In all seriousness, I literally dont see any.

I think they have done that already. I can't see anyway that they will stay as one party. Not convinced Labour won't go the same way as well.

Have to agree with this...which may mean the Brexit party goes to a GE

I have been in Holland the last 4 days and everyone wanted to talk BREXIT and all but ONE said they were right behind us and they wished they had the balls to do what the British had done...the best quote was "we pay all this money into it and for what? We get little or nothing back"

Have to say I was gobsmacked...am off to Brussels on friday for another few days, so will be interesting to see if they are the same (which i'm not expecting for one minute!)

And if it ever gets found out Huawei are spying may should good go down for treason after being warned by her own secret service.

I expect much like the foreign nuclear plant plans that were shelved, the only plus point of the proposed Huawei deal is that it was cheap. But as you rightly say, these things can still come at a price.

What have I missed ? The UK sends 9 billion
To the EU each year after rebate.
As an independent country we could, should we wish spend it all on the NHS. Why are people up in arms with Boris?

The true number is not 350 million.

The money cannot be simply diverted to the NHS, it is far more complex than that. It was a deliberate lie to appeal to the masses and to dumb the topic down to state that the money "saved" could be 100% spent on the NHS.

This is 2 lies.

The actual figure we give the EU is £260m a week, Thatcher fought for a rebate which if she never achieved bumps the amount to around £350m however the figure does vary from year to year.

Utterly pointless investigating Johnson for this, just as much as its pointless investigating remain mps who lied about the state the UK would be in if it voted to leave the EU.

Agreed. This won’t change the result of the referendum and is a waste of time. If they think it was the sole reason millions of people voted to leave then they are sorely mistaken and wasting valuble court time. Remain and the EU need to come up compelling argument as to why we should stay in the EU. Project Fear was a negative campaign and they generally fail.

Given that project fear hasn’t really happened, could action be taken against remain as well?

The whole rest of Europe's media is in meltdown, rolling out experts (or whoever), to demonstrate exactly how evil, racist and xenophobic the UK are to want to leave the EU.
Remember, the EU stands to lose billions and could leave Britain as some kind of rogue trader that will undermine their tax and fiscal system (print money and spend, spend, spend).
They are pulling out all the stops to show how stupid and ungrateful the British are. I hear it everyday. Most people will listen to their media and will have this view.
A lot of countries gain money from the EU, whilst Britain loses money - they will have a different attitude too. If the UK seriously gained from the EU in a tangible way, I'm sure this thread would not exist.

They're looking to recoup some of these losses by picking on Italy and handing them a 3.5billion fine for doing nothing more than France and Germany have done in the past.........fine-free?
How people can't see that the EU is nothing more than a ponzi scheme for France and Germany baffles me.

This is a very simplistic way to examine the cost/benefits of EU membership.

You cannot really boil it down to simple in and out financials of this nature.

We also enjoy many tariff and trade benefits as a member of the customs union and single market. There are benefits that are hard to quantify financially until we dont have them anymore.

As we are yet to actually leave the EU, the true financial situation will not be known until the point at which that happens, and the ensuing years.

With all due respect, you don't understand the financial state of the EU yet you're happy to continually support it and claim that Brexiters are stupid/idiotic/uneducated/racist for wanting to leave?
The EU is in a very bad place. Italian banks are in trouble much of which will fall upon the French. Deutsche Bank is a global time-bomb waiting to explode on two fronts, derivative exposure along with the continued money-laundering investigation and Draghi can't tell his arse from his elbow!

Cop-out bender.

Thanks for giving me a genuine chuckle - second of the day after hearing Boris is going to court for his big red bus.

Just one question for you.

How is warning someone to not break the rules, being a grass?

I think to grass I would have to hit the "alert a moderator to this post" button, wouldn't I.

You constantly make it obvious.

Secondly, it's a HOL colloquialism. Another obvious fact that you seem to have missed. They're adding up

Correction.

I see no advantages at all in us leaving. I prefer us to stay in and push hard for the reforms that are needed.

I don't want a referendum on this, or anything else. I want Parliament to do it's job and if it cannot to resign and for us to elect another.
