RE: British Politics Thread
Double Whammy Monday lads!

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/03/...fisheries/

Quote:The United Kingdom will agree to follow all European Union rules after Brexit and keep the nation’s borders open for the duration of the transition period to 2022, with further bad news for fisheries and communities in Northern Ireland as a new agreement was reached in Brussels Monday.

The European Union’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier made the announcement in a joint press conference with Britain’s David Davis in Brussels, where the pair presented what was introduced as a “legal text which constitutes a decisive step” towards a final agreement. Revealing the enormous extent to which Theresa May’s government has sold out the Brexit-voting British public, Barnier and Davis spoke on a number of key policy areas including immigration, British control over British laws, and regaining control over British fishing waters.

and this little gem;

Refugees (Family Reunion) (No. 2) Bill 2017-19

Link

It is currently at the comittee stage in the Commons.

Let's face it, Brexit just slows the rot a little unless some big changes happen after 2022.

RE: British Politics Thread
The count Dankula verdict sets an extremely dangerous precedent not only for the UK but all anglo commonwealth countries. I'm not sure what the sentencing was (maybe a few months in jail, tops), but that isn't the point. The point is that for any of us stuck in these progressive soft totalitarian shiteholes like Canada, Scotland, England, is that we could be liable for criminal penalties for wrong think. The negatives aspects are huge. First, where do you think they will send us? In the UK the jails are already filled with muslims. So if your thought crime had anything to do with them, your getting sent to basically a concentration camp, where the locals will single you out for beatings, rape and maybe a final ultimate shivin'. Second, and this is a big one especially for someone like myself that wants to bail Canada when I got enough cash, it gives you a criminal record. You ain't leaving this brave new world very easily with that ball and chain. Never mind the social ostracization and possible joblessness and with it, certain financial ruin.

Its why I barely utilize any social media with my real world name. This authoritarianism is just getting too real and is coming to a local court near you.

I just read the other day about an Ohio firefighter being fired (no pun intended) for re-posting an edgy meme on his social media account. That happened in the US, so we're not even safe here.

Let's be clear that it wasn't muslims putting this guy behind bars for insulting jews.

Which is why "islam sucks" movements are fundamentally just not going to get it done.

Telford, Nazi-pug-gate.

I am disgusted by my country.

I look at the people I grew up with and the majority are now craven cowards and smug to boot. Any talk like this in their presence is tantamount to social suicide, the effects of which are not to be taken lightly.

Our politicians and leaders are effectively our enemies.

"islam sucks" isn't going to cut it. Too true. I'm not sure the fires will start burning until I am in my later years.

Well now that he's known as a super Jew hating Nazi i'm sure he'll be loved by both the NeoNazis in Jail and the muslims in jail. Count Dankula will be bringing two groups of people together.

This country has been moving further and further left for over 100 years.

[Image: DY4k2FqW4AEpGSQ?format=jpg]

Labour have set up the most unsustainable social programs in Europe and The Conservative government can do nothing but manage the decline. As outlined previously, the state pension scheme in the UK is unfunded and paid out of current taxation with no investment, bar about £350 bil that is put aside only for public sector employees. This is why the British pension scheme is often dubbed the worst in the developed world. The writing is on the wall with it. The OECD are already promoting the UK not paying state pensions to higher earners. If the state pension was privately run the left would be screaming ponzi scheme; but because it's private they instead muster, "Don't worry about it! We're dealing with chronic poverty! The Torries! The cuts! For the many!"

A calculation:

A person on minimum wage earns about £15,000 per year. If they work from 18 to 75 at minimum wage (not considering inflation) they could be required by the government to put aside:

£1,000 / year for a pension - with standard compound interest you would be looking at £700,000 to retire on at 75. That could give you a yearly dividend of £17,500 year while you hold your appreciating portfolio.

£1,000 / year for unemployment insurance - with standard compound interest given that most people will remain employed all their life that could be close to another £700,000.

£1,000 / year for medical insurance - this is to pay for Bupa medical insurance. By the time you're 50 that £1,000 is going to be paid outright for health insurance. But by that point the other part of your annual medical insurance provision that was invested is now worth £60,000, which gives you almost £2,000 per year to contribute to medical insurance over your life. But even if you take out £1,000 per year from that £60K, you'll still be left with about £100,000 at 60 due to compound interest. Taking out £2,000 up to 70 will leave you with £175,000 and £4,000 up to 80 will leave you with £285,000.

So by the time you're 80, a cleaner could be on £32,500 / year on dividend cream with over £1.5 million in combined investments. Instead (according to the ONS) we have a £5 trillion black hole over 30 years in unfunded state pensions that are coming out of your pocket. Labour have left us with the biggest ponzi scheme of all time.

It's a sad thing when you pray for the financial collapse of an increasingly hostile and totalitarian regime which ridiculously constitutes the representation you get for your taxation. I wonder if this is how the Soviet Russians felt.

The American colonists thought taxation without representation was bad, but honestly I'd take it over what the West is currently suffering under.

Theres no collapse unless you're thinking dominos. The infographic above ^ has a date of 1988/99 as a cut of date for comparison so lets see what it is in todays world.

I'm beyond the point of being upset by whats going on because I am powerless to stop it but I am not powerless when it comes to my own person and as far as I can control it, my destiny. Your place of living, who your friends are and your financial circumstances are all things you can steer towards a better situation.

Yes but by the time you’re 80, 32k a year isn’t worth 32k in real terms. 32k when I’m 80 I expect will just be small change. Unless you are claiming that you’ll be due 32k equivalent in whatever 2085 money is worth.

Pensions are a massive con.

I often wonder if the current Russians were to roll over Europe, would people in many nations throw flowers and weep openly tears of joy in the streets at the sight of Russians stringing up our leaders?

Much like Hitler was greeted when he annexed Austria.

No ^. Russia can fuck off and so can their gangster government.

Being macho and corrupt to further your vision is no different than pressing those beneath you with laws for thee, none for me. They do that as well but Russians have had communism so its ingrained into their psyche but we have yet to have that mentality develop.

I really wish we had some thread on here made by some members who know resources to collate the historical acts following times of political turmoil and financial strain. Financial problems >> political turmoil >> society turmoil >>?
