You didn't think they'll get anything after the two year extension they were talking about do you? Because them, and the former coal fields will receive sod all after that. Not a bean. Why would they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It cannot be granted by the capitalist class, for this is not socialism but bribery to Remain in line. Another electioneering slogan 3 minutes ago, Gormenghast said: From the 4bn that the EU deign to give us back from the 8bn net we pay in. And you say it’s not a right wing issue.

The bus said it and everything.  I know how the money went to the EU, I'm asking why you think a Tory government will give money to deprived labour voting areas, unless of course they need something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If the voters don't like it, they can boot them out in an election. It's call democracy. Our elected government should distribute our taxes, not an EU government.

Which have both PR departments, and shareholders. I'll let you conclude which has the most influence.  Why would they lie? Three already offer free roaming in many countries, including many NOT in the EU (e.g. USA) in which they are not legally compelled to offer free roaming. They have publicly stated they will continue to offer this service after brexit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As I said, that's up to the government and the electorate that voted for them. It's not up to the EU, to take £8bn from us and redistribute 50% of it back to where THEY choose.

The decisions are collectively made by 28 countries.  Even outside the EU you’re going to pay in.  What is your fundamental problem with it?
