No I seriously don’t get your post.......what’s the connection between the two ?
Agreed or some were forced to accept ?
Wonder how much was spent on the actual conference......more red wine anyone ?
The connection is that we’re all being shafted by our own government worse than any make-believe shafting the EU boogeyman could have had in store for us in the dumbest Express opinion column and almost everyone just shrugs their shoulders.
The thread I posted lists all the awful **** that has gone down here in just a few days and it barely gets a mention close to the front pages.
David Lammy’s speech (always a popular character on here) summarised it very well.
Makes more sense now.......that’s for the explanation.
I would point out however, that just ‘cos one organisation (our government) ****s us over massively.....it doesn’t make the other organisation (the EU) any less of a **** for ****ing us over as well.
Call me old-fashioned but I don’t really care what Hungarian politicians are up to compared to what’s happening here. Whataboutery and all that.
When it’s my taxes that go to the said Hungarian politicians through EU funding then I kinda care.....I’m a bit old fashioned in that way and would rather the money get spent on funding over here for the homeless/poor and needy rather than a new Roller for Comrade Morislov........Whataboutery and all that.
Well we’ve got a whole lot less funding for our homeless and poor to look forward to.
I thought we gave more to the EU than we got back........sorry, my mistake.
Im not a mathematician of course......but I’d say overall we put a lot more in than we got out, even if you include the enormous net benefits you mention.
Again that’s just my opinion and I stand to be corrected
I can’t correct you although I’d argue the post doesn’t make sense.
Only the future will prove whether the likes of Michael Gove and Jacob Rees-Mogg really had our best interests at heart.
Recklessness is more difficult to prove than negligence because, as you say, it suggests intent and mind-set is difficult to establish. But let's see the evidence of recklessness that the cross-party committee put out. As to the next election, maybe you're right, but remember that Labour under Corbyn was the most pro Russian party ever. He even doubted Russia had a hand in the Skripal poisonings
Hmm, maybe. Recent press reports are big on interference but details and which way the interference went are not being disclosed
