End of Democracy

Unless we get a no deal brexit, which is what we voted for, I'm voting Brexit Party. Everyone I know is doing the same. The UK Parliament have sided with the EU against the British people. UK Parliament is as hated as the EU. We will never forget this and will never forgive these traitors.

Parliament  Should of been Disolved and all this rabble thrown out. This undemocratic lot who have thrown out the will of the people will I hope regret there stance, for we will not forget or forgive you.

For those remainers who say the spin on leaving was a total lie. well when Sir Edward Heath who told an even bigger sell out that our involvement into the Common Market would be a market place no-more etc etc. The whole project was built on sand and  lies by a liar.Should  be stripped of his Knighthood. Should  stop now for the sake of those of a very  sensitive PC disposition.

Just to give you an update. Today 26th March, there was a serious accident between jnc 30 and jnc 31 M5. Because of the outdaed road system around Exeter and beyond, traffic was virtually at a stand still on all roads. I had to go to Exeter and it took me just over 2hrs and I know the roads and short cuts. So keep your radio on and tune into radio Devon where they give you regular updates of ...

@S read it again, it's how it's distributed I am refering to and the various nuances that certain countries have which should not be able to be applied when splitting funding. I assume the area you work in doesn't come across the same issues as my place of work does on a daily basis!

@Dil the EU funding has to be agreed by ALL member states after being discussed by the EU council and EU parliament. Some countries pay in more and receive less in funding based on a number of factors. The UK is the 4th biggest contributor to the EU budget. Do you know why? Because we have 4th biggest GNI of the EU countries. Germany pays almost double what we do, France 2nd pay over 7% more than ...

To be honest the Leave campaign didn't overspend by that much and I don't believe that overspend had anything to do with the way the referendum went. £9 million on a leaflet that was a pretty awful promotion for remaining was a waste of money.  Both amounts are a pittance compared with how much the Brexit process has cost so far! What did make a difference because it came up in discussions ...

I love how the Remoaners accuse the Leave campaign of overspending and all other kinds of skullduggery, but conveniently forget the £9 million that Cameron spent on sending a leaflet to every home in the country imploring us to vote remain, and by some shenanigans he managed to avoid the spending limits imposed on the Remain campaign.  Don't lecture me about fair rules, Remoaners make me vomit.

Just to give a bit of substance to an earlier comment which for me is a real concern regarding being in the EU and not on a level playing field. The funding received in the UK for joint projects with other EU members does not end up with everyone getting an equal share of the pie. For example you have a french citizen and a british citizen both working on the same project both spending a day out ...

If you sack the politicians who want a peoples vote or want to remain then surely all those that lied and colluded with cambridge analytica and their satellite companies and overspent by more than 1/2 million and blatantly lied should be sacked, tried for fraud and the referendum deemed undemocratic. Therefore the only fair and democratic thing to do is re-run the referendum as a binding vote ...
