The Watch List...
BEFORE replying to this thread, please read the following carefully.
You had a run in with a driver who harrassed you or somehow did something so stupid to you or another cyclist that they should be watched out for... Here is where you post the license plate of the vehicle, a description of the vehicle, and a brief description of the event. Just reply to this thread... Post on the watch list ONLY if you have license plate, or such a solid description of the car (such as an art car) that we could recognize it... Perhaps if enough people can document their run-in's with the same vehicle, we can use it to build a case for legal action. Pics are encouraged. If you have questions then please post them on The Watch List's Q & A thread. This list IS NOT for advise, questions, or sympathy messages, they will be deleted or moved, it is only to record the bare minimums. This is done so we don't have to read tons of unrelated material. A second, more detailed post can be done in the Close Call subforum, and a link can be set up between this thread and the other post (and the usual replies can be done in the Close Call subforum). And again, if you have questions, please post them to The Watch List's Q & A thread. Lets Pray This List Stays Short. Be Safe Out There! K'Tesh |
YCP 533, Red SUV
Here's the inspiration behind my idea of the "Watch List"
A Red SUV. Oregon License Plate YCP 533 Unprovoked Honking, harassment by passenger, Near Miss... For more details, see Trouble @ Beaverton TC 3/26/8. |
Salem's "Red Pickup Guy"
This guy certainly belongs here: Salem's "Red Pickup Guy"
Maroon Red Dodge pickup with matching canopy License: VAA 258 Driver: Ray Clinebell approx 75 yrs old, gray hair, heavy set build. Convicted: Following Too Close and Violation of Use Limits of Sound Equipment (Horn). Usually only a menace to cyclists in the Brush College area of West Salem (at least, as far as we know) |
YLJ 514, light colored sedan
Oregon license YLJ 514, light colored sedan. Probably college-age boys, yelling at me and threw food at me, twice, on Burnside in Gresham. Passenger throwing food has a pierced tongue, for what that's worth.
I made a report with Gresham PD. Officer was nice and said he's going to make contact - car registered in LaPine - but said without injury or seeing the event he didn't know what they could be charged with. |
Silver sports car... Possibly a corvette
personallized plate: ZOOM 44 Unproked honking (Violation of Use Limits of Sound Equipment (Horn)). Passing too close. Please post replys to the description post. |
If only my airzound was working, your ears would be ringing mo-fo.
Time/Date: about 5pm. Sunday June 1st.
Newer-looking silver car. License plate 71? ???. Car makes a hissing type sound, like an air compressor, when shifting. Driver: Mid 20's. Not skinny. Dark short hair. Possible Hispanic descent. Location: Powell, next to the credit union that is east of 122nd. Diver was sitting in his car that was partially in the bikelane with engine on. His passenger had just jumped into the car. I whistled to alert the diver that I was passing so he wouldn't door me, or pull out and run me over. The driver stuck his hand out his window and flipped me the bird, I followed suit while I passed him. The driver then preceded to pull out and drive towards me in the bikelane, I pulled over to the right (without stopping) and the driver passed me while fully in the bikelane. |
YAZ 279 Giant Burgandy Truck
License Plate: YAZ 279
Description: giant burgundy truck Harrassment, Menacing... Drove a cyclist into some traffic cones, swerved at cyclist. This was taken from Craigslist's Rant And Rave pages... Forwarded to me, but not by the author. |
White Delivery/Moving Truck
License Plate: VMX 670 (Oregon)
Vehicle Description: White moving or delivery type truck. No noticable logos or writing. Location: West bound on SE Powell just before intersection at SE Powell and SE Milwaukie Date/Time: Wed June 8, 2008 at about 7:45AM I heard a vehicle come up behind me and I thought it was probably a bus. I glanced back to see the grill of a white truck 4 to 5 feet directly behind me. I maintained my speed and was about 1.5 feet off the right curb. The truck sped up to pass, but paused when the passenger side was even with me, about 3 feet from me, and the passeger (wearing a baseball cap and what looked like a gray college logo pullover) leaned out the window to yell at me, "Get off the fucking road. Go home". They then sped up and made the right turn off of SE Powell onto North bound SE Milwaukie. Quote:
Oregon plate CL 13032
dark metallic green Subaru station wagon. The driver was deeply engrossed in a paperback book while driving. White male, redish blond hair mid 20s |
19 Aug 08 13:10
Westbound SE 34th between SE 192nd Ave & SE Hiddenbrook Dr, Vancouver Silver Suzuki, Compact Sedan Washington plates: 068 SWV http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3175/...31472e.jpg?v=0 Man in late 40s, early 50s, gray hair, eyeglasses. Following too closely (close enough that I couldn't see his front bumper in my mirror), revving engine and buzzing during pass. I was traveling approx 30mph (can check GPS if needed). He was in a big hurry to get to red light at SE Hiddenbrook Dr where I pulled up behind him and got photo of license plate. Didn't confront motorist because I was (and still am) shaken and needed to get back to work without dying on the street in front of it. Left message for Sgt Wayne, Vancouver Traffic Division, 360 487 7485 with details. |

In Indian tradition, discarded cloth is often sewn together to create something new. It's believed that the resulting quilts will help protect those who use them. Filling Spaces honors this custom by gathering together talented female artisans to transform vintage saris into one-of-a-kind quilts. This Vintage Sari Throw is a quilted layering of multiple saris, delicately worn and colored. The throw's homespun quality and printed design make it a stunning accent piece for rustic or modern décor.
Each throw is comprised of two to five layers of saris. Its size can range from 50-55" x 70-80". To make a throw, each woman carefully selects her thread color and will often add decorative patches to the blankets. Dry clean only. Made in India.

The university's Stritch School of Medicine not only intends to waive legal residency as an admissions requirement for applicants but aims to offer a financing plan through a state agency
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagobusiness.com ...
So as Docs get pushed out by ObamaCARE, they
will be replaced by undocumented illegals,
al Qaeda, and the 20000 DHS-released felons.
