EU and Japan finalise world’s largest free trade deal

The immigration issue seems rather simple to me: stop issuing NIN's to everyone who wants one, impose heavy fines on anyone employing illegal workers and the number of immigrants will go down.

Most EU immigrants come to the UK because they think they know English and have heard there's good work opportunities with OK pay. If not able to work - they'll go to other EU countries.

Not that it matters after 2019.

Truck drivers delivering goods and going back are not immigrants, Jesus... neither are students without work permissions. And a British lorry will easily go all the way to Poland without being asked anything or even stopped by anyone, right now. And vice-versa.

There would be no seizure of assets from private entities. That would be idiotic.

They'll simply wait for the next time the UK wants something and then put the previous debt in their face before saying a word.

Really can't just ignore the largest trade bloc for long...

prodmerc · 2017-12-10T11:24:22+00:00

Pfft, try Birmingham or Coventry, I'm pretty sure they forgot the Midlands even exist :D

Germany requires Polish truck drivers to earn German minimum wage as soon as they cross the border.

What? Ok I haven't followed the news since Germany introduced minimum wage a few years ago, but this was certainly not the case... Most truck drivers get paid per KM anyway.

Are you saying truck drivers should drop goods at the port and let UK drivers complete the delivery?

That would be the dumbest thing I've read today. Any drivers delivering goods from/to the EU and outer countries can do so completely on their own.

I don't know what agreements govern that, but it makes the most sense. And passing through countries they also do it themselves, they just get a transit permit right at the border.

Not being allowed to do a complete route by a single truck/driver would be disastrous for both the importer and exporter.

Well yeah, in general I guess. Anyone with kids will be dead by the time shit hits the fan.

prodmerc · 2017-12-10T00:42:54+00:00

Weeell, I mean, use your gun and you're dead, so the risk/reward is very high/low. So pretty much give away all their rights.

prodmerc · 2017-12-09T19:21:03+00:00

Welcome to the world. Don't think too much about it, it's fun while it lasts.

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T22:34:46+00:00

I think you might want to ten-fold it. And maybe preemptively attack. Seeing as fighting a third of German forces during WW2 bankrupted the whole empire.

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T22:32:25+00:00

Well, the government could've just stood their ground, but instead, as you say, they're bending over and taking it. That's not the EU's fault. The UK could've just walked away and showed everyone two fingers. Go vote for a new government then, since this one sucks apparently.

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T22:24:53+00:00

It actually might. The food in the UK is quite different than all of the mainland. The houses are even worse.

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T22:23:07+00:00

Everything but the language applies to the EU, as well. Why the fuck do you STILL think the Polish, for example, are soooo much different than the Portuguese? They're fucking not. Same shit, different location. They just speak a different language. A united Europe will be great if given the chance to succeed.

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T22:20:35+00:00

Hurr Durr but the EU army! Which will somehow automagically be completely subservient to ~~the Germans~~ central authority.

Even though it is impossible to achieve such deep integration and devotion even in several generations.

Point is, durr EU armeee!

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T22:16:00+00:00

No changes to travel for non-EU citizens.

Buy GBP if you want to sell it 20-40 years from now (not sure you'll make a profit though). And it will go lower in 2019, so might as well wait until then.

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T22:14:30+00:00

Make a referendum for a hard border for all of the UK and the complete exit from anything related to the EU.

^that ^will ^go ^very ^well!

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T22:12:33+00:00

There is no taking back control. And immigration will be curbed by limiting the rights to work. Which the UK could've done anyway while in the EU. lol.

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T22:06:47+00:00

If you can get a job (on a contract) now in pretty much any Schengen country, you can keep living and working in the EU post-Brexit, I believe.

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T21:59:54+00:00

Yeah it's interesting.

I wonder where all the people whose grandpas were killed by a random mortar round as soon as they engaged in battle are?

/s, and this thread is too inspiring for some reason. War is hell, you can die in way less awesome circumstances. Like drowning (whould'a thought?)...

prodmerc · 2017-12-08T21:55:36+00:00

Oh yeah, the movies on black and white VHS, right? :D

prodmerc · 2017-12-07T21:24:14+00:00

I like all the stinky cheeses (pretty sure I've tried them all?), would love to try that fish stuff!

prodmerc · 2017-12-07T21:20:55+00:00

Sounds nice! :D

prodmerc · 2017-12-07T21:19:52+00:00

Dammit guys, now I really want to try some of this fermented fish stuff!

prodmerc · 2017-12-07T21:16:06+00:00

Well there's the problem right there - some assholes imposed Latin script on the language, totally fucking it up on paper :D

prodmerc · 2017-12-07T21:12:09+00:00

Or the murder of the US! (which was actually a suicide huehuehue)

prodmerc · 2017-12-05T18:34:01+00:00

The EDF alone is worth what, 1 trillion? So yeah...
