Can you summarise, so I don't need to click a link towards a radio show presented by a far-right despot? Cheers.
:rotfl:
I do note that again you did not answer; it seems to be a habit of yours.
Or is it that you simply cannot?let's hear the disagreement for the facts contained.0 -

You clearly think a million every 3 years is acceptable. 2 million every 3 years? 3 million every three years?
You don't actually care about British people being homeless? They should move to another country? Poland maybe? Lithuania?
I wager I will never get an answer either.
I guess Hamish makes money out of a shortage of houses? I think I read that somewhere - so why should he care?0 -
An example of how far behind the curve the EU are compared to the UK, with this from today:Build batteries or lose jobs, auto bosses tell Europe
And from the UK in June:UK to become world leader in battery technology for electric vehicles0 -
Ireland - and today evidence for further concerns regarding Brexit:Eleven of the 15 European Union goods most exposed to Britain are Irish exports, an analysis by the country’s finance ministry showed on Wednesday, highlighting the extreme vulnerability to Brexit of some Irish firms.
Something has to give; will the EU really sell Ireland down the river and very possibly by so doing push Ireland into leaving the EU too?0 -
All is not a bed of roses in mainland Europe either;French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has shrugged off nationwide protests against planned reforms to France’s strict labour regulations, saying on Wednesday he was “listening” but would nonetheless press ahead with the bill. About 220,000 people on Tuesday joined the first mass protest
See that?
220,0000!
On the first mass protest!
Compare that to the "hundreds" in the weekend's "People's March For Europe in London. Even the pro-EU Independent stated only between 15,000 & 20,000 attended.

Trouble seems to be brewing in Hungary too:Hungary will not relinquish any of its national sovereignty to the European Union and will keep fighting against the EU’s quota system for taking in asylum-seekers, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told Reuters.
Will the other Visegrad nations make similar remarks? After all, migrants are not wanted there and the migrants don't want to be there either.0 -
'Progressives' bemoan imported food on the grounds it creates extra aircraft emissions and makes us ever less food secure.
In the shires where I live plenty of farmland is being turned over to housing and infrastructure.
A further disadvantage is this results in more environmental degradation and congestion, more animal road kill, less space for wildlife and a busier less pleasant environment for Humans.
Building more shiny new homes and schools simply increases the magnetic pull of the UK, so nothing is solved.
You realise it takes something like 3 acres to provide for each citizens total needs right?0 -

But remember what Moby tell us, we're the embarrassing laughing stock nasty country.0 -
Just pondering....
.....can you imagine what would happen if the government built 4 Newcastles every 3 years in Scotland and filled them with immigrants and students?
I guess Hamish would be like this :j because to suggest otherwise would be racist.0 -

Cant wait to see French reaction when it dawns on them Brussels Eurocrats seek to harm their livelihoods by making it harder to sell their goods into Britain.0
