Brexit: the referendum

I'm surprised, the Labour Party position is for Remain and so any party spokesperson would be expected to state that position.

There are individual Labour Party MPs who support Brexit, so maybe this was who was speaking and they were passing themselves off as a Labour Party spokesperson. Did you catch a name ?

No she is a prominant Labour party MP but the official Labour party position is for 'remain'. However like the Tories the individual MPs are free to campaign for the side they wish. The 'complaint' with your post is calling them a spokesperson for the party.
 
I mostly agree with the general theme. Most of the BRexiters I know seem to have found a target for general anger. For example a colleague says he'll vote out as his (and my) job is being offloaded to our cheaper Guangzhou developers. When I pointed out that we're only being consulted and getting support for other jobs and a reasonable package is because of our UK and EU laws that the exiters want to scrap, suddenly the issue is immigration and living under Sharia law. Totally irrational but he wants something to kick back at.

It seems a bit murky whether they were real LVs, out of date ones, or a homemade imitation. Some sources suggest they were only used for food and drink in the house, and that the girls made their own arrangements with punters, otehr that they could be used for both. I think the only thing that can be said for certain is that it was an attempt to circumvent the prostitution rather than the tax laws.

IIRR, and it's been a long time since I read her bio, they were real; they were purchased by clients and redeemed by her to the girls. I do remember a comments that a couple of the girls attempted to cheat her by buying additional vouchers from a stationary shop.

At the time I was only delivering newspapers, not reading them, so the details are a bit hazy! :cool:

Mobile shops tended not to carry them :p
 
Nissan is taking legal action against the Vote Leave campaign, after its logo was displayed in a Leave campaign leaflet.
The logo appeared in a pro-Brexit flyer alongside those of other major global manufacturers and a claim that Nissan would remain in the UK whatever the outcome.

The company said it hoped legal proceedings would prevent future "false statements and misrepresentations" appearing in Leave campaign literature.

Nissan executives have previously said the firm would like Britain to remain in Europe.

Nissan said the decision to lodge an injunction at the High Court came after repeated requests that Vote Leave stop using the company's logo had been ignored.

Toyota have lodged similar complaints but not taken legal action.

Sticking with the brilliant logic that The Bookies are better than The Pollsters I'm going for a fairly comfy 'remain' vote. 54-46.

Post your predictions here :)

There was a legal case recently of a man that caused permanent paralysis below the waste for two little girls by dangerous driving in a road rage incident where he tail-gated another woman.

The point is it turns out that judges can no longer give a sentence of more than five years for causing death or injury by dangerous driving. I was wondering to myself if this was just another daft ruling by the European Court of Justice.

At least with Brexit it would bring back English Justice, even if the theory of the perfection of English Justice is humbug.

From a different thread, which I have just noticed, and which seems appropriate.

It's pretty obvious by now that Henri must be using some kind of online gibberish generator. All posts follow the same format:

Three paragraphs

1/ I saw this person on some programme someday say this thing.
(Vague, inaccurate, no links)

2/ it reminds me of this entirely unrelated thing that is totally different.

3/ I don't like how another random unrelated thing is happening.
(It isn't even happening)

And in this case, of course #2 is incorrect as well.

ETA: Now he seems to have started putting his three points into a single paragraph.
