Can you point me to the paragraph in the Manifesto which explains where the £350m a week will go to the NHS after we leave.

I get the bit about £8b over 5 years which is about £30m a week, but cannot find the other £320m.

We will have control of the money we currently send to the EU, it's then up to us as a nation how we spend it.


Personally I prefer localism and see no need whatsoever to send £25 million per day to the daft old blokes in Brussels. Trade will be fine regardless.

Of course they wouldn't. As gives them a competitive advantage. Ask the same question if the UK were to respond with German manufactured cars suffering high import duty.

It's no surprise that the UK's most left-wing newspaper would publish that tripe, especially nearing general election time.
More so when the opposite has been well-covered, such as:

An industry spokesman for Germany's small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) believes that a "hard" Brexit which pulls Britain out of the single market "would harm both sides." BVMW President Mario Ohoven, whose trade group represents over 250,000 German SMEs, told the BBC that negotiations should be "guided by economic sense and not by political ideologues."

That reads like damage limitation to me.

It's understandable. There is a lot to lose from all sides.

It does make me smile when I see posts like this with such faux-aggrieved content and it still gets thanked.
By one of the usual antagonistic suspects, too.

Perhaps we could all go down the 'making stuff up and claiming it as fact' route. It's easily done and apparently popular if that post is anything to go by.

No, perhaps not.
Having just the one of you doing that is plenty, thank you very much.
Have you anything valid to contribute to the thread, other than facile comment?



Quite in increase in visitors to the UK in the first quarter.

"The (data) indicate that the sharply weakened pound is encouraging more visits to the UK from abroad and more spend by visitors,"

http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-economy-tourism-idUKKCN18F1GT

Visitors to Britain from other European countries increased 4 percent compared with a year ago, rising to 6.2 million.

Surely not!
According to some here we are a pariah.
So why do increasing numbers visit?

Translation:

I don't like reading that a major EU country is not doing quite as well as pro-EU supporters tell me it is.
