UK Bleeding Money

[nottyboi]

Odd how the US does not explicitly dictate Canada's immigration policy, we have Gerald to take care of that
The govt of Canada does also not send billions of pounds to the US for the privilege of being in a trade deal

What was supposed be a trade union with the EU morphed into a political union with the decisions made by unelected bruecrates in Brussels

The British people should be far more worried about BoJos energy policies than Brexit
His green energy policies are the real disaster.

EU is a lot more then a trade deal. Its a COMMON MARKET with FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT. Why can you not understand these massive differences. Are you really that thick?

 

[nottyboi]

Actually Yes. free mobility means no control, which resulted in a flood of "economic refugees


by you
your perception is clouded by your ideology


Polish Plumbers are not considered menial and manual labor
The real problem is now the UK is shut of of the energy deals and have to buy in the open market and are getting screwed
This would not have been a problem had Britain not made such a big and foolish bet on unreliable wind energy




Or pay a lot less and have the decisions made by British elected officials instead of unelected bruecrates in Brussels

There is no way in hell Canadians would permit key decisions to be made by a group of paper shufflers in Albany New York



What part of decisions made by bruecrates in Brussels did you not understand?

And do us all a big favor: lose the baboon picture and use black font
It is a pain in the ass quoting you

So many UK industries collapsing because all those "foreigners" are no longer coming. As for unelected that is BULLSHIT: "Since 1979, however, MEPs have been elected by direct universal suffrage. "

Nope , collapsing because of green energy policies

watch the insults if you do not want to get run over

You obviously know nothing about the EU.

Have you heard about the European Parliament and the European Council?

You may as well say that all decisions in Canada is made by unelected "bruecrates" in Ottawa.

Sure the brits voting to leave was just all a big mis-understanding

Bruecrates, didn't he write Gargantua and Pantagruel?

This coming from the guy who was going on for years in the sports section about how Brexit would lead to the collapse of the premier league as major power, and how all the top players would flood into Europe and serie a due to lack of competitiveness or whatever bs you were making up. Seems just the opposite has happened since Brexit. Serie A is worse than ever, La Liga is worse than ever with massive debts, and the premier league is still getting stronger. Maybe Newcastle will buy up the rest of the decent Serie A players and even less people will watch it (if that’s even possible) Then you can moan about it some more.

IIRC, the referendum was a shock 51% to 49% "Yes" vote and some of the "Pro Leave" advertising was misleading and sketchy - i.e. the hordes of Islamic immigrants on the side of the bus. There was also a huge pile of crap about "non elected European elites running your lives" and "the sunlit uplands where we could cut our own advantageous trade deals with the rest of the world".

Of course, the only trade deals Britain actually cut was with the Faroe Islands, IIRC. Everyone else just laughed at them because they had no trading clout without the rest of the EU to back them up.

So it's a sad example of ordinary folks being lied to and promised shit that will never, ever come true for them.

People dreaming about the Glory that Great Britain had 100 years ago, when the Sun never set on the British Empire.

Crispy Crunch, Brexit allowed me to retire early, why should I complain? If George Soros kept his mouth shut, I'd still be commuting early in the morning. Apparently you never heard of bread and circus which is what the UK economy is turning into. Why would Prince Charles whore out citizenship to Saudi billionaires and quasi jihadists, revenue to the Prince's Trust is falling. The Newcastle deal makes perfect sense to me now.

Gee the one -sided story from a loonie explaining how the majority of the British population got it all wrong due to " misleading and sketchy" advertising
But you buy the misleading and sketchy climate alarmism hook line and sinker and without question ???

Lose the monkey and red font. they are annoying

They did sign a trade deal with Japan for any leftover trade that the EU did not want. They also made great progress on a trade deal with Mongolia.

They had to fill an almost insatiable need for yak meat in Liverpool. It might have led to rioting.

Mongolia has the second largest reserves of Rare Earths after China. Most of China's reserves are located in Manchuria and Inner Mongolia.

The problem with Rare earths is the mining is as toxic as the oil sands.

As opposed to gold / silver mining which uses cyanide to extract the metals from the ore?
same with copper, nickel, cobalt and molybdenum
Do not drink the water in a gold mines tailing pond ..

and rare earth metals also required arsenic or cyanide to recover the metal

The oil sands uses steam or water to extract the bithumen.
Some diluent is added to help the flow of bithumen through the process, but this is recovered at the refinery and recycled

There are oil sand tailing ponds however these tend to have metals that were in the ore to begin with and the tailings are mostly cloudy water (dirt), which they need to keep out of the rivers
Operational water consumption has significantly and continuously declined


So which is more toxic again?
Cyanide / arsenic added or making some water cloudy with dirt


The problem here is the scale of the oil operations covers a large land area and from an Arial view it looks like shit

So some environuts like Gerald Butts see a photo of the operation and declare it needs to be shut down

Insitu oil sands injects the stam into the ground and then pumps the flowing bithumen out of the hole (I think CNQ Canadian Natural Resources now owns these operations)
A very small operational foot print

That however is irrelevant to Gerald . He still wants it stopped. I has the word oil in it.

I doubt China gives a shit about what happens to Mongolia.
