I apologise - it was aimed at another chap who dodged a question I asked, which you then quoted. Hence my confusion - sorry. To he honest I'm not insinuating that about you at all - you seem way more intelligent than your average send em back leaver. Out of interest why did you vote leave if I may ask?
No need to apologise, I am in no way an expert on the Eu/Brexit debate and I don’t think we’ll know who was right/wrong for years to come. I voted for brexit because I believe we can make a better go of it on our own. It would be nice to remain close to the EU(we are European after all) but I think that’s looking increasingly unlikely due to EU negotiation tactics. They obviously won’t make it easy for us as they won’t want anyone else leaving. But to demand access to our fishing, demand level playing fields, demand ECJ is just laughable. The worlds a lot bigger than the EU and I feel we can do better while at the same time not paying ludicrous amounts of money for the privilege. I am also aware that we have made demands and we get money back from the EU and it’s a 2 way negotiation but in the long run I believe we’ll be better off as a country. Time will tell!!
I completely disagree - but I see your points and why you believe them. To counter them would be pointless as we're so far apart. Have a nice evening mate.
I can understand the argument for the country as a whole being better off but u am 100% certain that towns like Barnsley will be worse off. The simplest question I can ask is who do you trust to give finding to a northern, labour supporting mining town? The EU? Or former mayor of London and conservative leader Boris Johnson?
Not sure I trust anyone at the minute. I do think as a town we aren’t doing too badly looking at Barnsley town centre. It will hopefully look tremendous when completed. Not sure who has funded it mind.
I li Barnsley might have been better off under a Conservative council instead of Labour. I know it isn't supposed to happen but look where all the funding goes. It goes where there is a Tory MP. Harrogate and York don't seem to do too badly.
It goes to marginal seats mainly. The incumbent government want to retain the seats that they are closest to losing.
So Barnsley will be better off because the Tories will see it has a chance of gaining it at the next election. (Covid-19 aside).
My take on Johnson. A man who only thinks about himself. 2 faced. (voted against a pay rise for the NHS workers - now he praises them because of this pandemic). Adulterer. Racist. Remember the letterbox and piconinee's with watermelon smiles. Gangster. He tried to have a journalists legs broke. Lier. Every time he opens his mouth. But bugger all that I'm voting for him because he makes me laugh.
When societies are scared, they look to the boss for guidance, and reassurance that things will get better, personally i'm not seeing it. All i'm seeing, reading, hearing is gloom and gloom. I think as Adults we av to do wot we thinks reight. Don't watch the news, don't listen to politicians, and above all cancel the paper. For the past fortneight i've been fine. P.S I do not suffer from schizophrenia , and neither do i.
The next generation of Council Tax payers will be funding it. The council is using its "own" resources which will undoubtedly include substantial borrowing. And when it fails for lack of takeup due to sky high rents and a drastically changed retail scenario...
The right honourable Mr Johnson has used his time wisely this evening. He's thrown the toys out of the pram and written a letter to Starmer. That'll show him.
I think you will find it was the stupid british press and media that forced his hand into lifting the lockdown, just like when they build a footballer up to super stardom and when he gets there knock him down again. You appear to be like many thousands in our town, yes we all support THE REDS. But put a red rosette on a sheep and they all follow and will not listen to reasoning
Anyone seen him recently? Since making the STAY ALERT statement last Sunday and being completely shown up in PMQs almost a week ago, it seems Mr Johnson has gone back to his fridge.
I read somewhere on Twitter one of the less common side effects of CV19 is long periods of invisibility during the recovery phase
