I think all outstanding contracts will be allowed to run. Where we could and probably will lose out is on future funding and we will lose a mechanism that allows us to lend money and earn interest in the EU. Pretty sure I read somewhere (astute might want a blue peter badge later though if my...

I’m glad that you’ve acknowledged that migrant children having to be taken to school under police escort to stop locals attacking them is as a direct result of migration. If you hadn’t have joined the dots I’d never have worked it out. Now. Meanwhile back in the real world do you think it’s OK...

Are you saying it isn’t £16B? If it ain’t it ain’t. I was going from memory as I made clear in my post so never stated it as fact. If it’s wrong it’s wrong, I’ll give you that. I can live with it.

The article also says states “balanced and steady development of the internal market in the interest of the Union” Click the link for more background. What’s this to do with £16B a year.

The EIB shareholders are the member states of the EU. As we’ll no longer be in the EU that would seem to scupper anything past what we’re already contractually obligated to. It is possible that projects in the U.K. will be able to borrow further money after brexit but as I understand it the...

Yes and yes.

Is this Oskarshamn in Sweden where migrant children have to have a police escort to school so they don’t get attacked by locals? Did your “friend” tell you about that at the same time?

We’re currently a shareholder in the EIB. I’d imagine that we are under contract with the EIB rather than governed by EU legislation on outstanding matters with the EIB.

We also won’t have any further borrowing from the EIB. The EIB being a major investor in UK infrastructure and house building. I’m sure I read somewhere that it’s something like £16B a year that’s going to have to be found from alternative sources.

Although to be fair if the party had have rallied behind him he may just have won. Not a landslide but maybe by enough. The bickering within the party made them unelectable in many people’s eyes.

You seem to be confusing enough with more. They don’t amount to the same thing and quite often in real terms equate to a cut when all things are considered.

Try googling Winston Churchill and the United States of Europe. Then try not to be too disappointed when the penny drops that the EU as it is isn’t actually a million miles away from what Winston Churchill envisaged.

They’re former colonies not our colonies. We did plunder them for anything from spices to minerals to slavery. The culture there also helped shape our culture today which some on here seem to resent happening again. The commonwealth meant bringing all the wealth back to England. People think...

Bit of a nothing budget really. Other than confirmation that the magic money tree has sprouted a couple of more branches. Hardly surprising given the amount of horse shit the government feed it.

I did answer your question. It’s an issue with enforcement. Again the government can address this should they wish. Britain would still be less attractive than at least half a dozen other EU countries when you compare the U.K. minimum wage to others and the numbers have always reflected the...

Out of touch? So the government can’t adjust the minimum wage? If people are being paid less than the minimum wage then that’s an issue with enforcement. Now who’s responsible for enforcing it I wonder? Must be the EU or immigrants.

Ok I’ll dumb this down for you. You’re clearly not aware of the systems that are in place under U.K. law. The government have control over something called minimum wage. It’s the minimum an employer in the U.K. is allowed to pay their workers. The government have the freedom to set these...

Women being forced into prostitution to feed their children isn’t a cultural issue, it’s a lack of compassion to help them not get into that vulnerable position through no fault of their own issue. Unless you’re suggesting that a lack of compassion is our cultural issue? I watched some news...

Define safe? Because I think you have a different definition to me. There was many vulnerable children and women in camps in Turkey that were taken advantage of. It wasn’t just Turkey they crossed the border to and in other countries they were even more vulnerable. Especially to extortion and...

I made my point. You’ve somehow missed it.
