State pension

I'm assuming this will apply to MP's pensions as well?

All this on the same day we find out Gary Lineker gets paid £2m to talk balderdash about football

I wonder what the people who voted to come out of the EU on immigration grounds will make of the article Maringer linked to. They will say it's lefty scaremongering i suppose but it's too late now.

Quoted from Maringer

OK, it's not likely to be Logan's Run territory, but still...  

So I had the idea of shoving lots of old people onto old cruise ships, sailing them over to somewhere where nursing care is super cheap and moor up. Relatives can fly over to visit if they want, but the old people get lovely warm weather, good healthcare at an affordable price to the country...with the occasional shipping disaster. I was going to call it Carousel Cruises.

Mmmm a left wing think tank article in the anti-Brexit Guardian.

The words Bull & excrement spring to mind.

Anyone with half an ounce of sense is anti-Brexit, but there you go.

As for me linking a report from a left-wing think tank which is open about it's funding, well, there's nothing wrong with that.

Feel free to link to reports from any of the right-wing think tanks we hear so much about in the media such as Policy Exchange, Adam Smith Institute and Institute of Economic Affairs etc etc who for some reason refuse to reveal who actually funds them. They must be trustworthy, eh?

That said, even these palpably dishonest right-wing think tanks don't support Brexit, so that might be a trouble.

In your opinion, shame not more voted to stay then so obviously not enough with 1/2 an ounce of sense.

Apparently not, though I'd hope that a lot of those who voted to leave had just been misled by the dishonest claims of some of the more rabid Brexiteers. Regardless, the overall quality of the debate was so poor that most people didn't have a clue what leaving the EU would entail even as they voted. Just like most of the politicians in government now. And many of those outside it, for that matter.

The negotiations have barely begun and it is cringeworthy just how poorly prepared we already appear to be. Not surprising when you see the clowns who have been put in place to take the fall when it goes mammaries up.

I beg to differ every home in the Country was given this biased propaganda and the Majority still voted out we knew exactly what we was voting for.

A once in a generation decision it concludes.... we are leaving so accept it.

Any Prime Minister with any sense at all would not have given the country the right to leave,

IF they felt there was any chance of us voting to leave ,

BUT

He did and we did so lets see what happens before there is any more doom and gloom posts.
