"Theresa May’s bid to get Tory MPs to back her Brexit plan suffered a set-back as a new poll showed more than half of Conservative Party members prefer a no-deal withdrawal.

In a three-way choice, 57% of grassroots Tories said they would support leaving the EU without an agreement, while 23% would back the Prime Minister’s deal and 15% would choose to remain. A total of 5% had no preference.

A two-way referendum would see 29% of Tory members endorse the PM’s stance, with 64% voting for a no-deal Brexit, according to the YouGov poll funded by Economic and Social Research Council."

Poikka: Dutch firm floated the caissons for the Conway Tunnel, the Dutch have a long track record of marine works and land reclamation (Polders). No question of their ability or expertise. Issue is the award of a contract to an EU country to deal with our preparations for the no deal scenario. Conflict of interest, unless I'm missing something. Why would they wish to do a good job on time lol?

Well bob that was very good.....

You make a good point, diku. Everyone goes on and on about poor little persecuted Greece, but in fact they're a bunch of bone-idle crooks who retire before they leave school and get 3 months pay in December.

Good one bob, that's about the strength of it.

Breaking News

It has been announced that Theresa May has won a further EU/Brexit concession.

She has gained the choice of having either tea or coffee during the recesses in the discussions with the EU. Mrs May sees this as a potential step forward to further Brexit negotiations.

Most of the smaller Countries in the EU are only in...in a form of a name...



Do you remember the row between the EU. and Greece?
Germany had to be the main provider of funds to Greece, and argued it was unfair to provide taxpayers money to Greece when the retirement age in Germany was 67 and Greece refused to increase theirs to 60.

Greece refused to be 'bullied' by Germany and wanted them to pay up and go away.
Now Italy is increasing its debt to have a big give away, and expect the ECB to buy their debt at low interest rates.

Surprised that a Dutch dredger is being used at Ramsgate; they used to use a British bucket dredger. Could be that there's just not one available now that there are no large craft using the harbour. I'm ok with it; the Dutch are good at that sort of thing having far greater need than us.

"If Seaborne really is owned by the brother of a huge donor to the Conservative party, it would be serious corruption."

Indeed, Keyno.

[keyno] 03/1/2019 20:24

I look forward to the Eye's next issue to see what they say about Seaborne. Should make for interesting reading.

[excell1] 03/1/2019 20:05

Same as the last public document from David Cameron,waste of time and a waste of money.
As for using foreign dredgers, it's all done on purpose,as was the New Years European evening given to us by our infamous London Mayor.

Corruption

Agree shouldn't use EU contractors to dredge Ramsgate harbour. Should use British. We are buying British now wherever we can identify as our own NO DEAL preparation / initiative. Don't need to wait for the Government leaflet to tell us what to do lol. Can imagine what it will say, something along the lines 'bend down put your head between your legs and kiss your ---- goodbye'.

[m4rtinu] 03/1/2019 15:11

We can't even benefit from our own Brex-mess. As Polar points out a Dutch firm is to do the dredging at Ramsgate for Seaborne Freight(UK). DFDS (Denmark) and Brittany Ferries (France) are getting £50m a piece to provide additional ferry services.

Do we really not have a British company that could have done the dredging!

The vote timing/decision will be incredibly important for the markets - last night's 'flash crash' impact on sterling is an indicator. Wild and if you were on the right side (bearish GBP) it would have been very profitable.

The Damned "HATED EU"......






Mr. Connolly's credentials are impeccable. Having worked at the "Commission" for

many years, he is in place to write the most detailed and therefore damming

account of the lies and treachery surrounding the whole "Europe" project. This

book illuminates not only the historical but also the current U.K and European

political scene. With this book still available, there can be no excuse for

ignorance on the subject of Europe. The E.U. called the book "blasphemous": I

would call it "the truth" and if one has been reading anything about Mr. Connolly

and the European Courts, one would realise his strength under duress. At some

point, and I hope it's soon, Mr. Connolly will be seen as a Crusader for truth and

justice. Once you have read this, Europe will NEVER seem the same again.
