Comrie Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Quote We will take back full control of our money which we will be able to spend on our priorities such as the NHS. We will leave EU regional funding programmes – with the UK deciding how we spend this money in the future. I bet all those regions will be delighted now they'll be getting absolutely heehaw off the Westminster government now.

ICTJohnboy Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 8 hours ago, Granny Danger said: The idea that she should get ANY credit for working hard for a really bad deal is undoubtedly the stupidest argument doing the rounds at this stage; it’s sad to see it being repeated on here. I agree it is a bad deal - no matter which side you are on - but I suspect she is winning the media over with the effort she is putting into this. She can hardly be accused of being a shirker unlike JC. 4 hours ago, Granny Danger said: It’s interesting that May is trying to bypass MPs and appeal directly to ‘the people’, yet she is unwilling to give these same people a vote. I think she will fail because the loudest voices will be those of the Gammon persuasion and I think they know what a shit deal this is. To me this is very reminiscent of Gordon Brown appealing directly to the people of Scotland immediately prior to the Indyref. Some would argue that his intervention had an effect on the outcome as the polls had both camps virtually neck and neck - it didn't affect me - my mind was already made up, but I do wonder if many, or any were influenced by that intervention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair given his track record I could understand folk thinking he meant it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the Daily Mail who changed their position with their editor which other media outlet has become more sympathetic? Secondly it’s not the people who are taking the decision at this stage. If May thinks that people are going to start contacting their MPs in droves asking them to vote for this shambles then she’s delusional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to throw it back in their faces. No harm at all in constantly pointing out how utterly powerless the Scottish Tory MP's are, and their reeking hypocrisy in promising the earth to the fishermen of the north east before the last GE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at all those who completely swallowed all the BS profered by Boris and his mates and voted Leave.
