the UK and the EU

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by IIIIxX-IW_RI0_IW-XxIIII, Nov 17, 2014.

  1. It's right. Also I need to suggest that we are talking about people here. Families, young couples or singles (be a part of a family) whome decided to make a better life at a better place. EU isn't only of France, Germany and UK there are other countries are making the fillings of EU. EU is to make a strong union by string countries and backups. Also that in this 21th Century u never know that what bushes under born the next genius who even though going to create a new peaceful power supply'!?
     
  2. Well it won't be me but I try to be usefull member of this "economy". :)
     
  3. So you are Scottish. If is not secret can you tell you voted at the recent referendum?
     

  4. Sorry but the USA are not the first to go in to a war... Rewind to World War 2 Britain entered the war in late 1940 after Germany invaded Poland and the US didn't enter the war until mid 1940.

    While I do agree with most of your points (I'm an Indian and we have the same problem with immigrants from our surrounding countries) you may want to check your facts before making bold statements
     
  5. Actually no, I'm English, but I studied in Scotland. The point was that he was just assuming that I meant england when I said the uk
     
  6.  
  7. GO CANADA 


    (Sorry thought Canada could use some love in this world debate)
     
  8. Rooney it was September 1939 for the UK and Dec 1941 for the USA to enter world war 2 respectively .
    The uk entered following the German/ Russian invasion of Poland the USA after the pearl harbour attack in December and the subsequent declaration of war by Germany on America.
     
  9. Seems I need to take my own advice and check my facts lol... But exact dates side my objection stands
     
  10. 1847 famine, England harvested potatoes and cabbages in ireland, small % of food with the majority of sustanance coming from the common wealth and india
     
  11. I hope UK will leave EU. Then enjoy the less jobs, the more expensive products. But its fine. You can harvest potatoes and cabbage in Ireland...if they let you to that :)
     
  12. Lol England can and will survive without Europe, it's because of eu that our prices are high now because were paying for useless eu country's rife with coruption and failing dismally to balance the books because they have nothing to give, just take take take like spoilt children, no more, free England from the chains of eu leeches.
     
  13. Immigrants to the UK since 2000 have made a "substantial" contribution to public finances, a report says.
    The study by University College London said recent immigrants were less likely to claim benefits and live in social housing than people born in Britain.
    The authors said rather than being a "drain", their contribution had been "remarkably strong".
    The government said it was right to have strict rules in place to help protect the benefits system.
    Immigrants who arrived after 1999 were 45% less likely to receive state benefits or tax credits than UK natives in the period 2000-2011, according to the report by Prof Christian Dustmann and Dr Tommaso Frattini from UCL's Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration.
    They were also 3% less likely to live in social housing.
    "These differences are partly explainable by immigrants' more favourable age-gender composition. However, even when compared to natives with the same age, gender composition, and education, recent immigrants are still 21% less likely than natives to receive benefits," the authors say.
    'Highly-educated immigrants'
    Those from the European Economic Area (EEA - the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) had made a particularly positive contribution in the decade up to 2011, contributing 34% more in taxes than they received in benefits.
    Immigrants from outside the EEA contributed 2% more in taxes than they received in the same period, the report showed.
    Over the same period, British people paid 11% less in tax than they received.
    Despite the positive figures in the decade since the millennium, the study found that between 1995 and 2011, immigrants from non-EEA countries claimed more in benefits than they paid in taxes, mainly because they tended to have more children than native Britons.
    The report also showed that in 2011, 32% of recent EEA immigrants and 43% of non-EEA immigrants had university degrees, compared with 21% of the British adult population.
    Graph
    The research used data from the British Labour Force Survey and government reports. Prof Dustmann said it had shown that "in contrast with most other European countries, the UK attracts highly-educated and skilled immigrants from within the EEA as well as from outside".
    He added: "Our study also suggests that over the last decade or so, the UK has benefited fiscally from immigrants from EEA countries, who have put in considerably more in taxes and contributions than they received in benefits and transfers.
    "Given this evidence, claims about 'benefit tourism' by EEA immigrants seem to be disconnected from reality."

  14. Yada yada yada
     
  15. Non English uni degrees printed in a sweat shop, those degrees that actually have no weight behind them, those ones?
     
  16. I gave you facts and sources. You gave me "yada yada yada", assumptions and chitchatting about how you harvested potatoes and cabbage in Ireland almost 200 years ago. But of course you are entitled to want whatever you think is the best for you and your country. Hopefully I'm the blinded one and not you and leaving EU will bring you a 10k/month job, a huge castle and a Ferrari for every color of the rainbow.
    But after that, haters gonna hate, no? Who's next after EU? Scotland? Wales? Northen Ireland? How long gonna take until you'll rant about how much you support them?
     
  17. Lmao, at least u still have a sense of humor lol, and it's 12k a month... just saying lol
     
  18. Ok. Then i wish double! 24k/month
     
  19. Side note,I have skilled migrants employed by my employer, however 90% are unskilled and the ones with 'degrees ' need retraining to English standards, we also vet all applications and a huge number of migrants with 'degrees ' attended a university that doesn't even exist, (alot of migrants seem to think the English are to lazy and stupid to check their credentials ).
     
  20. Come to England vlad and you will get 24k a month + a solid gold toilet seat and a Butler to wipe your ass,make sure you bring all of your extended family and friends, hell, bring your pets! We have room lol
