As I pointed out to a fellow political party member: <BR/><BR/>"Who gets to decide which public service I am eligible to and under what terms I'm allowed to live here, if at all, and under what terms I'm allowed to accept a job elsewhere inside EU, if at all? That's right, Arcadia Hill and Bruxelles, NOT the city hall. Back to the drawing board!"<BR/><BR/>Basically, what share of the budget will go to schools versus public transportation is the least of my worries. Far more scary is the possibility of seeing yet another Leftist bastard nominated as the Minister of Internal Affairs (which has jurisdiction over Immigration and Border Guards) or of seeing Bruxelles move towards a policy of treating all people not bearing an EU passport as potential terrorists.Martin-Érichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394315280689943764noreply@blogger.com
