A ton of that money did come back in the form of Grant's etc.
Farmers,fisherman,town centre regeneration etc.
Is that still going to be allocated from the savings.
A bit harsh if not especially on the industries and towns and cities that benefitted and probably have ongoing applications.

The UK will be getting none of the money that it pays into May's exit deal back. We do rightly owe it so should pay, but if the EU wont give us a deal there will be no mechanism for us to pay so they'd have to claim it from us.

Totally agree. Interestingly though, in Border Force they can recruit but not retain. This is mainly due to awful shift patterns, p*** poor management and lack of any wage rises. It really is a false economy as they spend thousands on training but fail to address the retention issues


Yep, sounds like a repeating pattern in the public sector.....governments create extra problems with almost criminally stupid long term policies and then expect the public services to cope.

Yeah, that seriously wouldn't surprise any of us at this point.

Tell them to apply to Ocean Finance.

Do we? I thought the House of Lords looked at this and said we didn't.

I keep hearing that there is no one in the EU to negotiate with us until Nov 1. I have 2 responses to that.

1. The EU set the current deadline May had requested a different one so if there really is no one at home that's their fault they chose the date.

2. Political decisions of this size are ultimately made by the key governments of the EU the EU commission is the monkey. It would appear that Boris is talking to the organ grinders. It doesn't mean a deal will happen but if Boris and these 5 governments can agree they will tell the EU commission to do the paperwork.

My wife is a nurse and it's exactly the same in nursing. The media complain that it's the low wages but that's not true as everyone entering the professions knows exactly what they will get paid.

It's the poor management and treatment of staff as assets rather than people that causes nurses to leave.

After 10 years in one hospital my wife left as she was sick of the annual arguments about holidays as despite being entitled to seven weeks holiday a year the ward manager wanted her to take them one week at a time and never during the school holidays.

She moved to another hospital where they are somewhat more enlightened over holidays but the management is poor in other areas

Border Force have always had a leave restrictions especially over summer and Christmas, this year they had a leave BAN in early spring because of Brexit!
I am glad to have got out but unfortunately my wife is still there. I can only sympathise with your wife as her situation mirrors those in Border Force

That's true but these returns have been set from the start and applied for by the benefitees and decided by the EU.
Where and how will they apply to after Brexit.

I'm finding it increasingly unbelievable that there are any significant numbers of remainers left. I voted out but had never realized quite how bad things were getting until the current focus on the going's on.

If anyone thinks this somehow represents some kind of socialist, peace loving paradise then they are just completely deluded and can't be following what's going on.

The EU is clearly both increasingly authoritarian, institutionally and ideologically anti-democratic and represents the global interests of massive corporations - and that's about it. We should all be chewing our own arms off to get out of this s***.

There at it again.

Sir Alan Duncan has resigned as he can't work with Boris. Fair enough nothing unremarkable about that. However he lost the plot when he tried to call for a motion of no confidence in a Boris government.

Even arch Remainer Bercow could see that is just plain stupid and shut it down. A no confidence motion in a leader that hasn't been selected and a government that hasn't been formed.

Expect another attempt later in the week.

Na....the left have resigned as a serious presence on Hol....when they can't dominate or censor others they eventually give up.

Steely got Faraged and Maple and DanH are now just trolling nowadays.

We need more hipsters for the sake of the banter. I actually have a beard and I'm sure I can dig out a waistcoat. I don't like soya milk but oat milk is quite nice.

I sure hope not for your sake, Stirley.

Its going to be pretty f***ing dull around here listening to Hrolf and Chris GC's bizarre views on the football team, rammed down the throats of an unsuspecting support base not used to totalitarian dictators.

Just reading the last few pages here and the lack of intelligence and understanding is unbelievable really.

Conflating the issues many mention here with being members of the EU is the victory that Farage has won over an uninformed populace.

Farage has conned you, with the help of many.

He has made you believe, as some other leaders have before, that your problems and issues have 1 root source. If you really start to buy into Farage and his con then you would be forgiven for thinking that once we leave the EU everyone will get 100k in their bank accounts and the streets will be paved with gold before the next morning.

Wake the f*** up.

If people think that the hospitals in the UK will be BETTER once the UK leaves the EU and loses out on countless resources, expertise and drugs, I have a time share in Tenerife you might be interested in.

As with many things in life the Brexiteer will not see the error of his/her ways until it is too late, but at this stage I sincerely hope a no deal brexit comes to pass, as it might finally knock some sense into the hollow brains of England.
