Britain will vote on whether to remain in the EU on Thursday 23 June, Prime Minister David Cameron has said.
The prime minister made his historic announcement in Downing Street after briefing the cabinet.
He said he would be campaigning to remain in a reformed EU - and described the vote as one of the biggest decisions "in our lifetimes".
Ministers immediately divide

They're simply waiting for the mother of all mudslides so they can close the line completely as being too uneconomic to restore.
Got to make savings, don't you know, what??!!

Have done and remember it well. I'm actually amazed there hasn't yet been a massive multuple fatality accident on that stretch tbh. Not so much the sea but from mudslide type thingies.

A8,
Has Boris asked you to join the war cabinet to deal with Iran?
He has such a good record in dealing with Iran and choosing his words carefully

You should try living down there. Twice a year you'd get 1-2 weeks where your daily train commute to and from Exeter could be halted outside Dawlish, waiting for the worst of the waves to stop crashing over the train and tracks.
p.s. do NOT diss the genius of IK Brunel.

It's about building capacity too.

Better rail services to Cornwall would be great.
Only in Britain would we make it so the only train line that connects to one of the rainiest parts of the country runs under a sheer cliff and literally a fucking meter away from the fucking sea.

It's a total vanity project. There are dozens of other, less glamorous rail projects that could be completed for much less money and reap far more tangible benefits for the country.
Commuter routes could be quadruple tracked, closed routes re-opened to provide alternative paths between places (Oxford-Cambridge being but one example. the old Grand Central another).
What, apart from the earth used to build the embankments is actually British in the whole thing?

Last year, in Russia, the tyrannical dictatorship of Putin arrested 400 people for things they said on social media.
This is terrible.

HS2 = even more trains for gavvy to spot.

We have to continually improve but it’s when costs continually rise far beyond the final expectation

Just because some people question the validity of government projects doesn't automatically make them items of 'mad Kipper thing of hate'.
As if you'd know anything about it anyway....

0.28% is 0.28%. Plug that gap then move onto the next. Don't bother with trying to rank the outgoings in order, all the time you're doing that, more and more haemorrhages out of the UK economy.
We CAN stop the money going to the EU. THEN we can look at other potential savings - Foreign Aid budget, for instance, or HS2.

True but isn't that down to uncontrolled immigration resulting in huge increases in childbirth rates. Labour want more immigration don't they?

Well you're not wrong there. The trouble is memories are short as to how UK got to that point where the economy needed austerity. The Tories definitely carried it too far though.
Unfortunately, when you elect politically correct, pen pushers as leaders you get teh kind of unimaginative and poor leadership you've had.
Perhaps the time is right for a change but an antisemite, pro-terrorist, Marxist that faces a possible vote of no confisence from Labour peers could be the answer I suppose...

"record expenditure to the NHS, Education and care programmes"
That's inflation for you.
When it comes to education spend per pupil is the better measure and that is not at record levels at all.

It occured to me the other day that in France and Hong Kong the people protest about holding onto their democracy. In UK they protest about wanting to give it up....just saying!
