The map & pie chart almost look like decisions are being made so as to adversely effect whether people vote Labour :shock:

See my previous post. Surely an endeavour to correct major imbalances.

That question doesn't even make sense, what are you going on about?


Do you even understand the map on that link (from 8 and a half years ago)? It's public spending as a % of GDP in that area.

WE ALL KNOW London has a much higher GDP per capita than anywhere else, it's not news to anyone, you've not made any kind of point there, and it's probably to do with decades of London-centric governments pumping money in and legislating in London's favour.

The reality is quite the opposite to what you're asserting really - the spending levels vs GDP from that 2008 map ARE "correcting the huge imbalance". The huge imbalance was already there Dally, following decades of underfunding and legislation that crippled those areas.

If they invested as much in those areas as they did in London there wouldn't be such "imbalances".

It depends on who you want to listen to.
Farage doesn't think too much of him and he seemed very happy to see him go.
However, toff or otherwise, he was considered to be the best that we (the UK) had to deal with negotiations and it appears that maybe, those paying his wages, didn't like what he was telling them.

IF he was the best person for that role, necessarily, the person stepping into his shoes wont be quite as good and in this respect, we may end up worse off.

As I said, it depends who you want to listen to.

The one certainty is that leaving the EU, whilst simple in theory is far from straight forward.
Untangling 40 years of ties was never going to be easy, unless we have bottomless pockets and even more money to burn.

The other comment about a lack of plan and strategy from the government, regarding a Leave vote, is just shocking.
Cameron must have told "his people" not to bother as "we" would vote remain.
