If they are EU migrants, I bet they are only paying minimum wage for the Whipping as well, cheapskates!

Re: Brexit
Whether we leave without a deal, or Mays agreement is accepted, i'm immensely pleased that freedom of movement will cease and that the likes of these will no longer have the right to come here:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/770603...effield-shock/
If we end up staying as we are and freedom of movement continues, I can see serious trouble ahead; this area of Sheffield is already at boiling point. One local woman said earlier this evening that she wants to leave the area, but these people have made her house reduce in value by £30,000, so she doesn't know when she'll be able to afford to.

I agree. I always liked the Telegraph as it used to be fair in its reporting. You may not have liked its political stance but the journalism was, most of the time, honest.
I rang them up earlier today to cancel my subscription and they offered my a half price deal to stay (which I politely declined) so maybe their membership numbers are being hit?

Oh dear...The deal won't succeed, Spanish PM plans to veto Brexit, but I am sure he meant to say the deal... he has tweeted in last half hour....

Re: Brexit
We'll see. They might add something of little consequence to buy him off and give him a small domestic victory, alternatively the other EU states will apply pressure or indeed he might veto the whole thing.

Why can't some unelected EU bureaucrat overrule him? That's how I've been told it works.

Nah, he knows he won't get that. He probably does want to keep Gibraltar from being part of the UK trade 'area' for practical reasons with travel/trade and domestic reasons.
That said I don't think it's a big concession. I believe Gibraltar is already treated differently from the UK, as are the crown dependences, and the omission of this was probably because no one really thought to add it.

Simples...

But with legal agreements any potential costs are set out in advance.
The money is not fees or charges, but is tax-like in nature. It is connected to GDP and other variable measures. The final figure paid in any year changes as economic figures for that year are updated. If you move to another country, you are no longer liable for tax in the country you have left. If there is some sort of tax liability remaining, you usually keep voting rights in that country.
Part of the basis for the figure arrived at, was the setting of a 5 year budget plan. Just as well the budget plans are every 5 years and not 10 or more, or we would have have to be paying even greater sums. There is no varying agreed amount that countries pay in. So when a budget is set there is NO actual agreement by any country to pay anything in.
Quote:
The EU budget is funded from three main sources: - Member State contributions, based on a percentage of their Gross National Income
- Import duties on goods entering from outside the EU
- A percentage of each Member State’s national VAT rate

Those are taxes.

The only decent read now sometimes is the Times which tends not to be overtly political.
