London has been the center of finance and commerce since Henry VIII and nothing Paris can do will change that. They should be content with being the home of style and fashion.

Interesting that in terms of the EU, Norway’s Prime Minister Erna Solberg talks about its ‘four freedoms’. :)

Aaaight. If this were done by a republican and reported on the LSM it would be a "tax cut for the rich".
Lessee how it's presented coming from a leftist. d:^)

“Brexit happened just in time.”

Yeah, for the Brits. But, the other EU members are screw. Merkel is slowly but surely doing what no German has been able to do in the past. That being to dominate and control Europe. The Hun is re-emerging and reasserting itself without firing a single shot. However and alas, the US will not come to the rescue this time......

If you want to see who runs banking, go to Luxembourg City on Google Earth and do some “street view” perusing downtown.

Why would anyone go to Paris voluntarily?

It’s been overrun by third world murderers.

For a Norwegian, it isn’t interesting.

We are defacto members of the EU, and we have been since 1994.

Solberg comes from the conservative party.

Labour and almost all other parties agree.

So yeah.

Four freedoms are us.

And we pay a huge monthly fee to keep that access.

Funnily enough, the EU has to share the joke with us.

Because the money we send is not “free money”. They come with earmarks. Poland buying Norwegian subs and rocket systems..... We are giving the Poles money, so they can give it back.

Though in that little equation, there is a wealth transfer. From the average tax payer to companies in the arms industries.

The worst earmarks though are about trying to force LBQt and other ideologies on Poland.

Lastly, current summer polls about Norway and the EU:

72 percent against. 18 percent in favour.

Young people are by far the most hostile to the EU.

and between 20-30 percent wants to leave the four freedoms altogether.

So we are in a stable path as the “Norway solution” . I honestly think the UK should have gone for that.

Infact, unless brexit is not removed altogether. I do expect the UK to enter into a Norway type deal.
