Yeah me either as it is off topic. But in response, it is not a ban on people of one religion entering the country. It is a ban on people from 7 terror prone countries entering. For the passing news consumer, it would be very easy to be led

No I can't. But if I had wrote this piece I would slap an absolutely massive disclaimer at the top warning leakers-to-be that these steps alone are very far from properly protecting yourself.

This piece is so incredibly irresponsible. If someone uses this to leak truly important information, they should not be surprised to quickly receive knock on the door and a dark cell. There are many people in a position to leak things who a

But what if local communities place more value on preserving their culture as it has been than their finances? Are their wishes just to be ignored?

But if the primary concern of the electorate are cultural changes this is an irrelevant gesture. Now some might say it is racist or xenophobic to want to maintain the culture of your local community. I don't believe it is. It is a good

How about addressing the widespread concerns that cause "populism" even if it means setting back your own ulterior agenda? Brexit and immigration is a good example of this. Blair decided mass immigration was a good idea for a numb

Yes I think you are right about their current situation. The federal goal however is never what the people of Europe were sold. This mission was essentially hidden to the people of the countries as it was sold as a trade union. They likely

So your original post was in regard to negative financial consequences, not quality of life. So far the UK has far exceeded expectations since Brexit especially compared to EU countries. Luckily you have articulated and agreed with one of t

Extremely interesting times indeed. Massive political changes will always involve a certain amount of pain, but I believe the writing has been on the wall since 2008 and from political actions taken since. The problem as I see it, is that t

As he studies economics he is probably aware of quarterly GDP growth rates across the EU, including 2016/7 + projections. Or is GDP "sugar plum fairies and nationalism."?

What has any of that got to due with the poster not meeting the expected level of discourse? Just because you are personally upset it does not mean that histrionic and aggressive posting is suitable.

He covers your type of attitude very well in this excellent piece. You are doing yourself no service in holding this view steadfast. You will learn nothing and only be patting yourself on the back for having the right-on opinion that is lik