When they graduate do they get license documents? Aren't they in part falsified?
And what jobs do they plan to get? I hear that illegal aliens only want the jobs no one else wants. Not doctor professional jobs.
Sadly, these days there ain't a whole lot of surprises left.
It's so patients can be treated by people who "look like them." Part of O-care.
Undocumented Students? Oh you must mean ones that forgot their paperwork an ID, well that's fair, they can always show it later...I'm sure you don't really mean ILLEGAL ALIENS....
Don't knock it.
Once Obamacare kicks-in you're gonna be glad that you're able to drive to the Home Depot parking lot and hire a doctor who will work for cash.
How long before "Native Born" are turned into the illegals? Any politician that supports giving public funds to these people should be run out of the country on a rail.
Will they be teaching in Spanish also?
If not, isn't that racist?
are they going to charge them tuition? if they do it's RACIST!!!
Will the first open boards nation of the world please stand up.
They teach in Latin there don't they?
That would be one way to get rid of all the politicians.
This is going to become common as taxpayer supported entities change to say a collective F...U to taxpaying US citizens, further devaluing our citizenship and country. Foreign criminals will simply force taxpayers to pay for them too.
NOT ILLEGAL ALIENS-————rubio voters.
Wonder if affirmative action allows these DREAM act babies to not be forced to take classes like organic chemistry ?
rktman: "Sadly, these days there aint a whole lot of surprises left."
Nearly a day doesn't go by that some new outrage doesn't come out, but every time I think I've heard it all, they come out with something new. What the hell is wrong with people these days? It seems like half the people I know are in shock at how far and fast we're falling apart. The other half are riding the "good times" for as long as they can, taking the government for all it's worth while they can. The latter half includes everything from illegal aliens who are engaged in identity fraud, to the hordes of single moms sucking up free stuff, to state government employees making six-figure salaries and luxurious pensions for doing essentially nothing. As bad as it is, I think we still have more surprises ahead of us as this once-great nation spirals down.
Your post says it all. Every day I wake up and there is a new battle to be fought.
I gotta tell you, I've been pretty demoralized by it all lately. When I meet extended family members at a reunion and they tell me about all the benefits they're getting (with no intention of ever getting married 'cause they'd lose their lucrative checks), or I hear "friends" brag about how they've defrauded their insurance companies by padding their claims. I'm like, "Why even bother trying to live right?" Working hard, saving, trying to be self reliant? Why bother? The takers outnumber us, and they're getting away with it!!!
At least I know I'm not alone. Believe me. A lot of other Americans are asking themselves the same sorts of questions. The productive folks must be getting tired of all the monkeys riding Uncle Sam's back. Right? Regardless, I'll try to do right because it IS right.
There is no will, none whatsoever, in Illinois to fix the system. Illinois is a lost cause. The inmates are running the asylum and getting paid like kings for doing so.
I'm with you. Why pay the taxes I owe for last year? Those in Washington are rewarding Illegals whom are participating in tax fraud, id fraud, selective service law, ignoring the sovereignty of this Country. I've had it.
Couple decades. But it won't be all the native born. Think "people of pallor" and you'll know who is targeted.
Dear Lord, please share Your strength, and guide our course.

The US is going down and the Amnesty bill they are trying to sneak through congress will make things believe it or not 100000 times worse.
Time to go Galt
You will take this pill OR I KILL YOU!
I once thought being an American meant something. Now our leaders want to give away citizenship to people who have thumbed their noses at us. Not only that, our leaders themselves thumb their noses at us! They don't even realize how incredibly offensive it is to hear them speak Spanish in the US Senate or have have it filled with illegal aliens cheering Sí, se puede!!!
Well, given the quislings in US government today, apparently the illegal aliens can come here, break our laws, spit in our faces, and get away with it. Yes, they can!
"Dr. Bombay... call the operator... Dr. Bombay....."
All right... I am already understanding the medical process... time to change expiration dates on the injectables" (same as we did in raju's store in Delhi")
So, when one of their "students" runs amok and slaughters
the others, will they say, " it's not our fault".
You mean undocumented, uneducated Third World witch doctors eventually performing brain surgery on America's means WON'T be #1 in health care any more?
But...Isn't that THE Plan by the minions of the New World Order? De-Population?
your screen name is so appropriate for the times.
Thank God, He's merciful and strong. I need His strength. I know the Bible predicts it all comes apart, including the USA, in the end. I wish I couldn't care, but I remember what America once was and it pains me to see it destroyed. Hard work, self reliance, liberty, individual morality, respect for each other. Those are the American ideals that made America so great, and we can't maintain them if we import millions upon millions who don't share those same values.
It's sickening. Sickening for the future of the Country. Sickening for my children, your children, what they are inheriting is the result of TREASON.
This is old news. Back when our kids were heading off to college, I found every college had a wink-wink section regarding illegals. Pre-med departments preferred illegals because they are bilingual so were better candiates for internships in inner cities and along the border. Sure, take the limited slots from US citizens. Never mind that closing the borders and deporting would eliminate the vast majority of the problem.
Can illegal aliens qualify to practice medicine? How do you get a medical license if you're in the country illegally?
Nods... it is funny to think back, remembering when I first was told about FR; way back in the time of hanging chads, small smile.
My mother, who was always she of the, "there is never anything new under the sun, and we have survived worse", crew, was SO taken aback. She said people were behaving as if we were some kind of a third world nation, (has to smile to think of it). And with her being a Navy wife for all of her adult life; who had loved living and meeting folks from all over the world; I knew this was something she knew more than a little about ;)
I never imagined that it would get so much worse, and so rapidly... especially after 9-11. I was SURE that the American people would recognize the wake up call, and that we would right the ship...
May God keep watch, FRiend.
""I know the Bible predicts it all comes apart, including the USA, in the end. I wish I couldnt care, but I remember what America once was and it pains me to see it destroyed.""
