Or blame the EU for maddy disappearing or for the weather

Yes of course it means Brits abroad should learn the language of a country they plan to live in I don't understand why people want to move to Spain and not learn the language half the fun of new places is interacting with the locals bit stupid not to be able to speak their language.

My on-call is paid in US Dollars, so excellent.

I can't say I'm excited by wheeling out Gordon Brown. This seems to open up a massive attack vector on Leave's primary angle of immigration. Gillian Duffy anyone?

I guess Brown felt that someone from Labour had to try and do something? Corbyn is now an official joke (if he wasn't before) as the Labour Leader. If you are a Leader then Lead or give the job to someone to have a go ..

~I~f we leave the EU should all those people be made to come back to the UK if they can't?

That's up to the countries where they are. But if they can't speak the language of that country, how can they ever integrate?

When British ex pats in Spain fall ill, as they do as many of them are retired, they expect Spanish doctors and nurses and hospital receptionists and pharmacists and etc etc to speak English.... (I've seen this first hand) If I were Spanish I would tell the lot of them to sod off.

The scale of the numbers and the pressure that puts on society is what's creating the issue, making the influx so much more noticeable and making it easier for migrants not to integrate. The EU is only part of that issue however.

Well I was making a general point about culture. Horizon's comments extend beyond the EU issue.

The last thing Leave need is Gordon Brown getting involved. Didn't he influence the Scottish referendum with his promises? Wasn't he and Blair who messed up the country?

I think one of the EU hierarchy's unstated aims of free movement of labour across the EU, is harmonisation of cultures; i.e. watering down of the individual Nation state's culture.

Cultural harmonisation makes political harmonisation easier.

The pound has just spiked!



Good news for Remain about to hit?

Hmm so much for their doom and gloom stories.
