Why aren't the Russians funding it??????? apparently, and according to the remoaners they funded the Brexit campaign and elected Trump. I'd go on the march but my Russian handlers wont let me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My employer released good news today to the work force, Bringing production from Austria to the UK. i cant go into details for obvious reasons but watch the news our teaming up with Japanese automotive electric battery tech firm and Waymo self-driving technology is yielding excellent results. will announce £hundred millions of investment in the UK. (will it make the news??) despite Brexit!!!!! well Govt to incentives investment post Brexit as played apart understandably i cant divulge. major price deferential for UK vehicles v's EU vehicles. its a shot across the EUs bow. The UK Govt does the same in other sectors and the EU will face stiff competition. It doesn't matter Stevewinn. We're not going to Brexit.

In my mind it's about holding the government to account and making sure there is a strong Leave presence around Parliament on the 29th.... a pro active move.... even if there is an extension of Article 50... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithisco Posted March 2, 2019 Author #5164 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Just a reminder why Leave won the referendum and why the focus by Remain on supposed economic benefits is spurious because the costs of such is too high: Quote Chancellor Merkel said in 2012, "Without doubt, we need more and not less Europe. That's why it is necessary to create a political union." She said, "The task of our generation is to complete economic and monetary union, and to build political union in Europe, step by step." She said, "We need a political union, which means we must gradually cede powers to Europe and give Europe control." In January 2014, European Commission Vice-President Viviane Reding said, "we need to build a United States of Europe with the Commission as government." Commission President José Manuel Barroso said on 10 July 2015, "We are a very special construction unique in the history of mankind … Sometimes I like to compare the EU as a creation to the organisation of empire. We have the dimension of empire." French President François Hollande asked us in October 2015, "Do you really want to participate in a common state? That's the question." As he said, "The only road for those who are not convinced of Europe is to leave Europe…. It is the logical path." Martin Schulz, President of the EU Parliament, said that he wanted to move the EU swiftly to a 'one government' federal constitution and wanted to turn the EU into a 'United States of Europe' by 2025. "I want there to be a constitutional treaty to create a federal Europe," he said on 7 December 2017. The European Commission said, "the main goal of the EU is the progressive integration of member states' economies and political systems." The Commission wants complete Economic Union, Monetary Union, Financial Union, Fiscal Union and Political Union by 2025 at the latest, 'developed within the framework of the European Union'. The EU is not about cooperation but about assimilation. There is a difference between cooperating with other nations and being merged into a single European state. Internationalism is not the same as supranationalism. Cooperation between sovereign states does not mean integration into one state. Britain is a member of more than 90 international cooperative bodies. Only one of them wants to absorb us into a single state. The EU is like the Borg inStar Trek: The Next Generation - an alien force which seeks to assimilate all other life forms while pretending just to be cooperating with them. In the 2016 referendum campaign, David Cameron, like Edward Heath before him, avoided any talk of the EU's aim of creating a single European state. In the 1975 referendum campaign, Heath tried to keep the pro-EEC campaign focused on the supposed economic benefits of our staying in the single market. He told us that we were only joining a market. Similarly, in the 2016 campaign, Cameron tried to keep the pro-EU campaign focused on the supposed economic benefits of our staying in the EU. He only ever talked about the EU as a market. He told us that a vote to stay in the EU was only a vote to stay in the Single Market. He ducked every question about the EU as a political union. But what market ever demanded that its members abolish their own citizenship, their own armed forces and their own currency? What market needs its own passport, its own flag, its own national anthem, its own central bank, its own president and its own parliament? The EU was never just a market. The aim has always been to become a political union, using the supposed benefits of a Single Market to tempt the individual member nations, like using a sprat to catch the mackerel Source: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithisco Posted March 2, 2019 Author #5165 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Remain voting MP Tobias Ellwood (Cons. Bournemouth East) is another Tory whose constituency voted Leave but will do anything to keep the UK in the EU via the backdoor: Quote Mr Ellwood, who backed the PM's deal in the first Commons vote in January, told the Radio 4 podcast that the UK would be in "uncharted territory" if it did not leave on 29 March. But he said the days of Mrs May having to "bend over backwards" to placate the European Research Group of Brexiteer Tory MPs, many of whom believe a no-deal exit is better for the UK in the long term, were over. "I hope it is very clear that if it was the European Research Group's intent to take us to no deal, we will stop that, whenever," he said. "No deal is not good for Britain. It will damage Britain in so many ways. No deal is not something we can contemplate." 'Shoved around' Mr Ellwood said he would not quit over the issue and urged Tory MPs who wanted to keep close links to the EU to stay and fight for their beliefs, suggesting the tide was moving in their direction. "If we are then to seek some form of consensus in Parliament that honours the referendum result then you are probably looking at an even softer form of Brexit than we have currently got," he added. Source: For him the "Backstop" is not a problem because it hands additional Sovereignty to the EU Commission. This is how Bournemouth East voted at the Referendum with the highest turnout of electorate in history. Ellwood needs to answer to his Constituency Commission for failing to represent his Constituents. De-selection is on the cards methinks The total number of ballot papers counted was 91998 The number of votes cast in favour of REMAIN was 41473 The number of votes cast in favour of LEAVE was 50453 The number of ballot papers rejected was as follows:- No official mark 0 Both answers voted for 31 Writing or mark by which the voter could be identified 1 Unmarked or void for uncertainty 39 The total number of ballot papers rejected was 71 The turnout was 69.3% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote France, Germany agree on joint proposal for euro zone budget BERLIN (Reuters) - France and Germany have agreed a detailed proposal for a euro zone budget to boost growth, strengthen competitiveness and lower the development gap between individual member states, a German government document showed on Friday. i thought there was 19 members in the Euro? nice the way the Franco German dictate policy for the rest. i doubt many smaller members will have to go along with it. otherwise the taps will be turned off. No doubt the fear both Germany and France have that the next collapse will finish the euro plays apart. no doubt the way to fix the problem is ever closer union. as as been the case in every 'crisis' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... you miss the point about democratic voting. Those who do not vote do not get factored into the equation so: 1. 50.48% voted to Leave 2. 45.08% voted to Remain What people may have learned in the interim is that the Political Project known as the EU is basically a "busted flush" which takes members tax money and consistently fails to account for 3-4 Billion pounds, charges its own Commissioners only a flat 10% tax, and already behaves like it is a State (which it is not). I am confident that any future referendum (god forbid) would return an identical result or a larger Leave margin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
