Off Topic EU deabte. Which way are you voting ?

Make beer

 

It's genius isn't it - most of the things above that people are right to be concerned with imo - yet the EU was distributing funds to those poorer areas, it was funding programmes to tackle poverty and social mobility, yet they've taken all this away and expect a government that has driven the massive austerity programme that has increased poverty in those areas to not only replace that funding but increase it! (off the back of the bullshit £350m a week lie which they renegaded on hours after the result).

They are going to feel a whole lot worse when the cuts start to kick in...

 

I think you are confused about who is who. The Out campaign were the people who suggested spending the savings on the NHS.
Obviously the money would only be available once the UK leaves the EU.
The government makes financial decisions.
Who reneged?

 

no, that's right. I was responding to his endless abusive and bigoted posts, whereas you are simply interfering.

 

Northern England slang - a foolish or deranged person

 

You're lying again, behave, like the good lad you think you are.

 

You started with the personal insults, pal. Which is what you always do when you can't prove your point, or you're shown to be wrong.

From my point of view, I am perfectly willing to discuss and respond to any intelligent debate. But you don't want to debate anything, just try and ram your opinions down other people's throats.

Maybe that works on your board, it cuts no ice with me, matey!...

 

No, I'm not lying!..

 

Same old nonsense, you blame everyone but yourself.

 

Thanks! For just proving my point!....

 

In that case then produce the post that supports this comment from you: "had personal insults chucked at me by Tommy Cooper's hat for not knowing that!"

 

? Delusional

 

I'll look to see if I can find it. But I remember what you said!...I said "a Barmpot, what ever the **** that is?" And you came back and called me whatever for not knowing this apparently northern attribution!....

 

Umm - Nigel Farage made similar claims to this and then on TV hours afterwards said it was never going to happen. Boris used it as a central claim for the official Leave campaign (you may have noticed the slight, subtle mentions on or two buses, billboards, posters and flyers...) and then also reneged on the promise on TV within hours of the result.

Boris - leader of the out campaign, was also in the Government (and still is) and was at that time in the running for leadership of the party. I'm not confused, but sounds like you could be. Especially if you think there will be £350m of savings a week. And if you think the NHS is going to get any extra money.

 

I suggest you get a dictionary and look up the two words opinion and fact. Because you most definitely struggle to distinguish between the two!...

 

Exactly no one has reneged as those promising it were never in a position to control government spending and offer it in the first place.
The idea that a fictitious sum of £350m is in anyway going to reach the NHS is nonsense.

 

Yes, that's clear. Unfortunately, the leave campaign used that figure to stir up those who were less likely to investigate the whole issue more thoroughly.

The implication was that the £350mill p.w, that we were supposedly paying the EU ( which was a wildly incorrect figure to begin with!) would, or could be available to be spent on the NHS.

As they hoped, several bought into it....

 

She is!

He spends his time on here, inbetween meals, instead of using the quality time with his wife.

 

I reckon she'd see that as a bonus.

 

Boris Johnson wasn't in the government - he was a back bench MP.
So nobody has reneged on anything because one organisation said one thing and another organisation will decide on these matters in two years or more time.
If Mr A said: "Lets build an airport at Dover" and the government didn't build an airport at Dover who would be reneging in your mind? The person who wasn't part of any decision making or the government who never suggested it? I don't think anybody was reneging but you appear to have a warped logic.
