Listen to all those muppet MP's cheering when she mentioned 'not leaving the EU' I can't wait to see their faces at the next GE.
 
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.

Yup . realistically anyone who didn't earn much or earns abroad and doesnt declare to the uk (esp if not a uk tax resident) realistically wont pay it back.

P.s. the title is wrong the interest on student loans is stupid especially since they were sold off to private investors

Macedonia, but especially Albania, are going to soak up a lot of EU money. Ireland, that has until recently (2016) been a net recipient country, will find itself being a big contributing country. I wonder if that will affect the popularity of the EU in that country.

No it won’t work like that st all
That is a very naive way of looking at it and pure anti Europe blame culture

You just be happy with the Brexit you will get given and maybe start thinking about rebuilding the country
 
I have totally lost track of what the **** is going on, despite having sort of tried to follow it on the telly. In my defence I was eating a tasty curry and drinking lovely EU Czech lager to accompany it.

What a bunch of ****wits.

So 4 cabinet ministers went against May, including Rudd and they have said they won't resign they will have to be sacked? WTF is May putting up with? <doh> Surely she has to fall on her sword and we get someone stronger in.

Compared with your Tory ****witt robot
Corbyn again showing his class imo to sort out the mess that the ****ing Cons have made

I also believe that Mrs May is a spiteful racist vampire robot who eats babies. She is a queen of the dark arts as you can clearly see that her legs are that of a goat

The blue cloven hoof who is also a satanic Jew hater