I am with you FRiend.
My view of America, the ideal; is the Founder's attempt to form a nation that could exist BECAUSE of the challenge of God's gift to us; of our free will.
And as someone who has always believed, but was never one to think I needed to voice it, I feel a great burden that it should pass in our time.
Thank You Lord, for your patience and guidance, and know, that I will be silent no more.
May God bless and keep you my FRiend.
Mothers are always right. :)
That has been the plan all along....
Can't you see illegal aliens rushing into America so that they can go to the front of the line for college admission, welfare, food stamps, medicaid etc. etc. Because they are *people of color* they will be given affirmative action and our sons and daughters will fall back to the end of the line.

Testing Information:
Indiana is transitioning away from Praxis I to a new basic skills assessment—called CASA—during the summer of 2013. Passage of the basic skills assessment (math, reading and writing) is required for candidates seeking admission to Indiana teacher preparation programs. Registration may be completed now at www.in.nesinc.com , but CASA test administration will not begin until July 1. During July and August, candidates may choose to take either the Praxis I basic skills tests or the CASA tests, but Praxis I will no longer be available after August 31, 2013. Candidates who do not pass all three sections of Praxis I by August 31 need register only for the portion of the CASA they still need to pass.There is a free CASA study guide available on the website (under preparation materials). Click here for the website.Fee-based practice tests will be available by June 1 for individual subtests or a practice test for all 3 subtests combined.
Important Change Effective July 1, 2013
The following requirement does not apply to substitute teacher permit applicants or educational interpreter applications.
Effective July 1, 2013, the department may not issue an initial teaching license (includes instructional, student services and administrative licenses) at any grade level to an applicant for an initial teaching license unless the applicant shows evidence that the applicant has successfully completed education and training on the prevention of child suicide and the recognition of signs that a student may be considering suicide. This requirement does not apply to a completed license application submitted and paid for in the LVIS online application system prior to July 1, 2013 even though the license may not be processed by licensing advisors or OELD staff until July 1, 2013 or after.

Vehicles manufactured by Porsche demonstrate that even high-performance sports cars can achieve moderate fuel consumption and exhaust emission values in their respective category.
This is achieved, on the one hand, through the use of fuel-efficient technologies such as auto start/stop, thermal management, electrical system recuperation, direct fuel injection, VarioCam Plus and, in conjunction with optional PDK, coasting mode.
On the other hand, catalytic converters developed for the 911 provide efficient emission control.
The stereo Lambda control circuitry controls and monitors each cylinder bank separately. For each exhaust tract, oxygen sensors regulate the composition of the exhaust gas, while another Lambda sensor on each cylinder bank monitors pollutant conversion in the respective catalytic converter.

Britain doesn't need the EU, the EU needs Britain in order to funnel money to weaker nations and avoid war.
Britain has run its own affairs (relatively successfully I might add) for a thousand years. To all our continental cousins saying that leaving the EU would spell disaster for the UK I would say this-
We have a way of muddling through these things. Our little island has been through 2 world wars, the building and collapse of an empire, plague, general strike, revolution and economic collapse all as the same free and independent nation you see before you today. Whilst we are far from perfect, we always come through these things and 'Keep buggering on' as a certain famous Brit would say.
Do I want to leave the EU? Not particularly. But if we did, do I think it would spell the end of us?
It can be said about every European nation. It is just emotions. No more.
Well no. You had to be rescued by outsiders.
Yeh no you're right. Infact I think the EU was founded as a reward to continental European states for handling their own affairs so successfully. Especially during the first half of the 20th century ......
Like all politicians Cameron was trying to please everybody. Only this time it backfired. He has managed instead to annoy both his own party and the opposition, not to mention the Europeans who are furious.
Seen realistically, however, nothing whatever was accomplished by this exercise in futility, for the hypothetical referendum would only come if he were re-elected which appears highly unlikely.
"Westminster struggles to understand the vast political project creaking into life across the English Channel". Crikey. And here's me thinking that the creaking was coming from its death throes, not from its birth pangs..
I have to say sir if you think the EU and the Euro are in their death throes you have precious little grasp of either economic or geopolitical reality.
A "reckless gamble"?Better to gamble than to die.
You regularly play Russian Roulette (with five bullets in the chamber?)
"Blackmail" is the right word for the UK politics threatening to leave Europe if it doesn't change the way the UK wants it, and then shamelessly using their public for the game they are playing, through a referendum. Competent Politics, is made to solve the matters, not "Yes/No" questions.
The UK has a long record for having worked against the progress of EU integration in more or less subtle ways in the last decades; this time the attempt to change things "our way or no way" is blatant and impolitely thrown in the face of everyone.
It would be highly ironic, but very well deserved, if all went on "as planned" and the UK voters would just vote their country out of Europe.
Everybody, including Mr. Cameron, his friends and his foes, surely know what a catastrophic damage it would bring to cut out Britain from the European market.
To be forced for a start to renegotiate all trade deals with one such big and close business partner (the EU), especially if they have just left that same partner by screaming and slamming hard the door.
Even the US know how bad it would be to lose a strong "insider" partner into the EU (Ireland could take advantage of that); and that they could not help keep the UK standing much more than they do now: because of the big cultural differences, the distance and so on.
Those "poor" financial speculators in the City, which Country would they direct their "honest" efforts to, without having such easy access to the foundations of the Euro Zone anymore, like they have now?
Would hordes of British youngsters still be welcome to come vandalize Spanish or Greek islands or enjoy impunity in the Red Light District of Amsterdam? Would mid-aged couples still be allowed to move to a cheap summer house with a view on some sunny shore close to their home country?
On a serious note, it is bad when people can't work together. It would be a great loss for Britain and to lose Britain from the EU. Starting with the cultural standpoint. Should we switch back again to French as mainstream European language, like in the 19th century? What would happen to economic liberalism in Europe?
