Current Affairs EU In or Out

The author of that piece is actually someone called Liam Halligan. He was born in London, he holds an Irish as well as a British passport, and has extensive business history in Russia including working for people close to their Government (Putin's and its precedessor).

So basically we might be ok, but he certainly will.

The name was familier to me, just didnt know why!

Yawn keep googling to make yourself look clever........

I am clever thanks Joe, I don’t need a search engine to make me look like anything mate. In the modern age it’s akin to errrmmm books and people generally read things in order to enhance their knowledge and understanding.

I take it you couldn’t be bothered looking up the insulin supply chain then?

Don't tell me what to do you have been at me all am and pm you are a typical remainer can't except the democratic vote ...
Which imo opinion is just a typical Remoaners attitude by the same posters who still back Remain after the vote on here
A deal will be done and even then you will find fault with it........

‘At you’ ? All he’s done is challenge what you posted as being inaccurate and he posted information that backed his position.

You’ve accused me of the same thing, for doing the same thing. If you don’t want to be challenged then don’t post stuff that’s either unsubstantiated or just a meaningless soundbite. This forum isn’t an echo chamber for your view and those who challenge it aren’t somehow picking on you.

Joey the reason Labour voters like you stay home is because, frankly, your politics make absolutely no sense.

Corbyn is the least pro-EU Labour leader for decades, you want to leave the EU, all Labour's centrists (certainly all the likely leaders) are absolutely zealous Remainers, and yet you refuse to vote for him because he isn't centrist enough?

You also ask whether Momentum puts votes in the ballot box when Labour got 3.5 million more votes in 2017 than they did in 2015, and go on to claim that the left in Europe is unpopular when Labour is by far the biggest and most popular left wing party in Europe, thanks precisely to Corbyn abandoning the "politics" (or more accurately, narrow self-interest) of the centre.

i am not naturally a fan of Corbyn, or should really say the people he surrounds himself with, but he did really well in the GE have a look were Labour were in the polls and results prior to the GE the gains he made were really good by anyone's standards.
My main problem with him is i didnt ever see him winning an GE election , but along comes soft arse May and i think that has now changed.
A new leader and people focused on UK political issues, nobody is really talking about anything but Brexit, might give the tories a chance, but my feeling is not enough as remainers will be reluctant to vote for them implement ing brexit, and leavers will not vote for them in response to the fudge they will inadvertently they will bring back leaving them feeling they havnt got what the voted for.
Could be a perfect storm for Labour if they play there cards right.
ps i voted for Labour last time anyway , despite my misgivings.

90% of all medicines in the U.K. are imported, with 45% coming from the EU.

I’m not beset on making them the be-all and end-all of anything. I’m just pointing out the difficulties of a no deal exit.

I’m also getting increasingly irritated, with people just peddling falsehoods to gloss over these issues.

These issues that are being glossed over, are you really suggesting that the EU will not sell us medicines, I mean really...

 

[peteblue]

Dear god, are the Remainers seriously saying that we won’t get food nor medicines when we leave the EU. I’ve heard some crap from them during this debate, but this takes the biscuit (biscuits of course won’t be available)......

 

[peteblue]

We will need the army to move food around the country....I wonder what the millions of lorry’s and vans will be doing or are they all owned by the EU...will the army be invading France to get the food, or should we just order it from somewhere else.... it was bad enough when they said doom and gloom over the economy, but this is like something out of Monty Python, who the kids won’t know of course.......

Oh dear:

A rightwing thinktank has been offering potential US donors access to government ministers and civil servants as it raises cash for research to support the free-trade deals demanded by hardline Brexiters, according to an investigation.

The director of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) was secretly recorded telling an undercover reporter that funders could get to know ministers on first-name terms and that his organisation was in “the Brexit influencing game”.

Mark Littlewood claimed the IEA could make introductions to ministers and said the thinktank’s trade expert knew Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, David Davis and Liam Fox well.

The IEA chief was also recorded suggesting potential US donors could fund and shape “substantial content” of research commissioned by the thinktank and that its findings would always support the argument for free-trade deals.

This could hugely benefit US farmers by lifting the ban on the sale in the UK of beef from cattle treated with growth hormones and chlorine-washed chicken.

Speaking about what kind of Westminster access the IEA could provide donors with, Littlewood told the investigator: “I have absolutely no problem with people who have business interests, us facilitating those.”

They wouldn't do that, one they are not going to kill people or lose the income.
The UK is home to some of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world,
1 in 5 of the world's top selling prescription drugs come from UK research, be a bit daft for both parties to go down that route.

Repent! Repent your sins to a non denomination, non binary gender god (ess) the end days are upon us!

I’m not quite sure what your point is. This happens all the time with U.K. government, political parties, civil service ( but a bit more quietly) and the EU in Brussels........

Indeed, there really is some crap being spouted at the moment. I even read one where it said the army would deliver fuel, but god only knows what all the fuel tanker companies and drivers will be doing.....
