What are the goals of the EU and what are the five main ways the EU hopes to accomplish these goals?
EU is a comlete union in itself. The union’s aims are about all economical and political subjects that are related to whole Europe(as social, as economical, as climatical, envorimental,etc). EU’s this goals can reorganise firstly Europe countries and then may be all over the world. But the main problem is comprehending the unions philosophy and become adaptating to decisions. World needs democratic federations or unions to guarrantie its countiuousness. EU can be used to arranged: 1. Trading for equalty, 2. Oil distrubution (esp. For envorimental problems), 3. Health of population, 4. Peace, 5. Every kind of education and traning people systematically for all problems of the world
Lost my job at Honda due to 1,400 redundancies?
I've been working at Honda for 5 year at the south marston plant in Swindon, Wiltshire for 5 years. Due to not enough sales of cars in europe they had to make redundancies, unfortunately I lost my job and can't get back to work. I'm not on benefits living of savings and inheritance money. I send hundreds of application, cv's and letters to one job but apply to at least 3 jobs a day, I even drive around local shops handing in cv's, but can't find work. I've got an amazing girlfriend who is very supporting and still live with my parents. I'm worried I'm going to live with my parents all my life and not get back to work. Please Help!?
Why am I afraid of losing myself?
All fear is fear of the unknown. So a fear of losing yourself suggests you don’t really know much about who you are as an authentic, unique individual.What makes you tick? Why do you think, feel and act the way you do?The antidote is to “Know Thyself.” That requires a meditation and mindfulness practice. Here’s a big clue — you are not what you think of yourself, but what you care about and why you care.# # #
Slavery is back in another form. What do you think?
The modern slave trade looks like this, when you find a job in the UK from out side the EU, you need a sponsor to say they need you. Once you are in possession of the sponsorship letter from your employer, your freedom has gone. Your entire career is in the hands of your employer. Even when you find that you are not being treated well, you dare not complain as you might receive a P45. Under this condition, all you hear is you have to do this, you must do that. Working conditions gets worse every day and you can't complain, but if you were a British, you can resign and look for work elsewhere. If a migrant from outside the EU resigns, the home office is informedand you are sent a letter by next day delivery to leave the country because you do not have a job. Even when you still have a visa stamped on your passport or a valid id card, all these become invalid and you just have to leave. When one gets a job some where that she thinks she can use to climb up her career ladder, the host employer gives a bad reference, even though you have naver received a verbal or written warning. Worse of all, before you become a permanent resident, your employer must accept that you are needed for you to get one. This is just another way of seizing people's freedom and subdueing them to cruel working conditions. Physically, you are not hur like it was in those days, but mentally, your life is destroyed. You can't think positively. At first, you were eligible to apply for a PLR 5yrs after working with a work visa and you were also free to resign and go to work else where if you felt things were not moving they way you thought. The idea of a sponsor is like selling a slave to me. Slaves where brought from Africa and sold just in like manner and were oblige to do what they were told else they get killed. They were not paid, that is the only difference. Now you are paid, and can complain, but the fear is that, you might get a sack and get reported to the home office. The punishment you get is repatration to hard life and possibly death from cruel regimes, hence one just have to hide her tail like a dog and sit quiet. People may have their opinions about this, you may agree or you may not. Let me know what you think
Is the growing nationalism and racism in Europe a cause of worry?
I would be wary of lumping nationalism and racism in the same category.Just as it’s proper not to associate Islam with terrorism.Generalizations from the actions/ideas of the few aren’t fair to the many.“What can we do to prevent this”.Well, quite frankly: convince immigrants (not refugees fleeing war torn areas, but ‘economic migrants’ - of which is the majority in Europe) to stop raping women, abusing welfare systems, and robbing people.That’d be a start.Nationalism is a reaction to Globalism. The EU wants Europe to commit cultural suicide by losing their heritage and local identity. They’re promoting guilt, shame and weakness for European countries, and Patriotism is a counter-response to this globalist agenda. Sweden is a prime example of what a lack of nationalistic policy/ideas does to a country. They banned Swedish flags and the national anthem from public schools in their own country.“Should Muslims and people of other ethnicity worry?”Worry about what? That Europeans will take to the streets and commit genocide on everyone different from them? No, no matter how hard anyone wants to believe it, that’s simply inane drivel. It’s just as crazy as right-wingers saying Clinton was possessed by Satan or leftists saying Trump wants to take away women’s right to vote. It’s beyond absurd and has zero basis in reality.This is nothing but fear-mongering, the same as what the media did to Trump. They say “should American Muslims be afraid?” - “Should Latinos be afraid for their safety?” Again, afraid of what? The only people who should be afraid are radical terrorists, not a law-abiding citizen who happens to be Muslim.
