Re: June 8th General Election

Here's Corbyn not answering the question about whether the UK will definitely leave the EU.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/electio...itely-leave-eu

Pathetic fool. He demands clarity and detail from the PM but has nothing to say aside from the same old cloud cuckoo land guff he's famous for.

It's not at all odd how he singles out HMG for being abusive towards the EU but has nothing to say about their actions because, just as he is with nuclear weapons, he's weak and would certainly not get the best deal for the UK in any set of circumstances.

Not sure I understand that fully, sorry. Are you saying that to change to a new, cheaper, supplier you have to do a direct debit? Yes, to get the very best deal from them you could well have to but there'd surely still be savings to be made simply by changing company and paying the normal way.

I don't see why direct debit ought to be a problem for a great many people either. People are increasingly running their lives via automated payments etc.

The whole smart meter thing is going to turn into a very costly joke and yes we will wind up paying for it, just not through our taxes.
