A bit like when you blamed the EU for Italy's issues with money lost through organised crime? Yeah right.

Here you go twisting what I said again and the other word twister agrees with you.

My point was the waste of money that was supposed to make life better for those mainly in southern Italy had billions taken by fraud. The EU knew this. But without putting something in place to try and stop the frauds happening they continued to pump more billions into Italy via the same way.

This isn't blaming the EU for it happening. This is saying that they should have been more careful with the money instead of keep giving more without doing anything about it when they knew for many years it was happening.

But of course you like to make out that I said what I didn't. It stops me from going on about how crooked the EU is. As confirmed by the EU commission. So it wouldn't surprise me if some from the EU are involved in some way.

They have to meet criteria.

When they have met them they can join. They were supposed to join in 2015, but didn’t meet the criteria.

Why should economies automatically become weaker? Romania is not exactly a major player. When people do deals in Romania they often talk in Euros. That was so in 2010, last time I was there, when my mate was extending his hotel. His costs were in Euros as the materials, such as shower units, were imported. The prostitutes were talking euros long before any official policy. I don’t think there will be any major changes. It will save costs for business though as exchange rates and forward buying and selling to cover import and export trades will fall away.

I don’t see why the current economy should be a criterium as it will probably be different in 2024.

More anti EU waffle. Now, back to the UK.... how’s Brexit playing out? And what known benefits can we look forward to?

It was Seehofer‘s idea. Merkel was against and so was the SPD. It got watered down as I said.

What got watered down other than when it was pointed out that it was against human rights? The same human rights that the EU is supposed to defend?

Merkel wanted to send them back to where they first registered, if they were already registered. That is only a small percentage of migrants. She has signed several countries up to that. Seehofer wanted the holding camps. The SPD put paid to that. No new buildings were built and the time of holding people before sending them back was reduced to a few days.

So only a small amount landed elsewhere than Germany?

What atrocities? Violent crimes, yes, but atrocities no. And not that many violent crimes. A 10% increase in total. Not necessarily just migrants.

The latest crime in the headlines will probably be manslaughter because the guy died of a heart attack caused by having a heart disease ( and the stress of the fight ). Hardly premeditated murder or an atrocity.

The last atrocity was December 2016y

If I wanted to compare Germany to the UK, I would simply take knife crime and murder rate in London and compare it with Berlin. Game over. But what has that got to do with leaving the EU? Do you expect terror atrocities in the UK to stop, or knife crime, acid sttacks and Moped robbery in London to drop as a benefit of Brexit? I don’t get your logic. I think you have poor arguments and so just attack Juncker, Selmayr and Germany in general instead of putting forward coherent arguments for leaving the EU and telling us what benefits we can expect in Brexit Britain.

It won't stop. Because they are already in the UK. And they were allowed because they came from EU countries. But they won't find it anywhere near as easy to enter once we leave.

So yes thanks for pointing out a good reason for leaving.

So you agreed that the last time they tried to blame Brexit it was down to them sticking with diesel engines that the EU want the production of to end. This is why people have stopped buying diesel cars.

Then you have JLR that have been pulling out of the UK since well before Brexit. But now they have an excuse.

But of course it is something for you to use.

Funny, Grendel says it is all Brexit bluster. An IT consultant who is advising JLR and Aldi UK ( both are dependent on just in time supply flows ) told me only on Friday that JLR are worried about Brexit disrupting supply chains and that they would be screwed. Basically what Speth is saying. According to Grendel JLR is more than just supply chains. So, obviously you and Grendel are right, and Speth and the consultants are wrong. Now... back to the benefits we can expect from Brexit.. what are they?

The result of the campaign against diesel cars is that there will be a demand for electric or hybrid cars in the future. A great market for JLR. Will JLR produce the cars in the UK or in the EU, and do you think Brexit will affect the decision?

Savings?

Millions are destitute. Youth unemployment at record levels although down recently. Unemployment as a whole over 10%.

And the future?

You blamed the UK government several times for not removing those who shouldn't be here. Until you was shown the human rights debacle. Then you stuck up for it saying that the UK will get rid of it once we leave the EU.

Is Brexit the reason for it happening like you always try to make out?

Just like you tried to blame Brexit for Ford pulling out of the UK. And tried not to admit to the truth when shown it. And the EU lent them the money to move the Tranny being made in the UK to Turkey.

At least you try to blame everything on Brexit.

? You mean for EU citizens, with passports, who came as tourists or looking for work, but became a cost to the state, as opposed to refugees from non EU countries and without papers? Two totally different categories. Where did I stand up for the UK taking rights off EU people after Brexit? The whole point of EU rights is that they cannot be taken from you. I think you are confusing something.. again. It is one more reason for opposing Brexit.

What?!!! I said the opposite about Ford. The Transit project was loaned 80 million in 2012. the money will be paid back in 2022. Nothing to do with stealing jobs and nothing to do with Brexit. Just a Faragism thrown in to wind people up.

Italy is screwed. Was screwed. Will continue to be screwed as long as a populist government doesn’t actually attend parliament and prefers to keep attacking migrants and others instead of seriously getting down to business.

You mainly go on about me waffling without saying what about. And not answering questions from myself. Would say the two are linked.
