    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Or it is on the table but not willing to admit it. Trump said it was and the look he got from May was 'shut the fuck up'. He then backtracked. My take on it was Trump once again couldn't help shoot his mouth off when he shouldn't. It may be packaged as non-privatisation to make it more...

    As was my fear and why I didn't favour it. I really fear we could end up with some very shit policies in other areas due to this.

    I very much doubt it. If they could choose different voting ages etc why not a completely different electoral system like PV or AV? Needs to be standardised. But having said that the US elections have different ways of giving out their electoral college votes for different states.

    But it depends on how they define 'market driven'. They can argue 'market driven' for tendering a contract. If you win the contract then you've got it made - you have the market to yourself by law and how many of those contracts don't end up costing more than the tender price? Market driven is...

    One thing that confused me is having the election on a Monday. I thought they were always done on Thursdays? Still yet to work out why three days makes any fucking difference. Winter election more likely to favour Tories IMO. Elderly may not want to get out and vote but will postal vote...

    And this is why Leavers need to be careful what they wish for. Scotland has a large independence movement and voted very heavily for remain. NI have just been thrown under a bus and also voted remain. Their issues regarding independence are all to well-known. If they're both emboldened expect...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The fear is that rather than have a list of allowed drugs and the doctors etc can prescribe those which they feel are best for the patient. Under a trade deal a company could be given exclusive rights to produce certain drugs and effectively give them a monopoly, allowing them to charge what...

    When that happens will it not be jumped on as 'avoiding Brexit' or 'anti-Brexit' - deflecting from the issue at hand? They're important and vital aspects of a GE but at some point someone will bring it back to Brexit

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I've said elsewhere that if anything the UK should be looking into further control of the supply chain regarding the NHS, not the other way round. I've advocated a state-owned pharma company that would have the right to produce drugs for the NHS which could be passed on at cost or at the very...

    That's not a list of who he considers best. He considers them genuine. Competency is another question entirely. I would genuinely love to redevelop Coventry city centre and make it a bustling busy place and destination. Doesn't mean I'd be competent enough to do so.

    How many actual MP's can you name off the top of your head? The most genuine are more likely to be those lesser heard of. They're not in it for the prestige or the power - they want to make the country a better place. There will be differences in opinion of how that should be done but the...

    Watson for Dabo. Unchanged elsewhere except for hopefully Hiwula on bench - weren't many attacking options last time around. Think we'll milk them and get three pints...sorry points.

    Sometimes it's not that simple. Decisions could be taken on other areas and contracts signed etc that would either take years to dismantle or would be sent through the courts. Similar the other way round if we decided to do something like renationalise the railways What if in the next five...

    WA is Brexit stage 1. There is then the issue of negotiating/renegotiating all the other trade deals around the world as well as deciding which bits of the EU legislation written into UK law will be repealed and amended. Plus there will be things that we will need to remove ourselves from at a...

    She would also have been the one convicted for pre-marital sex. Her fault for not being prudish enough that the bloke couldn't control himself.
