Theresa's mercenaries getting itchy feet

[SirGalahad]

I agree with some of your points but not all.

not having to pay child/benefits to dependents of Migrants not living in UK

This is of our own making. No entry and exit checks makes it hard to enforce policies based on residency.

Not exclusive to the EU. We have lobbiest in the UK and what about party funding?

a very large (and growing) group of countries where the rich subsidise the poor and the problems of the poor migrate to the rich.

Subsidise the poor? You mean via taxes or something else?

What was the bailout if that wasn't the average guy paying for the mistakes in
the financial sector?

What was it then?

It was a vote to stay in the EU, incorporating all the future changes.

No kidding.

 

[noseall]

I have not misquoted, merely edited it. Of course staying in the EU would mean any future changes.

Why didn't you include 'any future payments or 'any future trade benefits' or 'any future rebates'.

FFS.

Because "changes" is as generic as I needed it to be. It allows scope for the upside as well as the downside. Which is something you're unable or unwilling to recognise.

Are these future changes more or less predictable than the future of Brexit?

Neither more, nor less. 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other.

I understand there will be changes. The EU is dynamic, of course there will be changes.
You phrased your post as if to say.......

Though a vote to stay in the EU back in referendum was not a vote for the comfortable, familiar, status quo.

....that changes were imminent.

What imminent EU changes are going to be uncomfortable and unfamiliar?

Off the top of my head -
Ever-closer political union
Tax harmonisation
An EU Army
Expansion to towards the East (a double-edged sword)
Further crap management of carbon trading scheme
Further dilution of animal welfare standards
Further hardening of Human rights legislation beyond that which is good for the many, not for the few...

On their website it says public body membership is 5% of their funding. So who is claiming it's more?

http://www.cbi.org.uk/business-issues/brexit-and-eu-negotiations/faqs-eu/

Yes. And while public sector members are a tiny proportion of our overall membership and represent less than five per cent of our income,

As to EU funding

This amounts to around £148,000 per year, representing around 0.6% of our annual income.

So let facts speak.

The link you have posted is from the CBI,

So let's be clear here. What are you implying?

They are not telling the truth?

Vinty has already been asked twice to show where the paper was not factual, lying or to post his own version showing one that is skewed towards anti-EU.
Guess what his response was.........

Trump's trade war could not have been timed better for the UK

Just when you thought, after the Brexit vote that things could not get worse, along comes Trumpy.

Where does the CBI receive its remaining 95% funding?
