I'm sure they'd be a little annoyed if they found the promised security wasn't in place and the bonds had gone into default.

Again thats not what is being said but surely, as a generalisation, its easier for people to know what is meant but things staying exactly as they are versus taking a leap into the unknown. I'm sure there's people who voted remain who had the most out there ideas of what would happen if they...

According to the Treasury are gross contribution is £17.8bn (£342m a week). However since 1984 we've paid less than the 1% of GDP everyone else pays. We get a rebate which is currently £4.9bn. So that's £12.9bn (£248m a week). But we don't actually pay the money and then get the rebate we pay...

Voting remain was voting for things to stay the same. I think most people can cope with working out what that means. Voting leave was a leap into the unknown. We had, and still don't have, any idea what exit agreement the UK will make with the EU, we don't know what agreement the UK will make...

Well as voting remain meant things staying the same it wasn't too hard to work out.

Except I never made that statement. This thread has numerous posts stating that those who voted leave knew exactly what brexit meant and exactly what they were and won't voting for.

Right so your assertion is that nobody who say constant reference to £350m a week to the NHS if we leave voted believing the NHS would get the money being promised?

Before this descends in to the usual circular argument this is the relevant bit from the bonds And from the accounts On the face of it he does seem to have a point as what is in the accounts isn't an independent appraisal. I assume there's an obvious answer though as I can't imagine they've...

Didn't say that, I said it was very different to £350m. And is £136m a week going to the NHS as they were saying the whole £350m a week was. The war comment was pretty ridiculous, although there are those who will argue that the EU has prevented further conflict within Europe. As for the rest...

If the court decides all UK devolved parliaments must vote then if any one of them votes against continuing with brexit that's it, doesn't matter what the rest vote. Given that both Scotland and NI voted no I'd say its pretty risky for May, assuming this isn't all a plan to stop brexit happening.

So everyone knew exactly what vote leave meant but two of the most high profile figures of the leave campaign, Farage and Johnson, had totally different views. Has there ever been a more blatant lie than the official vote leave bus having £350m to the NHS plastered down the side of it. We don't...

How have you worked that out? Scotland voted remain, if the Scottish parliament rules with the majority in the country they are the parliament of they will vote against invoking article 50.

So it looks like May could have shot herself in the foot by appealing to court. Scotlands Lord Advocate is applying to speak at the trial. This could very well lead to a ruling that not only does it have to be voted on in the Commons but also in the UK's devolved parliaments.

Seating was £15 at Morecombe wasn't it? £12 for standing.

Maybe some people voted for that extra £350m a week on the NHS we were going to spend. Farage, Johnson, Gove and the others were falling over each other in the rush to distance themselves from campaign claims as soon as leave won.

That's the one, looks pretty interesting. Don't know if they're going to go straight into the second series to get caught up with the US.

Couple of similar things on C4 this Thursday that could be worth a watch. 9pm is a documentary about British prisons, supposedly a lot of it was filmed illegally by prisoners using mobiles. Then at 10pm the first episode of 60 days in jail. Its an American doc where they put 7 innocent members...

Oddly when they seem to be struggling to fill time next weeks is a feature length episode.

Don't agree with that at all. How many people, if they were unexpectedly to lose their jobs, could sustain themselves through a few months of unemployment. If you have a mortgage that's not covered by benefit. You're likely to have credit to pay, be it car loans, credit cards or something else...

I suppose the difference is with a general election you pretty much know what you're getting when you vote for a particular party. Of course they all spout rubbish but you pretty much know where you stand with any party. And of course the worse case scenario you only have to wait 4 years to...
