Ian Duncan Smith is brilliant


He makes a lot of sense. You could learn a lot from him.

If you could learn, that is

He is right

Its not unusual to have elected MPs telling the truth ... its not like the eu you know.

Say goodbye to 39 billion ...

Re: Were We Ever A Member Of The EU ?? Part One.

IDS voted for the WA, he forced the HoC to pass it without proper scrutiny. He assured mp's he, IDS, had read the WA properly and they could trust him on his word, it contained nothing detrimental for the UK.

Now, after 6 months leaving the EU, he has read it? I would be ashamed to compare myself with such a fool! IDS has turned himself into the laughing stock of international politics, and doing the british credibility no favour.

Didn't our courts already rule that we didn't have to pay a cent to the EU? Or am I misremembering?

Re: Were We Ever A Member Of The EU ?? Part One.

That's right !

Re: Were We Ever A Member Of The EU ?? Part One.

No he hasn't. While the deal was signed at the beginning of this year, its exact implementation is being decided at a joint committee of EU and UK officials, with michael gove heading the UK delegation. If the joint committee cannot reach a shared opinion on a part, it is the ECJ which has the final say. It's all described in the WA.

Re: Were We Ever A Member Of The EU ?? Part One.

That was a fable going round before the WA was signed. Boris signed the UK up to the payments in the WA, and HoC ratified it (on instigation of IDS if I may remind you)
