  1. Do you think the DUP, holding the balance of power, know what's best for Britain, ( or England, seeing as Wales and Scotland have a degree of self governance ) ?
  2. The Prime Minister is the person who nominally controls enough votes to maintain a Commons majority of 1, and is appointed PM by the Queen on that basis. This does not necessarily mean the leader of the party with the most seats, and does not preclude a PM running a minority Government. And as for your other point about 'voting out an elected Parliament', research Fixed Term Parliaments, it's virtually impossible to get rid before the 5 year term, ( unless the PM has a suicide wish like Tessy May last time around ).
  3. Airbus probably have selfish ulterior motives behind their stance on Brexit, as do many others on both sides, ( including some posters on here ).
  4. They already build wings for A319s and A320s in China.
  5. Oh dear, maybe things won't be as rosy, post Brexit, as Mrs May wishes; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44570931
  6. See, you can make sensible points.
  7. In 2016 we paid £13.1 billion into the EU budget, so that comes to just shy of £252m per week. According to the House of Commons Library, we paid exactly the same amount in 2017. ( Unless, of course, the HoC is making up numbers ). https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CBP-7886
  8. £350 million is a "made up number".
  9. overboard
  10. The player made his own decision, why does it have to be a Les Reed f-up?
  11. Pity the horse didn't kick the idiots passing on it's left, and the ones passing on the right were too close and too fast.
  12. Perhaps you could explain how, in your understanding, Teresa May is going to find the money to deliver the additional NHS money; how much will the 'Brexit dividend' prove to be, ( clue - it won't be £350m per week ), and how much might therefore be left for the tax payer ?
  13. So we won't get back £350m per week will we, we will recover the amount nett of applying the rebate. Therefore, anybody claiming we would be £350m per week 'better off' is lying.
  14. And the £350mill is a complete fabrication.
  15. But the big question is, what is the net amount of 'saving' that is available to spend ? It is almost certainly much less than the £350million per week, taking into account the 'rebate' and payments the UK recieves from the EU, and that basic figure also excludes any potential economic hit consequential to leaving the EU trading bloc.
  16. Well, either she is right or the PM is, and with what has been published/quoted so far, I think it's Mrs May who is playing Pinocchio.
  17. Try not to believe everything that the PM makes up.
  18. Sarah Woolaston MP, ( Conservative ), says that Mrs May is talking "tosh", and the IFS says there will be 'no Brexit dividend'. Even Mrs May hinted that some of the 'extra' money will have to be generated through taxation, and in real terms the 3.4 % is less than the average annual rise that the NHS has historically experienced.
  19. But nontheless, correct.
  20. So basically, like, it's when, you know, people sort of, kinda, you know, basically fail to totally use propa wordz and, like, stuff.
  21. 2 items from the BBC earlier this week; "Pound falls on weak economic figures" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44438838 "Economic growth struggles as manufacturing dips" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44438839
  22. At last.
  23. I did point out that it was too subtle. GM has an American understanding of irony.
