    They got an extra £37b last year, but they had to spend it in Matt Hancock's mate's pub...

    Seeing as the Vote Leave, or whomever it was, worked out that by leaving the EU, the government would be able to give 350m to the NHS each week so presumably the extra 130m a week is going to come from your NI contributions going up?

    I don't understand how can the public say that immigrants steal their job and you don't see them applying now to work in construction, hospitality or bars !!!! Yes the job the immigrant were "stealing" were low paid job that no UK citizen wanted to work.. Now with the Brexit all imported products will go up in price (that include almost every product)....

    That was then: 3M Gorseinon will shut next year with the final 108 employees down the road.

    Apparently demand for sticky tape isn't what it was.

    If the Scots do eventually have another referendum and do vote for separation then Westminster will simply "respect" the result.

    It's the way referendum's work don't you know?

    Exactly, which is why the EU respects the results of the UK referendum and is sitting there twiddling its thumbs waiting for the UK to do something.
