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.

IMHO People need to read things properly.
I only got a "C" in CSE English and I understood what the sign said.

The didn't put a promise on the bus, they put an aspiration. It's perfectly clear, perfectly reasonable and it stands. It'll be HMG who decide what the money's spent on but who knows what the amounts involved 2 years down the line or so will actually be.

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?

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
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.'