A Europe without Britain might mean an integration progressing faster as it should have, but would give certain European players the dangerous chance to gain more power: something that has repeatedly caused wars and misery to everybody in the past centuries, including the UK.
Just thinking of France unilaterally launching military actions on foreign soil on their own, already; or Germany deciding that deadly economic austerity is the only cure for everybody and everything.
The Union was also meant to tame the extremes and has somewhat worked in doing that, albeit adding up too much bureaucracy.
This ridiculous UK-in/UK-out charade might go on and on like a soap opera until at least 2017 then. It will damage the Euro, it will damage and divide Europe (to the happiness of part of the British people and all populist extremists across the continent), but it will also damage and weaken the economy of Britain and the Pound Sterling on the run. With a bit of luck that may also sign a strong defeat for the Tories. All but the last thing to the democratic detriment of everyone. Way to go, people. Way to go.
Youv'e managed to tuch on every facile straw man argument out there.
'catastrophic damage it would bring to cut out Britain from the European market.'
the UK is the EU's biggest customer. No sane person would claim that the market access would end. Why is this not obvious?
'The UK has a long record for having worked against the progress of EU integration'
You mean like warning about Euro stability? Or immense corruption and waste in the CAP? Ignoring economic warnings of impending catastrophe is now 'working against progress'. Why do so many in the eurozone have no ability to see economic reality?
'Would hordes of British youngsters still be welcome to come vandalize Spanish or Greek islands'
Stop sneering.
'it will also damage and weaken the economy of Britain and the Pound Sterling on the run'
And yet, gilts are still seen as a safe haven from the eurozone sovereign crisis.
Blackmail can only be successfully accomplished if you hold strong cards. But Britain's position within the EU is marginal since she refused to join the currency union and contributes the smallest amount per capita of all 27 EU members.
Now consider it from the Brussels perspective: If they caved in to British wishes it would open the door to every member demanding special concessions. Since Cameron was no doubt aware of that fact, he obviously made his demand fully conscious that Brussels must decline -- solely to impress the British public.
Wrong. The fact is that it is easier for the UK to leave because we are not part of the EURO, we have a central bank, a currency and access to markets. So the only countries that can seriously think about asking for opt outs or special concessions are the non-euro members.
All the countries that are in the Euro can just be told tough no special considerations as they can not leave without massive disruptions to their citizens and catastrophic effects to their economies.
The question is
Can the national integrity of Britain survive if Britain leaves the EU or would it create a process were more people in northern Ireland would demand reunification with Ireland in order to enjoy the benefits of EU membership like free movement of labour.
Some of those of Irish origin might after all have a wish for having access to the Irish labour market.
'enjoy the benefits of EU membership like free movement of labour.'
If free movement of labour was not given to Britain, then millions of EU nationals would be forced out the country. It would be an astonishingly stupid thing for the EU to do.
Do try to do a tiny bit of thinking before posting, please.
Both Norway and Switzerland have secured access to EU's free movement of labour but I believe a high price were demanded of them
Well, a lot of those EU citizens working in Britain is specialised knowledge workers in Britains service industry and manufacturing industry. It would probably have brutal consequences for britains GDP and export if Britain expelled them.
The EU lacks legitimacy. Your scapegoating of Britain doesn't disguise that fact. Euroland is founded on a shotgun marriage not national solidarity that bureaucrats pretend. I see what Britain is doing being extremely healthy for democracy and pluralism in Europe.
Yes it would, for both sides. Which is why it would never happen - it is a lose lose. Free movement of people is here to stay, regardless of what happens to UK's EU membership.
So why would 'more people in northern Ireland would demand reunification with Ireland in order to enjoy the benefits of EU membership like free movement of labour'?
The favorite dream of Mr. Cameron
He imagine himself as a young soldier marching on a parade ground when he suddenly noticed that he was completely out of step with the rest of his platoon. He realizes that in fact it wasn't him who was out of step - it was everyone else.
Instead of marching with their left feet on the first beat of each bar of the music "Left, Left, Left-Right-Left" the entire platoon had their right feet first. And their right feet were the wrong feet.
So here was a dilemma for Mr. Cameron´s dream. Should he change feet and join everyone else, making him technically wrong but giving the comforting appearance of being right? Or should he stand his ground, and continue to be the only soldier getting it right even though he would appear to be the only one who was wrong?
Mr. Cameron made his decision: He stood his ground. For a few terrifying minutes he remained alone, out of step, the only man spoiling the neat parade...
In this moment, exactly when the dream was about to become a nightmare, something happens and a big smile suddenly appeared on Mr. Cameron sleeping face:
The men around him began to notice he was out of step, but also realized that Mr. Cameron had a point.
One by one they switched feet, until the whole platoon was finally united:
"Left, Left, Left-Right-Left."
Of course this is just Mr. Cameron´s favorite dream.
Everybody knows those things never happens in real life.
Yes, 'neat parade', thats exactly what the world thinks when they look at the Eurozone debacle or the monstrosity of corruption and bureaucracy that is the EU.
Reality not your thing, then?
Come on Jamesyar, you normally contribute thoughtful and balanced comments. This sounds as if the sun was well past the yardarm.
Moral of the story
The platoon was marching towards the cliff when Mr. Cameron decided that he would not follow the other sheep over the edge.
Amazing how Mr Cameron was the only one to see the cliff, don't you think?
Maybe because he was the only one not wearing rose colored glasses
Amazing how Mr Cameron was the only not wearing rose colored glasses, don't you think?
UK should take a careful look at and adopt a long time view of EU expansion plans - available on the web.
After a (supposed) Brexit, EU can reevaluate and turn East to 'rush' (5 years or so?) Turkey in - the Germans and the French can do it if needed.
Farther admissions down the road would make EU a quite strong (and insolent :) global economic power.
It is usually Britain there have pushed for the admission of Turkey to the EU on the principle:
If a large muslim country is admitted to the EU will the continental europeans most likely be less willing to continue political integration and instead wish for opposite direction there limits the EU to a free trade area without free movement of labour.
