I haven't defended anything, but calling the Prime Minister a liar when she plainly is seems fair to me.
Serious question though, when the vote becomes worthless and the ballot box is closed off what do you think happens?

it's incredibly selfish to vote for something you won't even feel much, if any, effect fromQuote:
Because i'm not selfish and don't think about ME ME ME when I vote.

If you think that's bad you should hear what I have to say about the House of Commons. The PM is getting it lightly.
And if you think things are turning nasty now, just you wait. We haven't even scratched the surface as to what'll happen if the cancel our vote.

There won't be any effects, as proven already from George Osborne's laughable predictions.Quote:

You seem to be remarkably in favour of government intervention for someone who claims to be a free market libertarian
I forgot to finish this point initally so being quick - you basically compared your situation with someone elses when its relatively easy to get a job in a foreign country to teach english because the very nature of language teachers favours native speakers. If you tried teaching another subject in these countries I imagine you wouldn't even be considered until you have significant experienceQuote:

i'm going to start by tackling the actual point that was made - lauras friend wanted to keep the ability for them to have freedom of movement/freedom to work, you claimed it would be easy to still work in europe which is fundmantally not true, regardless if you think it's wrong or right
it's not really unilateral if spanish people can also come here - and why do you assume they want to go there to pour coffee...
coolQuote:

at least people will turn upQuote:

it wasn't semanticsQuote:

semtantics implies that you were actually correct and i was basically just being picky about your wording, but this wasnt the case. you claimed that there was an agreement (there wasn't) that customs would be waived through for I think it was 9 months? which was false - the proposal was to do with where the haulage company was based, allowing them access for 9 months. NOTHING to do with customs checks and NO agreement made
you're literally the person who wants statutory holiday to be removed, the only thing which actually gets secure holiday for low earnersQuote:

In normal circumstances, the employer would be forced by the market to raise the wages - but due to a pool of cheap labour from Eastern Europe, he doesn't have to. It's a betrayal of a general of Britons who have already been betrayed by a poor education system.Quote:

I haven't called myself a free market libertarian for years now. If anything, I am a High Tory.Quote:

Employers 10000% do not ask people where they live or how many people are in the house, that's utter nonsense. People living beyond their means and expecting to be given luxuries for nothing are not beneficial to this super-society you seem to think we have, but I'm thoroughly enjoying your flip to communism
I am talking about supply and demand, as you well know.Quote:
