Brexiteers have been shown to be prejudiced, stupid or naive. Some seem to have all the traits, some just a one. Money is very tight in the economy at the moment and I suspect into the new year it’s going to get even tougher still.
Or in normal speak, whatever duke says, the opposite is true. The Guardian, the bastion of those who think democracy works only when they win, Have a fair article today looking at the europe many leavers saw coming. Worth a read if you have a moment. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/04/brexit-sideshow-for-eu-beset-by-problems
Even Banks himself now admits he would vote Remain in a second vote. Mr Banks was also asked about a report in the Sunday Times that he would back Remain if the 2016 referendum were re-run. He replied: "What I said was that the corruption I have seen in British politics, the sewer that exists and the disgraceful behaviour of the government over what they are doing with Brexit and how they are selling out, means that if I had my time again I think we would have been better to probably remain and not unleash these demons."
"What is worrying about these “charges” is that Foreign Remain contributors funnelled large sums of money through UK subsidiaries and this has not been questioned by the Electoral Commission or the Media. The start-up funding for the Stronger In campaign was provided by Goldman Sachs, the US Investment Bank. Other US Investment Banks such as JP Morgan (Where Tony Blair is £2m a year International Director), Citigroup and Morgan Stanley also contributed large sums. Irish RyanAir, French Eurostar and Airbus and the huge US comms company Liberty Global also backed Stronger In. Click on the links above, the foreign contributions are all clearly documented but the Media are being strangely quiet about it. What is worse, using an Isle of Man company or a UK subsidiary to massage foreign funding into the Referendum? The accounts of the Stronger In Campaign – the official Remain Campaign – to the 31st August 2016 show £19.6m of spending on the referendum but only £6.7m of this is recorded by the Electoral Commission as being spent on the Referendum. There can be no doubt that the timing of when donations had to be declared and the wording of the rules for the Referendum campaign were designed to benefit the Remain campaign massively. If we just add the Government spending on pro-EU leaflets and the Stronger In accounts figures to Remain spending it is clear that Remain outspent Leave by perhaps £20m over the whole, real, Referendum period. It is very worrying that the campaigns by the EU to reverse the Irish referendums used exactly the same technique of smearing major contributors for instance by using “..a whispering campaign in the US media suggesting that Ganley is being funded by arms dealers in the US linked to the US military.” (See EU Second Referendums). Why are UK journalists failing to draw parallels between the UK and Irish experience and failing to expose the huge Remain foreign contributions?" http://www.dailyglobe.co.uk/comment...zgs9uQo8thsYaZw3pRlNejWko1XsQ_VOLhjpz8MSO5q64
clearly your the guy thats been locked away for 40years. i thought you guys where clued up on these things? the 160mill was allocated to Scottish farmers but payed to the uk gov as its the member, the uk gov gave it to English farmers only. not unusual behavior for the uk gov and uk party's when in power. citing their money was cut there fore you get nothing. wtf? anyhoo, no biggie.
I think most are clued up fin but do not as you do, see everything as a anti Scottish conspiracy. You miss this was part of the we send it but don't send it money. They all do mixie matchie fin. How often have you heard the snp government saying even recently, "we have massive cuts in Scotland due to the tory government and services are failing"...Only to find out they had a massive underspend of £339 million in areas that were starved of money https://www.itv.com/news/2018-09-27/scottish-government-reveals-budget-underspend-of-almost-340m/
yip, heard some use the anti Scottish angle, i see it more a case of, their votes aint needed therefore they don't matter.. similar could be said about many areas in the uk, the south west and much of wales, north England to, difference being, the opposition need to bend to the south's needs if they are ever gonna get elected to gov. our party dont. they argue our case. seems fair. no? the under spend is a necessity, we cant borrow, therefore some has to be left over for emergence's. in the past the under spend was sent back to Whitehall .by the labour.liberal coalition govs, (our gov election system is set up in such away that it is near impossible to elect a majority gov) the np dont. the lab/lib coalitions sent back 1.4bill to Whitehall, thats a lot of money for a population of 5mill, because they couldn't think what to spend it on. wtf? all the while racking up mountains of PFI debt wtfx2. .
Fin, the best way I can sum up your obsession, when it comes to how the snp manage Scotland, they do it in the same way as others in charge, or to use a Ducati euphemism, They all do that sir.
no they dont. but almost all that love to piss, moan and post, are ignorant to the facts they piss,moan and post about, mostly based on the pish you and yours fill our pages with.
Loz I have concerns over your partnership with fin in his business. He promised the world and now seems to deny it, promised company transport and now thinks that telling you to get on your bike, is the same thing but most worrying, is that whilst you will be knocking your socks off to promote his business, he will be sitting in his office with his cat, on the internet leaving you with this as your future partner whilst he talks about men in skirts
not obsessed with it noob, but when i aint too busy idon't mind exposing it. our media reeks of it, its generally accepted that since the the 2007 election they have all been working overtime to discredit the separatists. since brexit our media, particularity the BBC have been grossly underplaying brexit because it strengthens the case for indi. these are not the voiced opinions of the snp, they dont have a voice in the MSM, or indeed any Scottish MP. it came from an English lord, probably a remainer who, when intervened, went off script with BBc Scot and tore them new one for pulling the wool over the eyes of their listeners regarding the impact of brexit on Scotland. or, i just made it up. meh, who cares.
Translated, I'm letting all the paper work pile up for when loz comes into the partnership To be fair fin, your lot have provided an awful lot of shoot themselves in the foot moments, sometimes I see things and it makes Trump look like a good politician Gladly swap them for our BBC fin, honestly, they act like millennial hipsters who have had their frothymappachino drunk by a non vegan, biased hate mongers down here The trouble is when we had old news, there was two or three channels showing it at peak times 9am, 6pm, 10pm and then between we carried out our usual life. Now the market is flooded with 24 hour news sources official and unofficial but more worrying is that there is little diversity because they are focusing in on markets to guaranty advertising.
yip, but we are talking bout our state broadcaster here, not some commercial outfit. anyhoo if there was any genuine comparison to trump you would of had yer tongue well and truly jammed up their hoop by now... brw, some interesting stats going around the now, no?
the trouble is, far too many people now judge their life by the next 5 minutes, the next news update so when something changes, it's a flick of the switch reaction. A bit like credit vs saving cash, some are unable to see the long game. Politics seems to be going through the change most people agreed politics needed, but depending what side you are on, it's great/bad. Can you imagine the first industrial revolution happening with today's mindset, or even stepping in to save europe when Hitler went into Poland? We as Brits are proving more stubborn than Ireland and Holland when the eu found a way to over turn votes against the eu but Italy gets it and more are starting too
the EU didnt twist their arm, they gave them the opportunity to reflect and stubbornness isnt always seen as a virtue, tho it seems there's a wee divide developing, it seems we, up here are stubbornly sticking to remain while there seems to be a swing to remain on your side. how is May gonna save her party now?
