You should confirm it then come to any conclusion. We are enough strong to protect our rights on tax. <b><a href="http://russellandhill.com/lynnwood-personal-injury/" rel="nofollow">personal injury lawyer</a></b><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704899696538705849.post-90235189361017123702016-10-11T13:56:41.324-07:002016-10-11T13:56:41.324-07:00I was the lucky recipient of a rather different so...I was the lucky recipient of a rather different sort of exclusion from policy advice, as a UK citizen who had been resident in other EU countries since 1997, and who had advised the European Commission, four European governments, various UN agencies and the Council of Europe parliamentary assembly. I returned to the UK in July 2014 and in 2015 tried to apply for a post in the Home Office's so-called Independent Migration Advisory Committee. I was told that I could not do so, as all such posts were restricted to EEA nationals who had resided in the UK for the previous 5 years. The reason? -- apparently, MI5 cannot check up on you sufficiently if you reside in another EU country. Such is the "independence" of the UK advisory committee, which recruitment process also required being interviewed by Theresa May (Home Secretary at the time) to ensure that all "independent" experts are of a suitable political and personal disposition. <br /><br />Independent experts, my arse: the UK has become a banana kingdom without any bananas. It is no surprise that experts are held in low repute by the uneducated masses of Britain when their ignorant and scheming politicians have promoted that view.Martin Baldwin-Edwardshttp://www.mmo.grnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704899696538705849.post-40838079055533629812016-10-10T10:13:46.881-07:002016-10-10T10:13:46.881-07:00As things are going it is not excluded that the go...As things are going it is not excluded that the government will give out such orders (whether openly or not). Thus, not to early to ask: is this legal while the UK is still in the EU? my thoughts on this with a short url: http://bit.ly/2deI9mW <br /><br />Dagmar Schiekhttp://go.qub.ac.uk/schieknewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704899696538705849.post-89242669157282628412016-10-08T10:04:31.022-07:002016-10-08T10:04:31.022-07:00Oh always option 3!

Whenever we marched through London,the LSE mob were always put at the back, on the basis that they would cause trouble, so that was the best place to contain them. By the time we got to: Trafalgar Square/The American Embassy, the buggers had ALWAYS worked their way to the front, where they engaged the constabulary in verbal abuse. Fast forward to the Iraq War demo: my daughter was studying Government at LSE, and decided to go on the march. Quote: 'they put us at the back, but by the time we got to Trafalgar Square, we'd all worked our way to the front.' QED: LSE = the best chance of confronting this awful demagogue of a rightwingbordering upon fascist Government. And can we both come on the demo?Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.com
