[JP_]

I guess we haven't quite taken back control yet.

Selling England by the pound. Expect more of this under Tory rule.

Fantastic news that they've found a buyer, especially for the workers. What I can't understand is why on earth, given that we're leaving the eu, why another country would invest in this country?, strange.

I'm willing to buy all your five-pound notes. I'll give you one Euro for each.

You make it sound like a public asset was sold off. That happened many years ago.

"64% of the 1,500 adults polled in June 2018 said they would support renationalising the railways. 19% said they would oppose it, and 17% said they didn’t know. The results are similar to other polls done on the question."

No

Did you realise the trains are state owned currently?

 

[SirGalahad]

The irony of Brexiteers voting for leaving the EU on the back of lies of Turkey accession only to cheer now when the Turkish Army Pension Fund is buying British Steel.

 

[Notch7]

Majority voted brexit

Nah...you are wrong.

52 to 48 voted to leave the EU.

And the parliament has reflected that split, hence why we havent left and never will
