Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)
So the SNP's pipe dream has been exposed for what it was. It's not looking that good is it - laughable economic projections, retaining Sterling, retained EU membership blah, blah, blah...

Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)
Interesting development but if there was any overspending I don't think the organisations exist any longer for any fines etc to be levied.

EU referendum campaign spending probed
The spending returns of the Stronger In and Vote Leave campaigns in last year's EU referendum are under investigation, the Electoral Commission has announced.
A total of more than £32m was spent on the campaign - with the Leave side funded by donations totalling £16.4m, outgunning the Remain side's £15.1m.

Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)
See, whenever a remoaner says something like "you brexiteers are such poor winners. Don't you know that you've won? I don't know what you lot are so worried about"
...... This is the kind of thing that makes us worry and makes me want to shove their heads down a toilet and flush it

Mandelson has all sorts of 'links' - including that from which his very generous home loan came, enabling him to buy a very swanky house otherwise out of his financial reach*. That aside, being on the in the House of Lords and EU gravy trains simultaneously is very nice 'work' for the privileged few and enables them to assist their even richer mates. Why would these people want to bite the hand that feeds them?

Silly old fool should go back to watching cricket and drinking warm beer. Yesterday's man, yesterday's ideas.

Re: BREXIT
The Telegraph missed out the best part of his speech IMO:
Quote:
“Freedom of speech is absolute in our country,” he said. “It’s not arrogant or brazen or elitist, or remotely delusional to express concern about our future after Brexit. Nor, by doing so, is this group undermining the will of the people; they are the people. Shouting down their legitimate comment is against all our traditions of tolerance. It does nothing to inform and everything to demean – and it is time it stopped.”
|
Anyway this kind of thing will happen for a while. At least we're less than a month away from Article 50 been issued so we can get on with the real discussion and deal making and not this limbo.

Well we all know Brexit is happening but John Major is a pretty moderate conservative who generally talks a lot of sense.
