Where is it Holiday season?
Is the UK still in the EU Paul? I need to know
DOn't y'all buy CHristmas presents?
Apparently, UKIP used £500,000 of EU money to campaign against the EU, and is now being asked to pay it back.
Every time there is a minor piece of good news regarding the UK economy, it's as if it's because of Brexit.
I have a feeling that this thread will still be going in four years time and I'll still be repeating the same thing
150k
God I hope not
According to shopping centres around this way its been Christmas for the past 3 weeks.
Farage should refund his MEP salary and expenses - he even got an increase in Sterling because of the exchange rate - no use to the Uk or the EU - conman and opportunist
Farage himself is one of the biggest skivers from parliamentary sessions. He is ranked 746th out of 751 MEPs when it comes to voting on things.

Stan's £150k figure was more accurate though:Can't make it up. Is that actually verified?

You give the impression of not really liking anyone, so I'm not sure why you'd give foreigners a free pass.
not in november!!!
Statements by you on matters such as immigration and the EU have lead to my "prejudice" about you. And don't feel sorry for me, I certainly don't feel sorry for you.
Linked to the value of the pound having dropped like a rock? People will be wary of what little savings they have being worth less and rather spend then watch it lose value.
There's no point arguing. It seems that a large part of society only want to believe what they want to believe. Objective and rational reasoning counts for little nowadays it seems. Facts are twisted all the time. People will take any old tripe published on social media as a given as well.
Even United effected by Brexit

October is not the holiday season.
It is good news, Brexit or no. Even if some here would sooner dine from a menu of negativity.
The results, which are better then economists had predicted, have been attributed to Autumn being...well Autumnal. As well as Halloween sales towards the ends the month.
Where i call for reforms of the system with which non-EU applicants presently contend? Where i've said that we should have taken in more asylum seekers this year, and criticised the Home Office? The petitions i've posted for migrant causes? There is more to this debate than your little European corner, you know.
Perhaps you are following an alternative definition of xenophobe: one can longer be considered a tolerant and nice human being, unless they accept the EU's FoM principle.

I dislike many politicians, some foreign some not. And I can't figure out why some want them to make decisions on our behalf.
Maybe it's the things you said such as blaming the state of Britain's public services and infra structure on immigration? How you defended the leave campaign's promises such as on NHS spending? Or maybe on things such as how you've claimed that the EU is Germany's puppet and that Germany and France are conspiring to take over Europe by the back door? Or even your post Brexit blind optimism about the British economy and your denial of the long term damaging effects caused by the devaluation of Sterling?
And if we don't agree to pay......??
Politicians are always going to make decisions on your behalf. All Brexit means in the short/medium term is that the politicians making those decisions will be the kind loving Tory ones, not those nasty European ones that want to impose evil things like strong workers rights on us.
Just workers rights....is that all you think they want to impose?
Strong workers rights? Maybe if you are fortunate enough not to live in the southern eurozone and actually have a job. The EU is a big business project and has been since the off (Jean Monnet was a Wall Street banker). There's a reason the hard left like Corbyn (and Benn before him) are against it.
Personally I wanted to remain and I can't stand Corbyn but let's not build the EU into something it's not.
Just off the top of my head, working hour maximums (and minimum breaks) were improved because of the EU.
Aaaaah, there he is again, wolfgang schauble speaking on behalf of EUtopia.
No doubt they improve at the micro level but the overall picture is large unemployment in the South (due to the euro straight jacket) and depressed wages in the West (the effect of immigration from the East).
There will be a lot of British ex-EU officials without a pension
EUtopia is feeling
That's ok.....it'll be far cheaper for us to pay them.
Quite the opposite.
The UK will be paying it's proportion of EU employee's pensions for decades to come. And the Brits that worked for them will get their share too, in turn.
Contracts is contracts, as they say.
So we're blaming the poor economies of the south on the EU now are we? Funny, because I seem to remember them being pretty shit before the EU too. Spain and Italy have been badly run economically for at least my entire lifetime.
Then we'll be in default on the billions in loans and grants we took from the EU, they will seek legal repairs against us and our already increasingly dodgy credit rating will drop to the level of Puerto Rico's. Good luck in signing all those beneficial trade agreements with the rest of the world then.

Not a fan of imperial. Metric is much neater.

I really don't understand the democratic argument.
Come on now, just get with the program. Anything negative = EU's fault.
Unreal to blame the EU for Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and other warmer countries with a huge majority of people having a different outlook on life, taxes, economy.
The EU is failing system
Its also the EU fault that sometimes countries appoint clowns as foreign secretaries
