I voted for a candidate for the European parliament, I didn't vote for someone who was diametrically opposed to the EU but would happily accept their cash for himself and his family.
I'll look at whatever posts I choose to thank you. One of yours I particularly enjoyed was the shot of your google search on Brexit. Your bookmarks make for some fantastic reading. I can see how you might not have the time to reply to my posts ( despite the fact you do). And I'm the odd one! Priceless. Think it's best you wind your neck in from now on. Have a great weekend.

You may be correct about the standard of regulation, my point is though, that Brexit is likely to result in lower regulation, not better regulation. As individual nations, big businesses of all kinds get courted, as we all compete to attract them, a Union of nations stating that if you want to do business in any of our nations, it has to be done to certain standards, is the best way to tackle the issues of big businesses avoiding taxes, having the rules bent in their favour and generally taking the piss.
There are issues with the EU, but be fair and recognise the areas where it can do things you approve of.

The EU decided to taper off QE, it is not indicative of a current crisis, more like weaning off the anti depressants, rather than going cold turkey.
When Nigel Farage emerged from a meeting in Brussels with the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier shortly after midday last Monday his increasingly gloomy mood had darkened further. “The message I got was that they will be happy to trade chocolate and cheese and wine freely with us but when it comes to services, forget it. It ain’t going to happen. I think we are going to have a very bad deal.”
No shit Sherlock. Why would they?

If we had voted remain then Tony Bloom and other rich businessmen would not be so apprehensive about when to spend and invest, which means that we would now have 2 world class strikers and an attacking midfielder.
We would not have lost yesterday and we would be in the top six and looking forward to European football next season.
If we get relegated it will be entirely down to the leave voters who will never be forgiven and will be banned from entry to The Amex for life.
And it will serve you all right so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

If somebody could clone Margrethe Vestager to run every department of the EU,I would be the most enthusiastic Europhile going.But I'm afraid she is the only star shining in the EU heaven.The rest are best described as time-serving dross who don't give a toss about standards.

Ah Boris is back this morning
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/53390...tain-and-they-face-a-big-fight-to-deliver-it/
Boris has told confidantes that still having to accept dictats from Brussels would leave the UK as “just another Norway” and the nationwide vote’s landmark result would have proved “a total waste of time”.
In that soft Brexit scenario, the mop-haired Tory boss has even claimed to pals: “I’d rather us stay in than leave like that”.
To be fair to him he's just looking after his job in the event Brexit goes tits up

its not even accurate. its visible, additional fees that have been banned. fees will paid by all now, regardless of whether you use card or not. its not such a great policy, we'll end up paying more. surprised its not been used as an example for why we should leave to get away from poorly framed regulation.

This is misleading to the point of outright lying. It seems to be official now - it is acceptable for the Conservative Party, the government and the Prime Minister to to be barrel-scrapingly dishonest when dealing with the public on the matter of the EU. They got away with it in the UKIP-fuelled referendum and they are happy to carry on with it now. Let it be clear. This sort of behaviour by a member of the government would not be acceptable in the House of Commons. It's acceptable when dealing with the great unwashed though.
It won't worry the Brexiteers. Little seems to concern them - misinformation, division, lost billions, diminishing horizons - providing they reach their version of the promised land anything is worth it.

Yes, quite. And of course "spare porn". He doesn't seem to have much to say about it, what can you say I suppose!? But at least it gets him off everyone's case for a day or two.
Very interesting to see the complete shift in tone and position from Boris and Farage within days of each other.
What do they know that the public don't?
What's happened?
