Another defeat for Dave ?.....that wafer-thin majority is looking very dodgy isn't it !

couldn't give a rats plaster about the Queens speech but if it means we don't let the EU/US wreck the NHS then great. Or would you rather give your EU buddies a go at trashing the NHS just so you can gloat in here about a government defeat?

I am totally opposed to TTIP it is not a good deal and it was negotiated in secret hoping to slip through another piece of legislation without anyone noticing. I couldn't give a rats who gets defeated, humiliated or whatever as long as it doesn't get through.

Goodness...what a lot of rats !

Most observers believe that the TTIP is extremely unlikely to be signed in the next five years and many believe it will never be implemented.

The UK has never had a trading agreement with the US and yet the US is one of our biggest export markets (about £50bn each way last time I looked). So it seems it ain't broke so there's no need for a fix. Of course the EU may choose to force it through especialy if it is not particularly favourable to the UK. So vote leave if you don't want that to happen.

I sincerely hope that TTIP is never signed, it sounds like a disaster will result.
As NJ says.

The wafer thin majority would be looking thin were there a credible alternative
Though it grieves me to say it

If you wish to have a go at Cameron, have a go at him for leading the 'IN' campaign.

If he gets defeated on that, it will be more damaging for him than any revolt over the Queen's Speech.

AOG....I am voting STAY, so I couldn't possibly "have a go at him" for that, could I ?

[ToraToraTora]

"Im voting stay" - well rub me down with the EU regulations on cabbages! I knew that before you did, not exactly news mikey!
