Invest in Kennel’s and Pet Hotels now!!!
Trying to create an emotional response using the INSANE, sentimental American pet culture as an argument against Brexit?
LMFAO.
WHAT! I can’t travel without my Gerbils? How cruel and inconvenient.
Uh, why is this posted in the “Religion” section???
“...you pretty much are just taking care of them somewhere else.”
Ain’t that the truth...
“Honey, I’m gonna have to skip the Uffizi tour. Gotta get back to the hotel and take the dogs for a walk.”
The cover of a 1973 “National Lampoon” magazine featured a black and white dog named “Cheeseface” cowering with a chrome plated revolved pointed at his head with the caption “If you don’t buy this magazine, we’ll kill this dog.” With I still had the copy I bought in ‘73.
Britain has, or at least did have, a strict quarantine law for pets entering the country to prevent rabies—Britain being an island and all. Hawaii has the same policy—something like a couple of months. Has that changed?
Desperation move by ReMoaners here.
Actually, it does make a lot of sense for Europe to form as one country. Copy the US Constitution, and go from there. Just keep it more federated like we’re supposed to be. Actually, I think Europe would be better at this than we are, as their states would guard their sovereignty a lot better than ours have!
Save your children from terrorists!
Buy a shotgun!
Good grief.
The 'Remains' are having a hissy fit.
I am currently on vacay, and I have not only my own dog with me, I am caring for a friend’s dog while she and her daughter are in Italy and Greece.
They’re having fun, I’m having fun, and her dog is having the time of her life, going places and doing things she’s never done before.
People that don’t like dogs seem less trustworthy to me. Especially if dogs don’t like them!!
the USA and Canada already have NAFTA. And we’re talking about two political entities here - imagine if say Czechia had to create agreements with all 27 other countries? That would take time.
The EU essentially takes away that time - it’s a common trade policy.
With regards to the USA-Canada border it doesn’t have soldiers but it has police forces stationed at the borders and there are checkpoiints.
The free flow of goods and services are under the NAFTA agreement.
The UK can have bilateral agreements with each country but that would take a lot of time and also smaller countries such as Latvia or Estonia or Malta would be disadvantaged in any such negotiations.
Imagine if every Canadian province had to negotiate a separate trade agreement with every other province. That would take time and effort.
Now also
1. There isn’t a “European economy” - the individual countries set their own economic policies.
2. They are not one nation economically - they only commonly pool together on trade deals.
3. Each country has a different tax structure, different budget plans, different goals, taxes, rebates etc.
The different countries can easily “survive” - what the confederation does is allow them to thrive and also to reduce the multiplication of agreements
No, it doesn’t make sense for it to be one country.
The model is more the Old Swiss Confederation, where each canton/country was/is practically independent but pool together against outsider aggression.
The USA is a country - but hte states haave slightly less freedom than German Landen and much less freedom than Swiss Cantons.
The Queen’s opinion isn’t known.
Whenever a PM asks the Queen to approve something, she does it - she technically can refuse but she hasn’t in her long, long reign.
Yes,and that's *exactly* the way it should be between to sovereign nations.I frequently cross the US/Canada border and it takes me about 20 seconds in each direction.Particularly since that East German hausfrau decided to invite millions of military age moslem males into Europe every nation should be able to ban them from their territory. Thanks to that East German,Sweden...SWEDEN...is now the rape capital of Europe.and it's no blonde haired,blue eyed guys who are doing the raping.Would you care to guess *who* is doing the raping?
A year or two the mayor of a major German city (can't recall which one) said that the solution to the problem of German girls and women being molested by moslem males is for those women to dress differently...more modestly.
That's the European Union of today...and anyone with an IQ greater than 60 could have predicted it 30 years ago.
and it's no blonde haired=And it's not blonde haired
Lol
