More than 2,500 former members of the armed forces entered the prison system last year, with experts warning a disproportionate number were being jailed for serious violence and sexual offences. According to the Ministry of Justice, veterans represent between 4% and 5% of the UK prison population, raising concerns about the impact of the Afghanistan and Iraq campaigns on mental health issues in the armed forces. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/mar/18/uk-armed-forces-veterans-prison-population-mental-health-issues

Nick Griffin, the former leader of the British Nationalist Party, has announced that he intends to move to Hungary "within six months". The far-right politician, who was ousted from the BNP in 2014, said he decided to emigrate to the eastern European country because it has a government that "doesn't want to commit national suicide" which he believes to be "very refreshing from someone coming from the west". Griffin also praised Hungary for building a border wall to keep out refugees and for providing state help for large Hungarian families. The move comes as something of a shock given the anti-immigration views formed a major part of Griffin's entire political career. Speaking to Hungarian website 444, Griffin said: "There's already a sort of nationalist emigre community building up here. There's French, there's Italians and Swedes, and Brits as well, so it's only a trickle at present. "I have no doubt at all that when the trouble really begins with al-Qaeda and Isis in western Europe, that trickle is going to become a flood." He added: "And I hope that Hungary, the Hungarian government, the Hungarian people, will welcome people who are genuine refugees from western Europe but keep out the liberals who have brought western Europe to this state in the first place." Griffin said he still intends to keep up with political activism while living in Hungary. When asked where he intends to live in Hungary, the extreme right-winger said that while Budapest is a "fantastic city" he is a country boy by nature so will "probably live somewhere out in the sticks, as we would say in England". http://flip.it/vQ6_4c

Pissflaps, instead of posting why don't you do something for your community, or join your local Labour Party. Or volunteer at a food bank or soup kitchen?

I would be very surprised If either the us or eu wanted to open up their internal flight markets Also lol at the very idea of the EU allowing Canadian airlines access to Europe in return for getting access to the comparatively tiny market of Canada hahah loving hell just lol

jBrereton posted:Well since the whole thing is being done under a massive cloud of secrecy I suppose we'll just have to see what TTIP brings to the continent. There is nothing stopping American companies opening up European subsidiaries at the moment. Most major airlines already have partnership agreements with airlines in other countirs. Eu is dominated by budget airlines and it's expensive to set up new routes and airlines. Gonna be lots of industries that get hosed by brexit. Ahaha goddamn the British are stupid

jBrereton posted:Work visas and free trade plus a continued contribution/take not far from what we paid with the rebate, minus CAP which will be handled internally. I would assume, and assume is the key word here, that reaction to that set up will be used as a sounding board for how maastricht is changed (because it probably will be) in future. free trade, you mean tariff free? we keep our financial passporting? what about customs controls? these are the things that the EU will not compromise on because that's what being an EU member is all about. also what about trade deals we have to renegotiate with other countries?

let's not forget that at the same time we have to negotiate trade deals with every other country on earth at the same time as handling EU negotiations.

Private Speech posted:Reminds me of that guy who went to the US to be with his wife but doesn't like Mexicans and supports Trump and Brexit. Or that one American who complained here about "people not following the right routes" after having gone through a ton of hassle to live in the UK with his British wife (yeah I know he's not the only one in that position who posts in this thread). to be fair if you support trump and hate mexicans it's quite a good time to have moved to the US.

So I was listening to the world service as I do and on newshour or something they had this interview with Carne Ross who was a British diplomat in Iraq prior to and in the run up to the war. Long story short he was very close to the weapons inspectors before the drums of war were beating, presenting their findings to the UN etc. as such he knew more than anyone that the British govt was totally lying. anyway, he's an anarchist now and has some interesting things to say. http://www.cornell.edu/video/carne-ross-perpetual-peace-gone-forever-welcome-perpetual-war http://billmoyers.com/content/carne-ross-nine-principles-for-action/ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/feb/15/curveball-wmd-carne-ross

The eu is gonna gently caress the UK so hard and they will say no freedom of trade without freedom of movement. And that's best case scenario

There is a shred of doubt because the EU has to agree to that and they might want to put the boot in. Also if we agree to free trade and free movement what exactly was the loving point of leaving?

The EU wants to discourage other nations from leaving and steal the city of London.
