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.

Do the figures include Mr Cameron's £9m taxpayer-funded Remain booklet?

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

Gina was with Andrew Marr this morning. I think she's actually doing damage to her cause every time she opens her gob. I hope we see more of her.

Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)


People should not be surprised that, Heseltine and Mandelson are leading the pro Remain group in the Lords; both have Bilderberg links. In the Commons Ken Clarke voted against A50; another person with links to the globalist Bilderberg Group.

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?

I remember John Major on the Marr show during the referendum. Marr just let Major carry on with his anti Brexit spiel, virtually interrupted. He was followed by Boris, who Marr seemed to interrupt pretty constantly. There was no doubt about the way Mar, at that time, was going to vote in the referendum.

Sensible down-to-earth bloke. I'd happily buy him a beer if we were in the same pub.

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.
