There have been thoughts that purchase tax does at least mean that the more you spend the more tax you pay or put another way the more money you have the more tax you pay - what's wrong with that?

That was a useful link Never let it be said that Remain are overly constrained by principle. https://www.opendemocracy.net/uk/oliver-huitson/eu-piece

We had the input to the EU yesterday and here we have the equivalent for the UK https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/our-work/brexit

The General never got over being decanted to Swindon Railway Station during the war.

I don't think the Brexit is really about lack of cooperation with our European neighbours and from my perspective far from it. I take your point about two people from different parties having a civilised conversation, refreshing. In the main the Tories seem more able to manage to remain civil...

Take care.

I guess if you have eyes in the back of your head you won't need anyone to watch your back?

Oh dear - no one is listening, I wonder why? Send in the clowns!

You might not believe me, but they are reliable friends. Only the politicians get in way at times. I suspect we will continue to need one another (all three of us) for a long time yet. Four even, could never forget Canada.

No I mean, truth only comes out of the mouth of babies, or words to that effect.

It shouldn't - or at least not without asking the EU for their assessment of the impact of BREXIT at the same time.

If only! Not only that but I would probably be more on your wavelength.

The money ended up back in Poland in any event and cost the Poles nothing. I assume that there is more to this than a couple of property developers getting loans from German banks - who pays in the end? I thought, naively perhaps, that the people that loaned money exercised due diligence -...

A race to the bottom perhaps?
