Same as he was too busy to attend a meeting about his driving.

The sheer number of working hours as a driver. I thought as a rule you can only drive up to 9 hours a day in the EU. Exceptions are allowed for the occasional longer day. There has to be a break between days of 11 hours to sleep and recover. How did he do it? Or is it different for bus drivers...

Greece should never have been allowed in.

Leaving the EU will shrink the economy at least short term. The EU migrants are returning home, so theoretically the pressure is being reduced.

You still have to register as an asylum seeker and be assessed. Admittedly there were so many that the system broke down. It is still not completely fixed. I don’t get why they can’t get the multiple identity chancers. They have a little machine for finger printing which gives a digital copy of...

Yes, they fiddled the figures to get Greece in. Blame Theo Waigel for that. That was political over enthusiasm. But Greece did very well financially at the beginning, or at least it seemed to. It was only exposed because of the crash and then everyone realised it was living on credit.

Most eurozone countries benefit from the Euro. Some more than others, but there is no rush to leave and others are waiting to join. Germany did well before the Euro.

They have a right to apply for asylum. If they haven’t already made an application at the point of arrival. Lots came through Germany on the way to Sweden. They claimed to have relatives already in Sweden and were allowed through.

You do have to show your passport to enter the Schengen area. The borders are not open. If you are a refugee you have to register and apply for asylum.

Truth? Bullshit. There were no open borders to the EU. The sheer mass of people took the existing borders by surprise and the lack of a sensible refugee problem meant that countries let them through, although they were supposed to register for asylum in the country of arrival . As they were in...

We ( EU including UK ) don’t have open borders. Germany and Sweden had humanitarian refugee policies in line with the Geneva convention. Merkel and Sweden made their own decisions and refugee policy as there wasn’t an EU policy. Which is the actual problem. Germany and Sweden were the top...

Have we left? Missed that.

As far as I know. As I say, I haven’t heard their opinion on that. Actually, when I was in Leipzig 2016, the taxi driver and one of my staff invited me to the Legida ( a branch of Pegida, Thürgida who AfD are now marching with ). They wanted me there. I presume it wasn’t to chase me through the...

AfD is against non EU migrants. I have not heard them saying anything against internal free movement as defined by the EU.

Yes. With good reason. Nazis are calling for National Socialism now and a poster agreed that that is good if it brings the EU down. Never dreamed I would be in this sort of debate.

No it doesn’t. The right wing in the UK claims that it is about EU internal borders and Currency. It isn’t in Germany. It is about refugees and a perceived lack of security. The EU is hardly mentioned by the Nazis, apart from strengthening the external border. They want to beat up refugees and...

Yes. For years no one really bothered with the EU. Nazis always existed. Sometimes their support grew e.g. 70‘s National Front because of the Ugandan Asians, then when Thatcher tightened colonial immigration, it faded again. In Germany we had 80s Republikaner and DVU, but they faded away. NPD...

The EU is the most successful international collaboration yet. Putting up borders, using their own currencies, not allowing free movement of goods, people or capital is not collaborating. That is what the right wingers propose. The Nazis in Chemnitz have made it quite clear what their...