For a few years, free movement of labor can be limited for the new members. I think it was, to some extent, for the likes of Bulgaria and Romania.
Further EU laws on public education will reduce the influence of religion; just a wild guess that a couple decades would do the trick.
My theoretical point is that Turkey's admission could be correlated with or even conditioned by UK's exit - a dirty blow to UK, indeed.
I don't think the EU needs to use Britain, as an excuse to get rid of, so that they can neccesitate a turkish membership into the EU. The EU already has muslim majority countries inside it like Kosovo and Albania. What difference does it make in having another muslim country like Turkey come into the union?
I do not see Kosovo and Albania's small population able to impact present political and cultural EU trends - e.g.: secular law, freedom to criticize religion.
A large wave of Turkish Muslims, on the other hand, might be to much of a burden to bear in short term.
If your question was rather 'why Turkey's admission is conditioned by UK's exit,' the answer is that most likely Turkey will vote along with UK - due to UK support for Turkey admission in EU.
Anyways, my point was purely hypothetical, a matter of what cards might EU have at hand to counter Cameron's moves.
Albania and Kosovo are NOT EU member states (and in any event ethnic Albanians are scarcely religious people)
I'd bet money on the fact that within 20 years of any British withdrawal from the EU That we would have political refugees from the EUSSR turming up at our ports claiming asylum.
why wait for the referendum, why not immidiatelly
Boy. Did you butcher immediately!
How about running this idea up the flag pole and trying it out.
The UK should abandon democracy and fully embrace a federal europe without gaining the assent of its population.
That sounds like a nice Euro solution acceptable to the political elites in all European nations .
are you the local village idiot?
I know the emotions are running high with empires and little englander comments et al but lets look at the facts.
The EU is going for more integration and the absolute is that any member has to be a fully signed up member of the Euro currency. This is non negotiable by the EU.
Fact number 2 the UK is never ever in the next 10 years going to join the Euro.
Ergo, The UK can never ever be a full member of this new greater unity (fiscal and political) EU.
Ergo a renegotiation has to take place about how loose the UK membership of the EU is to become. A trade only out of the EU or a member of the EU with loads of opt outs.
The EU politicians can either be grown up about this and have a meaningful discussion which may well end in a decision by all that it is best for the UK to leave or we can have the current lot of political children making comments on "shut the door when you leave."
Technically are Denmark and as far as I remember also Britain having legal optouts for the requirement to join the Euro
Anyway, Britain has nothing to fear from a potential requirement to join the Euro if admission conditions were fulfilled:
Britain is very far from fulfilling the euro admission criteriums due to the poor health of the British economy.
We have everything to fear from joining the Euro it is called losing the ability to govern yourself.
We like the Queens head on the pound.
a grown-up discussion? About Britain in the EU?
Well, it's a praiseworthy aim, and I'm glad someone mentioned it as an aim. But I read quite enough of
-the british media, and
- conservativehome, and
-the not exactly aptly named eufreshstart.org, and
- not to leave labour out of it, some of the rubbish they come out with on the EU
to be pretty sure that this is not going to be possible. The EU is simply a very powerful political football in UK politics, about which emotions run enormously high.
Just to remind you: the House of Commons has voted for an EU Budget *reduction*, against Cameron's wishes.
In other words, Labour and a significant minority of the Conservatives wanted to deliberately torpedo any common negotiating position that Cameron might have quite easily found, with others.
And the conservative eurosceptics do this every time there's a big EU vote coming up.
Does that really sound like a good basis for a grown-up discussion, to you? It doesn't to me.
well, I very much doubt anyone would ask Britain to join the Euro
Basically, Britain is having way to much debt, way to high budget deficits and very bad current account deficits and having inflation adjusted growth there since the breakout of the finance crisis in 2008 has been below the inflation adjusted growth of the eurozone.
The Eurozone already have a few week members like Greece
The Eurozone does not need to include another relative weak economy (Britain)
Seen the UK employment figures this morning? Record employment levels in the Private wealth creating sector, big reduction in public sector jobs. Wage growth zero because the cream of europes youth that have been left on the scrapheap in thier own countries because of the disaster that is the Euro currency monetary policy and useless political structure that can not solve the problems.
I was having a pizza out last night the two waitresses serving one from Corsica the other from Spain the barperson Portuguses all university graduates having to come to cold snowy eurosceptic UK to get a job, earn some money , have some pride and loving it here.
That is the true story the UK economy is the second largest in the Eurozone but more importantly it is creating jobs. I will repeat it is creating jobs something the Eurozone is desparate for.
I read the bbc news earlier today that the british revenues from income taxes had been a huge disappointent and that means that public debt in Britain are expanding faster than hoped for with increased risk that britain will soon get a credit rating downgrade.
The tax revenues are correct. The last government put up the tax to 50% from 40% and there has been a big drop of in top rate payers paying tax.
God help France with 75%.
Also to get people back into work the amount of money they can earn has been raised substantially before they start paying any tax (this also effects people that were in work before as well but gives them more money to spend). In the medium term this will pay off as people in work are happier, cost the state less and start to spend there money.
Short term pain for medium term gain.
what is the EU doing to get people working again?
If you ever bother to check actual stats before indulging in your facile sneering, the markets are willing to finance the UK far cheaper than any Eurozone country apart from Germany.
In the real world (e.g outside the eurozone delusion bubble) the UK would be welcomed. Not that it would ever go near such an epic economic disaster.
'In other words, Labour and a significant minority of the Conservatives wanted to deliberately torpedo any common negotiating position that Cameron might have quite easily found, with others.'
Or perhaps they wanted to reduce the grotesque waste that has remained unchecked in the EU budget for generations?
Funny thing for a democratically elected house to do, I know. Rather like having a vote on the EU - but the EU has an even more impressive record of happily ignoring 'No' votes, from France, Ireland, and others, haven't they?
