Current Affairs EU In or Out

This is seen as quite an offensive insult in some parts.

Please don't use it in future, unless referring to actual meatballs.

Or a bundle of sticks.

Hah, he is an old faggot stuck in the sixties, who believes Stalin, and the likes of the North Korean chap are benevolent goodies. He is in reality a closet commie.

This post and the like it received just sums up this thread for me to be honest

Just having got back from Italy, everywhere you look there are infrastructure projects ongoing, all boasting the EU emblem. In other words lots of coin being spent.
I have to look hard in this country for anything approaching the same. Just my own personal feeling that the UK were being short changed.

You spent much time in Liverpool mate? Thank god they were allocating the money and not the Tories

Haven't to be honest mate, get as far as Goodison before heading back home so am assuming the city has done well. Nice to hear.

No mate it was the lamentable use of the term "faggot" that I was referring to. It's a shame we have a load of dated Alf Garnetts voting on stuff like the EU as their views are thankfully consigned to the past.

Okay mate, a figure of speech lets not fall out over that. I will be honest with you. I will never support Corbyn or the party he is a leader of because of his friendship with the leaders of the IRA and shaking there hands. They were the leaders of an organisation that was responsible for the murder of many innocent people and Corbyn referred to them as freedom fighters. That was sickening, wonder how the relatives of the murdered people feel about Corbyn.
There I have said what I feel now you all have a go at me if you wish.

No mate and I have a lot of family from Northern Ireland, I agree with you there. Mine are catholic and have no time for the IRA.

Appeasement was needed to stop the bloodshed though mate.

 

[Joey66]

That's fine.

Yes I have heard of that

Farage stated in his campaign for out it was incorrect, the rebates had not been deducted, he laughed at it!

Farage had nothing to do with the official "Vote Leave" campaign and he made no such promise.

Cheers Mate, my wife and her family are RC and feel like yours. Agree talks should have been many years before but the UK govt were not amenable neither were Paisley and his cohorts, terrible man and incited violence.

Leave it at that.

So, if we start with the £10.1Bn, we can then decide where we distribute the money.......our money....to distribute as we wish.......

Say the UK has £300 billion in the coffers to spend. Start with the £10 billion - the top line figure minus the TOR payments minus the rebate = 10 billion. It is sent to Brussels and the UK treasury is down that £10 billion = £290 billion to spend. The EU then gives the UK back £4.5 billion to farmers and the regions etc. and £1.5 billion for universities and research = £6 billion. While the treasury is down £10 billion the UK as a whole is only down £4 billion as £6 billion has been spent in the UK. The cost to the UK of being in the EU is £4 billion.

The moment the UK leaves, if it does, the UK would have £300 billion to spend, £10 billion more than now. But May has said she would honour the EU spending on farmers, the regions and universities etc which is £6 billion until 2020. The treasury now has £294 billion to spend as it sees fit. The cost of the EU to the UK treasury is £4 billion.

Come 2020 any government will have to decide whether it keeps honouring EU pledges or spend it elsewhere.

Hard Brexit sounds a bit rude

But it will be our choice how the money spent. This is the real issue, the UK gets to choose what it does with its own money, it gets to choose who it let's into the country, it gets to choose it's own laws and it's people get to choose it's ultimate leaders.....we become a Sovereign and Independent country again and we are more than big enough and capable of doing so......
