Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

The Conservatives will thankfully win this election with a 3 figure majority. The majority will ensure the UK has huge bargaining power in the exit negotiations. So going forward, "BRITISH" people will have access to more generous benefits, the NHS will have greater funding.

Unfortunately none British will have to have reduced benefits so the UK can look after its own sick and poor. Hard working British people built the British Benefits system and the British NHS. Unfortunately people who earn money in the UK but spend it elsewhere will leave the benefits system and the NHS bankrupt. But lets not blame them, lets blame the good honest hard working British men and woman who built these systems.

Not sure you used the word 'British' enough there...

There's nothing in there that suggests a deal cannot be achieved.

More BS The Daddy from that left-wing fish-and-chip holder The Sunday Times. You scare-mongering remainers need to finally accept that you lost and stop continuing Project Fear. And let's be realistic it: it's only remaining-voting Londoners who can afford to run German cars anyway so what's not to like?
And talking of trade. Who needs trade deals with small places like India, the USA or Europe? Now we're finally out of the undemocratic talons of the lefty pro-business multi-headed beast in Brussels we can look further afield. Countries like Atlantis, Narnia and Neverland tell me that we're at the top of their lists to sign trade deals with!

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

The issue seems to be that as Cambridge Analytica is a US company, it should not have allowed to donate money or services to the Leave.EU campaign.
Quote:
Leave.EU under investigation over EU referendum spending
The Electoral Commission has launched an investigation into “potential offences” by Leave.EU over its spending during last year’s EU referendum campaign.
The campaign group, which was headed by Nigel Farage and the businessman Arron Banks, is understood to have worked with the data firm Cambridge Analytica, which uses social media to influence voters.
Cambridge Analytica’s involvement was not declared to the election watchdog, which has concluded that Leave.EU has a case to answer. If the commission decides that political spending laws have been breached, it can report the campaign group to the police.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...endum-spending

Nigel Farage suggests that Vote.EU is only being investigated now because of the general election but if I remember correctly, he's not throwing his hat in the ring anyway.

No he doesn't. You must really learn to read an article before you comment and link to it.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !

... and in other shock news an EU negotiator claims that an election result which strengthens May's position will have no bearing on the Brexit negotiations.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39681186

Yeah right, just like May losing seats wouldn't boost the EU's bargaining position. It'd be laughable if it weren't so pathetic.

Does anyone seriously expect any of the 'other side' to divulge anything which might have a beneficial effect on our negotiating position t the expense of theirs? Nope, they're going to bang on interminably about how they won't do this and we can't have that in order to try to weaken the UK's resolve, undermine HMG's position and secure the best deal they can for themselves. Anyone who doesn't think that, behind the scenes, major EU industrialists and their workforces are extremely concerned (and making representations to their governments) about possible adverse effects for them of Brexit is in about as much denial as the Eurocrats have shown themselves to be over the last few decades. We already knew that though didn't we because they're the ones who told us all about the imminent armageddon which would befall us should we have the temerity to leave the EU and are looking pretty silly right now.

Two points:
1. Nigel Farage's Tweet says "Could the timing of this be anything to do with the general election?" Which part of this Tweet are you disputing? For the avoidance of doubt, Vote.EU was a campaign.
2. We've all been advised to be polite in our postings for the good of this forum and reluctantly I'm struggling to see how your above post ticks this box.

1.Leave.EU under investigation.

2. Vote Leave, rather than Leave.EU, was the official Brexit campaign group. two different campaign groups.

3. Vote.EU is not mentioned anywhere in the article, I doubt it even exists.

4. I fail to see how my above post could be construed as impolite.
