QUOTE (Strafin @ Apr 8 2019, 11:51 AM) Thing is.. you can laugh and take the mickey, but Sir William, has literally made up a figure and cited it as fact. But if someone questions it, the ridicule goes their way because we live in a post truth world now where lying is not only accepted - on this forum it's encouraged! There was someone on another forum who asked how it was that she had to pay VAT on the oil used in her car service when the garage would have already paid the VAT when they bought it so it was being paid twice. She’s a nut job Brexiteer that believes in 2021 the EU will have control of the UK budget and thinks all our MPs should be sacked for having not left the EU already. She can’t grasp VAT but thinks she knows more than our MPs. They walk among us.

I often think that the media "hunt" the mentally challenged down in order to feed the perception that any given sector is as thick as two short planks when it comes to subject appraisal. When was the last time you heard someone on a vox pop utter something profound? No, because empty vessels also gravitate.

She can’t grasp VAT but thinks she knows more than our MPs. They walk among us. Maybe she'd read this, "The European Commission will check eurozone countries' draft budgets to verify whether they are in line with EU rules and will ask for changes if they are not, under a deal struck today (20 February) with the European Parliament, which adopted the so-called two-pack bundle of legislation." "It gives the Commission an extra level of oversight on member countries' budgets. Governments are free to ignore the commission's recommendations but risk EU legal action by doing so." So you can see where she might have been confused, what with it apparently already being passed into law. Old people huh, what yer gonna do?

Post a link to your 'gone viral 😂' post. Cos the EU deciding what our national budget will be looks, on the face of it the same thing.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Apr 10 2019, 06:06 PM) In the meantime; https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/...udget-agreementNaughty Italy. Fancy trying to do your own budget, tsk! Membership of the EU includes a commitment to a certain level of fiscal control and debt management. You’d be at the front of the queue complaining if countries were behaving with a lack of fiscal control and impacting on EU budgets.

It does to me anyway so what point is newres trying to make we wonder?

Sounds a teensy weensy bit like the EU will be overseeing our budgets then.

And as you've not shown the slightest shred of evidence to contradict that we can only assume you either made it up, or, you're 13. Possibly both.
