Its exactly the reason I never give to charity! (Well, apart from being too tight !) The idea that cart is a charity is very misleading. It's a public ltd company with some charitable aims, it got special discompensation to use "trust" in its name. Discompensation, is that the crime when these gangs set up deliberate car crashes? As for adding a few letters, I think I'd be more comfortable with "Canal and River Mistrust"

Id hardly call £150K pa a 'huge salary' in this day & age.....🙄 Parry gets substantually more than the PM for allowing the canals to fall into disrepair!! And the financial officer Stuart what ever his name is gets even more than parry a year for selling everything off. I'm sure he'll get a huge bonus this year for selling the marinas. Mills. All grist to the Mills!

Exactly! There was no mention of a deal on the ballot paper. In fact I’m still trying to find out where this concept of a deal originated from. Theresa May has been taking the piss - and collecting a huge salary for it all this time. A public hanging is the only deterrent. Any nonsense from the EU and I'd drop a nuke on Brussels and another one on Berlin. It's that simple. Don't agree..that woman ..like or loathe her has worked tirelessly and all she's ever got is a bunch of backstabbing whining mongrels around her.. I don't like the deal..doubt any do but the EU were never ever gonna make it easy or sweet because would have opened the flood gates to other dissatisfied countries.. Sometimes your solutions are just spouted drivel... Sometimes you post sensible stuff.. Just read what you've put here... Trouble is common sense is lacking...

It was essential that CRT had the word "trust" in their name ..... as there seems bugger all trust in them by boaters

I like these quotes concerning Brexit. Don't read them if you don't care for copy + paste.
"Recently 129 MEPs signed a letter to the great British public, asking us to reconsider our referendum decision, to prevent ‘an unfolding Brexit disaster’. Apparently they were ‘reluctant to intervene in (our) domestic politics’, but stuck their oar in anyway, because (and get this) ‘Brexit is very different to the promises made by the Leave campaign nearly three years ago’. Can you believe the audacity of pointing the finger at the Leave campaign, in the light of the duplicity and cynicism displayed towards the 17.4m. ‘leave’ voters by both the EU and our own government during this period? It’s just breathtaking.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, the letter went on to say that a decision to stay would mean that (and get THIS!) ‘we would work with you to reform and improve the EU so that it works better in the interests of all citizens’. Talk about havin’ a larf. ‘Reform and improve’? When has this bloated, undemocratic plutocracy ever shown the slightest interest in reforming itself? I’d sooner believe that pigs, no, elephants, can fly.
At least Parliament grew some balls and threw May’s bucket of shit deal into the Thames in mid January. There’s still time for more twists and turns in this interminable saga, but perhaps, just perhaps, we’ll truly be free from this rotting corpse of an organisation come March. In anticipation of that happy event I say to those MEPs; ‘get off the British gravy train and wave it goodbye, as it’s about to chug off around the bend and out of sight’.
To paraphrase John Lennon, ‘all you want is cash cash, cash is all you want’. Well start looking elsewhere for it, you twats. "
"Send the letter back and tell them they didn’t know what they were signing, they were lied to and things have changed since the letter was written and they can have a chance to reconsider."
"There are far too many quisling MP’s whose very oxygen depends upon the continuing membership to what is no more than a glorified gentleman’s club. The Brussels HQ is a hustling and bustling mass of MEPs hungry for that lucky ticket to the top table, where the likes of Verminhofstad, Tusk, Barnier and Kinnock, Van Rompey enjoy and have previously enjoyed the very finest for the paltry sum of some hot wind in exchange."
"The EU is nothing more than a shower of criminal shit, running a protection racket – legalised versions of the Kray twins."
"Reform and improve if you stay with us? That sounds like like the East German government promising true socialism if the people gave them another chance in ’89. One can only hope this is the last desperate cry of the EU before it’s collapse."
"Britain voted to join (1973) and remain in (1975) the European ECONOMIC Community NOT some version of a United States of Europe. The Single Market was established at the end of 1992 and introduced 280 pieces of legislation in which we, the public, had no say. If there’s ever a case of being “misled”, I think it's membership of the EU"

It was railroaded in by the government with the enthusiastic collusion of the opposition. There is very good reason to believe. that if there had been a vote to join or not, we may have remained outside the Common Market. The 1975 referendum was passed because most of the public had believed that we had already cut our throats and pissed off the Commonwealth, also remember we were joining a free trade area .... not a European Empire run by plutocrats

"European Council President Donald Tusk (I think he’s an ex schoolmate of Cameron) is a twat. He’s now saying that Russias’s bombing of ISIS and the other Syrian terrorist/”freedom fighters” is bumping up the migrant numbers to Europe. He says sod all about Turkey (that massive twat Erdogan) giving travel vouchers to Syrians, Iraqis and assorted Africans so they can pay the people smugglers to cross the Med. He says nothing about the US sponsoring/funding ISIS ‘cos he’s a lying, bought and paid for twat. You just have to look at him – he’s got TWAT written all over his face; I don’t know how he got elected, or it may be European Council members just buy or blackmail their way in like our own House of Lords, another bunch of TWATS." " “Our hearts are open” Tusk said. Well, Don, our wallets are closed. We all know that the ONLY reason you want us to stay is financial. We are the second largest financial contributor to the EU, and our leaving will punch a massive hole in the EU’s economy. We are NOT changing our minds. We’ve had to fight too hard for this. We ARE leaving the EU. So sod you, sod Juncker, sod Verhofstadt and Barnier and most definitely, sod the EU. We’re done with you."

I've not been following the shenanigans any more..what will happen ref Brexit began to feel like that out of control train and I decided to wait n see end result... There is always lots to be said by very important people that does not take in the wishes of the common people....the small voice that tries to call for alternatives is stifled... Its all a mess.

I think the powers that be in the EU aren’t exactly helping themselves with public opinion. I wonder what the public now think in other member countries? They must be questioning their own membership.
It does show what happens when you push power too far away from the public. Especially to a government which is not accountable. It’s bad enough that our own government seem unable to honour the wishes of the majority despite claiming to be democratic.

Its sad that this Tusk character gets £300k+ per year remuneration.
That shows the whole thing up for what it is. Money grabbing.
