    well, that is my opinion, if not quite so extreme!

      I note with interest that property prices are heading skywards again in Ireland - looks like Nama are going to be busy again when the next bubble bursts!

        In contrast, these are the UK's net contributions to the EU since 2013

        2013 - £10,465m
        2014 - £9,779m
        2015 - £10,763m
        2016 - £9,626m
        2017 - £8,909m
        2018 - £8,925m
        Total - £58,467,000,000

        We could've bought Ireland and gold plated the bastard place!
        And how do you explain the great economic growth UK endured since joining the EU (the highest among all EU members) despite being brutally robbed, year after year, of that money by the EU!?

          Well it could have been higher!

          This is the problem with economics. You just can't re-run things.....

              I see this as a general trend here. Many are eager to criticise my opinions, but when faced with a strong challenge to their opinions, they keep quiet as you have done on the Welsh tax issue.
              Let’s see... I posted 59 minutes ago, you edited your post 5 minutes later to deflect further with the “Welsh Tax Issue”, and now you’re saying that I didn’t mention something because I replied to your post before you added it in.

              You’re a fraud.

                    So if Boris can't get a GE?

                    The solution to the Welsh tax issue is simple:
                    1. Increase all taxes in Wales. Pension pots would be a good place to start.
                    2. Decrease spending on services in Wales. Healthcare, residential care, etc.

                    But the thing not to do is to invest money in the country. Because that doesn’t achieve anything from thankless benefits scroungers
