Remain campaigners are getting pretty scared and are falling over themselves to say how wrong it is. They know that when the revenge attacks come, milkshake or battery acid, they are in the crosshairs.

Anyway, enough about milkshakes, let's see what Change UK are doing. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/charge-shoppers-1p-use-self-checkout-machines-heal-brexit-divisions/

A new kind of politics? "Let's tax something!"

True. I've said before, he can trot out a pre-prepared speech but apart from that he's hopeless like most of them.

The "right-on" drive for diversity has left us with a Parliament populated with inadequates, and now we're paying the price.

Theresa May has told MPs they have "one last chance" to deliver Brexit, as she set out a "new Brexit deal".

MPs will get a vote on whether to hold another referendum if they back the EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill, she said.

News is reporting that British Steel circling the drain is being blamed on brexit...

I was under the impression that what bankrupt them in the first place was an unpaid EU carbon tax.

Maybe I'm wrong?

So having failed to stop The Brexit Party with their funding smear, the EU parliamentary commission is now starting another funding smear on Farage himself.

So that’s Brown who was found guilty of £12k of expenses fraud and the EU who’ve never had their accounts signed off in 20 years, pointing the finger of financial irregularity at an anti EU party, 36 hours before an EU election.

These feckwits are just making voters more resilient by the hour.



Does look a bit rum though - Farage failing to declare £450K on the grounds that he "thought he was leaving politics and seeking a new life in the US" while some of his cohorts are saying the money was to pay for his ongoing presence in the political field (security, chauffeur driven cars etc)

I do admire his determination and some of his communication skills, but he does leave himself open to some shit at times.

Also, EU competition rules are preventing the government from bailing them out, so today’s story is fake news anyway.

Far from Brexit being the cause, it would actually be the solution.


That's incorrect, not like you to let facts get in the way of a good story though eh?

So what you are saying then is that it is acceptable to break the rules regarding declaration of finances when running for public office because other people have been caught out for lesser offences?

Remember what this is about - we don't have the American system where campaign funds effectively buy votes via the ability to spend more on a propaganda machine, travel and personal appearances, baby-hugging, greasing wheels etc at the moment. By your argument we should do. The logical conclusion to this is that Parties with the most money will find it easier to win than they do presently, which is anti-democratic.

I think we forget that most people don't change their political views because of corrupt or shady practices by politicians. You might get rid of Farage, but you won't get rid of the sentiment that causes people to back him.

So either Al Beeb or your Pro EU news source are talking sh1te again.

Quote:
The UK government has said it will consider helping Port Talbot steelworks - but any intervention risks falling foul of European Union state aid rules.

The EU does not allow state support of a business if it would distort competition in the single market.


Also EU tariffs which we're tied to, stop us from protecting our steel industry as Trump is able to do in the US by raising tariffs for cheap imported Chinese steel.

Oh and it's the £120M EU set carbon bill which is forcing it to go bankrupt. Other than that, yeah, nothing to do with the EU. Rolling Eyes


So many flaws in your 'argument'. But your blinkered stupidity doesn't let you see it. Waste of time.

It seems he is right.

From BT

“The Government can only act within the law, which requires any financial support to a steel company to be on a commercial basis.

“I have been advised that it would be unlawful to provide a guarantee or loan on the terms of any proposals that the company or any other party has made

https://home.bt.com/news/uk-news/thousands-of-jobs-at-risk-as-british-steel-goes-into-receivership-11364363805564

From the BBC during the Port Talbot steel crisis.

Because the European Union already produces more steel than it needs, the member states of the EU agreed to allow uneconomical producers to go bust, rather than let governments save them.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35933904

Even Full Fact state there are problems with supporting the steel industry due to the EEC.

However, there are a number of ways in which EU regulation is slowing or preventing certain actions from being taken, particularly providing financial support to failing plants.
