I think you're right. The way to support Albania and Macedonia is to trade with them, which I hope is what an independent UK will do
We’ll have to agree to disagree Goldie, but as always a pleasure to debate with someone who is willing to look at things objectively and post an intelligent and well thought out reply. I went for a tattoo of Hughes on my arse in the end......it looks **** (boom, boom)
Not a brilliant question at all. Another vote would achieve nothing, although it would be stitched up to split the leave vote.
I should think Hughes has given us all enough pain for a lifetime Pleasure to debate with you too, Stainsey. I'm sure it won't be the last
Don't wonder Goldie. We are the largest pro-EU country in Europe bar none despite being a net contributor since 2016. I saw one recent poll which suggested that 88% wanted to remain in the EU. Of course, the circus going on across the water has affected people's opinion. I doubt the 88% figure would have been that high a few years back.
lots of money down the back of the sofa Spring Statement: Hammond promises 'deal dividend' By Szu Ping Chan Business reporter, BBC News Chancellor's Spring Statement please log in to view this image Image copyright Getty Images The chancellor has pledged to spend a £26.6bn Brexit war chest to boost the economy, if MPs vote to leave the European Union with a deal. Philip Hammond vowed to free up more money to help end austerity in a "deal dividend". However, he said tax cuts and spending rises depended on a smooth Brexit. Mr Hammond used his Spring Statement to warn that a disorderly Brexit would deal a "significant" blow to economic activity in the short term. He said the decision by MPs to reject Theresa May's Brexit deal for a second time had left a "a cloud of uncertainty hanging over our economy".
Here we go Brexit betray part 3. A weird side of me wants them to derail Brexit so the people can rebel, kick out all these weak MP's and get some tough Brexit MP's like Farage and co in. We do need a shake up and a big clear out.
be nice if all the students paid back the loans its a problem here too too many piss off out of the country with no intention of paying any money back 0% interest rate on student loans here Student loans headache Mr Hammond is expected to set out detailed plans about how money will be allocated to different government departments beyond 2020 in a spending review starting this summer. However, changes to the way student loans are treated on the government's books will eat away at the Brexit war chest that Mr Hammond has set aside. The changes, which reflect the fact that many students will never fully repay their loans, are expected to reduce the pot of available cash by around £12bn this autumn. The watchdog said this would also make an ongoing aspiration of eliminating the deficit "harder to achieve". Robert Chote, the chairman of the OBR, said the Chancellor could respond to the statistical shake up by changing his borrowing targets, or by tweaking other tax and spending measures. please log in to view this image Image copyright NurPhoto Image caption Changes to the way the Office for National Statistics treats student loans in the autumn will reduce the cash Hammond has to spend
Fair play to Ireland, Fing, that the enthusiasm remains despite transitioning to contributor. As the UK goes out and Albania and Macedonia come in, I would expect contributions to rise considerably for contributing countries (I see Ireland's contribution is currently up to 2.7 bn). I imagine part of the reason for the approval is the weight Brussels has put behind Ireland over the border and backstop. I'll be genuinely interested to see how the 88% satisfaction figure holds going forward (let's hope Brexit is resolved soon.)
That wouldn't have been difficult. I find it sad how people want our negotiating hand to be weakened. We really do have some treacherous muppets in this country don't we?
Yes Col 3-400 treacherous MP's that are going against their own country. The day of reckoning will come and they will only have theirselves to blame when your Tommy Robinsons and co become MP's or MEP's
Are you really still coming out with this bollocks? Would love to see Tommeh MEP. Can’t think of a better ambassador.
