    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Just checked. You haven't posted the June figures. Mar-May have been released on 12 July according to what I just read. The next official release is in August. I am busy now but you can check/ google my facts again to be sure I haven't misread.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I don't know, but I read somewhere that Germany was in talks with the UK on this subject ( pre Brexit) to change the ruling. Germany has the same problem as it pays nearly 200€ a month for the first child. That's a lot of money be Rumänien standards- especially if you have several kids living in...

    Well I saw otherwise- can't check now, but the figures I saw a couple of days ago were the forecast figures and not yet confirmed. I'll look again when I have time..but I know it was reported as going up...

    I couldn't claim it in England when my daughter was there at school because she is registered in Germany ( going to school for a year didn't change her residency) and I pay tax in Germany. I couldn't claim in the UK as a German taxpayer. You can only claim in one country. There was no point...

    its our own fault

    Tbf. That cuts both ways. Tony Mowbray had us at the top of the table ... then we collapsed. SISU had bad luck there. Robins had us going and that went wrong. Both Robins and Mowbray could have worked. People on here were happy with Venus' replacement... said that he was the right man for our...

    its our own fault

    "For once"..... that was the point. And I said it was only "a tin pot trophy". But nevertheless 43000 turned which proved there is potential and may be something to show a potential investor in the hope of getting someone to make an offer.

    Jobless just risen in June and predicted to rise in July. Albeit by a small percentage....for now. Trend expected to continue as inflation cuts in...

    I thought that child allowance is a sort of tax credit and is paid in the country where you are paying tax, not where your children are living. No doubt there is abuse, or more like people using the system legally, but not in the spirit of the law. That would be where there is a difference in...

    No doubt. And we will miss some trade and our financial services which were our strength and a good earner.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Pre 1993 there were long queues at the borders and loads of paperwork ( I was talking about goods and services...not people ). That tended to slow down trade and was costly for all parties. The customs union has made trade a lot easier and trade has therefore grown enormously. The EU has...

    The difference being that I quoted statistics to back my point up. Actually I am not in the pub that often as I have another business, and I tend to keep off religion and politics when there is alcohol about....;-) My staff do. the service in the pub....they are younger and better looking than...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Our parliament ratified the treaties. We have a parliamentary democracy. Our parliament passes all laws and they evolve constantly. According to your argument we never voted on any of our laws because a referendum wasn't held on each law. We now have more trade with Europe and more people in...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Who ratified the treaties you refer to? Our elected representatives. We gave them the right to do that. That is our parliamentary system. So, in effect we did indirectly vote for the treaties...as with all other legislation ever passed in our democratic system. If you remember Healey coming...

    But leave did have some positivity. The assumption, based on how things were passed across, from some leavers was that when our politicians have the control, everything will be better. We will make deals with the whole wide world and we will sail into the sunset whilst the EU collapses behind...

    its our own fault

    Why not? For once SISU brought us success- yes I know tin pot trophy and all that. But, if ever there was a reason to show support for City, then that was it. SISU have mismanaged the Club, but 43000 fans proved that there was a point to Coventry City and should any mug think about buying us -...

    The EU will have to either have an army or very close military cooperation. It is rich area with trade interests all over the world. It is not going to replace other armies in the near future, but no doubt it will do in some future scenario. If it does it will have to agreed upon- as the Euro...

    Yes, to remind him. Real wages have contracted because of inflation, and unemployment is forecast to have risen in June and the trend is expected to continue.
