Current Affairs EU In or Out

[roydo]

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)......

Tis a bit OTT I have to admit.

We might disagree on the direction of travel, but both of us can see BS when we see it mate,

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........

None of those groups are charities, pete - the IEA is.

Also the IEA (and as many of its board members as I have been bothered to search for) doesn't even appear on the Register of Consultant Lobbyists as probably required to by law. Given that the Tories brought in that particular bit of legislation, I would have thought you would support it being enforced.

Norway-style Brexit please. EFTA rules.

It’s a stitch up. I see May is now under pressure from the grass roots party members. She needs to be told in no uncertain terms that if her EU give away white paper is rejected, she’s out, no ifs nor buts, she’s gone.....

The lobbyists of other organisations will also belong to ‘charities’, but not of the type who rattle tins... Lobbyists are around in their many thousands and are crawling all over the government et al pushing their particular message. This is not a one off.......

I still think having some kind of test prior to voting would have prevented all of this.

I agree...general knowledge, history, economics, political history, political awareness, life experience, psychological, common sense...just pick the subjects.....

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

Amen/Awomen...

Pete - if they are conducting lobbying as a business and for financial gain, they've broken the law your lot brought in.
