It appears that we shall be deprived of the company and "novel" political views of the recently inactive MTUK1, at least for a while...
Not sure what was said but hey ho. I only wish that, like Mr Takagi, he wouldn't be joining us for the rest of his life... |

The £350 million taken by the EU from Britain weekly is probably false. The true cost is more like £700 million per. week when the cost of pointless directives, paying benefits to immigrants and paying benefits to British workers who have been forced on to benefits by unfair competition from cheap East European Labour are taken into account.

Looks like Brexit is going well, regardless of what us Remoaners say.
![]() https://www.theguardian.com/politics...civil-servants Theresa May is struggling to summon enough political courage to admit there will be difficulties in Britain’s exit from the European Union, according to the head of the senior civil servants’ union. Dave Penman, general secretary of the FDA, said the prime minister’s inability to talk openly about the complexity of Brexit could lead to a breaking point in Whitehall as staff struggle with an immense workload on limited resources. Civil servants across government departments are preparing for May to trigger article 50 in March, launching the Brexit process. |

As for the pointless directives - would you like to give an example? |

As for the alleged £450M saving, are they going to write it on a big red bus? |

As for the alleged £450M saving, are they going to write it on a big red bus? https://www.theguardian.com/politics...funding-pledge [i][Michael Gove, a leading Brexit campaigner, has renewed his argument that economic experts need to be challenged and defended the Vote Leave slogan from the referendum campaign, saying that the NHS will get £350m a week after the UK leaves the EU. Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Gove expanded on his controversial claim during the Brexit campaign that the public had “had enough of experts” from economic bodies known by their acronyms. In a debate with Stephanie Flanders, the economist and former BBC journalist, he even cited an expert professor to support his argument that expert economists were not good at making predictions. “Sometimes we’re invited to take experts as though they were prophets, as though their words were carved in tablets of stone and that we had to simply meekly bow down before them and accept their verdict,” he said./I] |

Why not just throw a bunch of sticks in the air and see how they fall. Failing that stare at the sky and make some pretentious announcement like Aquarius is in retrograde lets vote leave. |

They'd rather have their doubt removed with the utter bollox that comes out of our newspapers, or what Barry said down the pub... |

I'm sure you can back that statement with figures but let me help you. EU benefit claimants account for 2.2% of all claimants or to put it another way more than 97% of claimants were a national of another member state when they first got an NI number.
As for the pointless directives - would you like to give an example? Banning the sale of powerful vacuum cleaners and other examples of unwanted interference imposed on Britain? |

Lol. Hilarious. Of course it's possible for a Briton to be Anti British. You've obviously never met a liberal lefty Guardianista from Islington. They're quite often Anti British to the core. They hate everything their own country stands for.

If they take a house, need education and healthcare for their family members and children and force British workers displaced in the workplace onto benefits then this has a huge cost.

Speaking of red buses .. Gove says the £350m for the NHS is still on
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...funding-pledge No wonder Gove has no friends. |

How fortunate for them that they've been able to blame it all on the EU. Who will they blame when they've run out of people/things to blame? Maybe then, the British public will finally see them and their cohorts for what they really are! Especially when the political Union is a pie-eyed construct, acting as a Federation of states, despite so called sovereign, individual member countries are at great variance wrt their individual economies. What is the point of being unable to prevent non-skilled EU personnel from just walking into this country when we have nearly two million unemployed, mostly non-skilled already claiming dole!!! Immigration should be restricted to what the country needs.......as most sensibly governed countries do. The current set up up is doomed to failure, as indicated by Greece, et al, It is our stupid governments that have continued to let down this country that are the rightful target of blame - not the EU per se, or the immigrants - because nobody should be blamed for trying to better their lives - by taking legal steps at least. And the pro-Brexit lobby can at least point to tangible \advantages that will be gained via Brexit - and not just the saving of the multi-billion EU subsidy - which is just absolute nonsense. By definition, whilst we remain in the EU - such subsidies should be paid from the Overseas Aid fund..................because that is precisely what it is !! |
