Corbyn will be having a wry smile at Tory socialism..

we still have to follow the rules during the transition period.

You do, EU countries don't have to for non-EU countries.

But, but, but, but ..... we're having a party and Big Ben will bong ..... we're leaving in 16 days, you lost, get over it, we won, we don't need to follow EU rules anymore, they need us more than we need them, it's all their fault for bullying us .....

[original PM]

So all the lefties were saying we should nationalise rail travel and that's fine...

You then get the government investing in air travel and everyone looses their mind.

As VWDan says they do run unique routes - although the ones out of Aberdeen are generally full of people who work on the oil rigs and as we know fossil fuels are bad sooo.....

Vote Tory, get socialism. £100m of your money straight into the hands of a private company, pah pocket change.


Flybe: Airline and rail rivals attack government bailout

Erm, I think its more like "OK, we will let you pay the £100m at a later date rather than go bust and we get nothing"

The rating agencies are already having a field day with a UK government changing policy. Handing out our treasury funds to private companies.

National debt, pah, we can print more. Endless supply until the ceiling is hit. That is until tax receipts can no longer keep up with debt interest payments. Crash bang wallop.

Dude (bangs head against the wall) the government isn't handing out anything (bangs head against the wall) they are saying don't pay what you owe now, pay it later. Shirley the Scots must understand the principle of buy now pay later?

It's the same difference. If they can't pay now they can't pay it later. The model is broken, let it fail.

I'm putting off filling in my tax return until the Autumn. Tough times, yah ken?

The government appears to be handing out free loans. Buy now pay later usually involves interest, even in Scotland.

The government will probably lose more money in fines after competing airlines take legal action over competition rules.
