It's neither right nor wrong to make any of the above suggestions. It's up to individual people to decide whether the suggestion is viable. Personally I never expected the money we send to the EU to go to any particular cause. It just meant it was money we were no longer obliged to pay to the EU, it could be spent on projects in the UK, & if we didn't think the government was spending it wisely we (collectively, democratically) could get rid of them. Looks like you failed that test then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps I should have qualified my statement by saying " or below the age of 8". Let's go the the swings. Let's watch "Finding Nemo" Let's go and have a pizza. You are going to have a really fecked-up granddaughter if you play those games with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the opposite ought to be true. I am trying to get that one simple truth installed, before I go any further. THEN, we can think about optimising our own tariffs and quotas to suit our own needs. Are you suggesting our food is expensive? We have incredibly cheap food already. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45559594 Quote Britons spend an average of 8% of their total household expenditure on food to eat at home. This is less than any other country apart from the US and Singapore, according to data from market research firm Euromonitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzb Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 14 hours ago, dugsbody said: Not going to work. The problem here is that they're taking at face value the lies of the brexit campaign that it was about trade deals and EU laws. 99.9% of people couldn't describe what a trade deal is and why it would be better to have deals outside of what we currently have, bar a few soundbites they've learned to parrot off the internet. Neither could they name any of these detrimental laws bar the same parroting. What they care about is stopping foreign people from moving here and since the rest of Europe actually really likes being able to move around Europe, we're not going to convince them to change that to suit the UK. Once we end freedom of movement we'll hear the collective brexiter human mass breath a big sigh of relief that they can give up pretending to care about trade deals and EU laws, get back to their reality TV and let the politicians get on with dealing with that boring stuff. I posted Leave Means Lead as a public service to forum members. It does not mean I support it. The lead persons seem to be Maurice Saatchi and Gina Miller, both ardent Remainers. CoVI was telling us last week there is a plan to delay A50 for 5 years, address the concerns of Leavers in that time, then have another referendum. When this Leave Means Lead was featured on C4 News, I thought this must be it. Your post is in no way germane to the discussion. Your arguments do not address what LML aims to do. Please stick to the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
