ErsatzThistle Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Pro-EU and anti-EU Conservative MPs were arguing amongst themselves today in the Commons. And don't worry, yesterday they were arguing that bringing back the royal yacht would do wonders for the help the UK's trade worldwide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like a John from Aberdeen idea. Watching News at 10, Tesco have pulled Unilever products after they demanded a 10% price rise due to weak Sterling...

One of the Tory MP's (Charles Gray) got really upset at the SNP's Deidre Brock for calling the ship "it" as opposed to "she". And another Tory nutter (Gerald Howarth) together with the Ulster loyalist saddos started growling when she brought up the cost of this madness and the fact that the sun set on the empire a long time ago.

I think the idea that our government is genuinely giving money to other countries with no strings attached aid very far fetched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically the Tories have always cut the aid budget in relative terms, but when Cameron came to power it increased (see above). Why? Have the Tories suddenly become great humanitarians, or was this just another way for them to funnel state money to their pals in big business and the arms industry?

Ally Bongo Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Alex Andreou Verified account @sturdyAlex Long chat with senior Brussels contact. "While Britain dithers, a real consensus has emerged here to make Brexit as punishing as possible". Alex Andreou Verified account @sturdyAlex Brexit, he tells me, is seen primarily as the betrayal of an alliance, during a very difficult time geopolitically; it won't be forgotten. Alex Andreou Verified account @sturdyAlex Interestingly, he tells me Brussels is not broadly hoping the UK will change its mind, nor would they accept a U-turn without consequences.
