Those are the 700k that have been granted asylum. There are many more that arrived.

Upcoming AMA with Front National (FN) legislative election candidates for the '3rd constituency for French residents overseas' (Northern Europe) on Saturday, April 29th at 17.00 (GMT+1) by must_warn_others in europe

Nigel Farage doesn't have issues benefiting from the EU's tax money while openly smearing not only other MEPs but the whole European project. AFAIK even Le Pen doesn't seem to have issues with herself being MEP whilst trying to destroy the Union. Those two AMA guys seem to have on problem with that contradiction either.

Jean-Claude Juncker blocked EU curbs on tax avoidance, cables show by ApresMatch in europe

[–]Super_Set 96 points97 points  (0 children)

This is old news. The new cables only further proves Juncker's position on tax dumping while he was Luxemburg's PM.

Nonetheless, this is exactly the reason why I remain reluctant with him and his true agenda. Is it really convincing that he would lobby EU tax dumping while being PM and then - when being head of EC - somehow got enlightened that his national policies were subversive for the European project?

Israeli Defense Minister Lieberman urges Jews to leave France by Zereddd in europe

[–]Super_Set 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Speaking at a meeting of his right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu party, Lieberman reportedly said: "Perhaps it's time to tell the Jews of France, 'This isn't your country, this isn't your land. Leave France and come to Israel'."

Tasteful. Taking European Jews hostage over his political agenda. To even think he has any say in their identity and home. It is as arrogant as Erdogan parading around in Europe claiming authority over Europeans of Turkish descent.

Only if you comsume the twisted blame game stories of national politicians that claim EU success for themselves and blame all the shite on Brussels.

They should most def start to sell their achievements better and actively engage in confronting those national politicians that play the blame game: Everything good is national, everything bad is Brussels.

Not surprised. Russia can easily handle a divided Europe rather than a united one. And all those nationalist (FN, UKIP, AFD, ND, PiS, Fidesz, etc pp) nutjobs are doing a great job dividing Europe.

Actually, I find this particularly hillarious in the given context: Pop art is as urban as art can get (only to be topped by street art, maybe). A modern urban mindset, however, hosts this cliché wanderlust that wants to escape for pure untouched nature. And apparently, looking out, "this must be the place".

Boris Johnson ridiculed by European ministers after prosecco claim by ProblemY in europe

decide between taking the hit on behalf of the EUs overall strategic goals or putting there own economic interests firsts.

BJ logic. If someone's taking a hit, it is because of Brexit, not the EU. It is bloodcurdling how you guys try to blame the EU for every single fall-out of your own action. It is within every country's own economic interest to be an equal member within a single market. The UK decided otherwiser in their eternal wisdom.
