Ooops: Britain opens its doors to 3.5 million visitors from eastern Europe

[sasguru]

what makes me laugh you bunch of numb skulls is that when it comes to interest rates you want Britain to choose its own and NOT join the Euro zone as the other Euro countries and what they do,

but when it comes to jobs, you want Britain to do what the other Euro countries have done

make yer minds up folks

two points:

It is far better for someone to shelf stack at Tesco than to pay them not to work. It is also better that they work in the private sector rather than make up numbers in the public sector.

secondly the Euro. Milan one of the reasons why I was against the Euro is that for a single currency to work efficiently to the benefit of all "states" is that it needs a fully flexible labour market to allow for discrepencies between member states. So for example the Irish economy is flourishing but it has inflation so the cost of housing and labour has risen dramatically. Ireland (did until it had access to cheap labour) needed higher intereste rates wheeras Germany needed lower rates to kick start its consmer markets - too many people are saving their money in Germany rather than spending it.

In order to keep the interest rate at the same level to benefit EVERY EU economy Ireland would either receive an input of low cost German labour and/or capital would instead flow to Germany where there is an available workforce and low property prices thus creating more jobs and boosting Germany's economy, whilst ireland cooled off. This is what happens in the USA.

However because the member states wish to "protect" (in other words destroy) jobs and because of language barriers there exists a very inflexible labour market. Combine this with the Nation states protectionism and the Euro does not help any economy at all. It is somewhat ironic that the UK with its "non little Englander" spirit was technically the most suited country of the EU to adopt the Euro. However the UK understood that the French and germans had no interest in surrendering to market driven capitalism and realised that they would be better off controlling its own economy.

The UK should in fact now adopt a single currency with the EU accession states, Ireland and Sweden or any other country that is prepared to free up its labour markets.

Milan, those other Euro countries were moving AGAINST European integration, in the same way as those against the Euro. It is entirely consistent to support that action.

Did you not understand that?

+ Combined with a flat rate of tax of 24%

Let's create a 2 speed Europe and a few years later have the French and Germans beg us to let them in
Then finally Poland can have it's revenge for 1939.

[milanbenes]

if there is a two speed Europe Britain is already in the basket with Germany and France.

Dipstick.

Stick to your Plan B. If it's a simple idea you may succeed.
And don't bother your brain cell with Economics.

[milanbenes]

you think the British economy is growing at the rate of the likes of CZ, SK, HU, PL, EST, LT, LV etc ?

Oh Dear - this may explain why you had to retire into a permy job.

[milanbenes]

furthermore, you are indeed correct, the Benes Plan B is very simple.

Which is nice.

No I don't. Like I said, you're a bit simple.
And why is moving into a strategic role, rather than being a code monkey, a "retirement"?
