red devil Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I can't believe he's dragged that figure up again, it's been totally discredited, even Farage said it was a misleading figure the day after the referendum. This BBC article puts the figure at ?252m after the rebate...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41289080You then have to factor in the money that comes back to the UK through grants etc, and what about all the pre & post-Brexit costs for staff, buildings, new IT systems, infrastructure etc that's needed. And he's still banging on about not being in the Single Market but we should have free access to it. What an utter cockwomble...

Vick Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I wish the media would stop referring to Boris' ?350m figure as 'controversial'. It's not controversial it's false.

Seabag Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Im glad Boris has resurrected the ?350 million figure, it shows how utterly genius he is at figures. Look at the great job he did at the Mayor's office.I hope he get's the bus out of mothballs, that'd be brilliant !

JohnL Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hetan Shah, the executive director of the Royal Statistical Society, said: ?It is extremely concerning to see a minister seeking to undermine our independent statistical regulator. The UK is envied around the world for the independence of our statistical system and it is important that politicians are not seen to be compromising it.?Boris won't back down though.https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/sep/17/boris-johnson-slapped-down-statistics-chief-fresh-350m-brexit-claim Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/157024-brexit-view/page/22/#findComment-1176504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 So, the current negotiators look no closer to a deal than at the point we triggered Brexit.

Relax - it's only the future of 60 million at stake, it'll be fine. Everyone can just retreat to the country piles and use their rainy day Swiss funds until this all blows over in case it goes awry.
