This is a two way street. The fact that Corbyn still survives is also an indictment of how bad the opposition is. .

It's taking an awfully long time to kill him off! .

True, but survival is also a form of winning. It's almost the only winning most ever experience. .

Oh I don't know, he may be the perfect person to run a coalition, since sitting on the fence doesn't involve disagreeing with anyone on anything. Peace in our time as Chamberlain once said! And he appears to be able to work with anyone, just look at his front bench lineup. ;) Perhaps not so...

Excepting "Couldn't make up my mind", those all in the minority I think. I'd guess the majority who abstained were confused and didn't really understand what's involved. .

Here's a much more simple answer. If all trade between the UK and the EU ceased after we left, it would cost each man, woman and child in the EU under £900 in lost exports. It would cost each man, woman and child in the UK over £4300 in lost exports. In other words, we need the EU nearly five...

I've carefully read and considered every one of them and find nothing to disagree with. As OG says, it's near to impossible to construct a sensible list for leaving. Vince Cable's mostly false reasons accompanied by him regularly interjecting "possibly" is about as far as that gets. .

Not just the tax but the costs of their 35 hour week. Vietnamese employees certainly don't have that benefit, nor catering workers in Britain. .

Not my incorrect data as you well know. The site the chart came from was illustrating the ten most expensive against the ten least expensive in the world, so no doubt taking the highs and lows for those charts. You didn't appear to notice that I also posted this above: "But all these and more...

It seems you missed that the prices on the chart I posted were inclusive of hotel, taxis, meals, entertainments etc., the whole typical holiday expenditure. .

Staying somewhere inexpensive it seems and hitching instead of using taxis. ;)

But you weren't holidaying there. Anyway, try these places for more expensive. .

But all these and more have become more expensive per night:

Zero rated isn't involved in cheating since input VAT can be reclaimed. It's companies supplying exempt VAT items who could cheat if they claim input VAT on those items, which isn't allowed under the rules. As well as the Exempt and Zero Rated classifications, there's also the third class...

I've no idea of the extent. There's two rules possibly involved. The other one concerns reclaims of input VAT and the difference between Exempted VAT items and Zero Rated VAT items. Companies can reclaim input VAT on zero rated, but input VAT cannot be reclaimed if a company supplies VAT...

Whethere the story is genuine or not, the UK is guilty. Under the basic rules of the community from the outset of our entering the EEC, the law forbade any VAT liable item from being exempted. The most that could happen was reduction to a 5% rate. We conformed at first, for example reducing...

That's because it's not a club but a serious attempt to become a single European country, one that almost all the other 27 agree with and all have signed up to. .

If we were remaining, that would be largely paid for by an EU grant. .

I didn't say in the world, I said in England, and the most privileged sect then and there was the Church of England by an immense margin. What privileges for Catholics? The gradual removal in the 19th century of centuries of discrimination is not privilege, just righting of wrong by removal...

Certainly not in England in the 19th century. During that century some of the large number of discriminative laws were gradually repealed , but it wasn't until 1974 that a Catholic could be Lord Chancellor. And we still have the Act of Settlement that prevents us having a Catholic monarch or...