God forbid that the European Commission technocrats that run the EU might actually be forced to pay attention to the will of the people (ignoring that farcical rubber stamp, the European Parliament)
It is your central bank and not the financial markets there is buying a lot of the newly issued government bonds by using newly issued money
No it is not. At most one third is currently financed by the BoE. The auctions remain strongly supported, and any insinuation of a sterling sovereign credit crunch would get you laughed at.
Stop making this crap up, it is embarrassing and stops useful debate.
The King of Spain's head is on Euro coins.
I tend to agree with you. Rather build a small EU where all use the Euro, rest stay out an do their own thing
And Greece fulfilled the criteria for joining the Euro?
Farewell Britain! If you become humble enough, the US might accept you as 51st state. But that will be the best case scenario. No other country has had a comparable decline: from ruling half of the world to a pityful province with some banks inside. A bigger Luxemburg with hinterland, but that would insult Luxemburg. So let's say: a bigger Monte Carlo, with a big casino called "the city" and with desindustialized waste land. Britain has never belonged to Europe. In Europe there is no place anymore for grocers.
Why has de-industrialised Britain become Germany's largest trading partner in Europe over the past 10 years over taking France which has seem its trade with Germany decline?
Also I find it strange that someone whos login is longlivefrance wants a federal Europe because that would mean nomorefrance.
"a federal Europe because that would mean nomorefrance"
Like there is no more Wales or Brittany?
Why the lies?
Imports to Germany:
- France, 3rd (7.6% of total)
- Britain, 5th (4.7% of total)
Exports from Germany:
- France, 1st (9.4% of total)
- UK, 4th (6.2% of total)
Please get your facts right. It will prevent you from writing non-sense. Appreciated.
First, I do not know how you got your figures, but France stays the most important partner of Germany. Second, most of Britain's products have become offers for gambling in the city. Very productive. France still has industry and Britains upper class would have to go to rehab giving up French wine which they consume excessivly.Remember, all initiatives for Europe came from France: Schuman, Monnet, later Giscard who had the idea for a monetary union. The EU is a french product spoilt by the British as so many things. "Tea is an excellent drink before the British spoilt it" (George Mikes, How to be a Brit)
'France still has industry'
Oh dear, this again. UK's industrial output is higher than France's.
There's something wrong with your list. Britain is definitely Germany's biggest market according to the latest Bundesbank information:
Yes, "oh dear", in your figures oil industry is summed up. Without oil however there is -and I say that with a lot of sadness- little produced in England. There is no hold for the british decline as oil will run out.
Münchau in Der Spiegel on the speech.
"Reisende soll man nicht aufhalten"
Which is equates to the english idiom "don't bang the door on your way out"
While not familiar with the details, I already feel suspicious towards any changes demanded by Britain. I looks that they are not after fixing the workings of the EU, however tough that may be, but rather securing exceptions for themselves, so that they may reap the benefits of belonging to the united Europe, while shedding any burden that may be associated with it.
Germany has given way "Angela Merkel: we will seek compromise with Britain on EU:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/9820703/Angela-Merkel-we-will-seek-compromise-with-Britain-on-EU.html
Renegotiation is on the cards, as is what it will take to keep the UK in the EU. The ball has landed in Cameron's lap, now all he has to do is run with it.
well, hope springs eternal in the british breast, I suppose.
Merkel always says soothing things about the UK being a valued member of the EU. You should pay attention to *when* she says them, I think. It's when everybody else is absolutely furious with the UK. She's calming people down, is all.
Well, to be more precise: Merkel also said straught after that the first priority is to agree on the Eu's financial perspectives and budget, and that any discussion on UK wishes should come after.
To me, this sentence from Merkel just seems like an evident tactic to get a compromise from the UK on the budget before any discussion on anything else ;)
I have the impression that emmafinney and others with a similar line of thinking is getting the wrong end of the stick about all the non-brits that are commenting on this article.
My view is I would be very sad to see UK leave EU. I consider UK a friend and a valuable asset to keep in EU and I would hate to see it go. But what emmafinney apparently does not understand it: I - and I believe most EU citizens - are NOT AFRAID of UK leaving EU. I have no intention of trying to persuade UK to remain against the will of its people (not that I credit myself with influence anyway).
I believe the key message from most of us is like it would be to a long time dear neighbour who wants to sell up and leave because he thinks the neighbourhood has deteriorated:
Please stay and help improve it but if you really are determined to leave then by all means do so.
An excellent summary, I for one feel well described by your brief.
'most EU citizens - are NOT AFRAID of UK leaving EU'
Why does fear often get mentioned (along with Empire, bizarrely) by the pro-EU crowd?
Question - is membership of the EEA rather than the EU 'selling up and leaving'? If so, why do Norway and Switzerland not get the same animosity for not 'helping improve the neighbourhood'?
Norway makes a bigger fiscal contribution per inhabitant compared to Britain
and does not have a seat in the Council...so is basically imposed all single market legislation without having its say.
But they do exactly increasingly get to feel that animosity; Switzerland is often referred to as "Cherry Picker" or something similar in Brussels or Berlin or Paris. And Switzerland often feels the not-so-friendly pinch when discussing bilateral policies with EU or their Swiss neighbours. Lately Brussels had even stated that the Bilateral strategy has been exhausted.
Absolutely right, Ole.
The autistic American Taliban you referred to never made any sense.
dont't worry. emmafinney is t h e t r o l l in a class of its own. and a nutcake of sorts (sorry, madam).
We must keep Free Scotland within Europe!!!
Prof.Rogelio E. Asteggiano Scotto
One suspects that Cameron in 2010 wanted to kick the EU question into the long grass until after 2015 unfortunately and not of his own making, the Euro Crisis rather than UKIP, has made this impossible so he has had to tackle the issue head on.
