Maths lesson for Osborne n Cameron

[David Johnson]

?1.7bn - ?850m. + ?850m. = ?1.7bn.

Politics as buffoonery.

[Essex Lad]

It's not for them ? it's to try to fool the great unwashed.

[David Johnson]

I know and it is has failed completely.

I have yet to hear anybody argue in favour of their spin other than Cameron and Osborne. Even their own party e.g. Daniel Hannan aren't convinced, never mind every EU minister and expert in how the rebate works.

"It's not for them ? it's to try to fool the great unwashed."

Do you mean Ukippers?

[Arginald Valleywater]

Cameron is starting to piss off a lot of his own party. He wants an Asian PM in his lifetime. Harldy a vote winner with more right wing people?

[bernard72]

how come Ed Balls up made no mention of the rebate last week. Or
come to that anyone else. ?

[David Johnson]

The rebate has been in place since the 1980s so it would have been a bit like stating "It is now November".

And then Cameron and Osborne made their hilariously, cack-handed attempt to fill the British population with schoolboy bullshit so that everybody e.g. EU ministers, EU finance experts, members of all the UK political parties including Cameron's own, felt the need to explain why he was talking crap.

[bernard72]

So are you against us giving our fair share to Europe ?

[David Johnson]

No. I am against Osborne and Cameron bullshitting that they have forced the EU into knocking off half the bill. They haven't.

[Essex Lad]

As I said, Cameron and Osborne know it's bollocks but are desperate to appear to be pro-Eu (for the EU) and anti-EU (for the British public).
