Many thousands of species would disagree, and if our planet could have an opinion, it probably would too. .

You really do live in a world of imagination. Firstly Jean Claude Junker would not be president of a USE. He is currently the elected president of the EU Council for a five year term which ends in a little over a year's time, around the time of our departure from the EU. An EU Council will...

But I disagreed with your fundamental of giving money directly to anyone in Poland, and still do, for the reasons previously stated. .

Your responses just get more weird. I quoted and responded to your fourth sentence, the truth of which I challenged. .

I was posting about the benefit to the recipients, the Poles in this instance. What was done elsewhere with the benefit resulting from their work isn't relevant to the statement I was challenging. .

The record shows that isn't true. Wherever money is given directly it encourages corruption and waste and fails to achieve a raising of the recipients living standards. Africa, Greece et al are examples. Better results came from allowing the Poles to come here and work for the money. That...

If they do that they'll risk their bike business, since they've shown they haven't a clue on how to repair them, or even choose sensible brands and models to stock. .

If there was any truth in this, there would never have been improvement in life for any of us. We grow and enrich each other through progress. .

You carefully ignored this prior answer. It's the stepping stone, the opportunity to improve their lot which most have successfully seized. Just look at how much their wages have risen since joining the EU. But I doubt you will, like most Brexiters you hate the truth. .

Not so. Having shown how life has got better for half the countries that Woosh quoted, you tentatively agreed with the proposal of one doing even better by wholely making their own cars. All of which shows the EU is working to improve life for the newer entrants who are willing to improve...

They get richer and pay higher EU dues of course. Where's the problem in that? .

Hardly a fair judgement. The Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia have been making larger profits for richer EU countries as cheap manufacturing centres, particularly for cars. Slovakia for example with only 5 millions population produce well over 1 million cars a year. If...

Frosty? :D .

Just as so many MPs are not elected by Londoners, but they decide so many aspects of our lives. What level do we go down to with this objection, Parish Council? America manages to accept representatives from a huge range of ethnic backgrounds, and areas from Alaska to Hawai, so we should be...

Of the three I can say with confidence that Bombardier are by far the least guilty. That is quite simply because the other two supply "defence" aircraft, and the export sale of those has long been facilitated by corrupt inducements. .

I don't think it's just head in the sand, there are some fundamental problems. They need a network of dealers for car sales, but those car sales cannot support the dealers and their premises. They are reliant on the income from servicing and those very expensive large profit margin spares...

To me that reads like no change, they'll talk trade if we agree more payment and concede on the citizen's rights issue. .

The first generation Toyota Prius and other non-plugin hybrids are virtually that. Some plugin ones are not far removed either, the Chevrolet Volt, Chinese BYD, Mitsubishi PHEV and the auxilliary petrol version of the BMW i3. .

Which has strengthened your resolve. Say thank you! :) .

And he'd be sad to learn that it continued into the 21st century. .
