    How many more times???

     

    Politicians do NOT need to vote with the majority of their constituents. They should vote according to what the think is in their best interests and in the interests of the country as a whole.

     

    Sadly, and increasingly obviously, they vote according to what will keep them in power!

     

    Anyway, good day today. Merkel and Macron will lead the Cons by their snouts to the correct, optimal solution ?

    typical reaction from someone who didnt like the referendum result which 17 million voted in.

  2. Don't spend up to your income, don't retire without a safety margin, don't assume that 56 to the pound has to continue....
     
    People make loads of assumptions about what's reasonable and unreasonable. Last week someone who was part of a couple on £100,000 a year, in a cheap part of the country, was in a state because she hadn't made it to the bank to get £300 from a savings account. A couple of days before payday, nearly six grand hitting the account every month, and they didn't have a poxy £300 before payday without a special trip to the savings account. If you get £800 a month UK pension in 2014 (quite typical), and you spend 44,800 baht a month in a country where a decent condo is 6,000 or less, and big bottles of beer are 80, it's not what you'd call "prudent", is it? 

    Drivel !!!

    The EU economy is recovering (sorry to disappoint those that predicted imminent implosion) and the "fact" that you might want to consider is that the UK experienced the slowest economic growth between 1950 until joining the EU, and only experienced fast economic growth after joining the EU (faster than even Germany) ... so we're heading back to the future ... there's a reason that a country's biggest trading partners are their neighbours. Trade deals agreed in 2030 and beyond will not fill the gap. 

     

    2030 ? Haha ! Must be an EU Bureaucrat fantasy with fantasy numbers! To say from post WW2 until 1972 was slow economic growth and then "magic" joining EEC saved UK economy is more "fantasy"

  4. Amusing to see the GDP debate ... by the same character that seemed to believe that German car trade meant surefire access to the single market ... but the fact of the matter is that the EU economy has improved and appears to be on a positive growth trajectory ... maybe why those predictions of imminent implosion don't seem to appear on here anymore? Looks like the UK is entering the slow lane ... and we don't actually leave until 2019. Way to go Brexiteers.

    The UK economy is doing far better than EU's which is in "slow lane" Fact is the EU membership has proved a drag on UK economy. All indicators are the British economy will thrive outside that "outdated centralised bureaucratic 20th century club" so "way to go" in the wide world

  5. And Teresa May is behaving like a spoiled child. Two wrongs will never make a right and this is getting further each day from going in the right direction.
    Try and remember who will pay the penalty when it all goes wrong.

    Haha dream on! May is telling the arrogant EU bureaucrats! " don't threaten us and you know what we can walk away from your club anytime we want , now go and find another country's money to waste"!!
