Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Max.

You have at least one redeeming feature.

You seem to read and appreciate a decent newspaper.

The need for hospital to change dressing was due to the damage and the water retained in her legs normally causing healing problems. At 83 she is in danger of leg ulcers as she is diabetic. This is a common cause of limb amputation. The dressing of the wound is fairly complex involving a compression bandage of a specific tension.

,...... ..

Conservative MPs may vote against the government or more likely abstain but are very unlikely to bring down May's government as their own jobs would be at risk. They can solve their problems by just replacing her.

The comment about illegals going to A&E was not related to the Romanians

A party without its nanny?

Come, come.

We want everything for nothing!!

Dog eat dog.

The blond bombshell as vacuous as usual.

And who's the editor of the London Evening Standard? Hmmm.

Well, it all looks too difficult, shall we call it off?

Walk away time comes closer..


EU wants power to raid financial firms in Britain after Brexit



By James Crisp, Brussels correspondent
14 February 2018 • 5:51pm




The European Union will demand the right to raid financial services firms in Britain after Brexit and hand its regulators sweeping new powers, as Brussels moves to shackle the City of London with red tape after the UK leaves the bloc.

The three regulators, the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs), will be given extra resources, levied in large part from British-headquartered firms, under the plans to closely police enforcement and regulation of the City.

Brussels will bestow the new powers on the ESAs during the Brexit transition period, when Britain will be stripped of EU voting rights and be powerless to stop the changes.

After transition, the ESAs will report to the European Commission,...

That is what some in the "City" were trying to escape from.

Max,

You really think Boris even wants Brexit? I don't.

He stage managed his public announcement of which camp he was going to support for maximum personal political gain, not out of undying love for his country. Every other MP had made their opinions known without a fanfare a long time before Boris decided to call a press conference.

Doc Proc said a couple of months ago that his dad was a useless tosser (or words to that effect). Well like father, like son!

hilly.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that I am a Boris supporter, other than that he appears to be a brexit enthusiast.

I don't actually trust any of them.

My bad, Max, I thought you were commenting on Gideon's editorial of Boris' speech from yesterday.

He's obviously directing his speech at Corbyn

Well , well the old my democratic right not to vote , so he doesn't vote ( people fought for it ) he then spends every gawd dam day knocking the out vote with endless pathetic ramblings against anyone and everyone , who ARE Tories did you know , I mean we are ALL Tories . Shocking really , can't get off his arse but spends endless hours moaning
about results of any vote . Meanwhile you say very little , but then I come along and knock two individuals ( I dare say their respected lawyers are to about raid my house any moment ) and all hell breaks loose from you , I'm the scum of the earth suddenly, I am what i am , i don't pretend to be above my station in life , but over the last few weeks i think very clearly you have given an incite into what you are about , well done , my spelling by the way isn't too bad see , P.O.M.P.O.U.S . J.U.M.P.E.D U.P. . P.R.E.M.A.D.O.N.N.A. S.P.O.I.L.T . By the way things can't be so good for you if you spend time on a BB arguing with washed out individuals , maybe your in the wrong place .

Has Corbyn or the Labour Party decided what it wants out of Brexit yet ?

I'm not even sure if they are officially for or against it even though it was Labour voters who won the day for the Brexit vote in Wales and large parts of the north of England.

Do you know their policy Fred ?

I would've thought Corbyn just wants to be on the right side of public opinion, Dil. By being non-committal, he's possibly playing a blinder, as he'll be able to latch onto and side with any change of public opinion if or when it occurs.

I would think Corbyn and others are happy to see the tories and brexiters implode.

Why should they help T. May and cohorts?

At the moment the cons and neo-cons and little people are doing a good job at self-destruction.

The problem is that at the moment they are taking others with them.

Haystack , I hope your Mums OK and healing , you shouldn't have to respond and explain her condition on here in answer to what was a disgusting and deplorable assault on your rights to Medical Treatment , the cheap jibe that recent free loaders are treated and why don't you change your mothers bandage yourself is beyond belief . You should demand an apology , as you and your Mother being lifelong Tax Payers are only receiving what they deserve .
I thought the days of , I am rich and am better than you , I make the rules , I want the EU to rule because it's best for me , I don't care about the rest of you , were declining , but apparently not . We are all getting older and parents more frail , these can be difficult times .
