Gotta wonder which side is responsible, is it the remainers trying to bump the figures, or the outers deliberately trying to discredit it?
It was something around 77000-78000 that were removed, so not a big deal now, given how many others have signed. Although I doubt it'll be taken seriously, it can't be ignored completely, not when you consider it'll probably be around five million before midweek.
The whole thing is becoming a bit of a farce tbh, the promises are being broken and the predictions are coming true...pesky experts and their truth telling.
More pain Just Realised that Weller nicked the start of Changing man from ELO.

ELO are a great band, and no doubt I'll be wrong and crackers for saying that.

Roger Bootle a pro Brexit economist has written an article in the Sunday Telegraph today. It contains this little gem about the economy and George Osborne.
"If it does deteriorate then he is not forced to do anything. He has a choice. I would do nothing and just let the borrowing numbers rise a bit. If he deems this too dangerous then he shouldn't clobber UK consumers but should rather suspend the foreign aid budget which would immediately save £12 billion a year"
So let's be clear - he's suggesting that to deal with a self inflicted trashing of our economy we should let a few kids in 3rd world countries starve to death.
Nice bunch of people these experts that the Leave camp did choose to believe.
The Corbyn story is a media scam. Oh no, Charlie Falconer resigned, boo hoo. Plus several other non-entities who've made no impact in the last 8 months until today. Why weren't they resigning when Toxic Tony was killing Iraqis in the name of freedom? Or when Gormless Gordon was destroying the pension funds? No, that was OK by them!

You notice Foreign Aid always comes up as a convenient source of free money. If we didn't bomb so many places in the pretence of democracy, we would save massively more than £12bn, + the money we wouldn't be spending on giving them aid afterwards!

No, keep that aid but just put the taxes up, rich poeple can aford 50 - 55%
Band Taxable income Tax rate
Personal Allowance Up to £11,000 0%
Basic rate £11,000 to £43,000 20%
Higher rate £43,001 to £150,000 40%
Additional rate over £150,000 45%
Plentry scope there to ease the pressure for a while.
Wasn't it 90% for the ricj in the 60's, Beatles tax man was about it.
It was 90% through most of the seventies as well which was why Slade relocated to America in 1975. The taxman took most of the money they earned from hit records and Slade earned far less than the Beatles.
