The beginning of the migrant crisis.

EU threatens to stop aid if countries do not sent migrants home

Finally! Refugee status is being abused - we all know it. Economic migrants need to return to their own countries and it now has to be enforced as things cannot go on as they are. We can all sympathise with the plight of these people but there have to be other ways to address this.

Every Western country and Government, including France and Canada who previously seemed more open to the idea, has had enough of the sheer numbers involved.

Only about a year too late.The EU has handled this terribly.Especially Merkel.

They have. Merkel created this mess and she should pay for it with her job. Bumbling incomepetent woman who gave little thought to the impact it would have on others.

The migrant crisis should never have been allowed to get to the point it has. Gotta feel sorry for women and children living in Germany, Austria, and France :/

EU ban on powerful vacuum cleaners
 

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/846...it-news-latest

Don't know about anyone else but this is the first I have heard about this!:shocked:

I can't understand why there hasn't been more publicity about it! Stupid,stupid, stupid.

What about those with dust allergies and asthma? Absolute madness.

I currently have 2 dysons but now feel I should stock up for the future!

they're banning hoovers?

Power isn't the same as efficiency. All these new battery operated hoovers work on low energy but high efficiency so they won't be affected. Neither will any of the Dyson hoovers because none of them produce more than 1,600 watts. Before we all rush out and buy an about to be banned powerful vacuum cleaner, keep in mind that suction power is all in the design and not in the power.

:worry: I'm off to check the power rating on my precious Henry. They can't take him they just can't! I'll Brexit the CRAP out of this town before I let those goddang EU bureaucrats take my Henry :fist:.

The wattage drops from 1600 watts to 900 watts this September.
Dyson don't go above 1400 watts.
One of the reasons James Dyson wants us out of the EU.
Curry shave a small ball on offer for £199 this week.

I pray you are right - I swear by my Dysons.

I was thinking that Smudgie. Get at least one in reserve for the 'Unknown'. TBH I'm still in shock, a real bolt from the blue for me.

exsqueeze me?

Haha! I've got a Herny too and he's very good.

Wow, when did that change? Up until a year ago it was anything under 1600w :conf:

go to any general auction and you can pick up a 1600w for about a tenner

900w is too low and will make vaccuming a much more cumbersome job. That's EU 'progress' for you - clearly a decision made by men who likely have never vacuumed in their lives.

The good news is, Henry uses 620w. The older style Dyson uses 1190w but now have a range of 14 vacuum cleaners that sit at 900w or less. The other thing is, manufacturers are allowed to continue selling high wattage vacuums providing they don't make or buy in from abroad new stock.

The point of this is, high efficiency can still be used by using less energy because we now have the technology to do that, if we didn't, Dyson wouldn't have been able to make 14 low energy cleaners. It will cost us less in electricity and its globally friendly.

And you try and throw the sexist label at me!
I do my own vaccuming and i go around to my parents and do theirs as well 'cos they're getting on and don't find it easy.

Mines nearly as old as my first daughter. He's my only son!

Oh. Well Henry is like 20x better than a Dyson so maybe this proves size isn't everything...

Of course many men do do the vacuuming but I bet those Brussels bureaucrats that make these decisions don't.

Forget pets and asthma sufferers... What about those of us who have messy 5 year olds whose favourite snack is teeny, tiny cut up cubes of cheese :fist:.

Absolutely!!

Reconditioned machines are not restricted under EU law. In that case, big powered Dysons will be around forever.

:joker::joker: currys have.
iPad and my grammar make no sense.

Changes this September, so maybe starts on Friday.:shrug:

Educate yourself

omg I love my Henry too

theyre farking eejiots...why dont they try doing their own accounts for the first time in 20 years or reducing corporate fraud at all time levels running to 100s of trillions?

they'll have to get through me first before they take my henry :fist:

Yeah this.

The economic lies of the remain camp
 

https://www.bbench.co.uk/single-post...be-shattered-1

I think this piece does a lot to help dispel all the ridiculous scaremongering and downright lies from the remain camp to stop Brexit.

Also, as I stated in a previous thread, the hard Brexit, soft Brexit debacle is a con created by bitter remoaners. Soft Brexit is a Brexit in name only - effectively a no-Brexit. It is a blatant insult to everyone, whatever side of the debate, to expect them to buy into it.

http://www.express.co.uk/comment/col...EU-exit-at-all

None of it is referenced or cited at all, though, so how can it dispel anything? He's just saying stuff without providing any links to actual evidence if what he's saying. I'm not saying it's untrue (I couldn't say either way) or badly written... Just that it holds no more weight than any forum or social media post. It's just one guy sharing his thoughts with no verified facts or figures :shrug:.

It makes sense though and I doubt he would have put it out there if it was incorrect, as I'm sure the main points mentioned could fairly easily be proved or disproved with a bit of research.

Haven't had time to read the above as too long but would imagine an answer would be in there somewhere.

https://fullfact.org/europe/uk-jobs-and-eu/

This article was written a month before the referendum even happened

How does that affect The points he makes though?

'With a seat at the WTO, we will no doubt organise better trade deals for Britain instead of being tied to the failed Common Commercial Policy of the EU. Those who support Brexit are the true champions of globalisation, not the failed regionalisation of the EU that has caused abject misery across Europe.'

Well well who would have thought that brexit would mean more globalisation, let's hope these WTO deals are tied to free movement, I'll laugh my arse off.
