Re: EU commission and Greece
Our glorious prime minister is stating that the deal to withhold benefits for eu migrants can be with held for up to 4 years, this is dependant on circumstances !, but it appears this is depending on the EU vetting the circumstances. Looks like we are in for another stitch up, kt

Re: EU commission and Greece
I see that the greatest British politician of the last two decades (well he thinks he is), one T. Blair is pontificating on the possible U.K. exit from the EU following a referendum, saying that if the U.K. exits the EU this will trigger a demand for a second Scottish Independence referendum leading to a break up of the Union as the majority of the Scots want to stay in the EU.
Now as this man is one of the most astute politicians that the U.K. has produced in the last few decades do you think we should heed his warnings as after all he was in charge of Middle East policy for the UN and he got that spot on did he not???

Know this may sound a bit cynical Being based on ,A short-term,acquaintanship ,of a five days. Leg . of a World - -Cruise. Originating at So'ton. : Auckland to ,{extra day aboard ,Sydney.
:The Table I was allocated, included three Scots. As the little voyage progressed though. Found they were hell -bent, in favour of Independence ,Taking ,place on their return.There were other like-minded Friends ,of theirs ,aboard also.
I had the same feeling , Of despair . A "Here we go Again!"Deja vu! As When visiting my
old Messroom on the Himalaya, ,in Port Melb .And hearing, one of the newer,Q M.'s . ex C.P.O R.N. Vehemently supporting Britain's proposed entry ,to the E.U .Common Market .
This is where my Cynicism ,comes in. As to their 'Passionate Motive" Considering they appeared to be,All hard -headed business Folk.
Were they concerned of the .Future of Scotland ,as a whole. ? Or to the the production of All the new, Material , that would be required I.e Flags, Name Plates, etc, etc, . By Throwing out the Old, and B RinginG in ! the New.
What happened to that well known fact? " United We Stand !, Divided We Fall."

Re: EU commission and Greece
Is it the Scottish people who want to stay in or just the polis with the snout in the rough?

Hi Jim.
If I recall correctly wasn't it the Finish Prime minister who called on all of Europe to take these immigrants in? He even said that he would open the door to his own house for some to stay.
