Cable Forum - Post-Brexit Thread

Correct, not being the incumbent Government, the Brexit campaign had no power to promise anything and didn't except for the fact that we'd have the power to decide our own affairs, including spending any money saved in EU fees (£350m or otherwise) on the NHS if we so wished.

I mean maybe they shouldn't have put it on a bus then.

I also think we're going to find that the money saved on EU fees is going to be less than we're losing elsewhere. I don't expect the upcoming budget is going to be welcoming.

Despite the fact the bus said "Lets give the £350m to the NHS"

In my understanding that isn't say we'll give.

'I'll try to give you £50' is an aspiration.

'I'll give you £50' is a promise...

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

'Lets give' is not the same as 'we will give'

It's a suggestion, whereas 'we will give' is a statement.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Serious question.. would people be prepared to accent a CETA or TTIP style deal between the UK and the EU, US or Canada?

I can see Audi's, BMW's & Mercedes (plus others) stop being sold if a decsent aggreement isn't reached.

Can you see the German losing all those sales?

It's just a weaker way of saying it, the meaning of the words isn't really relevant imo, it's what they intended people to believe that's important and in that respect they were duplicitous imo.

Britain’s biggest banks are preparing to relocate out of the UK in the first few months of 2017 amid growing fears over the impending Brexit negotiations, while smaller banks are making plans to get out before Christmas.

If that does actually happen we're going to lose a hell of a lot more than £350 million a week.

'Let's give', is a suggestion,

'We are going to give.' Is confirming an action.

'Let's go to the park.' Is a suggestion.

'We're going to the park.' Is a confirmation.

You need to take up your own advice.

Either way, I and many others had made up their mind, way before any promises had been made and let's not forget, there was LIES on either side of the campaigns.

I saw that comment from 1andrew1 and it was pathetic. It was an uneducated remark/attack, typically attributed to a narrow minded remoaner. I believe the social term, is 'trolling.'
