Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

see Teressa May trying the bribe tactic again to try get her deal through like she did to stay in power

https://news.sky.com/story/theresa-m...-fund-11654666

£1.6bn isn't small change but it is worth noting that this is on top of the €17.2bn of structural investment we are getting from the EU for the 2014-2020 budget cycle.

Interesting to see where the EU ESI money goes in the UK - file:///C:/Users/100018459/Downloads/CBP-7847.pdf

The same could be said for all forms of taxation. Scotland’s oil etc.

Bollocks to that.

Inland Revenue is our place to pay Tax in to UK Coffers not the corrupted EU as well.

When will some of you Remainers get it in to your heads, that the UK is a NET Contributing Member of the Corrupted EU (Hopefully not for much longer). ???

In laymen's terms, if I was to take £5,000 from you and then I gave you back £3,250 and ALSO tell you what to spend it on, I am not investing in you, I am just giving back SOME of what you give me and I am taking a cut for doing bugger all (Except the dictating part)!!! :rolleyes:

Oh and for the record for me it's not about leaving or staying it's about someone trying to make a mug out of me, I don't like it and won't shut up about it or let those concerned forget it

and in the spirit of our current brand of politician I may have "misremembered" the doctors figure, tbf though I am doing this from memory, think it was 10% of doctors that believed it true and 2 out of 3 that thought it was a deliberate lie, not a misinterpreted suggestion

I don't know why you are being so naive. Politics and lies have always gone together.

It is that simple, actually. Leave means leave. A concept that so many remainers don't seem to be able to get their heads around.

Err, no - the UK is a unitary nation state. The money is paid by every citizen to a government which is exclusively accountable at the ballot box to the entire British electorate and then is distributed as required, again by the government which is accountable to us, and only to us. Despite loud protestations from Scottish nationalists, theirs is a minority view and most people in Scotland are comfortable that this is the case and should remain so.

The European Union, despite its ambitions, is not a unitary nation state and once we have paid our contribution we have extremely limited control over the institutions that spend it.

The two situations are as different as chalk and cheese and nobody with any kind of grasp of the reality here could possibly equate them.

Calling someone out as naive just because you don't agree with their views is rather silly OB.

Maybe so, but it doesn't take away from the fact that the electorate was assured their decision would be implemented. Why are we still talking about this? We need to look forward, not back.

Nothing like generalising again as its a minority who have not accepted the result nothing more nothing less.

I'm sorry, but it is simply naive not to appreciate that politicians have a tendency to lie. I thought everyone knew that.

If one calls something as significant as a in/out EU referendum then they should have the courage to see it through end of..

I'd have thought all the true defenders of democracy, the will of the people types would agree or is it more a case of my voice must be heard and hang the rationale behind it, which imo makes them less of a democracy champion and more of a spoilt brat and anyone thinking this is just about brexit is mistaken to again imo, this whole country is paralysed by it, nothing is being done whilst the place crumbles around us, the law of unintended consequences personified, who voted for that?

17.4 million people (a majority) voted to LEAVE the EU. What wasn't on the ballot paper does not change that. The fact that the politicians are a useless bunch of self-serving idiots is an unfortunate element in delivering the public's mandate.
