Eastern Europe

Do you mean Russia?

Or do you mean members of the EU?

 

[noseall]

Nah, closer to home

I think you'll find that old Trumpy, the RWR's and the Ruskies are doing more to destroy democracy than any other people on Earth.

Free movement, especially from Eastern Europe to West is part of a Neoliberal policy.

Neoliberalism is like laissez-faire politics. It does not determine the free movement of people, and absolutely does not determine the areas of origin nor the areas of destination.

It might be an unintended consequence of neoliberalism:

It also helps to maintain a reasonable ratio between younger workers and older retired people, so young Eastern Europeans pay tax which helps fund the ever increasing pension burden, Like a pyramid scheme.

Therefore immigration is a necessary requirement for capitalism to function and perpetuate?

Oh dear, Wannabe isnt able to make the connection with the post I had quoted.

Let me help to simplify it. No it does not determine the free movement of people, it merely a word.

It is a term applied to a policy of a government or intitution that can determine the laws involving movement of people.

No government other than maybe North Korea can force origin and destination, but it can by policy encourage the direction it wants to achieve.

As to Teslas - I need to look into any tax incentive to buy it.

If you run your own business or have a company car scheme or salary sacrifice scheme it can come in around Half price.

So, according to you, the Freedom of movement in Europe is a determination of neoliberalism?
What utter nonsense!

What like Schengen?
Schengen Area?
"The Schengen Area is an area comprising 26 European states that have officially abolished passport and all other types of border control at their mutual borders"

The EU is Neoliberal in outlook and Freedom of movement is EU policy , therefore freedom of movement is the natural outcome of Neoliberalism.
Cheap labour has short term benefits for the private interests who import it but long term social consequences for society which has to pay for the social fallout from uncontrolled immigration.

Who is responsible for uncontrolled immigration in the UK?

The UK government, or the EU ?

A comment that needed addressing.
