European Union source says the EU has agreed to open a new negotiating chapter with Turkey on its bid for membership. Perfect timing, or not?
Source?British diplomats originally refused to take part, but caved in after a couple of hours of cuddling from the EU bureaucrats.
It is of no consequence to the UK now, we are out and on our bike thank f*ck for that!
I commented on it in this thread when it was first reported (with an extract from the FT)

So, we are now up to 16 chapters open out of the 35. But how many are closed you say? Why that would be 1. Since 2005. So only another 34 to go (of which they haven't even opened 19 of them).
At this rate, they will all be open by 2030, and they will all be closed by around the year 2400.
Still, glad we voted to avoid the influx of Turkish immigrants into the UK sometime in the next 380 years, that was a close call.

If Albania or Macedonia can get a win from the EU, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Turkey won't be far behind.
Cameron suggested Turkey would be lucky to make it before the year 3000, given his track record you can knock off a considerable number of decades, and the EU are not renowned for sticking to their own rules.

Surely if they really wanted to do that, it wouldn't have taken 10 years to close 1 of the 35 chapters and to open less than half of them?If Albania or Macedonia can get a win from the EU, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Turkey won't be far behind.

If the EU is so keen on breaking their own rules, why haven't they just blocked Article 50 and told the UK we can't leave? Oh, is it because they have rules they won't break, and the only people who regularly break the rules are the member states themselves? A number of which never want to see Turkey part of the EU, and will veto that until the sun expands and destroys the earth.
The stuff people come up with astounds me.

Turkey won't gain admission in the next 2 years. After that, it won't be any of our business.

Nice. So we, or the EU, have spent billions helping Turkey get ready to join .. cold hard logic tells me this isn't something you would do for '380 years' time?
And look again at the timing of latest developments (or news of them).

It may even be illegal.
Here's the thing from my point of view, does the British Government have the right to remove my status as an EU citizen?
Hopefully they don't.

isn't this contradiction and attempt at 'legal' traps precisely why many voted leave?
I cannot imagine that the legal consequences of a Referendum had not been discussed and dealt with prior to the referendum and there was little discussion about this prior to the result funny that.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
