The Prime Minister has accused Boris Johnson of "getting it wrong" on the EU and said he hoped for a "civilised and reasonable" debate.
I noticed two things wrong with that headline.

1st "civilised and reasonable" debate - As if..:har:
2nd For ten years ToffBoy has been hostile towards the EU and now he jumps over the wall, question is why and how much secret money did he get? :03:

Nadine Dorries: Cameron should go if he loses EU vote

Conservative MP Nadine Dorries says she believes David Cameron should stand down as PM if the British people vote to leave the EU in June's referendum. The MP for Mid Bedfordshire, a long-term critic of David Cameron who is backing the Leave campaign, told LBC Radio.

"If the British public vote to leave the EU, I would imagine and hope the first thing David Cameron would do is stand down as prime minister."
Fat chance, you got better odds catching him fondling a pig. :haha:

Justice Secretary Michael Gove has challenged David Cameron's claim his renegotiation deal with EU leaders over the UK's membership is legally binding.
Mr Gove, one of five cabinet ministers calling for the UK to quit the EU, told the BBC the European Court of Justice could throw out some of the changes.

Prime Minister David Cameron, campaigning for Britain to stay in the European Union, has the edge over London Mayor Boris Johnson, the most popular figure in the "Out" camp, in trying to sway the key group of undecided voters, a new poll indicated.
We the pollsters are taking you for a ride again by ringing more people we know will vote to stay in. :03:

^It ap-peers so :O:

However he is wrong stating UK was coupled to a failing economy. It is not failing at all, indeed it has the biggest growth since 2007. Say Guardian and Telegraph :hmmm:

The falling oil price has reduced the EU's inflation rate to almost zero, which - against the thinking of some icluding Lord Owen - has given strong impulse to the EU's economy. Germany does not need low inflation to export goods (of course any who earn their living here through work like it), but nations like Spain or Italy are currently striving because of it.

Are yes consumer spending pushing up consumer personal debt.

George Osborne doubles the national debt!

UK's Osborne warns of deeper spending cuts after growth falls short
http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-bri...-idUKKCN0VZ2IJ

What happen to all is going well and green shoots everywhere and the 5th largest economy in the world?

This is nothing to what I was hearing on the radio last night which concerns me. The latest PONZI scam is now out of control and another recession is on its way, we in the UK are going to get hit so hard thanks to Osborne's numbers that don't add up. Like all PONZI scams the clock is ticking and you just don't know when it will go off, all you know is it will go off.


Of course the Tories will make the most of this chance as the country is to rapped up in the referendum to notice.

I wonder if this could be used as a opportunity for Labour? :hmmm:

The prime minister's battle to keep his country in the European Union - and save his political future - may depend on the campaigning power of his fiercest rivals: the Labour Party.
http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-bri...-idUKKCN0VY1YD

Odds of any success in bringing ToffBoy down are against unless Labour wakes up now for better odds of 50/50 but I fear this will be a missed opportunity to inflict real damage on ToffBoy and the Tories.

Nice to see Jeremy wasting his time in London yesterday speaking against the current Labour position on nuclear weapons.

SNOOPERS CHARTER TWO, 300 PAGES TO BE RUSHED THOUGH PARLIAMENT NEXT WEEK?


That's the spirit while most people are looking at the EU sneak that one though.

Next few months will be a great opportunity sneak this and that though Parliament.

Jimbuna 02-29-16 03:39 PM

You have to be in a majority before you have that ability.

Meanwhile...Sturgeon warns Cameron against 'negative' campaign tactics.
