Typical lie. Bc as it happened they integrated well and added another dimension to the already multicultural society. Not to mention excellent sausages in east European shops.

That's just what a freeloading pole would say :smug:

Until an extension has been written into law, there shouldn't be another election. It makes me suspicious that Boris is so insistent on an election though, Brexit Party will be draining the tories of a lot of votes to the point they probably won't even get the chance at a hung government. I suppose they might be hoping that the same happens to Labour and Lib Dems and that the tories will be able to snatch a coalition with another party again.

The only other thing that makes sense (but is also very unlikely) is that the Tories want to hand over the reigns to another party so that they get the brunt of the Brexit **** while the Tories recuperate and prepare for the next election. Brexit has laid waste to the Tories and it wouldn't be surprising if they're willing to lose to plan ahead.

How Stinking Rotten
of the EU to not give us a Date
of the new 3rd Extension on Monday
before any vote at 5PM , I assume.

I would not do any vote now
until the POXY EU give us a DATE
France is giving them trouble
Sort that bugger OUT.

The SNP and LibDems agree for a General Election
3 days earlier on Dec 9th Monday

Johnson PM should do that

Sod Labour.............................

The LibDem Leader is on Marr BBC1HD 9AM

i'm a remainer, just putting that out there :laugh: ... but, the whole point of brexit is that the UK is in control. So if people feel they need better rights, they should vote for the party that wants that and put them in government. If labour think it's an issue, they can't have any confidence that they will end up in power.

"No Deal" will be removed

From the Guardian's economics editor:

Quote:

All week Labour MPs have been lining up to say that only by staying closely aligned with the EU can the socially progressive rights that Brussels has delivered be protected.

There is one problem with this idea: it is complete nonsense. Britain’s labour market has been reshaped over the past 40 years by deregulation, privatisation and anti-trade union laws, not by the limited protections delivered by the EU, which are weaker in practice than they sound in principle...This should not come as a surprise, because from its earliest days the overriding principle behind the European project has been to make life easier for capital, which is why multinational corporations like it so much. While the pro-employer bias has been there since the Treaty of Rome in 1957 it has become more pronounced in recent years as the slowdown in growth, entrenched high unemployment and the crisis in the eurozone have prompted calls for European labour markets to become more “flexible”.

Anybody who suggested to Greek workers that they should look to Brussels to protect their rights would be given short shrift. It speaks volumes that when a structural adjustment programme was imposed on Athens as the price of financial support in 2015, it was the International Monetary Fund that sought to tone down the hardline demands of the Commission and the European Central Bank, for whom the imperative was to safeguard the profits of European banks rather than to protect Greek workers.

The truth is that social Europe never delivered all that much, even in the days when the European economy was in much better shape than it is currently. That’s because a succession of EU treaties has enshrined in law four basic freedoms for business: the right to provide services; the right to establish an enterprise; the right to move capital; and the right to move labour. These freedoms trump all other considerations, including the right of workers to withdraw their labour.

...

In consequence, the only sure way to advance workers’ rights is to elect a government pledged to full employment and collective bargaining. The notion that only Brussels stands in the way of a barrage of deregulation betrays not just a misunderstanding of the way the EU operates but also a deep and irrational pessimism on the left, a belief that the Conservatives will be in power for ever no matter what they do. The left doesn’t need the EU to fight its battles. What it needs is to make the case for better working conditions and win over a public sick of a labour market loaded in favour of employers. With a bit of self-confidence it shouldn’t be that difficult.

Also remember that in some areas like maternity leave and holiday allowance we have much stronger laws for employees than is required by the EU

No Kizzy
it's the Conservatives do not trust Labour

and Labour does not trust the Conservatives

A General Election
must happen
it can change and wash away
bad MP's of every party.

What's this to do with the reasonings Labour have given for not wanting an election yet?

It's been said countless times why Corbyn won't agree till no deal is off the table .. are some being deliberately thick not acknowledging this important factor?

Diane Abbot explained it concisely and yet it's not been understood :/

The whole page is fooked bc yet again Arista can't be arsed to resize his images
