"On Thursday Poland's top court ruled that key articles of EU law were "incompatible" with the constitution." - looks like Poland also have their share of remoaners.

Spending an extra £350m per week on the NHS would be a waste - probably go in inflated admin salaries.

If people interpreted what was written on the side of the bus as "Instead of spending all this money on the EU, let's spend it on the NHS", that seems entirely reasonable.
If people interpreted it as "Instead of spending all this money on the EU, let's spend it on something else, like, maybe, the NHS ... or maybe something else not named here, like wiff waff" ... well, then they must be entirely happy now.

vulcan: "Any sentence, spoken, written on the side of a bus or any other vehicle, starting with the words let us (let's) is a suggestion, not a promise. "
elipsis: "In your opinion" - err no, it's called English it's not an opinion it's a basic sentence construct. I am amazed at how many remoaners seem to struggle with this very simple concept.

> If your opinion differs please explain how a suggestion is a promise
It's your opinion it was a suggestion, not mine!
If the campaign had been liberally scattered with other "suggestions", like ...
We send the EU £350m a week // Let’s fund adult social care instead
We send the EU £350m a week // Let’s fund education instead
We send the EU £350m a week // Let’s fund our armed forces instead
We send the EU £350m a week // Let’s fund UK businesses instead
... then I might agree that each was a "suggestion" of how the money could be spent. But that isn't what "they" did, is it? They only made one "suggestion", and the word "instead" means alternatively to the thing that was being done (funding the EU). I'm therefore of the opinion that it was a lot more than a suggestion - they were saying, in big letters on the side of their bus, that if they had that money that they weren't sending to the EU, they'd spend it on the NHS instead. Basically weaponising the NHS, quite cynically as it turns out since they ended up offering a 1% pay "rise" after all that Covid threw at it.

Boris was a leader of the Brexit campaign, Boris became the PM and went to an election saying he would "Get Brexit done", Boris won the election and "Got Brexit done", Boris caught Covid and was saved by the NHS (as he's proud of telling), Boris is PM of the Government that then offered the NHS 1%, and Boris is now making choices that will push up wages and inflation to 5%+ and is proud of that fact, telling us all to "Get on with it".
Is Boris a man that lives by his promises? How are NHS workers supposed to "get on with it" and get payrises that keep up with inflation? What has happened to that 350 million quid a week he suggested they could have?
