Wow 100 M a week is not a big deal, how many hospitals and schools does that add up to a year. Anyway this talk about 250 M is way off the mark, as we get a large amount back in direct subsidies. Also the trade benefit of having tariff free access to the largest market in the world is vast compared with what we pay in. Why do you think Germany, France etc etc were keen to expand the EU, it meant a bigger market for everyone's goods. Trade is the greatest contributor to world prosperity - and if I might quote Molesworth "As evry ful kno".

No we don't. We get about 4B rebate and 4B subsidies, with much of the latter going to rich landowners or allocated for mainly useless cash boosts to credit the EU. The bizarre thing is that these grants are also from our own money anyway!

It was a suggestion, more than an implication .

The word used was "Could be" , it didnt say *Would be *

It was "lets". A suggestion more than a promise. Leavers can filter this stuff out as they are aware that promises like this are only able to be fulfilled by people in power, as Boris was not at the time of the referendum campaign.

I agree that Farage should have been the first to be brought to book over the lies.  If politicians could seriously be jailed for lying then Farage would be on a life sentence by now.  As for Trump... well the key would have been thrown away years ago!

 

But politicians and lying go hand in hand.  In the past if a politician was found to be lying he would have fallen on his/her sword and resigned.  If that happened these days the Houses of Parliament would be empty.  And it all get's absorbed into a continual cycle of spin.  As Penny Mordaunt said today, "Policy has given way to presentation".  Watch out for Ms Mordaunt, she may just be biding her time before throwing her hat in the ring and if she does then she could stir things up a bit.

What lies has Farage told?

So to summarise, per week:

- 13 billion divided by 52, that's a contribution of 250 million per week.

- 9 billion divided by 52, that's a net cost of 173 million per week.

 

And 18.6 billion per week?

If I know the figure I would like to make the worth or not worth option for them deciding by myself , thank you ,

it looks a little bit as "renting" a E.U.membership now , or a "pre vasal state" membership

It's just money. Hey.

 

UK net contribution now is about 9 billion. So about 170M/week Sterling (or 190M Euro).

 

Eu has said that any rebates will be phased out soon.

Chancellor Philip Hammond could try to bring down next government to block no-deal

Mr Hammond says "national interest trumps the party interest" and vows to "act in what I believe is the best interest" of the UK.

By Aubrey Allegretti, political reporter

Chancellor Philip Hammond has suggested he could try to bring down the government to block a no-deal Brexit.

In an exclusive interview with Sky News, he left open the option of backing a no-confidence vote against the next prime minister to stop them pursuing something "not in Britain's interests".

Tory MPs vying to replace Theresa May have been jockeying over whether they would ensure the UK leaves the EU on 31 October regardless of whether or not parliament passes a withdrawal agreement.

Three former cabinet ministers have committed to doing so - Esther McVey, Dominic Raab and Boris Johnson.

Mr Hammond said he was meeting all the candidates this week to decide who to back.

"I would not support a policy of no-deal by choice," he told Sky News.

Then why are you giving these extensions, that the British people do not want. If it’s not for the money.

  If a Doctor clammed to be overworked , working 70 hours a week and you found out that he only worked 60 hours a week , take him to Court for lying ?

How would that affect me and why would I have any claim?

 But if I Did not have a particular malady  and he knew It, but said I Did ,for personal claim , then I think I have a very good claim.

I think Boris knowingly lied for personal gain , I think he is liable, and I think politicians should be held to the same standard.

They won't prosecute an old etoinion 

They all pull together

I think that the relevant group in this is "Common Purpose" rather than "Old Etonians".

 

I wouldn't mind betting that there is some very strong lobbying (on both sides) to make sure that this case appears before the "right-minded" judge.

 

Personally, I think it is a very dangerous precedent for the courts to get involved in rulings on political campaigning, particularly in cases launched by crowdfunded private prosecutions, when the Police and CPS have decided that it does not merit prosecution. I hope (and rather expect) that the higher courts will take the same view.

my question was exactly about the money …, maybe it is worth the money ? I never said the E.U. does not like money …. they do !….. as proven as they wait the 39 billion ...

 

I think all like money …, as even there was a red bus with plenty money mentioned on the sides to bring to NHS ….became a reason for ….U.K. Brexit I remember
