EU contract policy to blame for lost UK work

It will be such a shame as it’s a nice market especially in the summer months. It’s cold and dank in winter as the council have neglected it for many a year. Quite a few stall holders are all year round but many other stall holders including craft stalls stand from about easter to December. If the market had been more attractive and advertised etc then more customers would go. Last year a stall holder’s husband cleaned the windows as they had not been cleaned for some time, years?? and were filthy. If they really do intend to close it then they should provide another venue/place for it to go.

I think you may find the EU have a hand in why that contract went to Spain rather than the UK.

People should remember that whilst we have been a member we have played by the rules of the EU. Rules governing contracts such as this are open to all EU countries and the home country cannot show favour to their own country.

Do you remember recently when one of our steel plants was on its knees?

The EU would not allow our Government to inject some capital to try and safeguard thousands of jobs. The EU would have seen the plant fail and all the workforce lose their livelihoods. rolling stock.

As I’m sure he knows, we do indeed have at least one.

Unfortunately for UK workers, we are also subject to EU rules which prevent us from favouring UK firms. Just saying. SO time travel really exists!

Here we are, apparently back in 2014 according to our MPs.

They think they have to decide whether to leave, remain, or remain partly in the EU. Mayhem! Some MPs demand we should become an offshore province, being obedient, taking migrants, and being a cash cow for the United States of Europe, as the EU will soon become. They expect to be Very Important People in the USE.

A few MPs really want us to leave the EU, but - hey - there are always swivel-eyed loons. Ludicrous! This is not the 16th century. We don’t have the technology, or the resources, or the courage, to go sailing off round the globe any more.

And, anyway, leaving is too complicated. Even though the EU makes hardly any rules at all, so we’re told.

Of course the majority of MPs simply fear they might have to work; and their supply of subsidised food, beer and jollies will dry up.

A very few suggest that, since MPs can’t decide, then maybe we should have an in/out referendum. Nonsense!

How can the electorate be trusted? The voters are all thick, uneducated, gullible and waycist. Look what a mess they make electing MPs!

But wait - what happens if the electorate actually votes to leave? Disaster!

There would be a depression, massive unemployment as bad as the south of the EU, and WW3. Even house prices would plummet!

Then a future government, maybe run by that nice Mrs May, would be forced to leave the EU. Unthinkable!

Actually, if a leave vote ever happened, the best course of action would be inaction. Noone would notice. Well, no-one important anyway.

Pretending to leave - the civil servants’ preference - solves all the problems.

MPs could go back to their nice comfy offices and their nice comfy secretaries, whilst taking down the EU’s instructions to pass on to the rest of us. Everyone’s happy.

Well, everyone anyway.
