But we'll have to cough up the money to continue financially supporting the farmers. Edited October 7, 2018 by ads36 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Top Cats Hat   10 #4034 Posted October 7, 2018  Have you been living on the moon the people voted to LEAVE  Once again do I have to point out that 25% of the people (38% of the electorate) voted to leave?  The majority of 'the people' DID NOT vote to leave.

You have to to forgive Top Cat because he seems to have a repetitive misunderstanding problem, which has a side effective of repeating an irrelevant statistic regarding the UK and Global democratic process. The fact which Top Cat ignores is only votes actually cast count. Edited October 7, 2018 by Lockdoctor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

woodview   10 #4038 Posted October 7, 2018 and where do you think our Tory government would prefer to spend money ? On extending the M67 between Manchester and Sheffield, to improve journey times between two major Northern cities ?  Or spend £tens of billions on providing Crossrail 2 to the South East ? So, vote them out. We should be making sure our elected officials do what we want with our money. Delegating the responsibility to the EU isn't the answer.

tinfoilhat   11 #4040 Posted October 7, 2018 So, vote them out. We should be making sure our elected officials do what we want with our money.

The UK electorate had the choice of voting for the Lib Dems in the last general election, but democratically decided they were not the ruling UK party to form a government.

tinfoilhat   11 #4043 Posted October 7, 2018 The UK electorate had the choice of voting for the Lib Dems in the last general election, but democratically decided they were not the ruling UK party to form a government.  As you are quick to point out, not everything is about brexit. Both the main parties have great support but massive fault lines running through them although they have alot of support mainly from partisan idiots. Lib dems aren't in much better shape.  Shambles.  ---------- Post added 07-10-2018 at 17:48 ----------  Its frightening aint it.  This Government is shocking, but the alternative is as bad.  It's odd we agree but we do although probably for very different reasons.

woodview   10 #4044 Posted October 7, 2018 Look at choice we've got at the moment though. Just look at them. True. At best, the choice is picking the least useless. France is now governed ny a new party. Maybe time for big changes here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
