oh the lies folk were told


Let us not get onto the subject of "Lies"!, if you listened to the remoaners "The end was nigh".

The bottom line being is this; Do you or anyone for that matter, believe that the Nhs actually needs £350 million PER WEEK i.e. that is times 52 weeks of the year, every year, #-o #-o #-o. What you are listening to is political bitching - there is NOTHING that needs £350 mil per week to put right (save the economy/deficit). Anyone that thought that was the case, has been having numeracy lessons off of Diane Abbott.

This is not a swipe at you; To all those who are pontificating that nonsense - then they really need pulling up over it. I genuinely never for one minute thought, or believed, that our EU contribution/savings, was going to be spent on any (one) single project - how dull are these people saying that it was.

As grandad has pointed out on more than one occasion - we haven't actually left yet, at that point the remainers claims will be tested.

You are aware how much the pound has fallen in value against both the dollar and euro - its a small point but everything we buy from abroad is more expensive now - we haven't felt the effect yet in respect of oil, which is bought in dollars, but arguably we would have had more benefit if the pound had been stronger.

We are an Island who was self sufficient with oil and fuel,the Tories sold off all the oil and gas,closed the coal mines and we now have to import at much greater cost the materials to sustain our Islands.Many Tories lined their pockets along with their rich friends at the expense of these Islands inhabitants who will be paying this greater cost for evermore that is until Jeremy gets elected,which will not be long as people are not going to put up with a corrupt government who buys votes to stay in power.
Jeremy wants to investigate where her magic money tree is,she has found one but accused Jeremy of making it all up before the election and having an invisible money tree.

almost half our trade is directly with Europe - and a bit more of it is through trade deals we have with the rest of the world through our EU membership - the entire idea is a bad one.

If we leave and want to still trade with Europe, our products will still have to adhere to EU standards - in effect we will still be governed but without any input.

If we leave and the EU citizens depart, we will have nobody in the country to run the country, nurses, doctors, fish packers, factory workers, hotel workers.

Why don't we put this entire idea down to a bad idea, inept politicians on one side, and lying, racist politicians on the other..

It is a point that has not gone unnoticed.

My take on it for what it is worth, is that it shows how much Stock Markets control world economies/governments. On that one, the City is one possible immediate casualty of Brexit, as such it is in their interest to stir up as much adverse poop as they can, via financial manipulation. Talking of manipulation, the markets scare the pound down, strangely the stock market goes up :roll: ......now that is having your cake and eating it. Imo it is going to be a roller coaster ride (in or out) re the markets, as such not a lot will change (financially) for the man/woman in the street as one problem will be replaced by another, (we are not meant to win on that score). Hopefully the reward of being out of the EU, will be a better quality of life in the form of safety/security - along with the satisfaction of knowing that we do not belong to a corrupt organisation........we can watch it fail from a distance. As a point of interest - Italy is now propping a few of its Banks up, as their banking system is hitting the rails!

How many countries have to fail, before people realise that the EU is engineering financial failures deliberately in order to own said countries?

I have looked at the EU with an open mind, trying to see the benefits of a 40 year + membership and who apart from Germany is in surplus - the answer will fit on a babies fingernail.

The EU need over £40billion to plug a massive black hole. They haven't got that sort of money.

Exactly, just like the governor of the Bank of England telling us it would be an economic apocalypse to leave the EU. He's eating humble pie now ;

Speaking before the House of Commons’ Treasury Select Committee, the former Goldman Sachs veteran said that, as things currently stand, “financial stability risks around [the EU exit] process are greater on the Continent than they are in the U.K.”
“There is a tremendous financial services capacity in Britain and even though there will be shortfalls at the point of leaving [depending on the exit arrangement], these are more likely to affect Europe,” Carney said.

do you not think you've been lied to by successive governments and the out campaign?

for its many ills the EU is in my view our best option.

pay has been reduced in real terms since the world economic collapse that everyone is blaming labour for.

the EU will make this a good place to be, because trusting tories isn't a wise thing to do - the powers that be, keep themselves in splendour, I didn't notice too many rich folk complaining about the nearly 10 year austerity we've been subjected to.

IMO the EU threaten them, that's why they wanted us out.

And like the saps we are, we chose race hate and voted.
