

Are you happy to give every single country in the G20 a free pass for their piss-poor record on climate change, then? Just so you can bang on endlessly about your one and only obsession?

 

Or do you think it might be more sensible to criticise all of the cunts for their actions?

Oh come on Angry, you're on solid ground with most of your arguments with that I agree but the EU agricultural policy has been nothing but a fraud for the past 20 or so years, plus its helped destroy the planet. 

 

You can't brush it off with the simple 'oh well a lot of others have done it' so let's not be too critical; defence surely?

 

  It's been a fucking catastrophic policy for everyone in Europe and the world bar the European elite.

Good job we are out of Europe because nothing says ‘I told you so’ than empty supermarket shelves. 
 

Now we are out of their corrupt scheme we can show them the real winners. As long as it doesn’t involve standing up too long as rickets hurts. 

Rico obviously not understanding the age old reason why people who go on strike try to disrupt the flow of prodic they produce or the service they perform, like miners etc try to stop the flow of coal so the wider public appreciate their worth.

I doubt you'll starve Rico, stop being so melodramatic, a few in the food chain might bump in a pay rise though, otherwise the asparagus for the dinner party is off.

Surely if you are in some sort of club, that is doing something you dont agree with, the sensible thing would to collect with some like minded individuals and try to change it?

Not to storm off on your own,causing yourself irreparable damage in the process?

Not going to happen, right wing capitalism ain't listening to no one, look at Greece.

The latest round came in under a Conservative government who were able to limit the amounts received by the top earners (and reallocate money into other areas) but chose not to.

 

The problem with a lot of the 'we can do this now we're not part of the EU' arguments is we usually could before but there was no appetite for it politically.
