    The leave bus never said anything of the sort. It gave an alternative option for the £350 million, not a prediction of where it would be spent. The articles Swindon has quoted predicted what would happen, and all have been proven to be absolute rubbish 

    Everyday until 31/12/2020 is Brexitfoolsday.

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/budget-rushi-sunak-treasury-figures-brexit-dividend-a9395476.html

    Treasury figures from Budget confirm there was no £350m a week Brexit dividend

    The Treasury has confirmed that it will not be getting an extra £350 million a week after Britain stops paying into the EU budget, despite false claims by Brexiteers during the referendum.

    Britain is in fact expected to be overall poorer by £1,200 per person because of Brexit's economic drag, according to the government's spending watchdog.

    The chancellor's red budget book shows the gross EU contributions saved by the UK will be around £42 billion over the next five years, rather than the £91 billion claimed under the false figure publicised by Boris Johnson in 2016.

    I said 'someone in the Guardian' not 'someone from the Guardian', your changing the word is to change the meaning so that it fits your narrative. In so doing you have changed the fact to a non-fact. In other words you have created a lie. It's very sad that people need to create lies instead of accepting what is actually there in front of them in black and white. The need to create a fantasy instead of dealing with what's actually there. A life lived in denial isn't a rich experience. 

     

     

     

    RTB is auditioning for the disinformation unit.


  6. ‘I was at a hospital where there were a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody’ says Boris Johnson.’ (Sky News)

    Except that there were no Covid-19 patients at Kettering, and if there had been his shaking hands practice would have been against all medical advice.

    Someone on here keeps telling us that the grown ups are in charge, perhaps they could point out who these grown ups are supposed to be.

    Something significant must have happened, not sure what, but since 31st January we have had three storms, heavy flooding, the start of a pandemic and now snow. 

    Do we have to start killing our first born or am I mixing my biblical stories? 

    I think what happens next is that the North Sea will part and the lost tribe of Brexit will be able to reach the promised land, once the Leavers try to follow us the gap will close and they will drown in their own foolishness.

    I liked how he said that normally 25K US citizens die of the flu every year anyway. (Probably about the same as die in shootings) And nobody in the US has died of this virus. Well, statistically Donald, the same amount will die this year of the annual round of influenza. This virus is on top of the normal one.

    https://lawcenter.giffords.org/facts/gun-violence-statistics/

    It's about 36K each year for shootings, probably why they think it's not that importatnt to deal with Coronavirus properly.

    His 9% cut to the budget of the US centre for disease control might not have been his best move.

    He's beaten that one by appointing a man who doesn't believe in science to be in control of the USA response to Coronavirus.

    Unfortunately there are millions of people that simply can't afford to self isolate. At least two weeks off work with no cover, no safety net of sick pay, insecure jobs.

    If only we all had a grace and favour country mansion that we could disappear to. 😀

    It’s not a matter of truth, it’s your failure have any grasp of proportionality or business acumen. I should get back to handing out parking tickets if I were you, there’s a good lad.

    Parking Enforcement Officers do a very valuable job, don't be such a snob.

    You'd be the first to complain if an ambulance couldn't get to you if the road was blocked by illegally parked cars.

    Yes you're right, it doesn't include the little contracts that would have minimal value or profit to big companies. Pedantry of the highest order.....its easy to see why you're such a fan of the EU.

    So you're saying the tender for printing the new British passports was less than EUR139k. Okaaaay.....

     

    And the rest of the sentence "the general EU principals of transparency and equal treatment should be respected" should have provided a little clue to the clueless

    No. What you said was,

    Because of EU rules, the Government has to put all public contracts out to tender to all EU countries. The EU stops us from restricting it to UK companies only. 

    And I then informed you that it's not all public contracts.

    https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/selling-in-eu/public-contracts/public-tendering-rules/index_en.htm

    When and how EU rules apply?

    All public procurement procedures in the EU are carried out on the basis of national rules. For higher value contracts, these rules are based on general EU public procurement rules.

    The value limits (thresholds) that mark when EU rules are used depend on the subject of the purchase, and who is making the purchase. These thresholds are revised regularly and the amounts adjusted slightly (next revision is due in 2020).

    The main limits are:

    • EUR 139 000 for most types of  services and supplies purchased by central government authorities
    • EUR 5 350 000 for construction contracts

    You can check the detailed public procurement thresholds or verify the limits directly with your national rules.

    For lower value tenders, only national public procurement rules apply but the general EU principals of transparency and equal treatment should be respected.

    Another Brexit lie busted.

    No we shouldn't 'all know that by now' because it is rubbish.

    Debts were cleared pre-promotion (aside from the £5m we borrowed off the fans for the Colney upgrade). So no the cash hasn't helped to clear debts or build the academy/facilities.

    We're debt free, will have a turnover of over £100m this season, likely to see our highest ever play sales happen this summer and two years of parachute payments coming in. The idea we can't compete to sign the best players from teams like Blackburn or Reading is ridiculous.

     

     

    Didn't we make a loss in the year we got promoted?
