retep Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Which says nothing about the money they already have,just the money they won't get from the UK. And the money they won't get from the countries that can't afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 From the article, "Damian Wawrzyniak is as well placed as anyone to judge the work ethics of British and Polish workers. “I can’t say that there is a difference between the Polish and British. It doesn’t matter what nationality you are. If someone does not want to work then they won’t work,” he said." Well if pay was better perhaps they would. I had related to me from a business associate that the Romanians he employed on the National Living Wage, £7.50 per hour, claimed to be able to purchase a new car in their homeland after working full time for just six weeks. How many of our minimum wage workers can afford to buy a brand new car in the UK after six weeks of work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalga Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) is basically a reformist, pro-EU organisation - which receives the majority of its funding from the EU. Of course the ETUC doesn't want to 'smash the EU' - I have never stated that it did. But even this pro-EU organisation recognises that the EU is inherently undemocratic, attacks public services and weakens the protection of workers. This is being done in contravention of its own treaties in a typically devious and administratively complex way, in order to fool the gullible. Then what's stopping it from not recieving its funding from the EU and actively being pro Brexit,plus actively encouraging 'the dominoes to fall' in the rest of Europe,like the Right Wing politicians and media promised would happen?,all in the name of workers and unions all over Europe and the better lives that they will have as a result. ---------- Post added 12-11-2017 at 09:12 ---------- I had related to me from a business associate that the Romanians he employed on the National Living Wage, £7.50 per hour, claimed to be able to purchase a new car in their homeland after working full time for just six weeks.

They probably could buy a Dacia if they wanted. ---------- Post added 12-11-2017 at 09:14 ---------- And the money they won't get from the countries that can't afford it. How many more times,they restructure the budget,there's plenty of slack to cut,such as funding for ETUC.

In which case why are they begging for £60 billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalga Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 In which case why are they begging for £60 billion. Sounds to me like they don't want a country walking away from commitments it made years ago and now wants out of.If I agreed a bank loan or a mortgage and after a few years decided they weren't such a good idea,what do you think the banks would do if I tore the paperwork up in front of them?

You equate the UK's membership of an economic and political union with borrowing money from a bank? Or purchasing a property? What planet are these remainers living on? It's certainly not this one!

The Brexit envisioned by Fox and friends is a precursor to reducing employment rights and wage controls. You don’t understand that they don’t want the same change you want. You’ll only understand it when it’s too late and we’re screwed. ---------- Post added 12-11-2017 at 10:37 ---------- I had related to me from a business associate that the Romanians he employed on the National Living Wage, £7.50 per hour, claimed to be able to purchase a new car in their homeland after working full time for just six weeks.

And have you got a photo or a video of it. I won’t believe it until I see a photo or video of it Edit: quick bit of google research.
