    Indeed they learn how to be greedy, liars, cheats and downright disingenuous at local level then when they arrive at Westminster they are ready for the trough with the rest of the pigs.

    I can't say I know much about Reece-Mogg as a politician, but he's had me laughing with some of his debates. His mannerisms add a lot to his replies.

    Of the £220 billion I quoted £90 billion is services.

    Ditto.

    It's a bit like the justice system where often people's perceptions don 't match the reality of how those involved play the game.

    It's difficult to get any hard figures. One source - London First - said that the sale of services by the UK to the EU was between £36Bn and £68Bn per year.

    London First wanted to stay in the EU so maybe their vagueness helped to ensure the Leave vote won.
    I was talking to my step daughter last night and I asked her what she would do with our main house once me and Ula kicked the bucket. She said she would prefer to convert it into flats. There'd be FIVE kitchens so you would get really excited about that.

    It's on the government's office of national statistics Web site.
    For 2015 it was £88,909 million

    NSIS thinks that has soon as the oil price rises sufficiently then Scotland would want to leave the UK. I hope they realise that they wont be able to rejoin the UK when the oil price falls. I think the Scots are intelligent enough to realise that and there's only one or two people outside Scotland who haven't thought of that.

    If she put two kitchens in each flat it could set some kind of record.

    She'll be making 22 people homeless though.

    'You're either with or against us' Brexit to force Scots to choose between EU and UK

    When I go to a restaurant I pay for a meal with 10% of the cash in my wallet. My friend goes to the same restaurant and pays for a meal with 30% of the cash in his wallet. Who wins and who loses?

    Can I ask Custard why he likes this post when it is already proven he is talking total bollocks.

    If I have £100 and something is going to cost £50 then I will think long and hard about whether to spend that money because it is a lot of what I have.
    If I have £1m then £50 is peanuts and I wouldn't think twice about it.
    That is why relative cost matters rather than absolute cost. Sadly all an accountant sees is numbers.

    What a load of nonsense. There's no way you've got a friend.

    Kustard doesn't understand the discussion, he's just latched onto Pete as they both hate Romanians.
