Still glad to be out of it... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ter-five-arrested-in-qatar-corruption-inquiry And that is under playing it.
The Tories have been a disaster for Britain politically and socially. There is nothing left for Brexiteers to hang onto. Nothing has improved, only the boss class benefitted from the chaos.
I disagree, but then, I was idealogical rather than capitalistic/materialistic in my reasons, like you lefties. We have enough issues with just the one layer of buraucracy, that the addition of a second (with all its corruption and scheming) seems the most ridiculous proposal possible. But how do you guys square your left wing politics with complaints that capitalism works better in the EU? How is it people who recognise that untempered government is the problem, think that a load more government is the answer? Bewildering.
Last night’s Question Time notable for the lifelong Tory who laid into Tory Brexit and JRM’s lies. To JRM. https://twitter.com/sunnygreenland/status/1603537849097355264?s=46&t=EBhHiVLKCx_xpiqe0P0iVw
The biggest scandal to hit the EU in decades, with offices sealed, money ceazed and officials imprisoned. Glad we're out of there. How can they govern corruption in twenty seven states when they can't even govern themselves? Question. Should we have a vote to include another layer of corruption on top of the corruption we already have?
I see hooter has put a post on here and I'll give you 10/1 it's about the EU corruption scandal. If so, isn't it marvelous that the EU can deal so firmly and quickly with malfeasance? In other news, Lady Mone is in Honduras which has no extradition treaty with her and hubby's £70m ill gotten gains, Owen Paterson is still in the employ of Randox, and Tory donor, previously won having an £11m contract to deliver PPE has been awarded a further £4.5m contract to dispose of unusable PPE. And Baroness Dido is currently sitting in the Lords being unable to trace any of the £37bn she spent on Test and Trace. Britain - leading the world. Europeans - rank amateurs.
If it was that great, mate, you would have been blabbing on about it, and not waited for me to bring it up. It's been going on for days and not a peep out of you lot. Word is, they are having to deal with it because it is only the tip of the iceburg. But look on the bright side. This could be the thing that drives reform in the EU.
Exactly this. The contrast between how the EU is dealing with these allegations of corruption and how the current UK government has dealt with the many scandals that have beset them is stark. Of course the EU is open to corruption. No one has ever claimed it is perfect. The politicians that are elected there are still politicians. There are bound to be some that are tempted by the fruits offered by the lobbyists. But the EU commission has responded swiftly and strongly. This will lead to prosecutions and massive reforms. The EU, as always, endeavours to be transparent and fair and acts immediately when it falls short. Meanwhile, in the UK, billions have been swindled from the taxpayer and Sunak writes it off with a shrug.
Having trouble finding a Brexit benefit? Well some people are definitely benefitting from it. David Frost trousered £26k, on top of his £104,000 salary, when he quit as Brexit negotiator: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news..._medium&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1671260481
This has been happening very near the top. When something like this explodes onto the scene, it is often as a reaction to the fact that it is rife, but has been successfully covered up for too long and could be contained no longer. Think Saville at the BBC. We’ll see. But in the mean time, I am enjoying the optics of you guys, on discovering gross high level corruption in the EU, choosing to laud the Council for its efficiencies, rather than condemn it for its naughtiness. Yeah. At least we know that the forum’s position on corruption now is “They all do it you know”. Imagine the display of petticoats if it had been a tory at the bottom of this, and not just a bunch of EU socialists.
That lower chart is particularly stomach churning as: The UK is mostly self-sufficient in gas (LNG/methane). We import very small quantities of gas and negligible quantities of Russian gas.
This is what the architects of Brexit meant by turbo-charged Britain. A country free from any oversight when it wants to rip off the population sector by sector.
These charts are bogus - prices are set in global markets, over which the UK government has no control................................................
The charts show household energy prices; so the data is not bogus. It shows what the heading says it shows.
Oh, you doomsters and gloomsters. Why are you not crowing about this huge brexit win? https://mobile.twitter.com/GregHands/status/1606580838342176769 *It's not even a brexit win. The only reason we benefit at all is that we didn't have the tarif free access that the EU already has.
Or - and hear me out here - £100m over 500 years. That's a big old amount. That's nearly the budget for HS2 recouped in low grade sausages alone. Just got to make it last half a millennium.
I'd love to be there in 7022 mate but no doubt I'll have been cancelled by then by the far left Biased Broadcasting Cronies, Liebour and Corbynites.
It's good to see that of the many examples of Trumpspeak that have entered out political debate (electoral fraud, fake news, alternative facts etc) it's good to see "...people that were very fine people, on both sides..." is finally being utilised to explain away the Brexit shitshow: Brexit: Mistakes were made on all sides, says Leo Varadkar
We found it. We are out of thE EU. It's you idealist lefties that appear more worried that there was nothing in it for you.
