Letwin amemdment has just passed. Poor blondie, the PM who has never won a vote in the HoC. Boris cancels vote on his deal. Refused to instigate delay, blatantly breaking the law.

He never said that he won't send the letter. He simply said the Benn act does not "compel" him to "negotiate" a delay to Brexit.

The workers pay tax and national insurance which pays for education and medical costs 

Those corporations do not employ many workers, they are "tax seats" that employ workers in poor countries.

And what about those who cannot work?

What about those who dutifully pay for their medical costs but who prove too expensive for their private insurers (who you dont want to pay tax)when they grow older? Don't you like the NHS?

Correct. He will send the letter then refuse to negotiate a delay with the EU.

No, not after they precipitated my parents deaths.

 

It's OK... we got a letter from the Ombudsman responding to our complaint, acknowledging the shortcomings that were uncovered and assuring us that the responsible parties were subsequently dealt with.

 

But still...

Of course he does not like the NHS. He prefers the American / Thai system of health care for the rich only.

So he will send the letter asking for delay, next he will not negotiate about the delay, which means that the EU will set the terms of the delay? That wil give parliament the time to force a new referendum. Am I missing something?

Sorry to read this about your parents.

But do you think the American / Thai systems do not make mistakes?

And no handicapped people to be provided for by taxpayers' money.

Also no unemployed or sick, no need for schools or roads or public transport.

And if you choose the right god, you won't even have to pay for bargirls, since virgins will be provided for free.

And the next question: Who polices? Who defends our borders? Burger King? Some private group of mercenaries? Should the Civil Service be privatised too?

 

If you don't believe in the State, fine. But don't bother waving the flag, then. If you don't have State Institutions you don't have a State.

Yep. The EU could refuse the delay because Johnson refuses to give them grounds for a delay.

In theory - yes, in practice - no. The money comes from the treasury and the amount is set in the budget.

They could, but would they?

The EU could take into concideration the fact that Boris is speaking only for a minority.

The EU might put the well being of the British population before Boris' selfish interests?

OK . you stated that I do not like the NHS .

Why did you state that ?

What were your reasons ?

Manufacturing corporations will not manufacture in high wage countries any more.

They will only move their head quarters to where taxes are low.

That creates a very limited number of (higly paid) jobs.

Surely you must have heard of "globalisation" - it is one of the things brexiteers want to stop?

(no, of course not the Borisses and the Reesmuggs, but the misled majority)

A brexiteer said that lowering taxes will attract corporations.

He did not name any.

How can I possibly say exactly which ones will not be attracted? I can only say that MANUFACTURING

 corporations will NOT be attracted (because of high wages) and that  only tax head quarters will be attracted.

How much manufacturing goes on in Panama or Virgin Islands? Yes, at those places some rich people get even more rich, but JOBS???
