Don't you mean: Europe also allows the free movement of people but not the free movement of policemen, so gypsies can now easily steal all your sh*t and get away with it.

It is not the fact that they can live and work anywhere which annoys him, it is the European themselves.

... which I still don't understand. There are many things to dislike about the English ( the Queen folklore, the excessive liberalism, that arrogant insular mentality, that nostalgia about the British Empire, that obsolete system of measurement, that insisting on driving on the wrong side of the road, aso...), but I don't see why he would have a grunge against us. Maybe the frog legs ?

Hey, still one of the best bands ever!

Sure invented by the French "Liberté!"

This from a Frenchman!
Rage wrote: nostalgia about the British Empire
A classic case of jealousy! Our empire still exists, the world speaks English and plays the British sports.
Football, Rugby, Golf, Cricket, Tennis, Baseball, Athletics, Badminton, Snooker, Darts, Squash, Whiff-Whaff, Netball, Bowls, Curling.
Rage wrote: obsolete system of measurement
Based upon real measures that are far easier to divide into then the metric system invented by unemployed Parisian Coiffures.
Rage wrote: driving on the wrong side of the road
Driving on the Correct Side of the road you mean. When crashing a driver instinctively pulls to the left.
In the UK this means pulling off the road. In the odd countries that drive on the wrong side of the road this means ploughing into the oncoming traffic.

Sounds interesting. Googling didn't help. Do you have a link?

One still has to pay taxes when importing a car. That's "free" as in no additional costs.
If you're talking about "free" as in "no limitation", then I'd like to point out that some products that are legal in Amsterdam would be considered illegal outside of the Netherlands.

Is is the free movement of labor, annoying DD, or both that are good things?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

problem is, even if you speak mandarin, and Chinese government grant you passport + free tickets to/from China/home every few months - still you won't go as you can't get paid like a decent human being - Asian firm's golden formula is still "Cheap Labor" (Guess the only exception there is Japan but they have been stuck in sh*t for most part last two decades)

What about in reverse scenario? UK govt calling Chinese people...Free trade means two way movement?

yes, two way movement.
developed countries <-- Cheap goods <-- China/India
developed countries --> Jobs --> China/India
But I don't think it concerns us - my open source friends tells me Open Source will win/dominate the world and eventually software will all be free and I will eventually become BBQ vendor beach some place sunny selling roast chicken and beer. Future is bright.

EG? That's me!
Searching Dante's Inferno for the words "Guelph" and "Ghibellin" turns up a 1:2 ratio, both found in Paradiso; I'd have to conclude that labor is only 33 percent part of any mentioning.
Adhere to the bon mot "What was true yesterday will likely be true tomorrow" and go about being industrious and everythiing'll be hunkydory.
