    Anyway the triple lock was an election winning promise, sadly if it is unsustainable it shouldn't have been offered should it?

    As it has I'm happy to take it.

    Bit like BREXIT,! Cameron offered it not believing he was ever going to win outright.

    I bet after he won, the next thought was 'oh b@ll@cks' now we have to have a referendum on something I don't want!

    So now unless BREXIT wins by a substantial margin, we all lose anyway. If Cameron wins, he has to go back to Brussels, tail between his legs, saying actually we are staying now, sorry, it's all been a big misunderstanding!

    Basically we have already lost any respect we may have once had. So the next time there is something we disagree about in Brussels whatever we say will just be laughed out of court. Happy days, it's a ice thought innit!


    Cheers fj
