Just one question, if Corbyn gets in power, will Len McCluskey make a good deputy pm? ? And will he be better than Dominic Cummings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see how much EU funding is in the local area. Within a mile of my house the EU spent £1.2m. If only the EU had advertised the work they do better, maybe people would be more supportive of them. How very kind of the EU, and I bet we only have to give them £3.6m towards that £1.2m!

I'm in engineering. I work in a niche sector (it's not exactly rocket science, but it is unique) and although there is small demand in the UK, most of my work (I guess 90% to 95%) is carried-out in mainland Europe. If we leave the EU, it will make the company I work for very difficult to give me contracts anymore (not impossible, just VERY awkward). Imagine you live in a house and when you go to bed, I guess you use the stairs? If we leave the EU, in my current position, it would be like someone ripping-out the staircase and replacing it with a rickety ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRamFan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50280848 General election 2019: Nigel Farage will not stand as candidate. So only took him to fail 7 times before the penny drops. Probably realised that he gets a better wedge from his non attendance of the EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that sums up the EU, we pay vast amounts into it for them to redistribute the money to MEPs for doing nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I previously said that it needs reforming and properly funding. In it's current form I no longer see it as being a fair system fit for purpose. If I am going to be making contributions towards it then I expect to have exactly the same level of access to it as everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are pretending not to understand. You know full well that trade arrangements between us and the EU will be quite different when we leave.
