From a report in one of our more reputible daily newspapers: " Providers of annuities - the policies that convert pension pots into incomes for life - cut their rates this week to reflect falls in the stock market. Meanwhile interest rates could fall, hitting savings, while the cost of everyday essentials such as food and fuel are set to rise. All this means less money in your pocket and ...
According to a newspaper report "the cost of living is about to get higher as experts predict food prices will go up as a result of Brexit. Around 40% of the food we eat is imported, which means the falling pound will make it more expensive to bring food imports into the country".
Well Nige was up for one (second referendum). And another thing, oh irony of ironies. Do you know that the petition in question was started off by a Brexiteer when it was thought that Leave would lose. True! (do a search on the name William Oliver Healey)
And lo and behold! There is a petition for a 2nd referendum. Lots of info below. All Remainers please sign and circulate. I'm sure Nige will understand after all he did advocate such a thing had Leave lost. News Results Petition for second EU referendum hits 4 million as hundreds ... Daily Telegraph - 30 minutes ago The petition for a second ...
This is what Nigel Farage said about a 2nd Referendum when he thought Remain were going to win and if the difference in the vote was as close as 52%/48% "The question of a second referendum was raised by Mr Farage in an interview with the Mirror in which he said : "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the Remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ...
And the ride will not be helped by Farage behaving in the way he did yesterday at the European parliament!
Hmm now..........let us say that the result had been the same numbers and % wise but around the other way. Does anyone honestly believe that the Brexiteers would have shut up? Of course they wouldn't have. They'd have been bleating for another referendum and claiming foul practices within minutes of the result being announced.
and on the subject of the Labour party https://www.savinglabour.com/
From the tv reports from areas that voted leave it seems that many did so because they thought leaving the EU would mean money could go to their areas in order to economically regenerate them. I heard this a lot from people 'up north'. Wasn't HS2 supposed to help this Northern Power House idea? Just seen on the news that the National Audit Office has said funding issues may mean HS2 ...
Johnson and Gove have stuffed the UK (and themselves) and Nige is already whingeing about the official Leave camp backtracking on immigration. As I've said before. What many Leave voters thought they were voting for and what they will end up getting could be far, far, from the same thing. PS Good job I thought to change quite a bit of sterling into Euros last Thursday eh? Phew!
