Aren't vacuum cleaners in general not now shit because some knobs in Brussels/Strasbourg decided that they have to have shitty little motors on them?

Asked what a leave vote would mean for the health service, Osborne said: “If we quit, the NHS will be worse off.”

The chancellor, who ditched planned cuts to personal independence payments following a backlash after his budget, said Brexit could put cuts to support for disabled people back on the agenda.
Over to you bish

:conf: the chancellor is a spunk-trumpetting knobhead - I believe I have made this clear many times!

Nah, they've stopped shitty inefficient big motors being used. It's like a lot of cars here. They often don't sell the more efficient models with smaller but just as powerful engines, because it's cheaper to put a much bigger less efficient engine in due to the fact no one gives a shit about petrol prices.

I seem to remember hair dressers sounding off too because of the shitty little motors that they were being ordered to use in their dryers.

Presumably the same thing, but I can't claim to know anything about hair dryers having not used one for at least 2 decades :D

The EU has a lot to answer for, but I don't think kettles and vacuum cleaners are high on the list of stupid things they've done.

Been going on for a few years this case, strange they rule in the UK's favour just over a week before the vote.

Establishment conspiracy :grin: ?

The EU on the grounds that the UK was discriminating against other EU citizens over entitlement to residency to make a claim for the UK rate of benefit.

Alan Johnson says Brexit would make immigration situation worse


Alan Johnson, chair of Labour In for Britain, was also on the Today programme this morning. Here are the key points from his interview.
Johnson rejected claims that Labour had been unwilling to talk about immigration.

We’ve talked about immigration all the way through this by the way. Sometimes people haven’t been listening to us ...
He said leaving the EU would make the immigration situation worse.

The argument we’re making is, look, there’s three types of immigration: there’s immigration from outside the EU, there’s illegal immigration, and there’s free movement. Of those, free movement gives us the benefit of the single market.

Our argument is remaining part of the single market helps us to control the other two forms of immigration. If we leave, the situation is going to be worse. We won’t be protected by the Dublin Accord. If anyone believes that our UK border in Calais is going to survive us leaving the EU then once again they’re in the realms of fantasy. Of course it won’t, that will make the issue much worse.
Didn't some folk once want this idiot to lead Labour? :lmfao:

Labour, playing it right up leave's street, Corbyn gets his dream of out by default turning the 'knob heads' out in favour of remain.

I also notice super politician Clegg's Spanish wife wading in :lol:
This is a club where everybody gets a say. You cannot be there and expect that others are going to reform it for you. I am all in favour of reform. The European Union is crying for reform. Proper reform. Not that Mickey Mouse negotiation that the prime minister did. The biggest reform that the EU needs is growth. We need growth in Europe.

She also said that she though the UK was “sleepwalking towards disaster” because it might vote for Brexit.

I believe that this country is sleep walking towards disaster. It will not only be a disaster in this country it will be a disaster for Europe and across the whole world. In my life I have never gone through another moment when I have thought we are in the history books.