Why is it perceived that only old people voted for Brexit?
Because it is generally speaking true. Unfortunately, a lot of people are bringing up personal experiences instead of scientific data. 75% of young people voted remain, while the older you got, the more likely you were to vote to leave. Yeah, it may sound generalized, but the facts are the facts. Generally speaking, young Brits want nothing to do with BrExit & know that it’s total bollocks. Young people take advantage of the benefits E.U membership provides them & are not motivated by extreme nationalism or foreigners coming into their precious white, Christian island. Meanwhile, to quote John Gordon, “With age often comes rigidity, an inability to learn new things - and nostalgia.”. The people who are fighting against the second referendum are motivated by two things:1.) That they are terrified of losing because they never thought that they were going to win in the first place. This is especially in the wake of the cluster-fuck of negotiations with the E.U & negative consequences for the U.K. Many businesses have already left to continental Europe & that many of the people who voted to leave are old & some have died off already.2.) Cognitive dissonance & hypocrisy surrounding them accusing the Remain side of wanting a second referendum because they lost, while the BrExit camp when Nigel Farage conceded on referendum night that he had lost before the results came in that he wanted a second referendum & to keep fighting. Hell, Putin saying that he wanted the British people to respect the vote & continue BrExit is interesting as I doubt he’d be saying that or even be commenting on it if the British public had voted to remain.
Why do people hate Margaret Thatcher?
"Margaret Thatcher, milk snatcher" just happens to be memorable. The government at the time was trying to make spending cuts and free school milk for 7-11s was one of the casualties. Thatcher herself didn't want to do it but had to go along with it as it was government policy and Ministers do not criticise their own government in public. (I was never very keen on my free third of a pint on hot days, as the milk would be sitting in its crate outside the classroom for half the morning and by the time we got it at morning break, it was lukewarm!) What people most hate her for is rising unemployment in her early years in office and her destruction of the trade unions. Whole towns in the north of England were devastated by coal mine closures, though the fact of the matter is that mines had become uneconomic to run and she was not going to pour money into them just to keep miners employed. Sooner or later they would have had to close. People will remember the miners' strike of 1984/85, when the irresistible force met the immovable object in the shape of Arthur Scargill, the Communist leader of the National Union of Mineworkers. Scargill managed to single-handedly destroy his own union by keeping the strike going to the bitter end. I have an uncle who was a Nottinghamshire miner - seeing where it would end, they broke away and formed a union of their own. Labour had also left a legacy of high inflation, and her attempts to get it down caused unemployment. As every economics student knows, there is a link between inflation and unemployment - as one goes up, the other comes down, for some reason, at least in the early stages of the policy. It DID all come right in the end but people more easily remember the pain during the years that Thatcherite economics appeared not to be working. She did indeed get the national debt down but remember a lot of that was from proceeds of privatisation. It wasn't her main stated reason for the policy but it raised a lot of money which of course went to reduce the debt. Edit - as I write this, I have 2 thumbs up and 2 thumbs down for this answer. That tells you something - different people have different experiences of what her policies did to them.
Is the real reason brexit is being pursued by so many rich and powerful people that they are terrified that the EU is becoming serious about tax evasion and they are terrified of losing out? The UK government is corrupt enough to turn a blind eye.
Nah, tax evasion happens anyways. Yes the rich have backed it but that’s because of loss of UK control of the UK. I’m pretty liberal, the EU has gone way way too far on it’s agenda and is exerting way too much power across the board. Immigration quotas, social program funding quotas it’s crazy. I’m for granting amnesty to Mexicans in America, but the EU’s immigration policy is absolutely insane. For f*cks sake look at Sweden which is the rape capital of the world. Not all religions are equally peaceful and not all immigrants are equally able to adapt to a new culture.I don’t know what they are thinking, why would you think a atheistic based socialism culture would be compatible with an Islamic based Tyrannical culture where women are basically cattle and don’t some basic human rights such as showing their faces in public without wearing a ski mask?
