People who believe in free trade should read “The Myth of Free Trade and the secret history of Capitalism by Ha-Joon Chang: The truth is free trade only benefits developed countries. A much better system of trade would be based on Quid Pro Quo. This way bloated USA farmers would not export subsidized, Frankenstein, chickens to Africa, giving locals an opportunity to develop their own enterprises.

enjoyed reading,all of the above statements.
but i believe that protection of jobs for nationals within there own nation,was a fundimental belief of conservatism.
i know that free trade is the best way forward,but when recession bites,we really should put our own first.both in buying our own nations goods and ensuring a british job for a british national first and foremost.
in western europe,we need to take a look at australias policy with the above beliefs,in that when an aussie cant fill a role,then and only then can the job be filled by a non national.
if you study wages and salaries,we will see that workers from foreign lands undercut nationals and salaries become almost frozen for long periods.
you will find that when these nations become richer and on a kin with the old west,they will not be as obliging in outposting there jobs as we are….and we will get no thanks whatsoever.

hi guys and girls,
I HONESTLY FEEL THAT FREE TRADE AND FREE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE
IS BOTH LOGICAL AND MORALLY RIGHT.
HOWEVER,IT MUST BE REMEMBERED THAT EASTERN EUROPE IS AND
ALWAYS WILL BE A VERY DIFFERENT MINDSET TO THE OLD WESTERN EUROPEAN WAY OF THINKING.
IT IS UNJUSTIFIED THAT SO MANY EASTERN EUROPEANS HAVE ACCESS TO THE WEST NOW,THEY HAVE JOINED UP TO THE E.U FAR TOO QUICKLY AND FAR TOO MANY.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE LITTLE OR NOTHING IN COMMON WITH US AND IT IS NOW CLEAR THAT THEY HAVE LITTLE OR NO INTEREST IN INTERGRATING WITH OUR NATIONALS.
THEY SPEND A MINUTE AMOUNT IN OUR ECONOMYS,SHIP VAST AMOUNTS OF THERE WAGES BACK HOME,AND ITS NOT LIKE THEY EVER PUT ANYTHING INTO THE WEST IN THE FIRST PLACE,IF ANYTHING WHERE HAPPY TO HIDE BEHIND THERE OLD IRON CURTAIN,WHILST OUR ECONOMYS FALTERED IN THE 80,S TO MAINTAINE THERE MENACING SOVIET BLOC THREAT.
THE EXPANSION OF EUROPE WAS TOO MUCH,TOO SOON AND FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER IS A ONE WAT STREET,WITH OUR NATIONS RECEIVING NOTHING IN RETURN,EASTERN EUROPE SHOULD BRING MORE TO THE TABLE.

We didn’t need the EU or World trade talks 300,200 or 100 yrs ago and we prospered.
These Trade talks are simply guises, they are talking shops on how the Global elites are to carve up the world for their own benefit, nothing at all to do with we the People, as we were warned and as we can now plainly see.

I disagree, it is Globalism, that has got us into this mess, destroying our own industries, fishing and farming and leaving us at the mercy of imports and foreign ownership is tantamount to setting sail on the high seas without the protection of watertight bulkheads should the inevitable storm hit, and it just has.
