tinfoilhat Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Im quite sure the democratic people would like the midland mainline electrifying but that's not happening. Ramsgate is getting a upgrade because of the failure of our politicians. And I'm paying for it. You know who are going to do alright? These pizza-delivery boys/ferry company!

The democratic people who voted to leave the EU are still paying contributions to the EU budget over two and half years after the EU referendum vote and will continue to pay contributions for at least another two years if Mrs May's deal is approved by Parliament. Your point is very weak. Edited January 3, 2019 by Lockdoctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) 31 minutes ago, Lockdoctor said: As I stated yesterday if the democratic UK people had voted to remain in the EU and a contact and been awarded two and half years later to a ferry company operating from Ramsgate port involving £14 million of taxpayers money then the story would have struggled to make the national news. The only reason this story has made the national news is because too many people such as yourself don't respect the democratic referendum result and look for problems regarding every decision the UK Government make regarding implementing the choice the democratic UK made in June 2016. The fact is Thanet District Council would have still wanted to have the ferry port at Ramsgate operating again even if the democratic UK people had voted to remain in the EU and would have used taxpayers' money to achieve their aim. Forget brexit, is it right for the BRITISH government to pay £14m to a ferry company that A: has no ferries B: has no haulage or ferrying experience 😄 has copied and pasted their terms and conditions from a pizza delivery website rather than devised some suited to their area of business? D: not putting it out to tender for bids but said firm still manages to snag it privately sound business plan?

If you think that a government shipping contract of £14m should be given to a company with no ships, at a non-functioning port, who have pinched some terms and conditions from their local takeaway, that's fine, we'll just let that sit here - I'm sure your support is welcome in Chris Graylings office.

Your point is very weak. The UK was an EU member state before the referendum, and still is until end March. It has been, and still is, getting the full benefits of EU membership, including structural EU investments, to this day; and will continye doing so until end March. It will keep many of those benefits until the end of the transition period, if it signs up to the withdrawal agreement. You're saying above, that the UK should have got all those benefits free of charge since 24 June 2016, and should keep getting them until end 2020 free of charge. That's so much beyond cakeism, as to reside firmly within the realm of insanity. Your posts are not so much desperate, as downright ridiculous now. And -speaking of "weak point"- utterly pointless by reason of same. Edited January 3, 2019 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also makes sense to charter ferries in the early stages of the new business. They evidently have knowledge and experience of the tory party and fast food ordering terms. If that fills you with confidence then I have some very reasonably priced elephant repellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L00b Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Just now, retep said: Falling on deaf ears or not falling for scaremongering, (...) Falling on deaf ears: holding both long-predicted consequences that are already happening before Brexit (proven, and costing UK plc) and long-predicted worse consequences sure to happen post-Brexit (your government is now spending real taxpayers' money, your money, to try and mitigate them) as "scaremongering", is the very definition of "deaf ears". Sad that you're still falling for The Express bilge-grade 'journalism' after all these years. You don't have to lower yourself to the Guardian for finding unbiased journalism, you know. The FT and the New Statesman are both pretty good for objective reporting and balanced views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
