Originally posted by eek View PostThat was going to be the case anyway. Gordon Brown's tax credits and housing benefit - now we are a country of private renters rather than public housing renters means the Government has a structural deficit it cannot close and doesn't have the political will to even pretend to be closing...
Dunno why we don't really. We need some inflation anyway.

Fortunately the police arrived on the scene. 50 minutes later. There's a big police station two minutes walk away but of course it was empty and the coppers had to drive from the county headquarters twenty miles away.
Further economic distress will not be confined to the unwashed - we'll also all feel it as things crumble around us.
I've had the best private coverage for years - it's only sensible.
But you're right, the shrinkage in the economy after Brexit will put even more pressure on it.
I also expect the debt to GDP ratio to rise above 100%.

Labour will end up backing a second referendum
Adonis predicts that Labour will back a second referendum, as it has embraced a meaningful Brexit transitional period. “Once Labour’s in favour it’s only a matter of time before the government has to concede … I would be very surprised if we’re not committed to a referendum on the exit terms within six months. The thing I only always learned from Tony [Blair] is ‘get the policy right and the politics will follow’. The right policy is a referendum on the exit terms, the politics will sort itself out.

Its bad enough already

3. Nothing to do with the EU
4. Nothing to do with the EU. (The same directive as 1 allows you to chuck out foreign criminals. )
Unfortunately Brussels stupidity & duplicity isn't the only problem in the UK.

Originally posted by vetran View Postsome people think they know better despite people suggesting caution. The current situation is a direct result of this.
1. No vote on the common market becoming an EU super state.

4. No say on soft Jail sentences.
Our masters and the liberal loonies closed the door on those discussions, Brexit blew the door open. You are still trying to close it by yelling at anyone standing on the other side not discussing how we fix it.

Originally posted by WTFH View PostSome people live in fear and hatred of all things foreign. Totally uninterested in whether it is good or not, if it is foreign it must be bad. You can tell by the tone of their posts and the way they like to jump in and derail discussions that might challenge their hatred.
