No they didn't Joe, they got fined because they were fiddling the price of their diggers within the EU area.

Try buying anything outside the EU you get taxed ATM why because we are tied to a beurocratic union we have now rejected already Labour in total confusion on how they will handle Brexit chancellor Macdonal mentioning a possible 2nd referendum Corbyn waffling it away - the an Labour spokesman denying it just the confusion the May camp will relish !

If Labour are mentioning a possible 2nd referendum they are going a good way to losing my vote (which previously was safe based on them not going to obstruct Brexit)
 
I'm not particularly happy about her calling an election purely to capitalise on favourable polling. The Fixed Term Act was meant to prevent that, and the get-out clause shouldn't be used in this way.

What if the Tories and SNP end up with 2/3rds of the commons - if polls are still favourable next year will they call another GE to extend their residency for a further year?
Ever since May became PM the Labour Party have been saying that she is un-elected and with no mandate, so they can't really complain that their concerns haven't been taken seriously. So now is the time for them to prove that they are right and that the country agrees with them (best of luck with that Jeremy).
 
This is another reason why Labour fail. Not everyone sees the Tories as heartless, evil people who don't care for anyone. Because they aren't. That hyperbole is ridiculous.

The thing is though that they really do not care.

Take the armed forces for instance, which is probably a stick that will be heavily used to beat that bearded peacenik weirdo Corbyn over the head with over the next six weeks. They - or rather the coalition - got rid of 33,000 service personnel during their five years in office. They sacked people weeks (and in some cases days) before they were due to get the pension they had earned by serving their country. They even did it to a bloke who got told they were going to make him redundant, then posted him to Afghanistan as the most senior officer in country.

What is worse of course is that, with the extra money the JSF and Trident will suck up, they will do it to even more people if they win.

That has been mishandled by Corbyn.

The only sane answer there is to only offer a second referendum in the event that the deal that emerges from negotiations is nothing like the one promised by "Leave" in the referendum.
