[Politics] Brexit

That's still pretty nuanced, it's not like VoteLeave are actually saying:-

Let's give our NHS
the £350 million the
EU takes every week.

Project moist gusset takes another salvo.

So on the one hand we have the Governor of the Bank of England, the Government's own impact assessments, business leaders and global economists who all say "it's going to be a shitshow". But thank goodness all of these have been balanced exactly by one journalist.

So you missed Osboune saying there would have to be a emergency budget within weeks if we voted out. Maybe I missed said budget ? Or maybe your blue with yellow stars glasses have blinded you to his statement ?

It was only urgent action by Mark Carney (the bete noir of Brexiters) which prevented a run on the pound and that emergency budget. So technically he's the one you should be thanking for preventing the need for one.

BTW while we're in the market for lying members of the Leave campaign...

Interesting there is now an ongoing private prosecution against Boris Johnson

His is alleged to have committed three counts of misconduct in public office”, specifically “statements concerning the cost of European Union membership, which were false, misleading and which abused public trust”. The guy Marcus Ball has raised £163k

I too don't usually frequent this thread but as we're getting to the point end I'm here more.
I have no idea why the same combatants (from both sides) still insist on pulling each other's hair.

We're on the verge of a monumental shift in UK politics and this thread is still at name calling (of which I'm no angel).

Normally the melting pot of NSC is great source for news and opinions, just not here.

Yep, we are all in this together, remainers and leavers alike, whether we like it or not and whether we will end up liking the endpoint or not.

Like you I am not free from guilt in sometimes putting the boot in, I am a naturally argumentative person but I agree entirely with you that would need to move on.

This thread is wholly replicant of the kind of arguments and name calling that is going on in the UK but surely at some point, for the good of the country, it will have to stop?

My fear is that Brexit will continue to divide as much as Margaret Thatcher's government did for so long.

Maybe you Could start a crowdfund to prosecute Cameron for daring to allow it in the 1st place. I Wonder how many mis truths the remain team came out with

Is that the same Mark Carney that said interest rates would have to go up and the housing market would crash if we voted leave ?

Talking of pathetic, I'm still waiting for a reply

The lengths some people go to because they cannot accept the outcome of a vote 2 odd years ago. Lawyers rubbing their hands with glee

Perhaps you should read it, as it states it's not their intention to stop or delay Brexit on March 29th and that their allegations relate to things Johnson has said both as MP and Mayor of London.

For which a lawyer will demand a fee?

That's why it's a Crowdfund page as private prosecutions and the resulting legal fees cost a great deal - the clue is in the word 'private'.

So, for the sixth time, some legal bod will earn out of some half baked attempt at a PRIVATE prosecution. Sunk in yet? I could draw a picture if it helps.

Are you fvcking blind ? Which part of post #77205 could you not read ? Or indeed, if you're too stupid to find the post, do you not know about how your notifications work ?

I'd managed to work that out the moment I saw a crowdfund page link for a private prosecution against Boris Johnnson, thanks.

Well done for pointing out the bleeding obvious though.

If he was mayor why is it being linked to Brexit. Before this time
