The statements are on two separate lines - with different shades of background for each line.

It never said the NHS would, or should, receive the full £350m sum.

However, this image is far less ambiguous - banged to rights with this one.

Don't think so bambino.

You can misinterpret anything to suit your cause but you are talking to yourself. No one else gives a toss after all the Remain lies proved to be just that.

Are you still thinking you're going to Iceland? (That's a supermarket by the way. Not the country).

I was in Manchester the penultimate week prior to the referendum and in bolton for three days prior to it. I can assure you that people I spoke to seemed very keen on both the bus messages and "sending the foreigners back". Most worrying was the fact people were so vocal about it. Being on business I was eating out every meal and the amount of racist crap floating about was terrifying. Extrapolate Bolton to other 'traditional' northern English towns and it's easy to see people were urging on the xenophobia.

If you're worth your salt as a contractor on this forum your immediate neighbours won't necessarily be in this group, but in a normal estate with £65k houses galore it can only be presumed that these have a fair number of racists within it. Rich people benefitted from the EU - and I include contractors in this guesstimate. It was the poor and disenfranchised who voted en mass to leave.

I think you're making that up. How many people did you speak to? Any at all.

As for your analysis of who voted to leave, do a search on google before you post and find out what the real leave demographic was.

Ah you mean those people who fought and watched their friends die to overturn a dictator hellbent on ruling Europe?

Strange they would vote against it do you think?

Given that WW2 ended 71 years ago the youngest people that fought in that conflict would be in their late eighties. How do explain the 65 year olds who weren't even born then?

Their fathers and uncles fought in the war, their mothers and aunts lived through the rationing, bombings and the poverty post war. Maybe.

However the wording was set out it is the intention of the writer that matters. The intention was to claim that the NHS would have the full £350m and proclaimed by the leavers. Locally to me on the Hants, Surrey boarder, the votes were overwhelmingly to remain including for us oldies. The exceptions were a minority hard core group middle age and elderly who wanted the money to go the NHS and this was exactly what was told to them Boris who visited the town to campaign. The other group of leavers were most of the Asians who voted to leave in the hope it would make it easier for them to bring their relatives to the UK it the Polish left.

The morning after the referendum and for the first time ever, there was graffiti in the town with “Boris for prime minister” and "Polish go home",

EU’s TTIP trade deal with the US has collapsed, says Germany

EU messes up yet again. Probably due to the difficulties of the US negotiating with 37 countries (f**k knows how many are in the EU).

Clears the way for a UK-US trade deal.....

Er no. It's due to the fact that the US wouldn't back down on or discuss 27 of the outstanding aspects of the treaty which Europe didn't like, in particular those where corporations basically have the right to sue a country if they don't get their way (to put it in a nutshell) plus those protecting the rights of agriculture and other European industries in dealing with the US. The UK was one of the biggest fans of TTIP but now they are no longer involved then the US is finding it harder to have a voice in the negotiations but if the UK wants it's own TTIP then feel free. Its not as if the UK hasn't been the US'es bitch before

Oddly the OAPs I know born before or during the war voted Remain. The younger ones voted Leave.
