@shavixmir saidWork conditions in the UK have been worsening for a decade irrespective of our EU membership. Thankfully we still have a strong employment law but I feel this will be heavily challenged (in all EU counties btw) in the wake of the economic carnage falling out from Covid. Brexit really is the least of anyone’s potential problems for the next few years.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed lately, but outside the EU is a passport and control driven nightmare with crappy architecture and worse food.
Obviously the EU has its fair share of problems: Poland, Hungary, the English.
But in general we work less hours a week, have longer holidays, have the Alps, the best food, greatest buildings and Incan drive for days upon days through various countries without drawing a passport and collecting corona wherever I wish.
[Edit: have you seen the anti lockdown riots in France and Italy? That’s just the beginning. And where is the EU voice in all this upheaval ? silent as usual. )
Holidays...we will never slip into the appalling US conditions of two weeks a year, ain’t gonna happen no matter how much you hope it will. I would campaign for a minimum of 4 weeks paid for every employee, including contractors with the option to buy or sell up to a further two weeks.
But anyway to the specifics in your post, I like specifics...
This might come as a shock to you but the EU doesn’t own the historical buildings in Europe, the independent nations do. But it is creepily interesting that you imply that they don’t.
The EU is finished in its current format at least. Junker was an utter joke. A sexist, lying unelected (by the populous) gravy train riding autocrat. A pig who gorged himself. The EU is full of these types. I despise its undemocratic bloatedness with an unquenchable loathing and I will piss on its ashes when it finally burns to the ground.
Drive from country to country without getting your passport out...well ring a fuking ding and Coo coo ka choo. I guess we should all just bend over and hand over our sovereignty.
Fuk those passport controls, evil asholes.
