  1. A similar thing didn't happen to my daughter when she showed support to some EU citizens on FaceBook, she was told to 'go back to where you come from'. The antagonist had no further response to her posting 'What, Blackpool ?'.
  2. To be accurate, the funding is planned to increase year on year so that in 5 years time it will be that much higher than today, not allowing for inflation. It is not £33bn in the next financial year.
  3. #headinsand #nonesoblind
  4. Pants
  5. Don't be so touchy, it was an attempt at a light-hearted comment. You Brexiteers should stop being so angry and aggressive - you won ffs !
  6. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/dec/17/johnson-bans-ministers-from-davos-in-nod-to-working-class-voters "Johnson also asked his colleagues “how many new hospitals are we going to build?” with the cabinet answering back in unison “40”. He then asked: “How many more nurses are we going to hire?” They chanted back: “50,000.”" Oh no you're not ! ( Well, it is panto season ). As for forming a 'People's Government', how very Communist Central Committee. Jeremy Corbyn must be spitting feathers as his mantra gets hijacked.
  7. No you wouldn't, but it would make misery easier to bear.
  8. Boris continuing to 'play a blinder'; "THE pound has plummeted against the euro and US dollar with Boris Johnson set to throw down the gauntlet to the EU." https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/1218217/pound-to-euro-exchange-rate-GBP-sterling-US-dollar-Brexit-no-deal-boris-johnson I wonder if anyone will reply claiming that I don't really understand that this is all just posturing, and that both the EU and the UK will now work all the harder to ensure that no-deal does not, in fact, happen.
  9. 340,000 leave votes in NI, population of Gib approx 35,000. Still leaves over two and a half million.
  10. No, just pointing out a statistical curiosity. And please don't blaspheme.
  11. Anybody to the left of Genghis Khan.
  12. We can but hope.
  13. Has he now emerged from the coffin he's been locked into for the election campaign ?
  14. Trump has always insisted that he wants to reverse the current trade deficit that the US has with the UK.
  15. Over 3 million fewer people voted Tory in the GE than voted for Brexit in the referendum.
  16. WTO may be fine by you, but it is almost certainly not ideal for the rest of the country.
  17. Was Ings's goal disallowed because he was outside the penalty area when he scored ?
  18. Swap him for a traffic cone, it would still be an improvement.
  19. Most would imply a majority, so not the vote of any of the parties in the GE.
  20. 30% of the electorate, not of votes cast. And 3 million fewer votes for the Conservatives than voted for Brexit in the referendum.
  21. A trade deal strictly on the USA's terms.
  22. The Will of the People ? 30% of the electorate voted for Boris.
  23. Senior MPs who lose their seats do not end up unemployed, and quite often end up earning far more than they did at Westminster.
  24. Bugger social media, why is it that throughout the campaign the only people who knocked on our door to canvass opinion were the Jehovah's Witnesses ?
