Guy Verhofstadt MEP, addressed both houses of the Irish Parliament (Oireachtas) today (20 September). Verhofstadt told members of parliament that the European Parliament will never allow Ireland to suffer because of the British decision to leave the EU. This, he said, was a firm commitment from the European Parliament, as well as one from the European Union as a whole, writes Catherine Feore.

Heh heh, I almost hate to say "I told you so" but here's the first:

“In substance PM May is bringing no more clarity to London’s positions. I am even more concerned now,” Manfred Weber said on Twitter.

Move up North and price northerners out of a home.

That really is special as a solution to mass migration.

The reason prices are high in London and the south east is because there are more and better paid jobs. If it was easy to find good good well paid jobs in the north plenty of southerners would head north.

...and some people make all sorts of excuses to avoid responsibility for their lives and choose to blame the immigrants, (for setmefrees benefit...this includes people of all races)!

Casting young white people as having all bad and inferior characteristics whilst all immigrants have good superior characteristics is racism.

As I've said before you hate English people.

Point me to the part in my post where I said the young people were white?

Brexit Britain lost further ground to its European rivals today after a “burst of activity” propelled France and Germany’s private companies at their fastest rate for more than six years.
IHS Markit’s latest snapshot of the Continent’s economic fortunes, where a score over 50 signals growth, showed Germany’s manufacturing and services firms picking up the pace in September.
The activity index hit 57.8, the highest since April 2011.


The same benchmark for France registered its best performance since May 2011.
The data come as the pound’s post-Brexit weakness leaves consumers struggling and the economy floundering in the economic slow lane.
