How do we reconcile the claim Europe will decrease cross border crime, with the fact that borders have ceased to exist?

@HullabalooSpatula It's a directors acount.

A student of Jean Monet for sure. A professor waxing lyrical about a supranational federal europe that make all our laws and puts into force the vaunted ideals of an intellectual elite and industrial and banking oligarchs. Her views are so deeply entrenched that she can't see past her scorn for all those who disagree with her enlightened view. We already voted NO. A yes vote is a vote against real democracy.

Believing a student of Monet is the same as trusting Brown, Merkle. Barrossa etc.

Just thought I'd ask, all perfectly legal and above board I'm sure... but why is this video allowed to be over 51 minutes long when YouTube rules for everyone else allow only short videos of about 10 minutes?

Sort of a rhetorical question though, I don't really care that much.
