Comments by "Nigel Johnson" (@nigeljohnson9820) on "JEFTA: Why the agreement between Japan and the EU is a big deal" video.

  1. So Japan is accepting the four freedoms. Japan will abide by the rulings of ECJ. Thought not.

  2. Michael Thomson the ones are not the brightest are those who arranged for the UK to join this parasitic organisation in the first place and those who wish for the UK remain bound to it. The thing about the EU policy of encouragement of co-dependence, is that it works both ways. When the EU damages the UK it damages its own interests in the UK. There was no need for this co-dependence, it's a political means to bind the EU together, trapping member states in the union. The UK must break free. As to the Japanese deal, there is no mention of ECJ involvement in the agreement documents. I doubt the Japanese government will allow its self to be over ruled by an EU court. They are not exactly unbiased. As the ireland, the EU is just using this as another way to trap the UK in the customs union. If the UK is forced back into the EU, I sincerely hope that we elect the most Eurosceptic government that poisons the union from the inside. The EU is clearly evil and should be destroyed.

  3. Gustav Mukki assuming you get anything at all. The report suggests that Japan is doing to the EU what you did to the UK. The Japanese are moving in on the EU. If the UK leaves with no deal the EU will get nothing.

  4. Gustav Mukki a no deal Brexit is reportedly going to cost the EU £500 billion. Laugh that off.

  5. Gustav Mukki move to the EU where they are going to be taxed to death. I believe you.

  6. the dab before extolling the virtues of the financial sector, consider he damage they have done. The bank of England was forced to print money for the banks to keep them solvent. As a result savers have lost billions of pounds from their savings. The pension companies claim a fortune in management fees, but when the pensioner wants their pensions, they find the fund has been sold to a vulture management company giving the pensioner a poor return after years of scrimping and saving to payi into the pension. Hedge funds take over successful companies using borrowed money, they then transfer the debt to the victim company while asset stripping it for IP or anything else of value. The CEOs of these financial monsters receive honours for services to industry and retire on huge pensions. Often the short term gains made from the sale of UK assets and critical industry are dwarfed by the loss of profits to the UK as the new foreign owners export the profits offshore and manage to show a loss in the UK, sometimes resulting in a tax rebate. As I said before, these companies expect to take the profits in the good times and expect the tax payers to bail out their losses.

  7. Hadi Purwanto our financial sector was working under eu rules and they must take some responsibility. You should also be aware that EU banks have similar problems and the ECB has been very busy printing money creating austerity in the EU. Your last paragraph makes light of the importance of sovereignty, but I have no wish to be bound into the emerging EU super state, and before you say the super state will never happen, I must point out that nothing has deflected it from this goal, only the speed of convergence has wavered. It is a simple fact that the euro zone cannot survive without federal government control of the whole EU economy. So no amount of protest by member states is going to stop this monster being born This channel will have it that the EU makes demands and the UK makes requests. We are not making requests we are making demands and the EU can face the consequence of failing to comply.

  8. Hadi Purwanto the EU has introduced majority voting and it sets the rule by which financial institutions operate. If not, financial services could not be provided across the EU. The UK is dominated by this sector, which maybe why it has been so badly affected, but the EU banks are just as insolvent, it's just the EU hides its money problems better, usually by deferring any decisions.

  9. LV31 the UK does not need more than this.

  10. Lancel Lannister they maybe be moving off shore , but not TO the EU . Note to not too. I do hope the UK financial sector jobs to the EU. Hopefully they will treat the EU economy the same way they have the UK.

  11. the dab and you are welcome to it. Like most financial services companies they expect to keep the profits in the good times and the tax payer to bail them out during the bad. I hope the EU tax payer enjoys financing them.

  12. Huikwan Cheung japan, like many other independent nations, have identified the EU as a market in which to sell. An area ripe for exploitation. Good luck to them, the EU deserves all the exploitation it gets.