He though is being realistic because for all the "EU waffle" about the difference between the British and European views of what the EU should or should not be, hard facts dictate that due to the incompetence of the leaders of the eurozone, the EU is headed for radical change like it or not which will almost certainly lead to a major new EU Treaty.
If the Germans had led the "Northerns" off into a new D-Mark zone three years ago, accepted the then compared to today, minor losses to their banks, France could have led the eurozone, that currency would have devalued and by now, the eurozone would be on the way to recovery. At some future moment in time, a decade or so, one could well have seen the two currencies re-unite as equals but NO, that didn't happen.
We are where we are and even if the UK wasn't in the EU, there would still be a massive renegotiation of the EU Treaty to form a Federal EU with a banking and transfer union and I for one, seriously doubt that will ever happen. The fate of the EU as it was will not be decided in Berlin, Paris or Brussels, it will be decided on the streets, the "let the Greeks eat cake" policy really won't do, the tumbrils must surely roll.
The Economist represents a view of money and business not shared by the public at large and whether you are pro or anti the EU, the reality is that for ordinary citizens of the EU in whatever country, the EU is far too remote and nobody whether French, German, British etc is prepared for the EU to override their duly elected national government.
Cameron said one thing today which actually underlines the essential problem with the EU and the European Parliament, "There is no European Demos..." Without that, "Ever Closer Union" can never happen. People who live in South East England neither think about nor resent that taxes and wealth created there are used to ensure other parts of the UK are not left behind, in Germany, Bavaria resents funding other poorer German States, what chance them agreeing to fund Greece ?
Cameron is actually doing more for providing effective EU leadership than Merkel with her eyes on September's elections or Hollande with his eye ...on something else, Mali perhaps ? If the EU is to survive the Euro, it will need to reform and evolve and demonstrate to all EU citizens that it adds value to their lives. A serious conversation about change needs to start now even though it will take 4/5 years or even more to evolve, this is not just a British problem, it is EU wide.
Fascinating: why is it that the default answer for Brits is always the same: devaluate!
When I was a child, I remember an exchange rate of £1 to CHF 8. It is now £1 to CHF 1.50.
I note that the BofE is again hinting that sterling is over-valued, despite a 30% devaluation just a few years ago. ('sterling' no longer deserves to be written with a capital letter if it ever did).
I believe that devaluations will work less well in this globalised economy.
when a country devaluate are there a reduction in the international cost for the wages and components manufactured in a country but
Supply chains are very global.
Goods manufactured in a country usually contains lots of imported components, that is
even though wages and locally manufactured components falls in value will other parts of the final product increase in price, that is,
you do not get as much competitiveness increase as you did in the past when you performed devaluations
I am not sure that devaluation is the "default answer for the Brits..." but it is the logical consequence of a lack of political leadership and an infantile electorate not prepared to face economic reality and limit their expectations of what the State should provide.
For far too long in the West, via social security spending mainly, we have been 'paying ourselves too much', the consequence inevitably is to reduce the value of the currency. Even the USA has been doing this for years except prior to President Obama, it was via trade union employee packages or the Civil Courts rather than socialist policies.
I am sure Germany considered leaving the Euro but feared that the obvious revaluation of their currency might damage their crucial export markets. Devaluation and revaluation are obvious automatic regulators, a sort of financial thermostat. It would be far better if money and assets were rock steady but they are not and actually, never have been and it is foolish to pretend otherwise.
What you have written is perfectly correct if one is thinking about manufacturing, not quite the same when an economy has a larger service sector. Also, devaluation generally has a very short lived benefit because after a time wages will inflate thus eroding any benefit. At best it can provide a temporary breathing space.
I must confess that I was never a fan of the Euro, it seemed a ludicrous currency even from the outset because there was no way that Germany could sit in the same currency as Greece and without the possibility of adjusting the relative value between German and Greek output...bad news for both.
I believe that the bigger manufacturing sector compared to service sector the easier it will be for a country in or near Europe to survive outside the EU
It is a lot easier to sell manufactured goods over long distances compared to sell services over long distances
Service sales will also require more ratification of EU treaties compared to goods sale
Seems to me that it is better for Britain to perform tough internal reforms to regain competitiveness for it's manufacturing sector compared to try to devaluate for better competitiveness for it's service sector
That is, if Britain wants to leave the EU and not being dependent upon having to negotiate access to EU directives for free movement of labour, movement of capitol and all associated finance regulations and so forth.
Why is the Euro so ludicrous? Don't forget that Mississipi shares a currency with New York and California. Furthermore, the Spanish, Greeks etc. are choosing increadibly painful reastructuring rather than leaving.
We forget that the Euro is a baby, born in 1999. The Greenback also had a few problems in its youth as I recall, didn't the US have a couple of crises in the 1870s and 80s?
"Devaluation and revaluation are obvious automatic regulators, a sort of financial thermostat."
They are... but I cannot find that many cases of 'revaluation' for the Sterling, USD.
You are comparing apples and oranges, they aren't the same thing. You are correct that the Americans had trouble in establishing both their currency and even their Constitution, the one they have was the second 'go' and that too hinged around money and the funding of a Federal Government.
The Euro is ludicrous not just because it was badly constructed in the first place and everybody 'cheated', you need both a banking union and a transfer union before you even try to start a currency as is now all too obvious. But the other key value totally missing from the EU, is a unifying idea or ideal to bind people together, for the Americans it was that they were rebelling against the Imperial power Britain with it's German King. It also helped that originally one language and culture dominated the creation of the USA and built upon British precedents, helped them form a firm legal foundation which has evolved ever since.
Without these essential 'glues' to bind a project together, it will always fail. If you look towards the history of the USA and how it evolved especially with its multi-national waves of European immigration you might be tempted to feel that the EU could do the same... Unfortunately closer examination will reveal just why it would be highly unlikely to happen as well.
Nor will you, the only two currencies that should be revalued would be the Chinese and if it were independent still, the German. I will leave you to join the dots up, think exports...
