Shortly after it formed in June, the NPF outlined its ambitious economic programme and how it would fund it.

It included:

• raising the minimum wage

• price controls on essential foods, electricity, gas and petrol

• lowering the retirement age to 60

• a new 90% tax on any annual income above €400,000 (£337,954)

• heavy investment in green transition and public services

Who remembers when France had proposed a 75% tax on income over 1m? Seems they have gotten bolder in 2024..lol.

France drops its 75% tax rate on millionaires​

My reaction now is same as Will Smith's back then when he was told this.

Well, looks like someone in the EP finally spoke up

... because Europeans refuse to upsticks and leave... hence it continues to stand.

A friend moved back last year and returned a month later, he asked his friends why they have allowed it to turn to a shithole, and the amount of paperwork - they just shrugged, like a boiling frog.

This was in Belgium and it's a problem each year as many come from Brussels and Antwerp to enjoy the beach along with the Belgium families, hard working tax paying citizens, unlike those who come with a different attitude. The frustration comes mainly from the fact that abiding citizens get punished/taxed over nothing and everything while other groups seem to get a free pass for everything. The police patrols on every beach so yes it appalling the way they left it. And yes people bark and complain on their way to work Monday morning how unfair it all is, yet by the evening life goes back to "normal" hehe.
People. I would be so fine on a little island by myself...

Ah yes, 50 years from now, the EUSSR will undoubtedly still be around. And if by some twist of fate OCT is still kicking by then, I’ll personally be the first to dust off this thread. Oh, wait !! I might not be around in half a century... but maybe my ‘soul’ will swing by for a cameo.

I seriously doubt it!

In case you were thinking about leaving the UK.

And they did not waste time in reflecting the new CGT tax rate either....lol

You’ll pay:

• 24% on your gains from residential property
• 28% on your gains from ‘carried interest’ if you manage an investment fund
• 24% on your gains from other chargeable assets

I seriously doubt it!

What do you think is going to happen ?

What do you think is going to happen ?

Europe is gradually disappearing, the culture and traditions are fading away as more and more immigrants are coming to stay.
They have no reason to integrate, they are bringing their own traditions, and I'm sorry to say they are also bringing crime.

We could have a new thread just for this topic, it's a long subject.

It won't go away, that simple.

That's insane. I'm broadly in favor of letting people squat genuinely abandoned and un-cared for property. But somewhere with a full set of appliances and the owner paying for electric???

Believe it or not, Spain doesn't punish squatters, other European countries kick them out within 24 hours, and sends them to jail, but not in Spain as it's not a crime under Spanish law.

Squatters can live in your property for free while you pay for their water and electricity (no you cannot cut the water supply or the electricity while the squatters are living in your property, if you do you'll be charge with coercion which is punishable with up to 2 years in jail.)

So basically yes, you can go to Spain and live for free (water & electricity included) and stay there for a few years, and when they finally kick you out you can just go an find another property (the new law dictates that when they're going to kick you out they have to notify you so they don't catch you by surprise. So you can just plan ahead of time and leave the day before the police knock on your door.)

General elections are taking place in Spain this month, the conservative party has promised that if they win they will change the law so squatters can be kicked out within 24 hours, but if the Socialist party stays in power start packing your bags and move to Spain right away.

All this is crazy but sadly true.

Property rights are an extension of freedom, and the cornerstone of a just society. What the state constantly attempts to destroy. Brainwashing is part of its strategy.
