This will have no adverse affects on wages, there is definitely skill shortages in IT and nursing in the EU, anyone mentioning immigration is a racist xenophobe, there is no comparison to the UK nor Canada, do not talk about the huge amount of outsourcing to India already happening, your personal experiences are racism, is it cold in Russia?

Did I miss anything?

And a VC. VCs are famously known for supporting unions, railing against wage suppression, directly supporting higher wages, advocating protective policies etc. /s

> You seem to have some serious anger issue

Ad hominem so I'll discard most of your post. You lose when you try to insult my character.

> Spanish railways have lately killed a horrifying amount of passengers

Swiss bars have lately burned a horrifying amount of customers. Get your own house in order :)

Of course Rusform UK promise to repeal it - they want Russian trolls to have as much unfettered access to the British public as possible

Yeah, fair enough, just didn't want people to waste their time with the councillors regarding national legislation

Councillors have a totally different role though and aren't involved in creating legislation

Spain having built 20x more HSR than Switzerland in absolute terms, and much more HSR in terms proportional to country size, does actually does give them the right not to be lectured on HSR by a tiny country with a well-known superiority complex - especially when it's a cheap, incoherent shot soon after a tragedy.

I could make a cheap shot about fires in bars...but I won't.

I mean maybe something of merit in that, but Spain has nearly 4000km of hitherto excellent and safe high speed rail and Switzerland around 200 km. Who should be giving lessons to whom? ;) Totally different scale of operations

An Asturias Circanías train collided with debris from a collapsed tunnel wall on Thursday afternoon in Olloniego. No injured though

Got a link?

And how does it accord with the many statements made early on about the track being renewed recently?

I'm not a bad person, I just continuously do bad things, none of which is my fault - there is always a deeper root cause \o/

Brit here. Yes because the average Brit is insufficiently educated to understand the harm. They are very easily swayed by "think of the children" or saving just one life. They consume huge amounts of propaganda with little to zero critical thinking

I love how powerful the GDPR marketing was that it made people forget that there are massive exceptions for prevention of crime and for the government
