I agree I dislike the little Europeaner whets on this side of the water, the Nationalist’s the other side of la Manche are far more rabid but at least you know what side they are on…
I’ll add we’re hoping to buy a gaff in the coming years in the east of Majorca, you’ll see me with the lovely Union flag flying proudly and sky dish out there, don’t worry I only do karaoke 4 times a week.
Is already been noted a lot of possible anti EU football fans will be in France on the 23rd June, would he do such a thing, of course, this is European democracy, add the other elections taking place, project fear.
Lets have a transparent, honest debate, what are the little pro Europeaners scared of?
Your Global company would have drawn up a contingency plan a long long time ago.
Aye, including moving EU headquarters to Frankfurt or Paris…
If you’re a Global company you’re paying full UK tax as opposed to being based in Dublin or Geneva? Really? Must be a crazy Global company to have its headquarters here when it could be paying a lower tax elsewhere, do you mean you employ the most people here but have a small “head office” elsewhere?
One thing’s for certain. No matter how long GA has worked for his current employer, no matter how much he knows about the operations of said employer, Barry will know more. He probably has a good friend who works for them or something.
Probably not but a Global company beng based in this Country over other EU Nations allowing lower business tax? What do you think? Somethings amiss or a monetary self serving agenda…
Global head quaters in Raleigh North Carolina, European HQ in Reading…
Barry, you know you are talking shite - Our location strategy is based on a number of factors, customer location, service activity etc… I have no idea about our tax policy, but given we are publically traded on the NYSE, I am sure it in the public domain.
But whatever, this has nothing to do with that anyway - but the simple fact that by being members of the EU it makes it easy for staff to work wherever in the EU with out visas and permits… you say it will be just as easy if we are outside … as easy as when we want to exchange staff to the US?
Wind your fucking neck in. We KNOW where you stand on the EU and i doubt you could be further up the UKIP twats arsehole. I really dont give a toss. I am in favour of the EU and not just for practical business purposes. But because i really dont gve a shit about borders and nationality. Life is too short to worry about such shity labels. Any one who understands evolution knows that worrying about what you call yourself for the 70-90 years you get is seriously misguided… borders, nationalities, race, all bollox.
humuns have been around for about 500k years in current form on a planet that is 4500million years old - do you think our max 2 million years as a spieces means anything ?.. like I said if you are daft enough to worry about such things, good luck to you, but more important things to worry about.
…and If you believe we have democracy here then you are deluded, so why does it matter to you so much that your undemocratic decisions are made in the UK instead of Brussels?
I bet your bollocks to a barndance your co is based in a tax haven but if you want to talk about a utopian ideology without borders lets do it,but lets not include FTSE,NYSE or NASDAQ companies though as again you can bet your bollocks to a barndance they couldn’t give a shite about your beautiful dream,
Ah I don’t believe we have democracy here and have always been a proponent of change in the voting system, if its broken here why would I vote for a broken system in Brussels? Self serving and capitalist.
Crikey, that’s quite some response Barry.
Not bad for 43 pints of strongbow and a flaming lamberdingy.
Top marks for adding those words before the final sentence. Must have been the flaming thingy - Strongbow could never do that. Your font’s gone all blue though - are you trying to tell us something? Best try another edit perhaps.
I’ve saved the bugger from himself (and perhaps the structural integrity of the forum) but it would be unfair if I did not acknowledge that Bazza’s big blue linkathon happened.
I do not know about you, but I was very much left with the impression of a man simply jabbing at a piece of technology.
Sort your Saturday night game out, Bazza; you’re a shambles.
I love me ciders and a good Frenchie Sav, those Europeans can make the booze. Not that they are anything other than lovely people but my inlaws have a vineyard and I get some shit hot booze for Christmas and other occasions, in fact the garage…
Blue, pink or black its your user unfriendly android bollocks, its a plant from Europe, our cousins from across the pond will sort it, Donald DONALD DONALD…
And where did that copy and paste go?
The problem with this debate is the amount of bollocks that is being spouted by both sides.
Migrant camps are not going to spring up all over Kent
Europe will not stop trading with us
millions of jobs will not disappear
we won’t be able (or want to ) stop all immigration
we won’t be able to avoid all Europe regulations
However both sides are going to throw huge amounts of misinformation out there, so everyone is going to have to vote with their gut on this one.
one the up side, this vote will be truly democratic - they who get more than 50% win
Ultimately the only way Europe can work effectively is full Union, politically and fiscally. 27 national interests just don’t work as every decision is flawed due to the huge number of accommodations that have to be met to get it away.
Stop dicking about Barry…‘bollocks to a barndance’ ? WTF? about as much imagination as turd.
‘Utopian ideology’ - please engage at least few neurons before rushing to misinterpret everthing that is said. At no point do i suggest a utopian ideal - at no point do I suggest big companies should be part of it… so I dont get what the fuck you are on about (which to be fair is at least consistent). My point was VERY simple, so simple in fact I thought that even you might actually be able to get it.
I was talking about why I (yes me) has the opinion that I really dont care about borders and nationalities and dont give a flying fuck about 'our nations sovereignty… seriously I dont, because its just a blip in history. Do I think that somehow my opinion should be realised in some utopian ideal? No becasue I am not that naive… jeez. It is is merely a philosophy based on a reality that our time on this earth is meaningless.
However, that does not stop me having an opinion on the practicalities of exit…
Will it make it more difficult to live and work in EU countries? Most likely yes
Will this impact on many businesses? Most likely yes some positive, some negative and opinion will often be driven by which side you are on… depends on who you work for.
Will it stop the screaming hordes of millions immigrants desperate to overwhelm Britain with their skiving work-shy claim-off-the-state-religeous-zealot culture - YEAY a result… (for those paranoid fuckwits who believe the shite spouted by the Mail and UKIP and other sadly ignorant numpties…)
But its OK, because whilst we are desperate as a nation to avoid Brussels telling us what to do, we are more than happy to bend over and take the infested syphilitic puss riddeled cock of Washington… and looking at the the way things are going over there, that is going to be one hell of a ride… Trump will sort us out
