All these countries have exported labour for which they receive payment. This impacts the balance of payments of all concerned. For the UK this a negative impact, as long as the exports produced by this imported labour are greater in value then the outcome for the UK is positive.

Mr Micawber's famously sums it up.

"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen shillings and six pence, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."

True for people, businesses and countries.

Well for what it's worth if I were living in the UK I would vote old unionist until we get rid of the new one but votes are not really important as we know.
I honestly think intelligent nationalists voted against the SNP recommendations in Scotland and I think the DUP is also winning seats because of a closet national vote.
Of course we do not believe in your mythology although to be fair we have our own.
Anyhow a small minority of people understand the EUs regionalisation objectives .
At best we can only stall the process until the population changes to a even more AmeriCorps rudderless mass of wage slaves with no historical claim on the land to speak of.
I think the EU won the war in 2004 , we are just still stuck in the bog after the battle trying to figure out how to fill our empty lives.
People will change into something post modern ( god help us ) and we will all die.

It autism is 'more likely near busy roads', could that be because more people live near busy roads?

And if air pollution were a cause of autism, shouldn't there have been much higher incidence of autism in the past, when our big cities were often choked with smog?

Something very stilted about the body language at the start.
Kind of like how English or Northern French move into a alien town.
Later on you see the shops as showpieces rather then as functional trading areas .
I suspect commerce is limited to tourists and other blow ins who made a large capital amount in the city but with limited cashflow.

I will not ask you what shop
Liam Russell perhaps.

I think this video is very instructive .
It seems somehow artificial - I am not really a fan of this gentrification.
Notice how the well intentioned urbanite bought the entire bloc off the IRS which closed the natives down.
The town was more or less preserved in a 1920s style because the town was bypassed after the depression.

Greenpeace thugs
MD of Clearcast - threats and abuse, the other side of the Iceland ad. “We...subsequently took pictures of our team off the website (they had been circulating on Twitter)”

We don't ban ads, but we can't approve ads that break the law.
“We took our company Facebook page down entirely,” said Mundy, in a blogpost. “It was intended to be a social bridge between staff and agencies, but it was overtaken by abusive comment. We’ve decided that Facebook isn’t a business-to-business platform and the page won’t return"

The father-in-law had a shop in Blessed Oliver Plunkett street, Cork City. I'm sure the town was approaching paradise, albeit asymptotically, and a long way from the asymptote.
