Boris & His Bus Vindicated (Again)

[Khandro]

The High-Court agrees that £350 million is an acceptable figure & this creep can repent at his leisure;

OK, so we should take your word for the economy being better ... or should we ask the merchants what they think?

That's the Federation of Small Businesses, the Confederation of British Industry and the British Retail Consortium all expressing concern over a no-deal Brexit. To quote one of them: "The only certainty no deal brings is years of fraught negotiations with the EU, and neglect of the domestic policy agenda. We forget about the UK economy at our peril.”

NJ Khandro quoted a wholly misleading article about a misleading referendum pledge.
Rather then let it lie we prefer to challenge it.
That is all.
I’m sure you’d do the same.

Take no notice of the CBI. They have been spectacularly wrong on just about every major issue they have pontificated on. The others will have to deal with the cards they are dealt with. Businesses will cope - it's what they do. Those that are savvy enough will thrive. Apart from that, Brexit is about more than trade and trade has been allowed to overshadow everything else.

is this the CBI that said we'd be up the pictures if we didn't join the euro?

This thread is about the £350M that will stop being paid to Europe and will be paid to the NHS instead. The point of talking about trade is to show what a cynical lie that claim was, since we may actually be worse off out of Europe and so any extra paid to the NHS would have to come from other funds or debt.

Ellipsis; //This thread is about the £350M that will stop being paid to Europe and will be paid to the NHS instead. //

Is it? Two courts have decided the sum is not inaccurate & the suggestion (on the bus) didn't say there was any compulsion for that sum to go in that direction, "let's spend it on the NHS" was a suggestion, not a pledge, why can't you see that?

'An effort to prosecute Boris Johnson over his claim that the U.K. pays £350 million per week to the EU was thrown out by a London court today.

Two High Court judges took just five minutes to quash a decision by a lower court to allow the case to proceed to criminal trial, the Evening Standard reported.'

[Old_Geezer]

The merchants would prefer an easy life with less to do. Doesn't mean we don't have the ability to make good deals when a bit of effort is needed. Those who can't ought not be in the job anyway, let them give way to those with real ability.

[THECORBYLOON]

KHANDRO, now you say, "Two courts have decided the sum is not inaccurate & the suggestion (on the bus) didn't say there was any compulsion for that sum to go in that direction, "let's spend it on the NHS" was a suggestion, not a pledge, why can't you see that? "

Where in the judgement have they made those claims?

[Mozz71]

Looks like that barrel bottom is getting a good scraping in trying to justify the Brexit *** Bus.

[Old_Geezer]

The bus needs no justifying. The ludicrous claims against it do.

[ichkeria]

Yes I think if I was a barrel I’d be suing for maltreatment :-)

[THECORBYLOON]

OG, KHANDRO appears to be having problems finding the parts in the judgement supporting his claims.

Can you help?

[Zacs-Master]

I posted a link to the judgement which is easily searchable (danny). None of Khandro's quote appears anywhere in it. Maybe he should have used a more reliable 'news' source eh?
