EU referendum: Brexit 'could boost NHS by £100m a week'

[bemildred]

Leaving the European Union could allow the government to spend an extra £100m a week on the NHS by 2020, leading Brexit campaigners have said.

Justice Secretary Michael Gove called on the government to pledge the money in the event of an EU exit - saying it could come from the UK's EU budget.

It came after Mr Gove took part in a televised Q&A, urging voters to "take back control" from "Europe's elites".

The PM said the Leave campaign was writing cheques it knew would bounce.

1. Fuck the EU and their bureaucrats

2. It does appear to cost a bundle and do little in return.

The pro-EU types seem to rely on sticks, not carrots, to keep people in line. You'd think if it was such a good deal, it would be easy to make that argument, instead all I hear is threats: banktruptcy, doom, death, destruction!!!!, not improved public services or better jobs or less work and stress, it's all about staviing off doom.

And then we are supposed to think they are doing a great job of running things. Right.

"Tell the telemarketers to stop calling!!!"

Someone ought to explain to all these marketing wizards about the law of diminishing returns.

7. Now I'm listening to the "news reports", that's hilarious.

And yet our leaders wonder why Trump's methods are effective.

8. You might want to check out the British trade unions on the EU referendum

On Thursday 23 June British voters will decide if Britain should continue its membership of the European Union or leave.

Working people will have a big stake in the referendum because workers’ rights are on the line. The TUC is concerned that leaving the EU puts at risk many vital workplace rights currently underpinned by EU law – paid holidays, extra maternity rights and better conditions for part-time workers, as well as many better jobs in export-reliant industries.
