UNITED KINGDOM EXIT Yes/No FROM THE European Union (Page 5) gronchbove: Do you see any similiarities in the Harkonnens and British Empire? Sting, I can't remember the other brother and then the Baron Harkonnnen. They wanted to steal oil (spice) from the desert. ghostgeek: All I can remember of it is some big sand worm doing its thing. As for the British Empire, it was a little before my time. gronchbove: Let me ask the UK folks: You can travel freely anywhere in the EU without a visa, right? Geoff: Yes - for clarity A citizen of the UK has all the rights and privileges of any EU citizen; free movement (although as the UK is not part of Schengen we technically need a passport, but not a visa) and the freedom to live and work anywhere in the EU. gronchbove: OK, thanks. The difference and the reason why the UK is only partially a member of the EU is because you still have your own currency and laws. Technically, you UK folks don't need to listen to Belgium for setting your laws, right? gronchbove: Let me ask this question too: "If you could oblige me." I read many Greeks want to leave for Germany. Why can't 100% of the Greeks leave that nation and travel to Germany for jobs? gronchbove: Ghost, I don't understand. I read that the other nations were "closing their borders to the Greeks." Greek Reporter said: "Three Million Greeks Want To Leave" So why don't they? gronchbove: Personally, I think that while the law says they CAN leave, the nations are preventing them from leaving. gronchbove: The government could take their passports away. That would be one way to establish the Danglo prison: "Hotel European Union:" "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!" lol ghostgeek: If the Greeks want to go to Germany, they can. They're in the Schengen area. "Migrant crisis: EU reassures Greece over Schengen zone" [ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35587748 ] gronchbove: Can you explain what the "Schengen zone is" Geoff referred to it also. "Geoff: Yes - for clarity A citizen of the UK has all the rights and privileges of any EU citizen; free movement (although as the UK is not part of Schengen we technically need a passport, but not a visa) and the freedom to live and work anywhere in the EU." dave3974: yes in theory all of Greece could move to the uk and claim welfare---can you see why sane brits want out gronchbove: Yes, Dave3974. Because the Greeks will. I read that when Moldava joined, like 33% of the population moved into the EU. I support the UK leaving the EU. | Politics Chat Room 27 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
