Same as all the other Westminster lies & pish you lot invest in. Complete BS. Your glorious leader in waiting Jacob Reece millionaire fancy pants mogg said there may be no benefit to the UK from Brexit for 50 years. Hope you are stockpiling tins of spam & beans. Vulnerable aye? Just send em doon yhe food bank. Its the tory way. Evasion. Where is your line line in the sand? Answer the question or are you afraid of an unwelcome comparison between you and Rees-Mogg - you know how he works, the “trust me, it will be fine” school of wishful thinking alongside an unwillingness to answer a similar set of questions about cost of Brexit from Anna Soubry. As for Rees-Mogg, I have no time for him or the Brexiteers. From my perspective, they peddle the same brand of chauvinism, disguised racism, greed and grievance as the Nats. The irony is that the Nats don’t see the comparison. Incidentally, the “Frigate Factory” as you call it is hard at work churning out warships for the RN and, with only the current order book, will be doing so for the next decade and a half (unless your Independence dream sees the work moved south). Further down the Clyde, Faslane is expanding to accommodate the remainder of the Submarine Flotilla and is engaging with business and the community to allow them to take advantage through contracts, employment, apprenticeships and so on. Ignore or talk down the value of all of that as much as you like - it is there, it is growing and is a major contributor to the local and wider economy. Are you prepared to risk those jobs and that income? As for the, as you so eloquently put it, “lies and pish” - look no further than the White Paper or the “£trillions of oil wealth” - the “Kuwait of the North”.

Lack of an answer suggests that you are for independence at any cost. Just like Rees-Mogg, you wouldn’t care if 100 or 100,000 lost a job, if taxes went up, if services were cut or if the weakest in society were to be disadvantaged - it would all be worth it.

Pans Jambo Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So every Tory that voted for Brexit still wont admit that they have encouraged the country to make a bad choice because they are too embarrassed to admit that they have made a massive ‘james hunt’ of it. Lies to cover up the lies. And now they want to tell us that they THINK they can still get a good deal from the EU (aye right, that ship sailed over a year ago) but just in case they dont, they are stockpiling medicines, blood products and food!!! FFS! Wake up! Its not war time but we might run out of food & medicines! WT actual F? Who voted for this lot? Are you not ashamed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposed to be impartial. Mouth piece fot the UK Govt more like. Then theres the stories that they intentionally dont report. 33rd out of 33 for 4 years on the bounce. Why? It's a trust poll of the public of printed press. So it's hardly an academic study of the levels of bias that may or may not exist in the press. Historically the British press (the papers) have been entitled under freedom of speech to have an editorial opinion. I see no reason to change this so long as it is not abused and doesn't lead to mistruths being shared - ala McKenzie over Hillsborough. So regulation is needed to be improved orat the least better sanctions - i.e. apologies on page 1. But low trust ratings here are a lot to do with things like Phone Hacking, Leveson and other historic failings of our tabloid press. I like the BBC bias argument - I assume chucked in for effect because it's broadcast media not printed press which your trust rating is about. It's very revealing. Everyone says its not impartial. Yes supporters, Noers, Brexiteers, Remainers, Tories/SNP/Labour/Liberals... all say it's biased. I'd argue that suggests it's actually doing a good job on impartiality and holding everyone's feet to the fire. But you do need to perhaps look beyond the usual culprits or the idea of monolithic conspiracies in the media. A few of these gripes are down to editorial control and decisions. LBC has been praised for sometime by many but is now increasingly underfire as a platform for some odd members if the far right. BBC Radio 4's Today show has been criticised - rightly - for some guests, story choices and the prevalence it gives some views. But those aren't symptoms of a biased MSM. It's symptom of individual errors by editors. Frankly journalists - like politicians, judges, parking wardens and lawyers - are always at the bottom of trust ratings. So again I don't see how your point gets to how the trust level shows some sort of conspiracy. What you're actually advocating in your BBC point is for a more partisan broadcast press which picks campaigns it can buy into. Like the printed press. There's a few good reasons we dont have this and one is the abject failure of the US or Russian broadcast media to not show a blatant and actual political bias at all times. Which no broadcast media in the UK is allowed to do from Sky News to C4 to BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if you think Brexit will be a mess economically for some time till the economy readjusts then you have to accept there will be some economic hardship while Scotland builds itself into a new reality post-Yes vote? I mean that article says if social care, health and welfare spending are to be protected as much as the Growth Commission said then there'll be 15% cuts in other departments like education, local government and defence. In effect it's not as cost neutral to people as is suggested. Much like Brexit is turning out to be a money burning exercise for little.
