    Handed down in song and through obscure cave paintings. Well, they keep telling us we are about to end up like it was Mad Max.

    That won't happen, MP's love their jobs more than they do their country. That very fact is why we are where we are two years on with no solution in sight.

    I'm fine with a deal but not lock ins. What tends to drive decisions is spending so I would think both main parties are wary of large increases to consumer goods as it is hitting voters direct. Those hit by decreasing public services are less of an issue than hitting all voters with increased taxation...as bad as that may sound.

    But we need to remember we got to this level of cheapness and low pay for a reason. Those same people would happily scrap protections and make more profits...it's just business to them. That is the EU and those who want out, because rich people are just rich people.

    There is going to be a hit either way, deal of no deal, it's a question of how big. Clubs like the EU exist to create imbalance in other areas by improving their lot. But what of austerity? It's still on us and other EU nations and showing no likelihood of improvement no matter what the numbers say?

    Labour's plan is seen as a way to reduce this. Cool, put Labour in. Ah, but what of Corbyn & McDonald's wish to increase massive borrowing? Does that cancel it all out? So, can we afford to risk Labour either? I thought they were telling us Corbyn would destroy business too?

    Yeah, someone decided to employ that woman who did the 19th century Fresco in Spain.



    So, yeah now I look like Ed Sheeran!

    Thats really cool
    I dont actually post outside of Misc forum
    & there is a reason for that

    When I have posted in multiple forums I have found that my head spins and I cant keep up with the NMP forum because there are so many categories, it basically doesnt help me, it fries my miniscule brain

    Good spot, good satire !!! KK for the win !

    Re: the EU & the UK

    If Labour is now backing Common Market 2.0 (which is better for us than what's been on the table before but still falls far short of the benefits of just remaining) does this kill a confirmatory referendum by implication?

    Breaking News:
    Government reveals Brexit was an April Fool's prank all along
    "We never even sent the article 50 letter"

    Not mine, but it made me laugh!
