Ok the tories have cut relentlessly but not grown out of trouble fancy tricks in the budget won't disguise the reality IMO.

Labour spent so much that there was no reserve available to cope with the financial crises.

You praise spending every penny.....I don't.

er...The European Medicines Agency, the biggest loss, employs around 1,000, and the other, the banking bit, has between 100 and 200 staff.

Nothing to celebrate. That's 1,000 plus well paid jobs going out of the UK economy so others here who saw some of that dosh will suffer too from their move.

"Salaries are exempt from national tax."

They can gladly all sod off. And all the staff now automatically get a pay cut for the EU moving them.

There all the minuses of jobs local economy moving away to Amsterdam just an own goal by the UK with this re-location of the European medicines agency.

This was a Tory EU benefit from John Major I think.

Pharmaceutical companies make huge profits and are also huge investors so it follows that they will also be diverting their interests to the Netherlands.

Notwithstanding the fact that we have to fund our own medicines agency now rather than sharing the cost of it with partners.

We've already got one.

We weren't sharing the costs either, we were subsidising all the less wealthy members.

Yeah, this is going to run until 2020 maybe 2021 isn't it.

The ink is never really going to run dry on this one.

A few years ago some scamp on here called me 'swivel eyed' over the EU. The boot is on the other foot now though.....Now they get to foam at the mouth and I give them a metaphorical hankie.

You know how to use the internet.

Try researching these things before you post about them.

Wait until you find out who really benefited from the EMA too! You'll probably be glad we're no longer going to be funding it.

I do know how to use the Internet. Surely it is down to the person making an assertation to be the one to provide the evidence.
What is it even called?
