They collect expenses — They still give up an awful amount of their time on behalf of their constituencies . They should be compensated for this and the more they take from English coffers the better. Milk the bastards dry.
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.
As a former SF member yes I know the workings- but they have to acknowledge the fact they are paid directly/ indirectly via London p.s. I’ve no problems with anyone raping England,- but man up SF,( FFS they’re like alcoholics pretending to all that they’re off the bevy- whilst still slugging away)
They are compensated for their time. They are not on a salary
Snigger/ snigger,even more sniggering going on
Go back to playing FIFA.

Decent Twitter thread on Britain’s delusions about how the EU negotiates.
-
We think Germany is the only country that matters in Europe. We fetishise Berlin. We’re blind to the daily horsetrading & lowest common denominator politics of the EU. And underestimate the immense difficulty of turning the EU supertanker around on any collective position.
-
We chose Brexit, even though it will make us worse off, because we understand some things matter more than money. Yet when it comes to understanding the EU’s motives for a deal, we simply assert they need one to avoid economic damage. Perhaps contradictory, perhaps stupid.
-
We insist on reopening the Withdrawal Agreement to revisit the Irish Backstop, yet astonishingly think once Pandora’s Box is open again no other EU-27 country will want to revisit issues that they care about (fairly or otherwise) - Gibraltar, fish, money, security, etc etc
-
We have never understood EU leaders’ commitment to the integrity of the single market; how crucial it is to the EU’s conception of itself. As if trade & commerce can exist without attachment to the rules that were invented (by us) to make them possible across our continent
-
We’re dismissive/ignorant of domestic politics in the EU-27. Many EU leaders face significant challenges from populist parties angry at the EU & wanting a better deal. They fear the demonstration effect of a Brexit deal where we keep the good stuff & ditch the obligations.

Those who took the free state side were traitor’s end of- free state army were fucking tyrants ruled by tyrants
Right — Is it not the same in NI today then? How do you get politically active and not take compensation from the British state ? - Are you suggesting that the south should be compensating SF councillors and the likes?
Nationalists. I love them. Claiming credit for shit they never did at a time they weren’t around in.
