they didn't say that did they? £350b is what we give gross, £200b net... and we can give that to NHS, vat, what ever we want. Obviously it will need to go to farmers and other investments. No one ever said the full 350 would go on the NHS.

we don't give 350 at all. why do people keep insiting on using this number.
and no we cant give it to whoever we want because it no longer exists.

You know what my main concern is.. and that it's been stated the PM "does not need to write the letter that invokes art. 50..
Or in other words, after a lot of paper shuffling and blowing smoke up everyones arse, we'll end up not leaving but instead signing a new " agreement/treaty" where the EU promises to reform (but it wont)

Pretty sure its bean clearly stated that Article 50 will be left to his predecessor to start in Oct when he stands down Between now and then informal talks, which to me makes sense, no need to start the 2 year time limit without having initial discussion at least.

At this stage I do not even think the EU want's us to be frank, there is no way back from this, bar in a decade or two going back to them, except this time without the perks we had before.

Do any Remain voters actually think there are some positives to leaving the EU? Surely you can't think it's all negative?

One positive would be people would no longer be able to blame immigrants for their pathetic lives.

The current government would like nothing more than to bend over and get bummed by foreign corporations. So long as they get their kickbacks/ cut.

Heck it pretty much guarantees them top positions when they quit their cushy govt jobs.

Our politics is such a sham. So predictably bent. And somehow - somehow - we're one of the least corrupt govts in the world?

I guess pandering to corporate interests doesn't make you corrupt.

They certainly could, but then at least you can punish them at the next election. Oh wait...unless both sides support it, damn ;)


Ashcroft I believe, could be wrong.

You might punish them at the next election, but they won't care as when they go, they will be elected to the boards of nice big shiny US companies with shed loads of lawyers waiting to pounce, and the US legal system is a proud one, it underpins their lifestyle and economy, ours is tacked in there somewhere with a vague memory of justice, their is fed purely upon money.

Government ends up in court against the US company, we will lose, taxpayer foots bill, politician on board gets a bonus.

Remember how much money Blair's wife made from suing her husbands government, coupled with getting struck off doctors returned to service on technicalities. Technicalities which were heard by the privy council of the house of lords, which at the time, and indeed might still be the highest court in the land. (was it superseded or replaced by the supreme court?)

So what do you think the turnout for 18-24 year olds was? It won't be made up - extrapolated certainly but not made up.
Click to expand...

extrapolated from what though ? a few poles online and the odd random question in the street ?

in 20 years of voting iv never been asked or know of anyone who's been asked hence i think a lot of these is either very specific to a few areas or made up on the back of a packet of cig's as a best guess.

as for my own guess i dont have one to be honest.

Forethought doesn't seem to evident in any aspect of implementing Brexit, nobody has a clue.

They never had a clue, tbh. I read Flexcit and Minford. That was it as far as the brains went. IES /TaxPayers' Alliance is probably a likely fount of policy ideas too, especially if BoJo gets pushed around by events, personal advisers and random conservative bloggers again. Nor can many of the ideas reconcile with the reality of as yet uncertain conditions of Brexit's negotiations and many differences of opinion on the best way to proceed.

That won't stop them, people will just use 'immigrant' and 'person that looks foreign' interchangeably.

Indeed, it took until today for me to be made aware of it, but in workplaces in the lovely all embracing hole of Norn Iron, people have already started to be asked as a matter of course, when they are 'going home'.
Positively encouraged on the matter.
Some were not EU citizens to start.
Some were British.

Nice.
