I didn't ignore it.  I'd already answered it, about a million times; most recently on page 1249.

No you didnt you sidestepped it

 Which probably means you are non plussed about poor people getting a raw deal while the middle class prosper, but everyone to their own.

If there’s more poor people how will they get less of a raw deal? Or is it a race to the bottom?

It’s probably lost back in the midst of time. But I think we asked our eurosceptic friends to name 5 measures of success which would apply 3 years after leaving.  Should be fucking easy. We could then check. On your marks...

You seem to have deliberately shifted the argument, the link states how the low paid suffer from the eu free market trade in low paid workers, you have for some strange reason decided to ignore it and talk about something different but no worries carry on, as you were.

Without wanting to get sucked in to this neverending argument- do you not accept that leaving the EU is going to make things worse for many of the people you purport to care about? And doing so under this particularly vile government is going to be an utter disaster for them and for many others?

A lot of "them" as you put it have suffered the brunt end whilst the middle and upper class have made hay. 

 

Report on the effects of eu policy on the poor below, it's not good reading

Still nice to see "them" being taken into consideration on here for once even if it is in the usual derogatory manner.

This. Again.

 

A "very small impact" which falls disproportionately on lower-paid/less educated people, as a result of the anti-union policies of the kind of Tories who have been most ardently pro-Brexit.

There you go, plums. Not "sidestepped" at all. Lower paid UK workers are vulnerable to being undercut because the UK has chosen to restrict the rights of workers. 

 

You have still never answered how we improve things for working class people by (a) stripping workers of some of their rights; and (b) concentrating more power into the hands of the worst neoliberal extremists in over 30 years.

I think it needs a new name.

 

Maybe "Queen Anne's Revenge" (nee "Concorde") as you head out to plunder the free (trade) world.
 

Or perhaps "Endurance" (nee "Polaris")? Something tells me it's going to be a rough trip--you're going to need resolute leadership, strong crew solidarity, and unequaled feats of navigation to get through it unscathed.

The Bounty for when the Tories turn on him.

To spend a million pound of tax payers money painting a plane, especially in these times is a disgrace.

Apparently it’s a tanker fitted out to be a VIP jet but is on standby should one of the regular tankers break down.  It’s a quick job to rip out the seats and put the ‘real’ equipment back in.  Now, they’ll have to also strip off the £1m paint job too.  Madness.

I'm sure once the Tories have got rid of all that pesky red tape  then things will be so much better.

Not the point. People can multitask,  they can hate more than one organisation at the same time and the free market is a dressed up policy for the movement of cheap labour, the results on the bottom end are plain to see.

Of course it's the point, leaving the EU and scrapping its working directives is going to make things worse for large swathes of the population. That- and getting around the tax avoidance laws- is one of the main reasons Brexit is so attractive to the Britannia Unchained cunts now in government. They're not doing it to help the 'little man' or redress inequality.

There is no red tape for Europes poor. I can send you a link if you need a more informed opinion.

No thanks, I've seen your links before. You usually start posting them when someone asks- how will leaving the EU make things better?