Obviously you make good (sound) points but I think one needs to put this into perspective and I would suggest that the consumer, high volume business model may well perish over the next decade. Whilst the production of some things with high investment/tooling/skill values, such as machine tools, aircraft manufacture even shipbuilding will tend to be location based, we might well see a move towards more local manufacture and assembly of many consumer products.
David Cameron today was speaking to his domestic audience but it has been my opinion for some time now that Britain's relationship with the EU will not be decided in a British Referendum, it will be decided by what happens and HOW it happens on the ground in solving the Euro Crisis which might easily drag on for another 5 years.
I believe the global economy would have moved on quite a bit by then and the EU as a market for the UK, may well have diminished to some degree as British business repositions itself to more non EU Trade. I have no crystal ball to predict what will happen but I can say that if you want the world to be less hungry and free from war, spreading employment by 'local assembly' might well be the way forward. Therefore the trade and business model may well be very different too.
British politicians forget that british politicians can not speak to their domestic audience with a different message compared to what they say to their allies and trade partners
1) Many people in outside Britain speaks english as a first or second language
2) Many people have internet access and
Many people from all over the world read british newspapers or magazines due to point 1 and 2.
I think there is a misunderstanding here of both language and concept. Of course via the internet, what any person says in public, assuming they have some public importance or "celebrity status" will be reported across the globe, pretty instantly.
But politicians always, always speak to different audiences in different ways. Has Merkel ever explained to the German electorate just how deep they are in as taxpayers because of all the fumbling and mishandling of the Euro Crisis ? Of course not. To her EU partners she says; "My people will not accept this... To her electorate she says; "I will not accept this..." Gustav, they call it 'being a politician'.
I congratulate the author on providing a new sort of explanation of the UK v rest of EU divide: a mutual lack of comprehension based on different domestic political party systems (leading to single party government in the UK v. multi-party in the rest of the EU). Unfortunately, such deep institutional differences make the gap seem insurmountable which is probably a tad too pessimistic.
Fortunately, a multi-speed Europe has already emerged. In the outer tier we have Norway and Switzerland (the EEA), which for all intents and purposes have surrendered influence in order to opt out of some EU rules that they find particularly objectionable. Within EU, Denmark was able to exempt itself from certain parts of the Maastricht Treaty. Several countries have been able to gain 'rebates' on dues to the Union. As another posting mentioned, Germany and France have also played fast and loose with various EU rules. Finally, the most visible indicators of the existence of a multi-speed EU is the Euro Zone. This means that there are actually grades of EU membership, and the key variable is influence: you give up influence on continent-wide decisions to gain options for opting-out. No doubt, this is the trade that UK politicians are considering, and it is certainly a trade that the UK public should weigh carefully if they ever have their referendum.
Seems to me, that Denmark is the only EU country there succesfully have managed to renegotiate it's EU membership and Denmark has actually done so twice
First time was when the Danish territory of Greenland left the EU while the rest of Denmark stayed inside the EU
(Greenlands economy is dependent upon fishing and subsidaries from Denmark)
Second time was when Denmark after the no to the maastricht treaty negotiated some opt-outs there was ratified in the Edinburgh treaty.
It is worth pointing out, that Denmark on a number of strategy points followed the exact opposite strategy when renegotiating compared to the strategy Cameron is following
well, technically did margaret thatcher succesfully renegotiate Britain's EU membership when she obtained the rebate but that also means that Britain most likely has already reached the limit of what it can achieve in renegotiations.
Keeping britain inside the EU at that point in time was after all more important for the rest of Europe compared to today since that renegotiation was during the cold war were it was important to have a strong unified Europe to guard against the eastern threat.
You are wrong on at least one point: Britain may not understand what is happening in 'Europe' but Europe understands Britain perfectly well.
Great news. European leaders should be ready. Let the issue gain momentum and when the time is right, cut the cords and get rid of England. No halfway solutions, in or out. We can no longer afford this showstopper in the club to hinder integration and at the same time reap the benefits of a common market.
Who is this "we"? You are Argentinian and Argentina are about to get kicked out of G20 and the IMF. Rather focus on your own issues than obsessing about Britain.
I agree. Im getting sick and tired of the Brits and their anti-Europe propaganda machine. Lies, vitrol and made up facts. Close the door when you leave please. I'm going to enjoy watching the city crumble as all financial firms relocate to frankfurt.
Oh and Scotland you can join us, but leave the pompeous English 'we are so special because we are an island nation' at the door.
'I'm going to enjoy watching the city crumble as all financial firms relocate to frankfurt'
Your petulant sneering aside, even Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank do their Euro funding from their (enormous) London offices. The idea that banks will relocate to Frankfurt is borne of astonishing ignorance of modern finance.
Yes WEEEEEE, perhaps you never heard of something called double citizenship. So yes these are also MY issues and I am pretty focus. So get lost from OUR Europe if you do not like it. I wish you good luck in getting the full consensus you need to kick Argentina out from G20, specially convincing Brazil. As for the IMF not so sure how it works but I would love to see my other country out from that useless organisation.
There are EU directives requiring a representation inside the EU or a country having ratified the EU finance directives if you want to perform financial services within the EU
Banks has to comply with all kinds of regulations from EU if they want to trade and
Basically, it is EU directives defining what country's taxpayers there are to finance bailout and deposit guarantee schemes in case of bank failures and what countries there have the right to regulate and deny operating licenses and regulations defining what information it is legal for financial companies to move outside EU
Without Britain having signed the necessary EU directives would financial companies most likely be forced to relocate significant activities to continental Europe if they wanted to sell financial services within the EU
'Without Britain having signed the necessary EU directives would financial companies most likely be forced to relocate significant activities to continental Europe if they wanted to sell financial services within the EU'
Just because a trader is in London does not mean he cannot trade on behalf of Frankfurt. This happens all the time already with legal entities. Physical location of office is completely irrelevant to legal location, and has been for decades. There are no plans to change this.
