This makes me wonder. Today it's 80 years since 1 September 1939 when the first bombs fell on the Polish city of Wieluń and became the starting point for a long bloody war. |

This makes me wonder.Considering that the Soviets invaded Poland as well but on 17th September 1939, I don't blame him for not inviting Putin. |

Yes. These two men on August 23, 1939 had a deal. So why was Frank-Walter Steinmeier invited to the memorial ceremony? |

Yes. These two men on August 23, 1939 had a deal.Because EU members cannot stop kissing each others butts. :-) |

Maybe this could explain the Poland/Germany relationship. |

Maybe this could explain the Poland/Germany relationship. Looks like a net deficit to me. Either they stored away a pile of euros for a rainy day or they are minting euros like gridcoins. |

Maybe this could explain the Poland/Germany relationship. Since the gross national incomes are not stated how do you draw that conclusion? |

I assume they normalized it as would be done in any legit study. Clearly, I was mistaken. |

The chart does show the small and less affluent countries get a bump in their incomes and the larger more affluent contribute a small portion of their incomes to create that subsidy. |

I don't think you understand how the EU budget works. But then who does:) Simply put though. Richer countries pay more and poorer ones less and there is no deficit since all the EU member states share the same budget. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-48256318 Each country pays the same proportion of its national income to the EU budget, so richer countries pay more and poorer ones less. Some countries, such as the UK, pay less because they receive a rebate. |

Food would be very much expensive in the west/north if we didn't. That is not the way I would put it. Re-phrasing: The intent of the chart, IMHO, it to make it seem like the east European nations are SUCKING THE LIFE BLOOD out of the west European nations. In reality, nothing like that is happening, it just looks like it. |

In reality, nothing like that is happening, it just looks like it.But why do say that European Commision has an intent? European Commision It consists of one citizen of the Union from each Member State, also known as 'Commissioners'. [2] The functions and powers of the Commission can, in simplified terms, be similar to those that a government typically has in a state. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/commissioners/2014-2019_en |

The Conservative MP for Lewes, Maria Caulfield, also tweeted: "Very disturbed to see the school turning away girls from Priory school because they choose to wear a skirt and calling the police on them.Did those teachers get their degrees out of a cornflakes box? IMHO, the people at fault here is the police. The school should have been charged with wasting police time! |
