EU Referendum

Best to keep quiet about it.
Re; Minimum wage for under 18's it is about half the normal rate with apprentices even less so no problem with employing them. - 11 March 2016 19:08311757One of the Labour Party's great reasons that we should stay in the EU is the protection and benefits to workers that have been brought in. New Zealand have just announced the banning of zero hours contracts, I eagerly await the EU to follow suit.
- 15 March 2016 19:30311945The bookies still have it as about 3 to 1 on that we will vote to remain in the EU but every time I listen to a news bulletin or read a newspaper article the remain people sound ever more desperate. Hiding documents from the out brigade and making personal attacks on those who want to leave and all sorts of scaremongering.

- 27 March 2016 15:03312394So much scaremongering going on it becomes difficult for voters to decide what to believe, this suggests that non UK NHS staff will be forced to leave the country in the event of an exit vote.

30 March 2016 13:14312429Their knowledge of hydrography questioning DHB's scientific research about dredging the Goodwins, and their knowledge of structural engineering and soil mechanics forensically probing RailTrack's attempts to fix the track between Dover and Folkestone, Deal Town Council have now turned their thoughts to Brexit!
http://www.kentonline.co.uk/deal/news/council-motion-on-eu-branded-93429/
Whilst for most with one jot of intelligence, the topic is finely balanced, and from the Governor of the Bank of England to Financial Journalists, any comments I've read have been couched in terms of 'weighing up the arguments both for and against' before coming out with a statement filled with provisos saying that on balance etc etc, DTC has no such worries.
Remember, the finest brains in the land were unable to forecast the financial crash of 2008/09 no one is going to be stupid enough to make a definite economic prediction on Brexit.
No one apart from Deal Town Council that is!
The statement as passed by Deal Town Council is the sort of definitive view one is likely to overhear at closing time in a bar usually coupled with easy options for the Government to deal with war in the Middle East, Immigration control and Climate Change (were it to exist! Please discuss .....) and other matters which become crystal clear after enough 'falling over water'.
Anyone who 'knows' exactly how any Brexit would affect the local economy is either an economic genius or seriously deluded.
I have seen no sign of the former quality in councillors.
As for 'belief' might I suggest they keep this for matters of faith and deal with things they actually 'know' like the state of local pavements, parking problems, planning matters etc etc where there is an outside chance that they might actually be able to do something useful rather than wallowing in the sound of their own pontifications and political posturing."Shall we go, you and I, while we can? Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds" - 30 March 2016 13:22312430Beat me to it Bob I was just about to post the link from the Express, absolutely hilarious to hear Mr Bano educating us about the benefits of remaining in the EU.

30 March 2016 13:27312431Careful Howard. Do not speak ill of the Honourable Member for Calais Maritime!
(there is of course no truth at all in the rumour that his recently broken leg happened when at midnight, he slipped over on the sands, whilst waving his Aldis lamp to direct a flotilla of inflatable boats ashore!)
#RefugeesWelcome etc etc."Shall we go, you and I, while we can? Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds" - 30 March 2016 20:40312435Captain. How did Cllr Bano slip that past the honourable members of Deal Town Council?
The financial links of Goldman Sachs/EU are still in control of the Deal Town Labour Group and it's clear Ben misses the EU funded jollies to Portugal/Lithuania.
What was the outcome of Cllr Eileen Rowbotham alleged misconduct in Lithuania a couple of years ago? Did the Standards Officer at DDC make an adjudication?
Councillors should concern themselves about pavements, Street lights etc.The pavements of Deal and Dover are lethal at the moment. Definitely crazy paving.
Standby for the same motion to be put forward at DDC Full Council next month. - Captain Haddock

Along with a reduction of acceleration due to gravity from its present 9.8m/s/s, to make it easier for the many locally who are struck down with the scourge of obesity, to waddle around more easily PLUS the erection of a Perpetual Motion Machine in Market Square (I hear consultants are already working on a feasibility study i.e. expensive PowerPoint Presentation) both as a 'feature' reflecting Dover's creative sector and as memorial to the late Samuel Shenton."Shall we go, you and I, while we can?

31 March 2016 12:44312448This guy has the right idea. It's got nothing at all to do with facts.
Let's just make it all up.
It's always worked for me
