The EU ideal of "no borders" continues to crumble (at last)

[DTCwordfan]

and will continue to crumble until a new "Phoenix" of smaller states and city states arises, a 21st Machivellian political society. This was predicted as long ago as the late 1970s - I attended a political workshop on European Perspectives and Trends that forecast the splintering of Europe to this model driven at the centre by a powerful D/F/Nl and a rogue called the UK who didn't know whether it was coming or going - i.e. on the inner track or out there in boogie land withe second and third division. What they did not forecast was just how far East the EU would extend....

I should hope not. I was an unemployed immigrant once.

[ummmm]

Really jno?

Funny that, I always tend to find myself agreeing with what you say....! :-)

What a fab idea, Take note David Cameron.

[jno]

yes, and I'm now an unemployed immigrant again (though only because I've retired).

Tempted though I was to spend the intervening thirtysomething years on the dole, I didn't...

[ummmm]

Hey....don't let that little fact get in the way!! Working...for that long....you robbed their wages...lol

[jno]

yep, I worked so hard I did three true-born Brits out of a job.

Jno - an immigrant to our shores?

- your posts are always well written (unlike mine)
- they are usually devoid of spelling errors and typos (unlike mine)
- they are alway grammatically correct and clever and witty (unlike mine)
- and concise and to the point (unlike mine).

I've never liked you.

[jno]

well, that's because I didn't have to pass an English-language immigration test. If there had been one, I'd have had to learn poor British diction and spelling.

[ummmm]
