Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Since we have Conservative Government you end up selling your house to pay for the care
So how would you organise things then? If not by democracy - how would you do it?
Remember - democracy is one man/woman one vote. Regardless of how 'educated' you think they are.
What is your system?
This is typical of the right wing attitude of trying to belittle someone they think defenseless
What has this to do with Brexit?
And it is about to run afoul of the new regulations against that practice that is behind the support of the Rees Moggs of this world's desire for us to leave the EU
So what is your point?
Is the UK more perfect in that respect, when by any standards Tax evasion is worse in the offshore swindles originating in the UK than anywhere else in the world?
No
You are being a dick again. Stop it.
The official transcript of parliamentary proceedings, Hansard, records more than 700 instances of Rees-Mogg using one or other of the banned words or phrases.
Expect extra scrutiny to be applied to JRM in the commons everytime he opens his erudite gob and much micky taking humour...

Just reminding people what is really behind Tufton Street and the Adam Smith supporters
What's wrong with doing that?
Your glorious leader was saying the same thing today, you know the senior one across the pond, "We can have four times as much trade with the UK" he declared.
Imagine the damage that will do to our economy!
And his glove puppet here is all for it too!
And picking on someone you have labelled inferior is so in tune with right wing thinking, isn't it?
Boris Johnson vows to close the North-South divide with new rail links
Boris Johnson made a brazen pitch to Labour's Leave-leaning heartlands - saying they had been 'failed' by politicians and the referendum had been a vote against the London establishment.
Sheffield to Manchester needs some improvement. Must be largest cities in country without direct motorway link. But its a start. About time North had some money spent on infrastructure.
Oh sure, it's just the usual hot air, and where is the money coming from?Boris Johnson vows to close the North-South divide with new rail links

I haven't been beastly to you at all, simply treated you with the respect you deserve
Stop being a dick.
Second reply. See this extract from Edward Heath's speech on the subject, which was widely quoted from back then. Please read it for the truth:
"Throughout my political career, if I may add one personal remark, it is well known that I have had the vision of a Britain in a united Europe; a Britain which would be united economically to Europe and which would be able to influence decisions affecting our own future, and which would enjoy a better standard of life and a fuller life. I have worked for a Europe which will play an increasing part in meeting the needs of those parts of the world which still lie in the shadow of want. I want Britain as a member of a Europe which is united politically, and which will enjoy lasting peace and the greater security which would ensue. Nor do I believe that the vision of Europe is an unworthy vision, or an ignoble vision or an unworthy cause for which to have worked. I have always made it absolutely plain to the British people that consent to this course would be given by Parliament. Parliament is the Parliament of all the people. When we came to the end of the
negotiations in 1963, after the veto had been imposed, the negotiator on behalf of India said: When you left India some people wept. And when you leave Europe tonight some will weep. And there is no other people in the world of whom these things could be said. That was a tribute from the Indians to the British. But tonight when this House endorses this Motion many millions of people right across the world will rejoice that we have taken our rightful place in a truly United Europe."
That left no doubts whatsoever in my mind as to our future unity with Europe. Sadly the general public as usual took no notice due to lack of interest in Europe, but that was and always will be their fault. No amount of false protests that "We were never told" changes that fact.
And Heath's was far from the only similar speech at the time, others have already been quoted in this thread.
